Are any of you making levels or what? I want to see what some of you have come up with. I'm working on one right now that I think will turn out pretty sweet.

I was pissed at people crying over the levels deletion but for once I agree with them.

Wait, Azure Palace was taken down?! That's the best designed user-made level I've played since the start! Why because of a triangle missing the side of its head? Or do you think there's some dickholes running around flagging levels? Maybe some chuckleheads thought it would be funny to start flagging and Sony is just taking down the flagged ones without review.

Honestly that level was good. Even so the fundamentals of it were simple, the design of the overall thing was pretty awesome, and it was polished, unlike 99% of the levels.

If it's the pacsackman then...

I'm in the middle of making a couple serious ones, but I posted a couple joke ones that eventually got taken down. One was filled with penis shapes and you could hang/swing from the balls, and the other was a bunch of blocks that spelled out CONGRATULATIONS FAGGOT

both of them got deleted

damn I would have Hearted that.

Yeah, I played one level that started out with you standing on top of a giant sailor moon, and segued into crudely drawn shapes having sex with each other.

Man I can't wait to get this game as a reward to myself after exams are over. I was one of those nerds that doodled mario levels as a kid so this sort of thing is extremely appealing to me in a nostalgic sense.

Hey, not to drag this out of Page 4, but I figured it's better than starting a new thread about an old thread, yeah?

Anyone get the Metal Gear Solid add-on, or have any major news to share? Levels created, etc.
Also, Mm isn't releasing any DLC this thursday, so instead they unleashed this letter (as reproduced on this thread):

We know you guys have been looking forward to the next batch of downloadable content which was due to launch this Thursday, 22 January. Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to release what we had planned at this time, so the wait is going to be just a little longer before the new year's content updates start to arrive. In order to make up for this disappointment, we thought you might like to see all the new content we've got lined up to come out between next week and the end of February, so hold on to your hats as there's quite a bit!

Seasonal content
To get the new year started in the right way we've got matching Sackboy and Sackgirl Chinese New Year outfits which will be available for free next week to help you celebrate the year of the Ox. At the same time you can also dress up as the world famous Groundhog in a bid to predict the length of winter. When February rolls around you'll have no excuse for forgetting to buy a card as we release a special Valentine's Day pack containing 12 stickers and some themed costume pieces for your Sackperson. Each of these downloads will be available for a limited time, so grab them while they're hot!

God of War Costumes and Stickers
If you missed out on the pre-order offers to get hold of Kratos and the God of War content pack here's another chance to get hold of an all time classic Sackboy costume. Inside the pack you'll find Medusa and Minotaur costumes and a bunch of themed stickers to help you recreate ancient Greece in your game.

Supersonic Sackboy
In February why not pick up the pace and splash out on the WipEout content pack. Containing the WipEout costume kit and plenty of stickers to add some flavour to your game this is a very cool pack indeed.

There's plenty more to come, and we'll be releasing details of upcoming content and fixes every week.

Another thing: The MGS pack unleashed the Paintinator (a paint gun) as well as health-bar-like switches, adding a new dynamic to the game. Recently I went back to read about the so-called Sequel to LBP that MediaMolecule is working on. I was originally mislead; there is no sequel. The sequel is the perpetual additions to LBP, so to keep old user created content from becoming obsolete, they're just going to keep adding onto the platform. Pretty cool! I wonder what's next.

Bought the MGS stuff because it really adds a layer to the game.

Do people actually buy that shit? COSTUMES.

Yeah, I bought 'em. The game is like the only thing I play. So instead of $15 /month for WoW or whatever it was, I spend like 2-5 on costumes... things I can use, while enjoying the free gameplay. I heard a lot of ragging on LBP's micro transactions, but they're continuously working on the game, letting us play for free... AND release free costume. Groundhog Day and Chinese New Year costumes are coming out this week for free.

I'd buy if I could, esp the MGS stuff, anything that will add even more fun elements is worth paying for. For now I'll make do with the Offical levels and vanilla LBP stuff. Still need to finish the main story, some of those levels get meeeeeeeeean.

Yeah man, forgot to say, last night I got 100%. All aces, all items, all stages... Guess what fuzzy littlebig fun thing happened. It didn't save my profile.
I love this game to death and back, but why in fucknation did MediaMolecule think it wise to NOT include a Save Game option in the menu? That's my only beef with this game. The up-side of this, is that I've mastered the Bunker level (hardest in game imo).


Alright, now I was going to post this earlier, but had to do a flight (damn airport work getting in my posting way). I've got an idea for a boss, though I'm stuck on what to do next.
Here it is:
A turtle roughly like this:

The turtle will have raising-falling spikes below him, and shoot laserballs from his mouth.

(A) -this leg would be destructable for 1-players to kill from below. It'll be tricky to get under there, because of the onslaught of laserballs.
(B) -the middle of the shell will act as another way to kill the boss, using a 4-player co-op effort. All 4 would have to jump at the same time to crush him.
(C) -the head will fire laserballs, as I said.
(D) -this leg will kill him, provided (A) is destroyed. This would be hard to reach because of the spikes. Also part of the 1-player victory.

but that's all I can think of so far. 3-player and 2-player are stumping me. Maybe it's unnecissary, and I should just make the shell top 2-player?

Any thoughts?

This is pretty cool for Xbox360 users! There's a game coming called Kodu that's another level-creation game. Looks like we have a new console genre! Shall we call this the Ultimate Sandbox genre?
I don't know much about the flexibility of Kodu, nor the graphics, I just read the article...

Also, I'd like to take this chance to brag about my 100% gift and level aces.
