Twitch Plays Pokemon is one of the dumbest, most brilliant things I've ever seen. Ridiculous experiment that's having hilarious results. Firstly, it's giving Twitch problems with their chat servers. They put TPP on it's OWN server, but it's still causing issues in their chat system, just because of how much traffic it's causing. Secondly, it's spawning a religion around the Helix Fossil and Bird Jesus(Pidgeot). It's hilarious to watch, even if it's only possible to take it for a short amount of time.
For those who don't know, Twitch Plays Pokemon is a stream of Pokemon Red where the chat controls the game. By typing the commands into the chat, they get inputted into the game via a script that the the person who started it all came up with. The results are damned hilarious, and at this point usually has anywhere between 60 and 100 thousand viewers. The made it through the Safari Zone, which is where I thought they'd be completely SOL, and they just caught Zapdos. It's an impressive achievement.
