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.

I loved this one. His next one was called GIRP and I played it so much I started speedrunning it, back before twitch was a thing

    Wait... GIRP is finishable?! I assumed it was infinitely generated because I'm terrible at it and didn't get anywhere near the end! Aw I might play it at lunch tomorrow :)
