Couple of things: Gears is supposedly showing as $30 according to someone on SD. I tried checking the web page for the game, but it wasn't loading properly.
And MS is well aware of the pricing issues people are having and are working to fix it.
I played this after hearing about how bad it was, having enjoyed Shattered Dimensions. Figured it couldn't be that bad given how good SD was.
That was a mistake.
I don't doubt it. It wasn't to lose weight, though - it was half coincidental. I thought I had a stomach ulcer and heard cabbage juice was a natural cure.
Stomach ulcer > cabbage juice.
Absolutely. I made this same comment after watching Indie Game: The Movie. Actually, a lot of those independent developers were pricks. One of the Super Meat Boy guys seemed kind of cool, though.
