    If you're already playing super meat boy, VVVVVV will not seem that hard by comparison. At least that was my experience. Well, except for the room named "the final challenge." Died a bunch there.

    Also I have no idea how Viridian will work. The way that game operates doesn't seem conducive to adding him to SMB, and it's not like he has an ability to give him other than flip.

    Could be they'll just give him some extra control over gravity or something.

    Yeah, I died nearly 200 times in one section of "The Final Challenge". Fuuuuuuuuck that place, I died there more than I died doing "Veni Vidi Vici".

    Part 3

    Also, you still Veni Vedi Vici to do, if I'm not wrong. Good luck with that!

    Be warned, if you don't like profanity you should just mute it.

    I was thinking, and if they want him to work in all levels, he'd have to be able to flip gravity mid air, otherwise for lots of levels he'd just fly off the top of the level and die.

    5-17X and 5-18X's bandages took me like three hundred deaths and a considerable spike in blood pressure to get, I just couldn't get my shit together

    When I did the IWBTG stages I think I had maybe ninety deaths across the three of them

    I was kind of startled given how hard everyone had said they were

    So I found The Kid's warp today. At first I laughed when his intro was just him getting killed by a cherry. Then I saw his first stage and started getting IWBTG flashbacks and crying

    What the hell is going on when you select The Kid from the character select screen? It's like he transforms into something but I can't see it clearly before the screen disappears.

    he's getting smacked by an apple (or possibly cherry), the way he did in the cutscene for his stage

    and bunches of times in his own game

    Weird

    I did the Warp Zone Hand Held Hack and beat it (and luckily got both bandages in it), but it doesn't show up on my world map

    The game may have stopped saving or it might just be a glitch. When it did it to me it was just a glitch. You should back out to the main menu and then reload the file to make sure.

    Got my 100% today. I still have quite a few bandages left (some really tough ones) but I guess this is the good part of the save glitch?

    Yeah, at first it was just a hmm. Curious. Now I think it's full on. I should inquire with the creators. Because that would sort of raise this game up a few disturbing notches.

    it says a lot about the game that when i got to the final level of hell and saw
    the endless rain of dead meat boys, my first thought was "that isn't nearly enough to be accurate"

    I've gotten two glitch levels so far but wasn't able to complete either. I thought I heard that once you got to them, they would appear before level 1 in the light world but they aren't there.

    Did I hear wrong?

    they appear before level 1 in the world in which you get them

    so if you get a glitch level in world 2, it would appear before level 1 in world 2

    Team Meat previously told me that preorders would be available "possibly" last week, but that was last week. It's been a week since then.

    I am disappoint.

    does this game have a limit on the number of character instances shown in one replay? I swear I died at least a hundred times on the last level in The End but it only showed what seemed like a few dozen Meat Boys in the replay

    Yes, there's a limit; IIRC, it's 40.

    I caved and bought the 360 version of the game.

    I still intend to pick it up for the PC though.

    I've had it for 360 since it came out and I'm still playing it. And I'm still excited for the PC version.

    I really want to play as Mr. Minecraft and Captain Viridian. I'm also really excited to see what people can come up with using the level editor.

    Man. Hell is so accurately named. I'm stuck on the boss.

    Make sure that you know that you can jump over his sweeping fists (his first and second attack).

    For the headbutt you can stand on the raised edges of the platform.

    For the I'M CRAZY AND PUNCH THE PLATFORM move, you can stand almost at the middle of the platform. Then when he punches one side - quickly jump to the edge of the platform and he will stop his attack. Avoid the burning things.

    Once you get those moves in order it's basically a little trial and error to see which attack he uses when, they all appear several times but the pattern is always the same.

    Soon im going to sit down and get through that warp zone. Character related ones dont make you start over from the beggining right?

    And does getting A+ on dark worlds count for anything other than bragging rights?

    Yeah. Character warp zones are just like regular levels. It would literally be impossible to unlock any of these characters if they were jerks and gave you 3 lives until you had to start over.

    And no, nothing special for dark world As. Just bragging rights.

    So I was under the impression that they were patching all the bandage/level completion glitches "very soon" but that was a damn while ago. Their website doesn't mention anything about an upcoming patch but do you guys know anything about it?

    Basically I want to go back to worlds 1 and 2 for bandages and warp zones but it glitched pretty hard my first time through so I was waiting for the patch.
