super meat boy and doom tidbit

Apparently Super Meat Boy's "Enter the Unknown" uses Doom named difficulty levels.

Super Meat Boy... I bought the game for PC and even though my PC can run Oblivion... Super Meat Boy runs horribly slow and the controls are delayed so I can't get past a few levels in :-( Makes me sad.

Blatent copyright(?) infringement or the developer(s) is/are Doom fans?

They're Doom fans. Minecraft has the phrase Phobos Anomaly on occassion when you start it.

I'm sure you can't copyright words in a menu.

Really? hmm

That game has a lot of parody. Ninja Gaiden too. But parody is legal, while the menu thing is just theivery.

I don' think anything will come of it. I'd hope not anyway. Doom has always been a franchise where it's creators aren't trying to ostracize it's fans.

It'd be kind of hypocritical if id went after these guys for using these, considering "Ultra-Violence" comes from A Clockwork Orange.
