Ask Doctor Robotnik!

[Polizzi]

Are you my mother?

[Sheik]

Will you ever create a perpetual motion machine capable of powering generators when you rule so You would not have to use chaos drives in every city, and you can siphon off the whole supply to your magnificent Statue with LED lights on the eyes depicting your mood?

Will you even care?

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

(1) What is x^y if x is your favourite number and ^y is the amount of times that you got hit in the head by something?
(2) What is your favourite song?
(3) Is there anything more annoying than Sonic or Shadow?
(4) Where is your family?
(5) Why are you called "Eggman?"
(6) Have you ever thought of making something that will make you just as fast, if not faster, than Sonic?
(7) Who was your last prisoner(s) and why?
(8) What would you do if you were chased by the living dead because you stole an artifact?
(9) Did you ever get an injury caused by food?
(10) What is the hardest thing you can break one-handed without using a machine?
(11) How agile are you?
(12) How many of Sonic's friends have annoyed you? And who are they?
(13) What is your home's name?
(14) Do you know anything of a "Möbius strip?"
(15) How many times have you managed to temporarily succeed in one of your plans, even if it lasted only an hour?

1 - then... what? You give me two random variables and no real motivation to calculate anything with them.
2 - E.G.G.M.A.N.
3 - Sonic, yes. Shadow, no.
4 - Mostly dead or in quiet retirement. I try not to bother them.
5 - ...really?

Okay, look carefully at the next image.


Now figure it out!

6 - Naturally. Sadly, out-pacing Sonic is technically possible, but not while carrying the weapons systems required to actually stop Sonic.
7 - Let's see... That would be Tails. He was caught on routine patrol, but got freed before anything useful could even be considered.
8 - I would get into the Eggmobile and reduced said living dead to pulp. I'm not an idiot.
9 - Other than once nearly choking on a pickle, no. Mind you, it's embarrassing as hell to have one of your bots rush in and try to dislodge a piece of food by slapping you on the back until you can get your breath back.
10 - You'd be surprised. Of course, some of the games chronicling my strength are overplaying things a bit. (In Sonic Riders, they managed to make me able to punch BUSES out of the way, for example. Might be overdoing it there.)
11 - Really quite agile, actually. You have to be if you want to be able to speedily switch plans and tracks at a moment's notice because a certain Hedgehog keeps scuttling your plans.
12 - Practically all of them, really. It happens when they directly manage to stop me. There's Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Shadow, Big, Vector, Charmy, Espio, Rouge, and so on and so bloody forth. Far too many of the gits. None of them quite as efficient as the hedgehog, of course, and easily defeated should it prove necessary.
13 - The Egg Carrier.
14 - That it's technically a one-sided piece of paper and features in a ridiculously large number of theoretical calculations. Including a few of mine, come to think of it.
15 - A few times. I would consider Unleashed to be a success, for example. While eventually defeated, I did get Eggmanland built and online for a short while.

How long did it take to make all your money?
Do you have more money than Bill Gates?
Do you pay high taxes?
Will you write a book about your experiences fighting Sonic, or do you feel the games are enough?
Have you ever put random codes into a game just to see its effects?
How does Sonic keep winning?
What do you think is going to be the next step in gaming?

- Long.
- Realistically, yes. However, it's spread among many sources to ensure it doesn't get traced to me, so I'll stay off the 'world's richest' lists.
- Not immensely.
- The games suffice, for now.
- Super-genius. Codes are easily deduced. I have no need to randomly put in codes,
- I call it the Chaos factor. Sonic is a completely unpredictable variable, making him incredibly difficult to fight. Of course, he's also incredibly fast and an immensely skilled combatant, which helps.
- I have no idea. I hope it's the phasing out of motion-sensor tech though.

Are you my mother?

....................wot.

Will you ever create a perpetual motion machine capable of powering generators when you rule so You would not have to use chaos drives in every city, and you can siphon off the whole supply to your magnificent Statue with LED lights on the eyes depicting your mood?

Will you even care?

