What's that gemma?

For more information on this game, check the Homestar Runner Wiki article:
http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Where's_an_Egg%3F

A/V: Nate (or someone) has some cropping to do, and the frame rate is probably higher than necessary. Also, the game's native resolution is VERY small - IMO it should have been played in a smaller window than it was here so that the mouse cursor would be easier to see and the video wouldn't have a senselessly large resolution.

Anyway, the infamous run of Clue is a good analogue to what's going on here. Compared to that game, the odds of a correct blind guess is much higher here (1/9 instead of 1/324). The runner places the mouse at a location where it can click both a location on the overworld map and the "shoot gun" button, then he mashes the left button and hopes he shot the right person.

I think there's a debate to be had as to whether a run like this belongs on this website, but with Clue as a precedent, that debate was obviously already settled. This run is every bit as valid as that one, so it's an accept in my book.

Hey lady, DRAW!

I agree with Crow! on this one. It's a (very) short and silly run, but brevity is the soul of wit, I guess? Accept
