My six-year-old asked me how we walk and as I was trying to tell him a literal simple explanation of how our brain tells our muscles to move and lift our leg etc. he lifts his knee and as soon as I see his pose it hits me like HEY there’s a game that is about exactly this. QWOP!

Ah ladies and gentleman, take a trip down memory lane to the absurdity and inanity of trying to get your able-bodied runner down the track in his quest for the 100m. My personal best is… 3.7m and I consider that a feat! Ah this game is the best of the Internet.

    There’s much more to GDQ than that, for the record! Of course it’s all about going fast, yes, but there are categories that don’t allow glitches, 100% runs that even with glitches showcase a lot of the game, and on the main events they have been including more and more showcase runs. My favourite this past AGDQ was the Super Mario 64 70 Star, 70 Person relay.