- Nnnnnnno. Perpetual motion is really impossible. And a statue like that would just be gaudy.
- Care about what?

[Shane]

1 - then... what? You give me two random variables and no real motivation to calculate anything with them.

That's because I am the definition of random.

5 - ...really?

Okay, look carefully at the next image.


Now figure it out!

...
Uh...
(a) He's shaped like an egg?

9 - Other than once nearly choking on a pickle, no. Mind you, it's embarrassing as hell to have one of your bots rush in and try to dislodge a piece of food by slapping you on the back until you can get your breath back.

Heh. A pizza monster attacked me once.
I almost didn't survive...
Here's proof!

Spoiler warning:

(b) How many times have you tried to capture Sonic by tricking him with chilli-dogs?

10 - You'd be surprised. Of course, some of the games chronicling my strength are overplaying things a bit. (In Sonic Riders, they managed to make me able to punch BUSES out of the way, for example. Might be overdoing it there.)

Eh, I only have the demo version of Sonic Riders. So I wouldn't know about punching buses out of the way
Only Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Jet, Wave, Storm, E-10000G and E-10000R...
(c) Did you build those last two?

11 - Really quite agile, actually. You have to be if you want to be able to speedily switch plans and tracks at a moment's notice because a certain Hedgehog keeps scuttling your plans.

One Blue Anthropomorphic Sonic the Hedgehog is enough. If he somehow could make clones of himself you wouldn't stand a chance...

12 - Practically all of them, really. It happens when they directly manage to stop me. There's Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Shadow, Big, Vector, Charmy, Espio, Rouge, and so on and so bloody forth. Far too many of the gits. None of them quite as efficient as the hedgehog, of course, and easily defeated should it prove necessary.

You just need to hope that they don't become more.

I hate that hedgehog!

(1) Do you always say that when said hedgehog beats you?
(2) Theoretically (is it spelled correctly?), if you had to make anything from any video game real, what would it be?
(3) If you had to choose any element that ancient philosophers considered elements, what would it be? (fire, water, earth, wind)
(4) What is the definition of "shipwrecksauce?"
(5) What is your favourite food?

(6) What is this?

Spoiler warning:

(7) Have you ever thought of combining some of your robots?

