If you’re not familiar with Edmund McMillen’s work, playGishandMeat Boy. Once you’re finished with those (in, let’s say, a week) you may findTime Fcuk, McMillen’s most recent game, worth your time.

It’s the story of a man whose future self implores him to climb into a cardboard box, whereupon he can travel between two temporal dimensions and has to deal with a sentient boil growing on his back.
