Quick question:
Was the bonus stage with the electric spheres your primary source of extra lives?
E.G.G.M.A.N.
Old 1 - Yeah, got that on one of the first pages. Good of you to notice though.Originally Posted by Fist Of Tulkas
1 - Tails Doll is not cute. It wants to eat your soul. Seriously, I half-suspect I ddn't so much create it as much as put shape around an idea of eldritch terror already there. It doesn't have any weapons because it doesn't need any. I strongly advise against owning Tails Doll.
2 - Annoyed, yet proud, in most cases. E-102's rebellion might have been ill-timed, but it proved a seriously well-designed AI, and I can respect those who stand up for their beliefs, though they may be opposite to my beliefs. I won't stop conquering the world because of it, naturally, but you know, respect is nice. The only one that just annoys me is Omega. Whiny bucket of bolts.
3 - I binned the entire Shadow Clone line very soon after the idiotic events detailed in Shadow the Hedgehog. Frankly, he annoys the hell out of me. Don't know what I was thinking, building more.
4 - Because it is my mustache and it is awesome. Really, you have to ask?
5 - My bodily shape is due to a glandular problem, and despite them being skinny, my legs are more than muscled and wiry enough to hold me up, and even run at high speeds.
6 - The disguise did work on plenty of people. Please recall who I deal with on a regular basis: Amy, who managed to mistake Shadow, Werehog Sonic, and several others for the actual Sonic, and the one time she was right (Werehog Sonic), she thought she was wrong. Others have shown similar ability to see through disguises. I wasn't even trying there, I just wanted to feel like royalty for once.
7 - Good grief no. Bald is beautiful. Can you imagine me with hair? I approve of the use you put your hair to though.
8 - Not at all. I started this thing to answer questions, after all. I'd be rather bad at it if I didn't bother to actually answer questions. Just abide by the rule about sex questions and the question limit and it'll be fine.
9 - Again, not at all. I like people who like me. It shows that they have common sense. And don't worry, some of my schemes left a bad taste in my mouth.
10 - The reason I got rid of the fluffy woodland animal battery concept was because, quite frankly, it was idiotic. I suspect I was going through some sort of 'needlessly cruel' phase when I cooked that up, thinking of batteries to power my creations. Chaos Drives (specifically, Egg Chaos Drives, far better than the dross GUN uses) serve my needs magnificently.
The livestream does sort of stand out, but I've had a few now. I assume you refer to the latest one?Remember the livestream?

Quick question:
Was the bonus stage with the electric spheres your primary source of extra lives?
Yes. Yes it was. Admittedly, I didn't exactly need the extra lives, but if you know your way around that bonus stage, getting extra lives becomes exceptionally trivial.

That dumb rumor is fact? Yes, I had to ask about the 'stache. Better the 'stache than calling you fat, yes? I truly cannot believe that disguise worked. It's not so much that imagining you with hair is horrific, it's imagining you without your mustache that is simultaneously disturbing and hilarious. And hey, my hair would just be tossed in the trash. Might as well give it to someone who needs it. I mean, it's 2'7" long right now. More than enough to donate.
Here's some more questions. I apologize in advance for the length. I did my best to limit these to five questions and only the questions but, apparently, I can't stop typing once I have a topic. Sorry for anyone reading this thread who has to scroll down through this monster of a post. This is my longest... I think ever. You indirectly caused this, Ivo!
1) Have you ever had any pets? I have two currently, both Russian Blue mixes (the white patch in their fur indicates they're not pure Russian Blues). One is a sweetheart but incredibly dense and heavy to the point that he actually grunts in his sleep and has difficulty scaling the couch's armrest. The other is much lighter but is an immense jerk. He attacks my brother on a regular basis, he walks all over me, screams whenever I sneeze, licks me but then suddenly starts biting me, and keeps poking holes in my clothing while they are being worn. Also, he attacks and occasionally leaps onto Dusty, often-times rolling around and biting one another in the chest, neck, head, or groin-area. They're silent when they do this and they don't cause harm, so we have no clue what's going on. I assume DJ is doing a dominance play while Dusty thinks they're just playing.
2) This is actually a comment connected to the Teaching question on page 28 (answered page 29). Regarding this, I don't think you'd be suited for such a profession. It's not that you cannot do it (you certainly could), it's that your personality wouldn't mesh well with such a career unless you achieve tenure. I just cannot see you sitting around trying to drill knowledge into people's skulls without throwing nearly everyone out of the class. This is based on my own experience as a college student, having a wide variety of teachers due to a wide variety of interests and mandatory classes. Even with students who want to learn, sometimes they just have difficulty grasping a larger vocabulary or even with the concepts unless it is slowly spelled one phase at a time. By the way, if you try Theater (design), you'll have a large body of students who can work in many different fields and necessity have to put in x hours in with the theater. It's really impressive how quickly and efficently they build complicated sets, especially when crafting metal objects/set-pieces is involved.
