Gaming and Grazing / I want to buy a game!

Wikkity! / NEED INFOS FOR TSC COMIC

« on: September 20, 2008, 06:34:32 am »

Since a lot of people still need a design and I am too lazy to collect all the needed info from hundreds of threads and chatlogs, post them here if you want to be in the comic. >:O
Unless you're Rolken, GS, Da1, Cherry, CF, Sondow, GS, SM, bertin, eggFL, Taco or RPG because I already have designs for these. And ideas for a few others but nothing finalised.

Useful would be pics, fancharacters (ugh, if any), favourite game/film/series, favourite character (from anything ever) and general stuff that you think could be useful.

Also Maths today was easy, lol.

General Sonic / Sonic & The Black Knight. Wait, what?!

« on: July 19, 2008, 04:42:37 pm »

What.

WHAT.

I have to say while that render does look badass, giving Sonic a weapon of whatever kind is so damn out of character it's not even funny anymore. HE'S NATURE. HE FIGHTS WITH ONLY HIS BODY. DAMMIT.

General Sonic / Sonic and the Secret Rins

« on: July 07, 2008, 11:38:07 am »

So I saw it in a shop today, for 20€. I decided to give it a try and picked it up.
Skipping the Dutch & French manual, I played up until the... 5th mission of Sand Oasis now. And must say, I'm quite unimpressed to say the least. The music is awful, the controls bad and the constant running forward seems stupid too, just as the mission-based gameplay. I've nothing against bonus missions for replay value, but please not as a part of the main game.

But, I won't judge it until I've beaten it, maybe it gets better later on.

Wikkity! / ITT PPA is not a furry

My client, P.P.A., has been accused of being a member of the furry fandom multiple times. These accusations are false and are to be withdrawn unless the prosecution delivers indisputable proof for P.P.A. being a furry.

General Sonic / Deep philosophical meanings? In my Sonic? It's more likely than you think!

« on: April 09, 2008, 12:19:55 pm »

It was not until today that I finally realised the deeper philosophical meaning of Sonic (1, CD, 2 maybe). The games weren't just based on a blue little hedgehog fighting against some evil old man trying to enslave the world. No, they represent nature's struggle against the threat of human technology. Sonic, the healthy, nature-loving, naked animal, fighting with only his body against Dr. Robotnik, the ruthless, degenerated human with his army of machines, striving to make the world his own technological utopia. Just like we humans continue to develop new technologies without actually being able to handle them and only get weaker and weaker from not living like God/nature created us to, instead becoming lazy, developing allergies and the likes because we're not used to living any more. Today's civilisation even encourages this lazy/unhealthy way of life, with most well-paid jobs nowadays not really requiring physical work and the little effort we'd have to put in out everyday lives being taken away by machines. And thus we only continue to destroy the environment (ab)using our superior intelligence to destroy (just like the villainous doctor) and create our own sterile world. To the point where we all become little Eggmen, fat, degenerated, constantly sitting in some vehicle and not actually doing anything ourselves any more. (I'm ignoring the fact here that Dr. Robotnik can run just as fast as Sonic. >_>)
Technology is developing too fast for humans to keep up with it and use it wisely. Sonic however is fast. He, the nature, keeps up with the technology and stops it from taking over and destroying the Earth.
But there is no Sonic in real life. :/

However this deep aspect of Sonic has unfortunately completely disappeared nowadays. All of the old developers are gone, and it seems none of the people who make the new Sonic games have gotten this true point of the Sonic/Robotnik battle. Instead stories just as big and complex as meaningless and shallow are created, filled with soulless characters and villains with Eggman having long lost his role as the main enemy.

Sorry if I'm extremely late to realise this and I'm only stating the obvious.

For Sondow, he wanted a picture of one when he returns from Disneyland. However since I might not be on then I just uploaded it now and am posting it on the forums now. >:O
Also this is the old keyboard that I think is still from our old Windows 95 PC that got trashed ages ago yet the keyboard is still in use.

General Sonic / Is the Blaze from Sonic Rush the Blaze from Sonic 06?

