"... Tommy and I went out that day in search of the most ridiculous sweater vests we could find, broke into Sears Photos and used their setup to take what would become our team headshots. I believe we also submitted some totally ridiculous dev bio to Nintendo that was printed in their press release alongside our photo. ..." Love this. The Meatboy team even managed to enrage 'Peta' (ultra right wing Vegans) by gaming…

Purely a semantic aside but how do you characterize PETA as "ultra right wing" in any meaningful definition of that political term?

You can follow their development story in Indie Game: The Movie. Very interesting, especially if you're new to the indie game scene.

Only watch if you can stomach Edmund McMillen coming across as a massive douche

"A massive douche"? You'll have to explain that one, because I've watched it, and he didn't appear "douchey" to me at all.

Interesting. I was just watching a documentary on Netflix about them. It was a bit depressing. I really felt for them :/

Are you sure you're not thinking of Phil Fish? That seems much more likely to me.
