As you may have noticed many websites are blacked out today in response to SOPA.  What is SOPA?  Gizmodo has a great little run down here. (Also thanks to Gizmodo for the above image).  Can’t be bothered to read all that?  NO PROBLEM.  Check out the below video.

Make no mistake, this legislation could kill Cubeecraft and any sites like it.  You can write congress now at this handy link: WRITE CONGRESS.

I am a fan of good games, good charities, and good deals – and the folks at Humble Indie Bundle have a history of supporting all three. For the next 11 days you can pay-what-you-will for 3 amazing games: Voxatron, The Binding of Isaac, and Blocks that Matter.

” If you bought these games separately it would cost around $25 but we are letting you set the price.

All of the games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Be the first to tackle Voxatron — a voxel-based, old-school-gone-new platform shooter. Pick up your trusty pea gun and shoot your way through more than twenty challenging areas. The included Voxde level editor grants you the ability to create mind-blowing new environments to share with the world. And, as a customer of the Humble Voxatron Debut, you’ll receive access to all of Lexaloffle’s future updates to Voxatron.

Dive into a twisted basement dungeon in The Binding of Isaac. Get ready for a delicious brew of randomly generated, Legend of Zelda-esque dungeons; Robotron-esque run-and-gun; and action-RPG progression. The recently launched Halloween update adds a ton of content — a new chapter, new bosses, new enemies, new items, a new character, a new ending, and more!

Learn new tricks with tetrominoes in Blocks That Matter. In this award-winning, charismatic, platform-puzzler mashup, you play as the Tetrobot, a plucky robotic drill that assimilates blocks of varying materials and properties, like sand, wood, stone, obsidian, iron, and diamond. After absorbing blocks, you’ll need to recreate them in various tetromino-shaped patterns to solve puzzles and traverse levels.

You can support charity. Choose exactly how your purchase is divided: between the developers, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the Child’s Play Charity. Also, if you like this deal, a tip to the Humble Bundle itself would be much appreciated!”

A nice article about the modern history of paper toys over at The Escapist.

I don't think they are sitting around playing D&D.

While not the entire teaser trailer that you can see after Captain America: The First Avenger a teaser-teaser trailer has appeared online. It is embedded after the break with a bunch of stills. Meanwhile you can download the above Captain America, Thor and, Iron Man here.

A Fail Whale parody I put together as a 3DS Error message concept.  You can see a larger version of the Fail Blooper by itself after the jump.

Super Meat Boy is now available on Xbox Live Arcade.  There are tons of levels, other characters you can be and the game is on sale until November:

“As a gift to the fans who have supported us through development, we are offering a launch sale, lowering the asking price by 33% till Nov. To my knowledge this is the 1st time that Microsoft has allowed a developer to do something like this and we are very proud to be the 1st.” – Team Meat

Don’t forget to download your favorite Meat Boy character Cubeecraft!

Congrats to Team Meat!

About Team Meat

Team Meat is a group of 2 college drop outs that simply
couldn’t hack it in the real world. They are poor,
dirty, and unhealthy but make up for it with
determination, soul and hearts so huge they basically
just roll around like that blueberry girl from
Willy Wonka.

Team Meat is a “micro team” trying to prove to the
industry that it is possible to make an amazing game
with a tiny team and still release on 4 major platforms,
without signing with a publisher or losing creative
control of your IP.

Team Meat is self funded and free to do and say what
they want and this is the way they will always stay.
They have no interest in growing as a company, getting
“real jobs” or making games with vampires or zombies
because they will sell better.

Team Meat is just 2 dudes trying to live a dream.

Sorry about the lack of updates over the last week or so, I have been super busy at my day job and super busy in my personal life (of what little there is of it these days anyway).  You may not know this but Cubeecraft is pretty much a one man show – However, rest assured there is a lot of Cubee related stuff going on behind the scenes and a slew of new stuff coming very soon.

I have gotten a ton of e-mail asking where the Scott Pilgrim Series 2 Cubees are now that Oni Press has updated their site and no longer has a download section.  We are working on making them available again soon so I should have news on that shortly.

In other SP related news I had the opportunity to attend a Scott Pilgrim event at the Apple Store in Soho early this evening featuring Edgar Wright, Michael Cera, Anna Kendrick and Jason Schwartzman. The group discussed the making of the film and showed off a few clips.  Edgar Wright described an alternate ending he did not get to shoot (which I’ve posted a description of after the break for those folks who would like to avoid spoilers.)

The event was recorded and should be available as a video podcast in a few days on iTunes so assuming it wasn’t cut you could just hold out and hear the man himself describe it.

If you absolutely can’t wait hit the jump for the alternate ending.

Scott Pilgrim is arrested for the murder of at least 7 individuals and statutory rape.

Thanks Mark!