« on: March 21, 2008, 05:45:46 pm »

EDIT: YES I KNOW SPOILER TAGS DON'T WORK HERE BUT I COPYPASTED THIS FROM ANOTHER FORUM WHERE I ORIGINALLY POSTED THIS THREAD AND AM TOO LAZY TO REMOVE THEM
Yeah, that's been bothering me for a while now. I haven't played Rush or its sequel yet (shame on me, I really should buy them one day), but from what I know Blaze in those games is a princess from an alternate dimension, guardian of the Sol Emeralds, anti-social, and was teased throughout her childhood because of her fiery powers.
Now, let's compare how this is compatible with her role in Sonic 06/Next/whatever you call it!
Her character seems to be similar, as she rarely speaks. However due to that her character is also a little hard to judge, especially since she doesn't really appear that often.
She's not from all alternate dimension in this game but from the faraway (a few centuries if I recall correctly) future of Sonic's world. However in Silver's ending, [spoiler]she gets sealed into a different dimension[/spoiler], which could be the dimension she resides in in the Rush games. While at the end of the Last Story [spoiler]all the events of the game are freaking undone and never happen[/spoiler], there are a few indicators that she might have not been affected by this: [spoiler]Elise only erases Solaris from every time line in their world, but there's no mention of different dimensions.[/spoiler] Also [spoiler]When time and space collapse after Mephiles unites with Iblis, Silver is reunited with the others despite last being seen in the future. However Blaze is still missing - as it seems she was unaffected by the collapse, maybe she was also unaffected by the deletion of the events of the game?[/spoiler]
Now, while I don't recall her being a princess or queen in S06, the fact that she could [spoiler]seal Iblis inside her body just like Princess Elise[/spoiler] does imply her being of royalty.
Her being mocked for her abilities also seems rather likely actually, as since the world was destroyed by Iblis (the "flames of disaster") the few survivors might be afraid of her because they think her fire powers are somehow related to Iblis. So explicitly showing that fear/hate towards her by teasing and outcasting her or something similar only seems likely.
As for the Sol Emeralds I have no explanation, but who knows what happened after Blaze arrived in that other dimension.

Why is the Egg Carrier adventure field BGM so awesome? It's gotta be one of the best tracks in the game!

General Sonic / SONIC IS A DIRTY THIEF

« on: March 09, 2008, 04:33:56 pm »

In Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic and Tails take the Emeralds from Fang who has rightfully found them.
I do not remember any talk of him using some illegal methods to get them, or any evil intentions (apart from simple greed) in either the manual or the game (which has no dialogue anyway). Ergo them taking his Emeralds is not justifiable and simple robbery.

AND YOU THOUGHT YOU'D PLAY THE GOOD ONES ALL THE TIME HA

« on: March 05, 2008, 01:21:08 pm »

This cold is making me... tired. Half the day I walk around as a zombie. Heck, I'm too sleepy to watch TV! In the morning I'm awake and stuff and cheery but shortly into the afternoon my brain seems to go into standby mode and I only get 1/3 of the stuff that's going on and generally feel like someone had woken me up in the middle of the night. Even an afternoon nap didn't help (and I usually NEVER sleep at day)!
Also I'm still coughing. But my nose is somewhat free, hooray.

Is anyone else here punished with a cold these days?

Beef / Sonic R again

« on: February 26, 2008, 01:29:13 pm »

Continued from http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?topic=3155.0

I know I already made such a thread a while ago with little success, however the recent events in Sonic R competition make another discussion on this topic necessary. After Etch's discovery, there are now 2+ courses that require breaking out of bounds for insanely low lap times to be competitive. Resort Island and Radical City in all modes and Regal Ruin and Radiant Emerald in reverse time attack. Seeing how the game only has 5 courses playable in 4 modes each, HALF THE GAME is already broken.

Some will now say that even though these glitches are pretty crazy, they're still not game-breaking, there's skill required to pull them off and still leave space for competition. Why yes, I cannot deny that. I have a few counter arguments though. For once, playing with those glitches is not fun anymore. It's a chore. Groudon plans on stopping to compete, Kmacc has expressed numerous times how he is totally contra all this stuff and I struggle to get back into the game with such freaky grameplay awaiting me. Of course, fun is, especially at TSC's level of skill, not an argument (even though I am convinced a lot of people still enjoy competing in the games they like). Now another thing is that this way of playing Sonic R is far removed from the intended gameplay. Okay, a lot of players (of all games) here use techniques that the developers would have never thought of, but still, I'd consider this problem here to be a lot more weighty than other glitch exploits. My last point would be how similar glitches in other games are handled: I remember this glitch in SA2 for Rouge's or Tails' highway stages I think, that through some exploit allowed you to get times of a few seconds. This one, to my knowledge is banned - why not these here too then? These cases aren't that different, are they?
Or let's take a look at mariokart64.com, the biggest Mario Kart competition site. Of course, this isn't TSC - but it's about funracers, and I think Sonic R is more similar to Mario Kart in gameplay than to for example Sonic Triple Trouble or Sonic Heroes (well no surprise, it is a racer after all). Anyway, mariokart64.com has split charts for runs using shortcuts and ones without them. Shortcuts being defined as breaking out of bounds (or jumping over them), utilizing Lakitu to carry the player further or skipping entire laps - in short, things the developers didn't implement on purpose/tried to stop the player from doing. While some of said "shortcuts" seem a bit too minor to me to forbid, overall I support this action for the reasons stated further above.