3) I heard you like eggs. Would you like to try this recipe I made? I've tried it and in the form of French Toast (that's what caused this version due to leftover 'batter'). It's pretty good.
"Cocoa Omlette"
2 eggs (raw)
1 teaspoon of Cocoa Sugar (or powdered cocoa)
1 teaspoon of butter
A dash of pink Himalayan salt crystals (ground)
1. First, take the eggs and break them into a small container (such as a ramekin). Blend eggs. Mix cocoa sugar in with the eggs
2. Take a frying pan, drop the butter in the middle, set the pan on medium heat.
3. Pour egg mixture in pan, fry until bottom is completely cooked, fold over, cover, and cook thoroughly. Serve warm, sprinkled with salt.
I get weird looks from my family when I do things like this, but it tastes good and how else will I know if admittedly eclectic recipes work or not unless I try them? I have other recipes if you're interested (or curious) such as ham and honey sandwich or turkey sandwich with mustard and grated cheese.
Here's the (massive) question I asked about in the other post:
4) This is a long one (I'm sorry) but I felt it necessary to explain my question and the confusing things about my attempts at research without a physical copy of the item at hand. Remember the Item Monitors? How do those work? I've tried to figure it out myself but (as I am not physically present in such an area with Monitors, I need to rely on images). First, the dimensions. As Sonic was often seen near them, he's the easiest to get a height comparison through. However, "Modern" Sonic mostly uses the Capsules, I have difficulty comparing his height to it. Past Sonic has plenty, though.
SonicCompare.png
I found an image of the two of them standing together. Under the presumption that their heads are a foot in length due to sheer size in contrast to your average human's (which still reaches nearly a foot anyway) and that their scalp follows the visual arc of the 'middle' spine, these guidelines imply that their heights are roughly 3'2" and 2' 2". The purple line, as you can see, is drawn along the seen measurements for the next image.
SonicCompare2.pngGold_Shield.png
The full TV is almost reaches Past Sonic's scalp. The overlap between Sonic's height and the height of the Monitor is a near perfect match to the green lines marking his height. From this, I think it is safe to assume that the Monitor's height is 2'0" (or close to it). Note that this also matches distance between the pink lines marking Modern Sonic's height
The monitor is a perfect square when you include the base/stand. This means that its width is also 2'0", but the depth is another story. As seen with the broken monitor, it is difficult to discern the depth due to the shallowness of the image. However, based on how CRT television/computer monitors work (which is likely what was used when Item Monitors were first in use) they take up a lot of space inside the frame which gives it the box-like shape. Also, the above isometric view of a Monitor shows that the depth is half of the monitor's size (sans base), so it is likely under a foot in depth.
Reminder: The Item Monitor's dimensions are roughly 2'0" x 2'0" x 0'10" including the stand. Now, assuming the item monitors possess a CRT to show what it contains, this leaves the question that bugs me: where does the item get stored? There simply is no room! Even with the Item Capsules, the display is all that's inside it!
ItemboxB.jpg.png
The capsule appears to be a holographic projector with force field 'bubble' and... lid? At least the monitors give the illusion that something can be stored in them! During my (still ongoing, I'm at page 58 right now) review of the archive, I found that you touched on this subject before. Removing them just makes them reappear? Even if they are not damaged in any way? Okay, that's just as baffling as the dimensional problems in regard to storage!
5) On an unrelated note, are you hiring? I wish to work but all the places I've sent resumes and applications to have yet to call for even the common courtesy of thanking me for my interest yet 'sadly' they are not hiring at the moment (even though they in fact are). I can follow orders, do tech support and basic maintenance, deal with idiots and brutes on a daily basis, and act in a pleasant yet professional manner. Otherwise I wouldn't had been hired at a college student academic computer lab for three years straight as they hired on a term-to-term (roughly 3 month) basis.

E.G.G.M.A.N.
I know I caused this when I gave permission, although I'll admit I didn't expect quite so thorough a post.
1 - Animal pets, no. Robotic minions, by the thousands.
2 - Don't underestimate me. I will admit I would only want to teach those whom wanted to be taught, but I am willing to adapt to those interested enough, and who manage to show at least some aptitude.
3 - I'll admit I'm not much of a cook myself, so I built a cooking-bot to do the work for me. I've programmed the recipe in to see what I think of it with my next meal.
4 - My, but you are thorough, aren't you. The monitors and capsules actually exist, but what one must remember is that Sonic doesn't actually gather extra lives in real life. He has the one, and that's it. Gathering rings is merely a mode of increasing his power, and providing him with a one-shot shield.
