For those of you that don't know yet; Twitch Plays Pokemon is an emulated version of Pokemon red or blue (not sure which) that is controlled by user comments. There are tens of thousands of users playing at a time so the entire thing has been a chaotic mess. SOMEHOW though, the hive mind at twitch (led mostly by Reddit and Tumblr users coordinating their efforts) have managed to make considerable progress in the game.

They have actually made it to the Elite Four and are fighting Glacia as I type this. Given the level of their pokemon and the chaotic nature of the input, I imagine they will wipe MANY times before actually completing the Elite Four; but this is amazing progress none the less.
What are your thoughts on this crazy phenomenon Escapist?
(I'm aware threads pertaining to TPP exist, this one is being posted because they are in the final stretch so I don't consider it a repost, please don't comment with "YOOS SERCH BARR ERMAGERD")
