Fast Facts: Super Meat Boy

It's hard to write about Super Meat Boy as it has been cover by the press and was given some major treatment in Indie Game: The Movie. That said, I found this fast facts video pretty interesting, if not a bit short.

I've been playing Super Meat Boy a bit at a time over the months and am currently pretty far into the salt factory. Currently the Steam Mac version is broken and the only Linux version of Meat Boy was released with the Humble Bundle. That said, I do plan on finishing this one but I hope it is ported to Steam on Linux so it can be played on the Steam Box.

All that said, how far have you made it through Meat Boy? What is the furthest you have gone in the game?... Read All

Means the only way this thing goes bye bye is with some kind of lock down or exile.

After watching Indie Game: The Movie I decided to try Super

After watching Indie Game: The Movie I decided to try Super Meat Boy. From what I saw in the movie, it looked awesome. I know I am behind on giving this game a shot, but I am glad I tried it out as it is a really unique modern experience.

First off the game really feels like Super Mario Brothers. Well, that's not entirely true, it feels like a more... stripped down Mario Brothers. Something more... focused perhaps. Think Mario, with just platforming. It is also quite challenging but that didn't hit me in the feels, I like how hard it is.

The premise is you are Meat Boy and Dr. Fetus keeps capturing your girlfriend Bandage Girl. In every level you make it to her and that... Read All

I have a few USB controllers and they are really nice for some games. In fact, Amazon has some very cheap old school NES or SNES controllers as well:

I played a few games with controller recently, Super Meat Boy, Cave Story & Sleeping Dogs.

I can't help but wonder where people come up with these names.

Super Meat Boy because he is made of meat and... Super. Sleeping Dogs I think... Someone help me if I eat this wrong, but I think it's a take on the old "let sleeping dogs lye" adage.
