Seriously, if I'm tossed out a high speed minecart I should not stop in mid-air and fall straight down. That's just weird.

I've played through and beaten all of Sonic 4 Ep 1. I really did enjoy the game. It felt, in may ways, like the classic 16-bit games. I have two complaints: first off, the physics, as you rightly note, are different. I really did not like the change at first, and I would prefer if they would use the older physics model. That being said, I think that if we had not played the 16-bit games, we would not have noticed---that is, the physics are different, but they are no better or worse (from an objective standpoint) than the physics of the older games. Once you get used to the physics, the game is quite playable.

Second, the game is short. On the other hand, what do I expect for $15?

Well, that bit of spam was (though inaccurate) actually close to being relevant.

Not too objectionable. :roll:

Consider trying veganism, etc.

Personally, I find Team Meat's response much more amusing.

Speaking of Super Meat Boy: Just finished the Light world (not counting warp zones, picking up bandages, and the bandage girls levels).

Frankly, I don't know whether to be proud of cry at the thought of all that's missing :(

Yeah, I just read that :D

In all seriousness though, not eating meat > eating meat, objectively, in almost every way.

Also lulz + meh at the trolling ... that is, the success of it. I'll be the first to admit not all PETA supporters are equally ... uh, "on top of things". The same holds true for supporters of most other things, as well.

Taste being one of those exceptions.

Apparently Tofu Boy will be added in an upcoming patch:

Taste is what I reference when I cite the few exceptions I know. I hear human meat is salty but tasty as well, by the way :roll:

One thing though, I can't find a reference to Super Meat Boy on PETAs Tofu Boy site - I would have at least liked a link or something. Or a disclaimer explaining what Super Meat Boy is, because it's obviously an opportunistic homage.

That being said, my thumbs are aching from playing Super Meat Boy for 13 hours. I need bandages IRL.

Meatboy any good if you're not that much of a hardcore games or platformer?

Ubisoft dickheads...I get an email asking for my opinion on Assasin's Creed Brotherhood and I think "oh fine, I'll tell them how much I like the multiplayer"...after a few questions about my demographic up comes the message "Sorry you don't fit into our demographic...end of survey"...wankers!

Hahaha, lol, why would you cooperate anyway? It's not like they wanna produce better games... just games that sell better.. so... yea... kinda naive of you don't you think? Ubi is evil and they don't give a shit as they clearly demonstrated to you.