Now, my suggestions for a solution would be:

Ban of the techniques in question
Separate charts for hax and non-hax
Ban of said techniques, but addition of freestyle charts that allow them
Let them slip, but add freestyle charts where they're disallowed

Wikkity! / I have a dream.

« on: February 16, 2008, 10:37:55 am »

I had a weird dream last night.
I decided to live as a homeless for a day. Together with Harald Schmidt (a German comedian).
Things I remember from the dream:

I found a Master System game with animated sex scenes (2D and pixellated of course).
In a beautiful forest I discovered that tilting the control stick back then forth in rapid succession makes you jump without spinning (I suddenly was Sonic for some reason).
At the end, 18:00 in-dream time, we were flown away in an helicopter by ninjas serving Harald Schmidt. (I was back in human form, no longer Sonic.)

General Sonic / Glitch?

I was playing Sonic 3 & Knuckles as Knuckles. Died 2 times at the Mushroom Hill Zone boss (I just can't get used to how slow Knux is), but the third time Dr. Robotnik popped out of the ground instead of Eggrobo and it was him whom I fought. Wtf.

You can use savestates to save at any time. Also I assume this also applies for Sonic 2 live but I don't have/want that.

Statistics are taken from the time the timer stops. This is usually when the signpost, goal ring or the capsule is hit, though in some levels it may apply to other events, eg. in Wing Fortress, time is taken from when the screen fades out. Scores are taken after all the relevant act bonuses are added.

Hur hur signpost, goal ring, capsule and Wing Fortress Zone.

Quote

Using any method to reset the timer to zero in the middle of a level is not allowed.

Well that would be pretty stupid as 0 is like the worst time you can get.

Quote

Unofficial emulators that do no replicate correctly the original gameplay are not allowed. This currently spans DS, Dreamcast and any newer non portable consoles, and more.

Hur hur Mario on Dreamcast.

Quote

For ring stats, you may not collect the same ring(s) more than once.

Hur hur rings.

Wii Virtual Console remake

It's not a remake, it's just emulated.

PAL versions
I'll check the timers of my SMAS version to see if SMW is not the only game affected. Also I could check SMB NES but I'm too lazy to connect the thing.
And this point needs a better solution. Banning everyone from Australia and Europe isn't really pleasing.

« on: January 09, 2008, 12:54:10 pm »

Okay, so I beat it a few days ago with 120 stars and was very disappointed. Only 3 or 4 missions in this game managed to be at least the slightest bit of a challenge, the rest of the game was so easy it's not even fun anymore! You aren't satisfied after beating a mission that's about as easy as going for a walk, it lacks a sense of accomplishment.
The best mission I think was they Toy Box' purple coins one. It was hard, a lot of fun and I was filled with joy both while attempting it and after beating it. Too bad most other levels aren't even 1/2 as tough or fun. No thanks, I'll stay with my beloved Super Mario Sunshine. Fail, Nintendo. Fail.
Also the camera sucks. Controls are good though.

Competition Central / Sonic 06 gems and how broken they are

So I heard in the chat that none of the gems are banned for competition. Does that mean most of the current Sonic records abuse the red gem to halve the time?

Gaming and Grazing / Why do people hate Sunshine so much?

« on: December 09, 2007, 05:05:54 am »

In my opinion, Super Mario Sunshine is superior to SM64 in almost every way. The controls are smoother, the graphics are better, the level design is fantastic and everything is more charming. And I love those surreal, hard-as-nails platform levels.

Sure, Super Mario 64 was the game that defined 3D platformers. But it didn't really age well. Why people keep praising it over Sunshine is a mystery to me.

Also I still have to buy UR MR GAY. :(
