Oh, the humanity: The tornado in Noby Noby Boy photo

If you listen to Podtoid, and you should, you might remember me recounting my experience with a tornado in a level of Noby Noby Boy. Well, it just happened that during an innocent session with the game tonight, I came across another pair of these whirling death traps, and decided I'd share it with you this time. Hey, it's the weekend, and neither one of us has anything better to do, right?

After the jump, you'll find the horrific display of Noby Noby carnage in question, as two tornadoes violently fling Boy in circles like spaghetti caught in a radiator fan. It's pretty amusing, honestly, and it also serves as a decent example of how infuriating the camera and controls can be in this game, as I try desperately to help Boy eat his own ass in order to restore his poor severed body. The fun starts at about 1:02. Enjoy!

 
 
The best part is watching all the nosy NPCs get dragged into the mayhem along with him, and those smart enough to keep their distance being slapped to death with dismembered Boy segments anyway. The force of the tornado stretches Boy to great lengths whether you want it to or not, so it might even be considered a "cheat," or at least an easy way to score lots of length for reporting purposes with minimal effort. 
 
Or you can just watch and giggle like a madman, which is my take on it. Anybody else run into this yet?

Great, now I have to try and get to this level, just for the pure awesomeness of seeing this myself. Thanks a lot, Topher. Thanks a lot.

Best game ever.

It gets pretty boring at points when I'm fighting with the controls, so just skip around and check it out. I tried to cause as much harm and devastation as possible. :3

Yeah, I've seen the tornadoes a few times, but I've never actually gone into any. Will have to try next time...

Wow, that's far better than you described it on Podtoid, and you described it to be pretty awesome. :)

BAN THIS SICK FILTH. I won't have kids playing a game where they get hacked into pieces by a helicopter. It's also racist against the people of Noby Noby (Which I assume is some 3rd world country).

It's like, if Playschool was owned by Apple, But Apple itself was secretly controlled by Nazies... That's the sort of messed up S#&t I'm seeing right now.

I think there is a law against this sort of behavior in most countries :)

I just bought this game today...I have no clue what I purchased or why but I do know that it really mellows me out. Still trying to find a point but I'll have to continue to dig further.

I have no idea why, but this reminded me of how you could click on the helicopters in the old sim city enough times and make them explode.

I totally helped Dexter345 get his last trophy for Noby. I managed to get a moon level with the prince look-alike on them. I'm rad.

Also, totally drunk right now.

If this happened to me, I would probably flip the fuck out. The camera controls in that game make me want to throw things everywhere.