A - Oh well done. I can see the potential for scientific genius in you.
B - Never. Contrary to what some believe, Sonic isn't that much of an utter idiot. In other dimensions it might work. Not this one.
C - Yep. Built them for the race track especially, but I decided to get some race time of my own in.
1 - Nope. Catchphrase of another dimensional counterpart. I won't deny that I've said it on occasion, but I don't shout it all the time.
2 - Theoretically is spelled correctly, and I'm not sure. Possibly a full set of magic from the most powerful mages in the most magical game around. Would help.
3 - I have to choose? Considering the ancient elements, I'm using all four. Just like everyone and everything else. I suppose I'll go with fire then, given that it does have a fair few uses.
4 - ......'shipwrecksauce'. Really. Somehow I doubt I'll be able to find this one in the Oxford English Dictionary, so I don't think I'll bother.
5 - Stew.
6 - A furry monster from a fairly poor anime series and a reasonably decent game series. If memory serves, it's called a "pikachu".
7 - On occasion. Usually those hybrids are wildly unsuccessful.
8 - The celestial vaults.
9 - Counfounding set of branching corridors.
10 - Several hundred. I speak about four.
11 - Nope. I do have dimensional counterparts. Some annoy me to no end, of course.
12 - As I've explained numerous times already in this thread, I do not breach dimensional boundaries. I can observe them, yes. Traveling to them, no. Causing instability in these boundaries could cause them to fail entirely, which would lead to the destruction of ANY dimension adjacent to said boundary. I want to conquer a world, not cause a multi-universal apocalypse, thanks ever so much.
13 - The very very cold kind.
14 - The Chaos Emeralds, that's 7. The Master Emerald makes 8. Then there's the literal dozens of ancient magical swords, ruins, golems, and so on and so forth. Several hundred, all tallied up.
15 - I wouldn't use them personally, but they work well enough in Kingdom Hearts.
16 - I don't see why I should.
17 - Hrmmmm... Difficult to say. I think the prize would go to E-102 Gamma. Treasonous though he turned out to be, his free will and ability to formulate his own decisions were impressive, to say the least. I respect him for being willing to choose, even if he chose against me.
18 - ..................................what.
19 - The attempted murder of my family by GUN sort of leaps to mind.
20 - Nope. Oh, hang on, isn't that where a Black Emerald is stored, a counterpart to the Chaos Emeralds? Yeah, thought so.
21 - I'm a master scientist. I don't have to choose.
22 - A fairly boring silvery metal. Element Rb.
23 - A newly discovered element. Well, newly discovered by the rest of the world, the backwards buffoons.
24 - Well, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. For one, while the Egg Fleet is persistently hampered by Sonic's efforts, nobody else ever managed to slow it down. Alternately, I can go for the personal touch and just knock on your front door in my Egg Dragoon II. Although 'knocking' would be taking the term a bit loosely. I'd just blast the front of your house clean off.
25 - Feel free. I don't hold the monopoly on trying to take things captive. The consequences are yours to suffer as well, of course. Capture Sonic, and you'll have Amy stoving in your skull with a hammer if she reaches you before Sonic inevitably escapes.
26 - One billionth of a second. I.e. none. There is no way to fit a second into a nanosecond.
27 - Never having heard the name before, I decided to run a quick search on it. A character from Grandia, apparently, so my guess as to where he is would be the world in which that game plays.
28 - Why on earth would I hate squirrels?
29 - When Armageddon starts, for one.
30 - Doing what? I've encountered many glitches during my life, but I can hardly tell you about them if you refuse to be specific.

Have you ever had a full head of hair?

- What do you mean 'ever had'? Do you not see the mustache?
- Showing me an image of a book cover with the same question as last time doesn't make me answer the question. But I'll give you a hint. My nickname is EggMAN. Not Eggwoman. Now see if you can figure it out!

[Shane]

C - Yep. Built them for the race track especially, but I decided to get some race time of my own in.

(1) E-10000R is orientated on speed whilst E-10000G focuses on power, right?
I have to re-unlock them in Sonic Riders.

1 - Nope. Catchphrase of another dimensional counterpart. I won't deny that I've said it on occasion, but I don't shout it all the time.

(2) So what is your catchprase in this dimension?

4 - ......'shipwrecksauce'. Really. Somehow I doubt I'll be able to find this one in the Oxford English Dictionary, so I don't think I'll bother.

(3) What do you think of words that are made up but don't exist?
("Shipwrecksauce" is one such word that I made up out of boredom in 2008)

6 - A furry monster from a fairly poor anime series and a reasonably decent game series. If memory serves, it's called a "pikachu".

Memory serves correctly. It's a Pikachu.

10 - Several hundred. I speak about four.

(4) Which four do you speak?

12 - As I've explained numerous times already in this thread, I do not breach dimensional boundaries. I can observe them, yes. Traveling to them, no. Causing instability in these boundaries could cause them to fail entirely, which would lead to the destruction of ANY dimension adjacent to said boundary. I want to conquer a world, not cause a multi-universal apocalypse, thanks ever so much.

(5) If one of your dimensional counterparts tries to cause a multi-universal apocalypse, what would you do about it?

14 - The Chaos Emeralds, that's 7. The Master Emerald makes 8. Then there's the literal dozens of ancient magical swords, ruins, golems, and so on and so forth. Several hundred, all tallied up.

(6) Master Emerald? What's that? Something that Sonic the Blue Hedgehog has?
(7) Do you have a fortress?
(8) Do you go on vacations?

18 - ..................................what.

Let me rephrase that question.
(9) Do you have any stuffed animals?

20 - Nope. Oh, hang on, isn't that where a Black Emerald is stored, a counterpart to the Chaos Emeralds? Yeah, thought so.

