Bringing home the bacon

For persistent people like me, Meat Boy can really eat up your time. After beating the original game, I took on the map pack, a collection of user-submitted levels that proved more devious than the original set. After two sessions of playing, I haven't beaten half the levels, but I got what I came for: one of the toughest hard badges on Kongregate.




In degenerate gambling news, I let Tatum talk himself into a parlay bet for the "Rampage" Jackson/Keith Jardine fight. Ok, so get this. I gave him 9 to 1 odds if there was a groin kick in the match and Rampage wins in the second round. Of course, with my twisted luck in sports betting, there are no easy bets. I swear, almost every sports bet I make comes down to the wire. So, lo and behold, Jardine kicks Rampage in the groin in a troubled second round for him and fulfills the hard half of the bet. But somehow, despite whiffing punches and stumbling around the ring, Jardine survived the second round and I got my dinner subsidized.
