First it's the fucking flappy bird.
I mean people really got crazy for flappy bird.

Even an MMO!  |
Most fucking annoying game I've ever played in my life!
No we've got another bottom up creation.
Which is not even a creation! And its based on cooperation and nostalgia!
It's called Twitch plays Pokemon.
50.000 people playing at the time I took the screenshot!
30 fucking million views!
And it goes like this for 13 days now.
So twitch is a website where you can stream people play video games.
What is unique about twitch plays pokemon is that everyone plays one character. But in cooperation with around 50.000 people. Crazy shit right?
You can make really simple choices. UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, A, B. The Game Boy buttons.
What I really like about this experiment is that even though it's simple when it gets great in scale it doesn't work. They even released their poor char char...
They even have a choice between anarchy and democracy. I'ts a tie so far but democracy seems to be winning.
You know what I really love about this game? It's a mess! It really is a picture of this damn world!
People cannot cooperate. Each and everyone does what they like. It really is so hard to manage the choices of 50.000 people.
Now imagine that in 6 billion. And now imagine congress. Or every kind of a collective kind of decision making institution.
Damn hard right? It's like we keep our fate together.