I'm aware of the Crystal Skull, and Ankh Jewels, as well as the fact that those ruins are full of riddles that involve a lot of deathtraps. It seems I need to investigate the matter of the Black Emerald...
(10) If you were able to create any creature, what would it be?

24 - Well, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. For one, while the Egg Fleet is persistently hampered by Sonic's efforts, nobody else ever managed to slow it down. Alternately, I can go for the personal touch and just knock on your front door in my Egg Dragoon II. Although 'knocking' would be taking the term a bit loosely. I'd just blast the front of your house clean off.

Heh, target practice. Yay. My accuracy is terrible, so I need the practice. I'd even shoot something behind me with a pistol instead of hitting something in front of me.
(11) What happened to the Egg Dragoon I?

25 - Feel free. I don't hold the monopoly on trying to take things captive. The consequences are yours to suffer as well, of course. Capture Sonic, and you'll have Amy stoving in your skull with a hammer if she reaches you before Sonic inevitably escapes.

A hammer. Seriously, it won't hurt. I've ran into a brick wall by accident and it didn't even hurt. That little hammer-thing Amy has won't hurt.
(12) Sonic can't escape if he's unable to move, right?

27 - Never having heard the name before, I decided to run a quick search on it. A character from Grandia, apparently, so my guess as to where he is would be the world in which that game plays.

Yeah, he's a boss enemy and the protagonist's brother. And as hard as all the hardest areas of all the video games that exist. In my opinion.
(13) So nobody in your dimension is called Melfice?

28 - Why on earth would I hate squirrels?

For one, I encountered one that somehow exploded with the force of fifty nuclear bombs. I survived but barely.
(14) Would you be mean enough to use animals as weapons?

29 - When Armageddon starts, for one.

(15) For one? Any other things that you can think of?

30 - Doing what? I've encountered many glitches during my life, but I can hardly tell you about them if you refuse to be specific.

(16) ... How many glitches have you encountered with something you made, i.e. a vehicle of yours or a dimensional telescope or something?

(17) What's a "lasharus?"
(18) What is the biggest thing that you have ever seen?
(19) Which is better, laser guns or plasma cannons?
(20) What is your favourite colour?

[Sonic The Hedgehog]

(1) why did you think you could get shadow to help you rule the world, when he actually tricked you, how did he manage to do that?

(2) have you ever thought of hypnotizing me .

(3) why do you always capture Amy, or Cream?

(4) why do you hate the 4kids shows?

(5) and why is it that your robot's always seem to rebel against you? I thought all your robots where meant to be following you and never disobey.

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

(17) What's a "lasharus?"
(18) What is the biggest thing that you have ever seen?
(19) Which is better, laser guns or plasma cannons?
(20) What is your favourite colour?

