A quick Summer Games Done Quick highlight

[flamebyrd]

Summer Games Done Quick is on right now, raising money for Médecins Sans Frontières|Doctors Without Borders!

I'll probably do a highlights list once it's over, but I wanted to call out this run now specifically because it's so unusual and clever:
Paper Mario "Stop 'n Swop" by JCog in 26:12.

If you've watched that and are confused, I don't blame you in the least, and offer these additional resources:
Pastebin by JCog attempting to explain it
A YouTube video explaining in detail how this trick was discovered (this was what I was really interested in)
The runner's Reddit AMA

That stuff is so STRANGE, it's like watching someone explain how they discovered some obscure aspect of theoretical physics.

Even though I understand all the concepts they're describing, the way they fit together is beyond me! But I find it deeply fascinating.
