After suffering through something similar, I will never work for a marketing deadline again. Deadlines are useful, but I have yet to see a marketing deadline live up to the promise.
It's pretty useless to say "our biggest mistake was x because it turned out to be a huge failure". I'm not interested in hearing someone say "my biggest mistake was eating vegetables every day because I ended up choking on a piece of broccoli".
Love this.
The Meatboy team even managed to enrage 'Peta' (ultra right wing Vegans) by gaming their message boards (link below). Enraged Peta put out their own version of Meat Boy, "Tofu Boy" ~ http://features.peta.org/super-meat-boy-parody/meet.aspx So meatboy team put out unlockable 'Tofu boy' character ~ http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2010/12/02/super-meat-boy-hon... The playfulness in this game is addictive and you can see this in the creators.
It's a great documentary!