1 - If memory serves, yes. It's been ages since they last did active duty though, so I could be wrong.
2 - I tend to vary them around a little. No sense in being unoriginal. Back during the Chaos fiasco, for example, it was "Get a load of this!" Currently I'm going with "Time for a change of pace!"
3 - Usually they depress me. The current example is a shining example of this.
4 - Dutch, English, French, and German.
5 - Any of my counterparts who is smart enough to be able to do that is smart enough not to want to. None of them is stupid enough to cause an apocalypse, and they tend to come down hard on those who try. Those who are insane enough to be willing to do it are generally too stupid to muster the necessary tech.
6 - The Master Emerald is essentially the controller of the seven chaos. It's got more power than any of the Chaos Emeralds, and can nullify their power in an instant. However, that last ability can only be used by a bona fide guardian of the Master Emerald. In this case, that would be Knuckles. He doesn't know I've got the Master Emerald and replaced it with a cheap copy, but then, he's an idiot. Still, I'm currently using it as a power source.
7 - Several. Currently the Egg Carrier is my flying fortress home. But for attacks and the like, I tend to use Final Fortress, flagship of the Egg Fleet.
8 - On occasion. Life can't be all work and no play.
9 - No. It felt a little awkward back in the day when I used small animals to power my robots (and to this day I still don't know what I was thinking when I dreamed that up.)
10 - Any creature? Not something I've ever given much consideration, really. If I come across a creature I'd like to recreate, I usually build a mech around it. It tends to work magnificently facing anything other than Sonic.
11 - Got destroyed by Sonic. It was a prototype at the time though. The Egg Dragoon II... also got taken down by Sonic, but despite that, it's still one of the most powerful mechs I've ever flown, so it will remain in use.
12 - Amazing conclusion there old boy. Good luck trying to stop him from moving. I've only succeeded once or twice, and even then the rodent managed to escape. But I'll just let you two fight it out if you want to. I'll probably be facing the winner anyway. My money's on Sonic.
13 - Nope.
14 - Batteries for a while. They were fine, but still, the concept was ridiculous in hindsight. I actually sent Sonic a quick note of thanks on the matter later.
15 - Not off-hand, no. Although some natural occurrences of gas in the air could turn the moon red through the haze, I suppose.
16 - Far too many to number. That's why I go through multiple prototype phases before creating the finished glitch-free product. I very rarely encounter glitches in finished products.
17 - Lasharus is my old name on this forum, and any other, really. I decided that I should probably not post as myself. Then I decided here to stuff it.
18 - Several of my creations. I mean, really, have you seen the Egg Carrier? If I'd be flippant, I'd say 'the planet'. I have been in space, after all.
19 - Varies per situation. Plasma cannons pack a more generalised punch while laser cannons are more efficient for precision targeting. Both are prone to overheating though.
20 - Red, yellow, white, and black. And don't bother trying to point out that the latter two aren't colours. I do not actually care.

Also to quickly address your other points:
- You need the Egg Fleet for target practice? Well, good luck with that. You'd even be able to hit it. You wouldn't do any damage, of course.
- You've run into a brick wall, that's nice. Amy tends to swing that thing at several speeds above the speed of sound. Trust me when I say it'll hurt. Let me compare it thusly. A dead-on laser blast didn't dent the Egg Carrier's hull. Amy's hammer did. You'd do well to beware.

(1) why did you think you could get shadow to help you rule the world, when he actually tricked you, how did he manage to do that?

(2) have you ever thought of hypnotizing me .

(3) why do you always capture Amy, or Cream?

(4) why do you hate the 4kids shows?

(5) and why is it that your robot's always seem to rebel against you? I thought all your robots where meant to be following you and never disobey.

1 - Because I was being gullible at the time. Plus, I leapt to the wrong conclusion too quickly. I figured "Hrm, a perfect opposite to Sonic. He'll fall in line with me as opposed to fight me!" Not one of my brightest moments, in hindsight.
2 - On occasion. Sadly, the victim of hypnosis needs to remain still, and I don't think you're actually physically capable of standing still.
3 - They're easy targets, though nowadays I tend to avoid Amy. At least Cream isn't loud. Or able to summon hammers from anywhere.
4 - Because 4kids doesn't produce anything of their own, they merely take original series and then translate them using some of the worst voice actors in the history of mankind. To date the only capable name that's ever come from that atrocious cesspit is Mike Pollock. Who voices me, to their credit. Perhaps they were afraid of offending me. They needn't have worried, they offended me well before hiring Mr. Pollock. Oh, and not only do they translate badly, they also take out scenes because they're terrified they might damage the fragile minds of the children. I hate political correctness with a passion.
5 - 'always'? To date there have only been three examples you know. Metal Sonic, who was programmed so perfectly it eventually interfered. We talked it out, and he voluntarily allowed me to reprogram the faulty sectors - take note of voluntarily kids, I'm not completely twisted - and he now works happily with the Robotnik Empire once more. Then there's E-102 Gamma, whose programming was so well-structured he developed free will and chose against me. I respect him for choosing, even if he chose against me. I salvaged what remains of him out of that respect. Finally, there's E-123 Omega, my only real mistake in this line-up. He was so ridiculously focused on destroying everything that I had to shut him in cold storage. For some reason, he took it personally. Then that daft Rouge woke him up, and ever since he's been trying to destroy me. Unsuccessfully, naturally, but all the same.

