Tofu Activists Spoof Meat-Based Indie Game 420

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday December 02, 2010 @04:56AM from the have-a-burger-to-celebrate dept.

Faulkner39 writes "In response to the recently released independently developed platformer Super Meat Boy, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has released a Flash-based spoof game titled Super Tofu Boy. The spoof attempts to mirror the original by featuring a protagonist made of tofu and an antagonist made of meat in a statement promoting animal rights. Ironically, however, the original game is about a human boy who is vulnerable because he lacks skin (Meat Boy), raising the question: 'is the spoof in reality really about cannibalism?'" The Super Meat Boy team posted a response on their Twitter feed.

Wii 2 Unlikely For 2011, Maybe In 2012 303

An anonymous reader writes "As discussed on Slashdot earlier this year, the lack of a next-generation Wii may be hurting Nintendo. That doesn't seem to concern the company's US chief, Reggie Fils-Aime, who said this week that a Wii 2 might not appear until 2012. He wants to sell a few million more consoles before a successor is launched. So, no Wii 2 for 2010 or 2011 — meanwhile, the PS3 and Xbox consoles get motion control support and other content enhancements. What does that mean for the success of Nintendo's gaming console business? Has the innovator been out-innovated due to a sluggish product roadmap?"

I can't believe you are living in China right now. Have you ever read any Chinese news about the HSR from Wuhan to Guangzhou, which is service already? You may have a look at the following map: http://www.thetransportpolitic.com/2009/01/12/high-speed-rail-in-china/

I'm a French guy living in China. Reading that China has the "most advanced [...] high-speed rail lines in the world" makes me jump on my chair. The HSR trains are rarely going to the announced 240 km/h top speed, most of the time, they aren't even reaching 200. China is just building it's first Shanghai to Beijing in 3:30 thanks to the French technology (to be ready later this year). It still takes 40 hours to travel from Shanghai to Wulumuqi. Exactly where is the advance here? The most advanced country in the world for train is France, with over 6 lines at 320+ km/h all over the (small) country and extending to the rest of Europe (Spain, London, Amsterdam)!

Thanks a lot for your work on NoScript. AdBlock, NoScript, and SessionSaver are the most important FF extensions for me, along with other useful ones like DOM Inspector, JavaScript Debugger, Mouse Gestures, Web Developer, IE Tab, DownThemAll, and Text Link. The rich set of extensions is the most beautiful part of FF and thank you guys for your wonderful work.