These capsules only contain ephemeral shields, which don't actually take up any space at all - they're merely projected energy, or rings. Or more succinctly, ring energy. As I believe I've mentioned before, the rings Sonic collects aren't truly rings, they're chaos energy that's contained in a shell of order, hence the perfect circle, or ring. Once Sonic claims the energy within these rings, the ring itself, the outer shell keeping the energy going, harmlessly dissipates, until it gathers enough energy to reform as a new ring. This is also why rings reappear again after a certain amount of time. They are the manifestation of chaos energy, essentially, and thus a ring both is a solid object and isn't - the moment its energy is claimed, it fades.
The monitors and capsules merely store a larger amount of chaos energy, and since rings are so prevalent, they've become the standard unit of measurement. Sonic gathers one 'ring' worth of energy for every ring he picks up, but if he cracks open a capsule containing what in the game is called 10 rings, it's merely 10 ring-units of energy. It's just become the mode of measurement, really. This is how one can ascertain that it can still be contained within despite the, as you already mentioned, limited space: it doesn't have solid shape. Which also holds true for the shields. The regular shield and the magnetic shield. It's not so much magnetic as much as it draws in small quantities of chaos energy nearby. It's not powerful enough to draw in larger quantities or heavier weights, which is why these shields can't drag along capsules, but manage fine with individual, nearly weightless, rings.
I hope this clarifies the matter.
5 - Well, I'll admit you've impressed me with the sheer thoroughness of your research into the matter, bringing along evidence, comparisons, and multiple pieces of proof needed to support your theory. The only point where you went wrong is in that you assumed, like most everyone else does, rings are solid objects. As it turns out, they both are and aren't.
At any rate, considering a job application - I'll have look into things. I can't give you anything definite, because frankly, most of the work is done by robots. We'll see.
- Now now, no poking fun at my weight. I happen to look extremely good. Homer Simpson is just extremely fat. And he's a cartoon.Like Homer Simpson's glandular problem?
Yes.
And yes.
- Yes. Common sense. I'm not that hard to like.
- Glad to hear I had the right stream in mind.
In this case, I can honestly and definitely say that, no, the thought never crossed my mind.
I wonder why.
Luna Sedata.
do you believe in ying and yang? (w/o Robotnik,there is no need a Sonic trying to be a Hero rescuing the world,... )
do you believe in karma? (God/kamisama/buddha/money or w/e god you worship trying to punish you for your reckless way of world domination)
Ya'll are stupid
What's your favorite music genre?

That does explain some things. I know that there are no 'extra lives' or 'continues' in real life, but due to a lack of decent records where I live as to the actual events sometimes fact blurs in with fiction. I never believed the "Magnetic Shields" were truly magnetic. After all, your creations would fling themselves at him if that was the case or the robots would be wiped out from an EMP.
The concept that rings are manifestations of chaos energy and the fact that Sonic wields such a thing naturally is rather horrific when I stop and think about it. Aside from his allies who can manipulate the energy to some level of degree as he can, the main things that come to mind with such natural control are CHAOS, the water-entity unleashed from the heart of the Master Emerald in "Adventure", and the Gizoids ("Battle" and "Dark Brotherhood"). CHAOS can siphon energy from the Emeralds and leave them almost depleted husks and transform into a variety of aquatic predator forms with Perfect CHAOS as the most disturbing. The Gizoids are mechanical creations, but they still can tap into the power of the Chaos Emeralds. And then there was the whole "Heroes" fiasco with Metal Madness/Overlord. These are what Sonic is on par with and has actually surpassed. And Sonic is "nice". Imagine if he went insane or tapped into more power than he could safely handle.
Question time. 1) What do you think about the above paragraph?
2) Do you have a favorite dessert?
3) While I'm on the topic regarding food-stuffs, have you ever had an atypical (non-sapient) meat? For example, I've had alligator (gumbo and jerky) and a friend of mine has eaten squirrel while visiting relatives.
4) I know the "carnival" was a flop due to Sonic crashing it early and wrecking everything, but why didn't you reopen it anyway sans-Wisps? All that effort went to waste and you could had rebuilt easily and made a profit. And best of all: Sonic would be unable to stop it because there would be nothing illegal or immoral. You could even add in an arcade full of games such as a laser tag obstacle course similar to the E-series' training room (switch destructible dolls for laser targets) and the Whack-A-Hog that Amy beat.
E.G.G.M.A.N.
- Not precisely. I do believe in heroes being, essentially, a reactionary force. Without a so-called villain, the heroes would be useless, but I don't derive my sense of existence from Sonic. I have a very clear goal in mind, and Sonic is an obstacle in its way, not my reason for being.
