Line Rider does Mario Bros.

This is one of those things that's hard to enjoy because the entire time you are watching it the only thought in your head is "who the hell has this much free time??"

This totally needs to be tagged as too_much_free_time

I didn't think that. I thought "why the hell didn't he go down the damn tube or at least get the hidden 1up?"

So is there an option to make purely decorative lines then? Otherwise how is it done?

The new version allows decorative lines and has acceleration lines. It took all the fun out of it for me.

I have so little time that I actually had to travel back in time to make this comment about how little time I have!

i've actually tried linerunner (on recommendation from the 11-yr-old neighbor) and it takes inordinate amounts of free time! i gave up after about 2 days of work on my run and it does friggin' nothing!

"I thought 'why the hell didn't he go down the damn tube or at least get the hidden 1up?'"

Yeah, and at least one of the blocks he hit should've had a mushroom/fireflower in it.

By the way, how can one have "too much" free time? Doesn't everyone have the same number of hours in their day? I thought it was up to the person how they spent them.

I also don't really like what people are getting at when they say, "You have too much free time." If I'm using my time as I see fit and not hurting anyone, what's with the judgment? I think "You have too much free time" really just means "Why aren't you spending your time doing the things I like to do?"

Which is not to say the things I do in my free time are interesting or worth the time it takes to do them.

See also. That one has enemies, too, which I thought was cute. Although of course they don't move.