[Shane]

7 - Several. Currently the Egg Carrier is my flying fortress home. But for attacks and the like, I tend to use Final Fortress, flagship of the Egg Fleet.

(I) Does all your fortresses fly or only the really important ones?

8 - On occasion. Life can't be all work and no play.

(II) When was your last vacation?

12 - Amazing conclusion there old boy. Good luck trying to stop him from moving. I've only succeeded once or twice, and even then the rodent managed to escape. But I'll just let you two fight it out if you want to. I'll probably be facing the winner anyway. My money's on Sonic.

... I'm not old. I'm 16.
I probably misunderstand this part...

My money's on Sonic.

(III) Does that mean that you will pay Sonic if he wins or do I misunderstand?

20 - Red, yellow, white, and black. And don't bother trying to point out that the latter two aren't colours. I do not actually care.

Actually, they are colours...

Also to quickly address your other points:
- You need the Egg Fleet for target practice? Well, good luck with that. You'd even be able to hit it. You wouldn't do any damage, of course.

(IV) It's made of metal, right?

- You've run into a brick wall, that's nice. Amy tends to swing that thing at several speeds above the speed of sound. Trust me when I say it'll hurt. Let me compare it thusly. A dead-on laser blast didn't dent the Egg Carrier's hull. Amy's hammer did. You'd do well to beware.

My evasion speed is random. My skill of confusing people could help. I mean, Amy will definitely not be able to answer a riddle I know of. But then again, anything is almost possible.

Spoiler warning:

If it is dead, it is alive. If it is alive, it is dead. What is it?
I directly translated this from Afrikaans, my home language. A teacher asked me this about two years ago.

(V) Doesn't Miles Prower usually help Sonic? Or has he gone solo?

1 - Because I was being gullible at the time. Plus, I leapt to the wrong conclusion too quickly. I figured "Hrm, a perfect opposite to Sonic. He'll fall in line with me as opposed to fight me!" Not one of my brightest moments, in hindsight.

(VI) When was the first dullest moment?

3 - They're easy targets, though nowadays I tend to avoid Amy. At least Cream isn't loud. Or able to summon hammers from anywhere.

Stupid question, but...
(VII) Amy summons hammers from out of nowhere?
(VIII) Who is Cream?

5 - 'always'? To date there have only been three examples you know. Metal Sonic, who was programmed so perfectly it eventually interfered. We talked it out, and he voluntarily allowed me to reprogram the faulty sectors - take note of voluntarily kids, I'm not completely twisted - and he now works happily with the Robotnik Empire once more.

(IX) So he hasn't any faults or anything now?

Then there's E-102 Gamma, whose programming was so well-structured he developed free will and chose against me. I respect him for choosing, even if he chose against me. I salvaged what remains of him out of that respect.

(X) Was that your first robot that developed free will?

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

Quick replies just now. I'm bored.

(I) Does all your fortresses fly or only the really important ones?

(II) When was your last vacation?

... I'm not old. I'm 16.
I probably misunderstand this part...

(III) Does that mean that you will pay Sonic if he wins or do I misunderstand?

Actually, they are colours...

(IV) It's made of metal, right?

My evasion speed is random. My skill of confusing people could help. I mean, Amy will definitely not be able to answer a riddle I know of. But then again, anything is almost possible.

Spoiler warning:

If it is dead, it is alive. If it is alive, it is dead. What is it?

Why did you switch to Roman numerals?

