    So you think your good eh?

    Time to prove it in the gamers challenge I present before you.

    No this is not some lame QWOP showdown I have a game for you to play that is actually fun. It's just flippin hard.

    You know super meat boy right? Well its like that but its free and downloadable so everybody can play it.

    Go get I Wanna Be The Boshy

    I started today and I am playing on Hard mode and got to the first boss.

    You can follow along with my progress on YouTube.

    So you guys go play, I want to see you beat the game and also there is multiplayer so if I get a few people interested maybe we can try that out.

    Lol I couldn't help myself. I'm now playing. I can't say I got far though. I'm pretty terrible with the double jump. I can never catch the ledges. When I saw level 2 in your video = :eek:

    Oh god this game.. by far the hardest non-romhack game I've ever attempted. I now draw the line at Super Meat Boy/classic Mega Man.

    Vicious I'm having trouble doing those chain jump regen dots. Do you mash the jump so that when you hit it you instantly jump as soon as you hit it, or does it just take a crazy amount of timing?

    Edit: Just watched the final boss fight on youtube. I'm uninstalling the game lol.
