All I was trying to do was run. It's not so hard: calves and quads, up and down. A child could do it. But I couldn't, which is the magic of QWOP.Developed in 2008, QWOP is a simple video game. You use the Q, W, O and P keys to control the legs of an Olympic athlete trying to run 100 meters. But it turns out that it's a lot more complicated than that: The controls are wonky and awkward. You'll try to step high and fall back. After several minutes, due to a fall, I go backward.
