For those of you who missed the epic platformer flash game MEAT BOY you should click one of those links and check it out right now.

For everyone who knows what I’m talking about, you should be super excited because SUPER MEAT BOY is coming out in less than two days! Featured as downloadable game for WiiWare, XBox Live, and PC that has already recieved rave reviews. I’ll let a little copy paste action explain:
Super Meat Boy is a game where you play as a boy without skin whos girlfriend who is made of bandages gets kidnapped by a fetus in a tuxedo wearing a top hat and a monocle.

Super Meat Boy features platforming madness spanning over 300 levels of saws, disease, fire, lasers, missiles, and various other traps that Meat Boy must avoid to rescue is lady love.

Right? who couldn’t love that? The flash version is super fun and deliciously meaty, so I’m super stoked to heave my credit card at my TV to get SUPER MEAT BOY when it’s out!

I particularly enjoy the F.A.Q. posted on their website:

CD Spotlight: Final Fantasy VI Grand Finale

Following my post about the Final Fantasy VI Piano Collections, I had to post this one particular Final Fantasy album, Final Fantasy VI Grand Finale. Like the Piano Collections, this album draws from the 16-bit source music from Final Fantasy VI, original for Super Nintendo (SNES), and brings it to life in a new arrangement, exceptionally recorded and mixed.

Final Fantasy VI Grand Finale is truly a work of art, featuring beautiful orchestral strings, harpsichord, piano, flute, and even operatic vocals in the closing track. Composed and arranged by Nobuo Uematsu himself, Final Fantasy VI Grand Finale is a captivating and moving collection musich.

Attached is the beyond-classic Final Fantasy VI Opening Theme, set appropriately as the opening track of the album.
