Made it all the way up to Owl, and I'm way more invested in this than I've ever been in a game, from a pure gameplay point of view anyway. I've never been interested in masocore games, but something in this clicks with me. It's a challenge that I actually feel the need to overcome.

Any other bombers try it out yet?

i haven't tried it myself but remember all the people on /v/ saying that tigger is impossible to beat

*clicks link, sees Pooh swinging a bat* God, I hope this means what I think it means.

This game is about Winnie the Pooh proving that bats are better than knives?

@connerthekewlkid: Word. Owl's giving me the business.

So is that why he always loses?

Wait a second. Does this game have leveling? I've just been clicking through that screen...

yeah it has upgrades and theres an english version if ya want http://www.baseballgames.org/baseball/winniethepoohhomerunderby.php

Leveled up Pooh is a game changer. Still stuck on Owl, though.

i was hoping someone would post that @familyphotoshoot said:

Curse you! Now I can't stop playing. My farthest hit has been 142.1m. Has anyone beat 150m yet?

Edit: Upgrades you say? Don't mind if I do!

i just cant beat tigger for the life of me :"[

That was pretty fun, especially once I started using the shadows of the bat and ball. Made the first few stages really easy.

Now I'm just using it to test how much of this I can actually read, i.e. not a whole lot.

@Video_Game_King: did you have do Google search "tigger with knife" or did you do that yourself?

@connerthekewlkid:

I didn't even think to search for it. Let's see what happens when I do:

@Video_Game_King: thats... just amazing

An excellent idea has just occurred to me: mod this game so that instead of Piglet or Eeyore throwing a ball your way, they're rushing at you with a knife, and you have to hit them in their weak point with the bat if you want to survive. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

im sure there's some half life mod out there

focus on the shadows...

@RenMcKormack:

If somebody told me last year that my first game obsession of 2013 would be... this... I'd have chortled heartily at them.

Edit: Oh, fuck you, Owl.

URL of the year so far.

Just got 17/19 on Owl. One more run and I'm going to sleep.

I'm just going to throw this out there... this is "Thread of the Year" material.

12/19 with 12 balls left. Lose 14/19. FUCKING OWL.

EDIT:

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to play. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for Owl at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.

18 OUT OF FUCKING 19. SUCK MY DICK, OWL.

SUCK MY COLD, FLACCID COCK.

what is this

literally my first try. What's so hard?

I was excited for it before it got popular on fucking Reddit and Kotaku. When it was just a bunch of dudes on a stream cheering for some crazy guy high on Redbull. Fuck those guys for ruining my fun. Yes I am a Winnie the Pooh hipster.

That's like walking out of a movie after the opening credits and saying "I don't see what all the hype was about".

I was gonna bitch about how I found beating Eeyore hard, but then I realised I didn't have a clue about how to spell it.

Edit: Still can't beat him.

Stuck on the owl. Need a perfect combination of skill and luck to make this happen. What's after the owl? I'm curious.

MAN, FUCK YOU OWL.

This is the flash game made of nightmares. On the other hand, the number of amazing photoshops and stuff that have come out of it are well worth the pain.

Yeah, you sound like kind of a dick. The obscurity of the things you like, as if you personally found them, should not give you a hard-on.

I know you're somewhat joking, but I still felt like saying it.

Yep so much hidden depth in there. Hit the ball with no real indication of what the timing should be.

I got a home run!

GOTY 2013.

Try Ecco The Dolphin: Defender of the Future. I maintain that is one of the hardest games ever made.

This game is F-ing me in the A real hard.

I don't get it.

TIGGER?!?! WTF!!

Fuck Owl..

I made it to Tigger. I'm now convinced that the developers knew exactly what they were doing. They never had any intention of making a simple flash game for kids. This fucking game has an upgrade system. The pitches are totally fucked on an intellectual level. You can't make something this hard on accident.

I think this is also my Spec Ops: The Line, in addition to my Dark Souls. After journeying to the pits of hell, the line between man and monster is impossible to distinguish. What is a ball? What is a base? None of this matters. All that is left is for me to become one with the monsters that I once feared.

I am Pooh. I am reckoning.

Well, you're wasting your time because replying to my comments, as if I'm going to change how I think, shouldn't give you a hard-on.
