Via torachan: video with commentary of the World's Hardest Game (NSFW for language). It started and I wasn't too impressed, but by 2:21 I was giggling uncontrollably. And the game itself. (I got 3.2 meters before falling over backwards in a heap. Woo!)

Ow ow ow... I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face!

Have you tried the game? XD

Is it sad that I knew you meant QWOP before I even clicked the link? XD

Though my personal bet for the world's hardest game is I Wanna Be The Guy.

No, not yet... but given that I've never managed the hand-eye coordination for any Mario or Zelda games, despite my best efforts over two decades -- when I tried Twilight Princess after watching Tav play for hours, I managed to run backwards into corners repeatedly (after he got me out of the previous corners) -- that kind of gameplay fail is actually far too familar to me. It's very gratifying to see it happen to someone else, though!

I tried multiple times to play Crazy Taxi, but couldn't make it past the beginning tutorial!

OMG, I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to stop breathing.

I read the help text for the game and then managed to make it up to about 9 meters, with a semi-running, semi-jumping movement. The trick is that you can hold the buttons down, and you can hold down two simultaneously. But it's hard to get the rhythm right.