- I believe in taking the consequences of your actions. Call it karma if you want to, but I'm inclined to just call it 'reaping what you sow.' I don't believe in some higher being meting out justice to me because I try to take over the world. That's Sonic. And Sonic is not a higher being. Perish the thought.
Classic rock.
Yes, I know you were expecting techno. Life's just filled with these little disappointments, isn't it?
1 - I was going to comment on it anyway, but I'll do it in this question, to keep things concise.
Chaos, as you seem to see it, is not inherently evil. It is the essence of change, uncertainty, and surprise. Without chaos, nothing could exist. The same holds true for order. The being Chaos is a rather unique example of the breed, however. He was manifested from nearly pure chaos energy, and created to protect the chao and Master Emerald shrine from defilement. Needless to say, this didn't work out too well when Knuckles' ancestors essentially trampled the chao there and burned the temple to the ground.
This is pure conjecture, but what I suspect happened is that Chaos, in its infancy, tried to use the power of the Chaos Emeralds to stop the atrocity, but the resultant energy explosion left him maddened. He was still too young and untried to handle that much power, and nearly destroyed the world as a result.
Much later, during my attempted take-over with Chaos on my side, the same almost happened, but Sonic managed to take it down. In doing so, he used his mastery over the chaotic flows of energy within the emeralds to, essentially, restore Chaos' mind. I'm told Tikal and Chaos are quite happy now. I'll admit I wish I had more knowledge on Chaos' history before I unleashed it, but eh, hindsight's 20/20.
The gizoids you mention are simply mechanical constructs - powerful, but not even remotely on the level of Sonic, Chaos, or my creations. Remember, my own creations are also able to syphon energy off the Chaos Emeralds, and even the Master Emerald.
2 - These things tend to vary constantly, but I'll admit I'm not really one for desserts. I eat dinner, and then move on to the next project.
3 - Not really. I prefer just the bog-standard foods. Might be a little bland of me, but I know what I like, and I don't really feel like going out of my way to eat different things. I'm hale, I'm hearty, and I eat well. That's all I need.
4 - "Rebuilt easily"? Eggman's Amazing Interstellar Amusement Park was a very large project. It was already in the works when I was still going through the whole Dark Gaia fiasco. And if you finished Sonic Colours, I can tell you that SEGA was quite accurate as to its ultimate fate. It's a bit tricky to repair something that's been essentially dragged into a dark hole and its remains evaporated. The only thing still there is about a tenth of the sky elevator.
Ya'll are stupid
What is your favorite plan?
My personal favorite was plan CD, which I just bought the Xbox version of.
E.G.G.M.A.N.
Just one question today? My, it's quiet.
The Little Planet debacle wasn't really my personal favourite. Time travel still does my head in, when all is said and done.
I'm having trouble choosing though. Each had their merits and demerits. Evil Plot #301: Unleashed, for example, worked reasonably well, in that I actually got Eggmanland constructed. Then everything backfired and the whole Dark Gaia thing blew up in my face. Not my finest hour. On the other hand though, it also marked the first time I used the Egg Dragoon, possibly my favourite of all my machines.
I think the prize would have to go to Evil Plot #198: Adventure 1 though. Chaos might've been a mistake in the end, but I truly showed my power there. The Egg Carrier, still in use, the Egg Walker, and multiple other creations during that round... ahhh memories. Plus, even though E-102 Gamma betrayed me there, it did prove he was an exceptionally well-built bot with his own moral compass.
Not Your Mother
How do you explain sonic having one giant cornea and two pupils (and in some cases irises) within said? knowing how the eye works, this would cause an astigmatism-esque deformation of sight, not to mention being almost scientifically impossible.

To be honest, I have yet to beat Colors. I got the portable version as I knew I'd be unable to play the console version yet... All I heard was "base got wrecked." If I heard "base got sucked into a black hole" that question wouldn't had been asked. A quick comment regarding Chaos, I never meant "chaos is evil" I meant "the power chaos grants can be devastating". Everything can be viewed as "good" or "evil" based on what use it is put to. "Chaos is power enriched by the heart" was a big clue to this. Still, interesting. By the way, not meaning to ignore your creations and how they were powered by the Chaos Emeralds at times, but your creations don't always go guano insane like the Gizoid ("Battle") or "Metal Madness/Overlord".
Now an actual question in this post:
1) You mentioned stone tablets predicting CHAOS absorbing the Emeralds and gaining in power. Where were these tablets found and are you sure they were a prophecy and not a warning saying "this is what happened, this is what can happen to you"?
2) It's been hot here and the weather's being weird what with long sweltering days and sudden rainstorms around the evening. I hope you're keeping cool?
3) How the heck can Miles use his massive fluffy double tails for flight? I know there's scorpions sometimes born with two tails, but this defies physics and basic anatomy!
4) Speaking of Tails, you said Tails Doll really is possessed. How did that happen?