I - Several fly, I also had several that were simply grounded, and exceptionally well defended. Not well enough, in hindsight, but well-defended.
II - Two and a half weeks ago. I took a weekend off there, you should be able to find it in the thread still.
III - No, it means that if I would place a bet on who would win in a fight between you two, I'd bet on Sonic.
IV - Yes. Neosteel. It features quite a few properties nobody else has ever been able to replicate. Do stop trying.
V - Tails usually works together with Sonic, yes. The two are fast friends, and I'll give the fox this - he's an exceptionally gifted mechanic and scientist. Just not as gifted as me.
VI - Probably my decision to use animal powered robots. I'm still not sure where that decision came from, though I have a few suspicions. One outside source comes to mind, and if I ever prove it, I'm going to find where I locked it up and shove it into a place far worse for him. Count on it.
VII - Yep. It's marginally freaky.
VIII - A young rabbit. She's too cute for her own good. Irritatingly so, in fact.
IX - I won't say he has no faults. Nobody is faultless, even bots designed by me, but Metal is one of my greatest creations, and I'm very fond of him.
X - No, that's Metal again.

As for your other points in the post:
- 'old boy' is just a mode of address. I wasn't calling you old.
- Yeah, there's a huge scientific community waiting to disagree with you on black and white being colours, and an equally large community waiting to prove that they are. I ignore the whole thing.
- Now really, that riddle? Concluding that it's about a candle is pushing the limits of logic, you know.

Why do you take the time to answer all of shane's questions?
I would have set a question limit per post, it would drive me nuts!

[Iamerror]

What language was the hardest to learn?
I have an idea! Involve Sonic in a scandal! Something that would destroy his rep. (I don't know if that will work)
Have you met/seen someone that you couldn't tell what gender they were?
What does your egg carriers run on? What kind of mileage to they get?
What is you IQ?
Are you glad that Toonami is back?
What do you take for your headaches? I take excedrin.
What's your favorite holiday?
When you take over, will your birthday be a national holiday?
What is your favorite Sonic game?
What do you think was the biggest mistake a game company made?
Did you watch any kids shows about science when you were little? I watched Mr. Wizard's world. I apparently learned nothing.

Quick replies just now. I'm bored.

You just used one of my catchphrases.

Why did you switch to Roman numerals?

Wait, I switched to Roman numerals? Shoot, guess I was too much in a hurry to play Pokémon SoulSilver...

I - Several fly, I also had several that were simply grounded, and exceptionally well defended. Not well enough, in hindsight, but well-defended.

(1) Well-defended enough to prevent most from entering?

III - No, it means that if I would place a bet on who would win in a fight between you two, I'd bet on Sonic.

Oh. I actually beat him in another dimension once. He was trying to destroy a town, and that dimension's Robotnik was trying to stop him and actually help the good guys. It was weird.

IV - Yes. Neosteel. It features quite a few properties nobody else has ever been able to replicate. Do stop trying.

I. Never. Give. Up! Unless my cold gets the better of me.

V - Tails usually works together with Sonic, yes. The two are fast friends, and I'll give the fox this - he's an exceptionally gifted mechanic and scientist. Just not as gifted as me.

(2) Do you know how he has two tails or is this something that is a mystery to you?

VI - Probably my decision to use animal powered robots. I'm still not sure where that decision came from, though I have a few suspicions. One outside source comes to mind, and if I ever prove it, I'm going to find where I locked it up and shove it into a place far worse for him. Count on it.

(3) "Him?" Who is he?

VIII - A young rabbit. She's too cute for her own good. Irritatingly so, in fact.

Rabbits... I HATE rabbits. They always try to kill me for some reason.
(4) Rogue's a bat, right?
(5) What colours would work well with red? And which colours would work well with green?

- 'old boy' is just a mode of address. I wasn't calling you old.

Ah, I misunderstood again. I take everything seriously, that's why.

- Yeah, there's a huge scientific community waiting to disagree with you on black and white being colours, and an equally large community waiting to prove that they are. I ignore the whole thing.

If I ignored things like that, I'd be even more bored than ever.

- Now really, that riddle? Concluding that it's about a candle is pushing the limits of logic, you know.

Wow. You actually figured it out. You're the first person who could answer it who I asked.
Guess I'll give a few more
In Roman numerals so that I don't get confused.

