now beat it as tofu
-
It’s kind of sad how Edmund doesn’t even have the rights to the massive indie icon that he created
-
that one dude playing forever is singlehandedly keeping the community alive
-
The squirrel is literally just a short gag in the first game that gets reused and made into a whole damn subplot in Forever for absolutely no reason.
-
I'm honestly surprised you didn't mention The End is Nigh at all. It's the true spiritual successor to Super Meat Boy by Edmund McMillen himself and came out in 2017. Ed himself thinks it's criminally overlooked and one of his best games.
-
The End Is Nigh is the only meat boy sequel in my mind
-
Ed: "Makes a randomly generated game." Tommy: "Makes a randomly generated Super Meat Boy sequel." Ed: "Has Ridiculon as the main composer of same game" Tommy: "Has Ridiculon as the main composer of the sequel" Ed: "Makes a spin-off that experiments with a different genre." Tommy: "Makes a spin-off that experiments with a different genre." Something tells me Tommy has not taken Ed's departure super well.

13:53 "going for Girl Boy and Impossible Boy changes a man" line goes so hard
-
33:38 one fun fact about Mewgenics is, that it originally started as a Team Meat project and may even have been responsible for Forever taking so long. McMillen eventually secured the rights in 2018 and continued development with Tyler Glaiel with whom he had previously worked on The End is Nigh.

HOLY MOLY FOECOK IS ALIVE

The original Super Meat Boy should genuinely be considered an absolute classic by now. I played it sooooo much on a crappy laptop with no controller as a kid, and I still get its music stuck in my head from time to time. I hope the series makes a real comeback someday, because it deserves a spot on the pantheon of platformers.
-
Super meat boy is like that one ex that you glance at one every year and then you see them working at a sweatshop.
-
I've got a feeling that they came up with the title for Dr Fetus's Mean Meat Machine and they made it under the pretense that "we wanna make a game with this title cause it's a funny reference" and nothing more
-
as someone who loved super meat boy and bought forever on launch day...im re-experiencing the heartbreak all over again. meat boy cant even have a legacy in tboi four souls anymore, because team meat refused to lend edmund the ip...it makes me sad
-
Its a real shame for super meatboy forever, if only they kept they the original mechanic from the first game and make you run around and kept the punching and sliding mechanic and the level design was like the original game, maybe it could have been at least decent
-
an actual sequel with the forever artstyle and hand-made levels would go hard, but oh well, good video!
-
There's a reason "100% the game!" Is a different achievement than the boy achievements.
-
Remember, The End is Night is the true secuel to super meat boy

0:35 There I am Gary, there I am!
