    So that Trine challenge, what's the quickest/easiest way to do it?

    Get to level 5 (first place water shows up). Jump in the water. Switch characters when the one you are on is almost out of breath. Should get it sometime during the third character.

    Go to the fifth level. Then when you get to some water just stay under and switch out your characters when their about to drown.

    Alright, so time for a contest!

    BEST BURGER RECIPES!

    So in honor of the bravest wad of meat around, (And because I am dying for some tasty burgers) I will be giving out a free copy of Super Meat Boy to the Best sounding recipe for burgers that gets submitted to me. I want western burgers, greek, whatever crazy awesome recipes you can submit. Doesnt even have to be Beef... you got a way to make a turkey burger that isnt dried out and awful? SUBMIT IT! Just make sure they are edible, thats my only condition. (Pictures are a bonus too!)

    I will be going to work for quite awhile in a few minutes, so I'll judge them tomorrow morning.

    If you post them in the thread make sure to PM me with a link at the very least to make sure I get it.


    Oh and for some added incentive, there will be a Secret 2nd Place prize game as well (so if you already have SMB, keep submitting anyway!)

    I already have SMB, but let me tell you about the best burgers I have made. It's not so much a recipe, as it is a lifestyle. I have a buddy who raises nice, lean Black Angus cattle. We bought a half of one such cow a couple years back, and it produced some of the best ground beef on the planet. The first time we made tacos with it, we gave leftovers to the dog and she kept barking at the bowl after she ate it. She has never done that for any food, and se loves to eat beef. Anyway, the trick (since the beef was so lean) is to make sure you cook it just enough to still be juicy but safe. (However, since this is raised by a person I know and trust, I'd say it is less likely to be disease-ridden.) This beef was so flavorful that it didn't even really need seasoning, but it is made better with a special ingredient: Texas Roadhouse fry seasoning. Perhaps a bit too salty for some, but if'n you can't take the salt, well mister, we just can't be friends. In case you don't know what Texas Roadhouse is, it is an American restaurant chain. Now, I don't know what they put in it to make it so good, but I assume it is crack. Salty, salty crack cocaine. How does one procure such seasoning? That is an exercise left to the reader, but it involves being at a TR and asking nicely "so I can sprinkle some extra on my fries." Once cooked, top it off to your preference. I prefer white cheese, bacon, and ketchup. No need to fancy it up with pineapple or guacamole or what-have-you toppings. All on a corn dusted sandwich bun. Also, only on the grill; gas is fine, but charcoal is better.

    TL ; DR --
    Small local farm lean Black Angus ground beef
    Texas Roadhouse fry seasoning
    Grilled to be safe but still juicy
    Top however you like it, but nothing un-American, please
    Corn-dusted bun

    What's funny is that some people might say "It's free! If you have the tickets sure it's worth it!" What these people don't understand is that sometimes even free isn't worth the shame of having it on your games list. ;-)

    So I was thinking of snatching up the Force Unleashed games for pc (as the Ultimate Sith Edition sounds enticing) but the info I've heard on it is depressing. Did they ever fix any of the obvious bugs or issues with the pc version of the games?

    I have no idea what is going on in Swarm Arena

    It's an odd game but one I really like.

    It's really feel driven, and the mechanics are a lot deeper than you'd expect on first encounter. Momentum is important, knowing what the different power-ups do is important, and understanding how the force fields change the flow of the Arena is very important. Learn to "pulse" your swarm, instead of firing them outside of your field of control, where they are easily defeated on their own. Also, playing with a gamepad is a lot more enjoyable for me than KBAM but it's not necessary for entry. I find there their is an almost trance like zone that I have to get into to succeed with the game. It's very rhythm and feel oriented, and knowing where to be in the right place at the right time is a pretty vital skill to develop.

    The earliest level you can do this in is called "Crystal Caverns". The easiest way to do it is to switch characters before you drown. Another way of doing it is to get the "Scales Of Fish" item, it lets you breathe under water. You can find the "Scales of Fish" in the "Fangle Forest" level.
