Fine then. Should I make an '___ asks' topic instead?

* Emerl shot

No.  You have nothing worthwhile to contribute.

Edit: Why am I still posting in 'Ask ___' threads?

You can't tear yourself away from me.

What level of awesomeness do I have?

You have earned my respect (in gaming at least), which elevates you to Grade 3 Awesome.

If I fused with you to combine my awesomeness with your awesomeness, what would happen?

Obama++, with the ability to pwn at 2D and 3D Sonic.

Why do I sometimes subconsciously sing those awesome 25-minute japanese medleys?

Your perverse subconscious finds them catchy.  On the plus side it can obviously take in loads of info if it's multiple long medleys.

This topic is full of win and lulz.

Unrelatedly, why did this 'Ask ___' fad begin anyway?

Magnum started it.

Also, Should I make an 'Ask ___' topic too?

No, you should ask me questions, for that is the path to wisdom.

Also, What is your secret weakness?

I have no secret weakness.  Some of my non-secret ones are: I'm very allergic to ibuprofen and asprin (as in two of either would probably hospitalise me); vodka makes me ill due to a bad experience (everyone seems to have one drink this is true of); as we saw in the marathon, I can't play S3&K; 3D Sonic makes me sad; I cannot get up at a sensible time in the morning unless the F1 is on; and I'd rather be right than happy.

Also, Is iji (www.remar.se/daniel/iji.php) awesome?

It may find itself elevated to the status of awesome if I play it.  In general I like and respect indie games, so it's got a good shot.  On the other hand that requires some free time, so don't expect it soon.

Also, why am I posting in an 'Ask ___' topic when I secretly vowed not to?

You can't keep away from my Field of Awesome.  It's like gravity, only with pwnage instead of mass.

Also, should I waste my time by getting back in the TSC chat?

Yes.  RPG's not around so the average IQ is running a little high.

And in regards to the 3rd and 5th question,

* Emerl binds douglas to truthfulness via machinegun connected to lie detector

You realise, of course, that polygraphs only detect stress, need calibrated/interpreted by actual peoples, and aren't 100% accurate?

* douglas has just ruined the premise of every daytime chat show on the planet

Can I submit my Sky Chase Subgame scores gotten with Tails on SA(DX) into a Sonic chart?

No.

IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE OF DOUGLAS'S WRONGNESS

ALL PREVIOUS RESPONSES ARE NOW NULL AND VOID

I CAN SAY THIS CAUSE I'M ADMIN AND THEREFORE COOLER THAN YOU BY DEFAULT

I never said he couldn't because of TSC rules, noobcake.  'Can I' could be interpreted as a request for my permission rather than a request on the nature of the fundamental restrictions of reality.  For instance, he could have asked "Can I submit BS stats?" and both "Yes, but you'll be banhammered" and "No" are valid answers depending on the interpretation of the question.  In this case, an answer with respect to fundamental truth and the consequences thereof would be "Yes, but you will incur my displeasure for playing SA:DX in the first place".

This is a problem generally; human language is too riddled with such ambiguity to allow efficient communication of my infinite wisdom to you mere mortals, and you're not capable of understanding my perfect language.  We do the best with what we have.

You're not.  You're higher in the charts because of Affirmative Action.

Why is it that you believe you are always right?

Because I am.

Give me SCIENTIFIC PROOF you are always right >:O

Science cannot definitively prove a proposition, as you should know; there is however an obvious null hypothesis (give an instance of my being wrong) and there is a weight of evidence supporting the hypothesis (occasions where I have been right), and therefore it is reasonable to conclude in favour of the hypothesis, shifting the burden of proof onto any who claim the opposite.

What game do you recommend me?

Baldur's Gate 2, Half Life 2, Ocarina of Time and Sonic 2 are all classics; more recent worthwhile titles are Fallout 3 (ignore the storyline though), World Of Goo, Bioshock and MGS4  (only really applicable for series fans though).

Q4: First you'd have to take out both of my Bane Blades (super heavy tanks the size of two-three large houses) and their body guard of 10 Leman Russes (tanks similar to WW2 ones). That assuming they don't get out flanked by several squads of Sentinels (mechs similar to AT-STs with a special rule in which they can come out of reserve and deploy at either side of the table depending on the roll of the dice. There's also the Grey Knights, who are 8-9 foot tall super soldiers with giant double barrleled uzis strapped to their arms and blessed weapons (either glaives or swords) that augment their strength to the point where they are every bit as strong physically as a large demon. Some come in terminator armor (super heavy suits of armor that can make a guy take a normal tank shell to the face and laugh at it) who are lead by guys who can transmit psychic power through their weapons, causing their enemies heads to explode from a mere nick. Have fun trying. <3

I loved playing as Orks against Imperial types who thought Armour solved all problems; bazillions of tankbusta-equipped infantries ftw :D

Competition Central / Re: About Sonic Unleashed...

« on: January 15, 2009, 02:09:08 pm »

Let's do the same about zipping in the early Sonic games and everything that involves glitching.

I thought speed runs were about skillfully going through the levels, not who can walk through the walls the best.

You're skillfully maneuvering out of bounds and skillfully going through the walls.

So in other words, you guys decide what kind of glitching/tricks/etc. is ok and what isn't.

As a rule of thumb, if there's still valid competition then a glitch isn't banned.  At the point where the wall glitch means everyone can easily get the same score, there'll be a case for banning it, but as long as there's still variation involved it's likely to stay.

Well douglas, you have to remember Miles is competing, who's the current SDA record holder. I think we may also have stanski on board, whose record speaks for itself. The first two games aren't going to be a cakewalk :P

I'm very well aware of that and fully expect to be destroyed everywhere; my point merely was that I'm going to suck sufficiently badly at S3&K that to be anywhere I have to be out front to start with and as such I have to attack S1 and S2 hard (although a slow-and-steady don't-GO-at-any-cost approach might actually bring me back into play . . . hmm, what to do . . .).

I'm now intrigued; having done a couple of playthroughs I'm fairly sure I'm not going to GO in S1 or S2, so I'll be going on the attack in them, but S3&K is a minefield for me so I'll be easing off and taking bonus stages for life spam.  If I'm not ahead at the end of S1, and in the top 3 by the end of S2, you can comprehensively count me out.

Proposal: a 10/7/4/2/1 sitewide point bonus for the top 4 places and finishing the race.

Doug is not pro this plan (despite it giving him 10 points for sure >_>); sitewides should be about our core competition, it excludes people unable to compete, more party pooping reasons, etc.  How about custom awards?  They seem the ideal way to recognise this, and then you can extend the principle to all sorts of extra-curricular activities.  Maybe some custom siggy photoshopness too?
