IT IS 5:30 AM. I HAVE A TEST LATER THIS MORNING. I CANNOT SLEEP BECAUSE MY MOM'S BOYFRIEND IS ******** LVU AOFDUD LOud

Runner2 is out!

Somehow I doubt that. razz
You should all buy it through the bundle!
...Unless you wanna buy it on Wii U.
...Or if you don't wanna buy it at all. crying

I don't care that much, but I can still announce when a game is out. =P

Got it on PC for cheevos and TF2 shoes and for the fact that my Wii U is in the living room now and I'd rather not punch my d**k off in the living room. I might get it on Wii U later if there's a sale just to support it and have Miiverse.

That said... what the ******** happened? It's weird the direction they took with a lot of things in it.

The graphics look awesome in all the footage I've seen.

Honestly I'm starting to feel like doing the retro thing is becoming a bit old-hat.

I like the original BIT.TRIP series because they were all super-unique experiences that were abstract as hell and required you to look closer to see what was going on. The whole series was a commentary on what it's like to be a person-to live and die-and for your whole self, soul and body to return back to from whence it came, to be a part of everything else.

There were some goofy cutscenes but for the most part the series remained pretty serious, while not having to have a man with 5 o' clock shadow commenting on war. It was neat because each time I downloaded one of the games, it was a fresh experience with concept presented in ways that I'd never seen or really thought of before.

Runner2 starts off and there are hills with monocles and mustaches-that's fine. Runner had trees with glasses and other stupid s**t like that (which I still complained about at the time). Then you get to unlock a new character in world 2. Spoilers below.

Reverse Merman. He's a fish on top and a man on the bottom, wearing whitie-tighties and sandals. Pretty funny and seems to be par for the course because the first character you unlock is a pickle man named Uncle Dill. Reverse Merman looks a bit... phallic, though, which is slightly strange. Oh well.

Then you play as him and see that he has huge, hanging, dangling balls. HUGE. When he gets impaled into the target at the end of a stage, they hang off (and it looks bad, kind of like a d**k with balls is going into his a**). Pretty... weird. He is also a checkpoint host for world 2, so if you don't play as him, he sits by the checkpoint and runs with you if you jump over it for a moment. His checkpoint building is a house with a giant crab on it that has a sign which reads "We have crabs!"

...Did Suda have input on this game?

It just seems really weird. I get they were going for something different, but... I don't know. I like crude humor, but having unlocked a character with big dangling balls just doesn't even seem funny to me. I cringed seeing "We have crabs!" What happened? The worst the first six games ever got was having CV dance in a cutscene or a sign that read "BURGER MOUTH."

That's what's mainly bothering me. Then there's the couple of new moves I've seen that are kind of weird-both loop de loops. Why not just add something else rather than a second one? Then there's a few issues where I can't really tell what is an enemy and what's not and stuff. Too much going on and it's hard to see what you need to see. I've also had the camera not move to snap to me fast enough, resulting in me not being able to see gold that I need at all.

And the cannon thing is ******** stupid.

Still pretty proud of that