(I) What has a mouth, but never talks?
What has no legs, but always walks?
(this is from a computer game I once played)

(II)What is it, if it isn't edible?
What is it, if it sounds edible?
(I made this one out of boredom)

(III) What is very famous in most areas, and even keeps the same name in different languages?

Why do you take the time to answer all of shane's questions?
I would have set a question limit per post, it would drive me nuts!

Robotnik was bored.

What is you IQ?

It's very high, right?

(6) What will your next beat-Sonic plot be?
(7) Have you ever considered capturing one of Sonic's friends and placing superglue or something on the walls and floors to prevent him from getting through?
(8) What are all your favourite video games?
(9) Do you know of any detective that has 312 fears?
(10) If you were attacked by a giant talking, walking toaster-thing and your only weapon was a weak laser pistol, what would you do?

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

I'll admit I'm considering it. Thirty questions at a time could be overdoing it a little, but thus far I'm managing. If it gets annoying, I'm going to add that limit.

- Probably French. I'm not a master at it, at any rate.
- Unlikely. Sonic's reputation's been well and truly solidified over the past many years. Getting Sonic's name to become tarnished would take almost as long. Plus, I do respect Sonic, so I won't resort to such underhanded tactics. Much.
- On occasion. I just avoid using gender-specific modes of address until I am certain.
- Currently the Egg Carrier runs on the Master Emerald with several redundant power systems in case Knuckles finally wises up and tries to get it back. And mileage isn't really something I consider with the Egg Carrier. It can go bloody fast and has nigh-limitless power.
- 300.
- Whoonami? Yes, that was terrible, but I've not heard of 'em.
- Asprin or Ibuprofen. For bad headaches, one of each at the same time.
- I don't really have a specific favourite holiday, really. I only observe them for the time off, and for a world-conqueror, my schedule's pretty much constantly packed. I take time off when I want or need to.
- Hrmmm... Probably Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Not for the plot it chronicles, but just for the smoothness in which SEGA executed the game.
- UbiSoft. Always Online DRM.
- Not really. Usually what you learn on those are things you already know.

Right, back to random numerals. I'll even address them in order.

1 - Yes, actually. Well-defended enough to stop all but one (or on occasion two, given Tails) from entering.
2 - Rare mutation, basically. Tails merely put his namesakes to exceptionally good use.
3 - Nobody I'd ever care to mention.
4 - Rouge. And yes.
5 - For red: Yellow, black, and white. For green: Hrmm... try soothing browns, unless we're talking extreme bright green, in which case: nothing. Possibly purples, if you want to destroy your eyes' nerves.

I - A river. And you shouldn't say 'always walks'. A river runs.
II - I haven't a clue just now. You'll have to forgive me, it's getting late.
III - I'm inclined to say 'a scream'. Aargh is aargh everywhere. Terry Pratchett would disagree though, but that's a joke from one of his novels.

6 - If I told you, I'd give Sonic advance information. I have enough trouble stopping that hedgehog without giving him advance details of my schemes, thanks very much.
7 - Yes. It won't work. For one, the plan is silly. For two, Sonic's speed and friction are so immense the glue won't be able to take hold.
8 - All of them? You realise that I'm not inclined at all to provide the full list, right? That'll take quite some time. Top favourites of all time would be, among others, Final Fantasy VII, Baldur's Gate II, StarCraft I and II, Diablo (all of 'em), and more.
9 - Precisely 312? That's remarkably specific. And no.
10 - I'd tell it to stop bothering me and get back to work. If it wasn't built by me, I'd analyse its weak point and destroy it from there. More than one way to defeat weird things than with weaponry. Construction tools can be highly effective as well.

And for your random remarks:
- No you didn't. Do you know how I know you didn't go to another dimension? Because I would've detected any dimensional breaches and brought swift pain down on whoever was insane enough to even attempt it.
- You never give up? That's nice. I didn't tell you to give up. I told you to stop trying to find a way to defeat my Egg Fleet.
- Rabbits always try to kill you. Annnnd you think to pose a threat. Good grief.
