Ask Doctor Robotnik!

*ahem*

3 reasons why that isn't used as the main form of media.

1.) Space limitations, it's apparent when you look at the N64 and PS1.
2.) It CAN GET DAMAGED, all media, if not proplerly handled can be damaged.
3.) What's more costly in the long run, cartridges.

Now for that question Doc.

Are all your latest inventions environment-friendly ?

i should have said LESS damaged media. modern flash memory is faster and higher capacity than discs.

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

no, if the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii had used their own flash cartridges for games instead of discs we wouldn't be in this position with games. what if the discs had never been used? if flash cartridges had kept as the main form of media there'd be no damaged media. can you check out an alternate universe where that happened so we can get a conclusion to this?

Yes, because that's a very easy search parameter. "A universe where console gaming had stuck to cartridges". Yes, that universe exists somewhere, but I can't just home in on any world in the multiverse. The ones I can observe are the 'nearest', and even then using the word nearest is grossly inaccurate. Sadly, more accurate will be difficult.

Here's the prediction from my simulation system though.

Let's see...

Console gaming went into an inexorable decline after no new medium had been developed, having stuck to archaic cartridges and not developing much new while PC gaming moved on to CD, DVD, and eventually Blu-Ray. Console developers' stubborn refusal to accept the new medium eventually heralded the death of that branch of the gaming industry, despite developments in cartridge systems.

Huh, go figure.

Now for that question Doc.

Are all your latest inventions environment-friendly ?

Pretty much, yes. I tend to at least try to not destroy the planet I aim to take over. There's some minor exhaust from some of the more ambitious mechs, but overall, I don't cause any great risk to the environment.

Then obviously the gaming industry should've caught on ages ago and we'd be using cartridges instead of discs.

Oh, hang on.

Development moved in a different direction, it's unlikely that it'll return to cartridges, with the exception of originally cartridge-based hand-helds such as the DS.

[Kyzuru]

Ok, so Sonic(both of them) ruined your latest plot, are you going to go back and get a teaching degree?

[Fist Of Tulkas]

Hey Doc, I know you don't like talking about your father... but what about your mother or other family?

[Shane]

(I) What are the names of your grandparents and parents?
(II) Have you ever watched a movie called Mr. Bones? (entirely random)

[Nemkoon]

Do you have any siblings?
If so, are they competent?

[GunSlinger Boy]

what do you think would happen if SEGA releases a cartridge based console within the next few years?

[GunSlinger Boy]

Hey Doc, I know you don't like talking about your father... but what about your mother or other family?

speaking of that, is there a Colin in your world? i noticed most of the events in Sonic X mirror those in the comic-books and game.

Do you mean Christopher? I say his alternate self is Marine.

[GunSlinger Boy]

well i meant Colin Kintobor from the comics

[GunSlinger Boy]

forgot this earlier: is there any storyline truth to the Sonic comic that was packd-in with the original game?

[Iamerror]

I'm glad you like my ideas.
1). How often, if at all, do you review old fights?
2). I want to build my own robot helpers, what advice do you have for me?

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

Ok, so Sonic(both of them) ruined your latest plot, are you going to go back and get a teaching degree?

I already did, as a matter of fact. I am now Professor Doctor Robotnik. But you can keep calling me Doctor Robotnik.

Hey Doc, I know you don't like talking about your father... but what about your mother or other family?

It's a blanket rule for me, essentially. Still, some minor details won't hurt.

My mother was a loving woman, highly intelligent (Hey, it runs in the family), who appeared to only want the best for me. Which is why she signed me up for GUN, her working there as chief scientist. I quickly rose through the ranks of GUN's top intellects. My reward? Nearly being killed for having the greatest mind in the world.

...mother... wasn't so lucky.

Let's just leave it here, shall we? I intended this to be at least a cheerful thread.

(I) What are the names of your grandparents and parents?
(II) Have you ever watched a movie called Mr. Bones? (entirely random)

I - I only know my grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik. My parents' names will remain undisclosed until such time as I decide to make them known.
II - My answer's less random. Nope.

Do you have any siblings?
If so, are they competent?

'fraid not. Or possibly thankfully not. You never know.

what do you think would happen if SEGA releases a cartridge based console within the next few years?

They'll be laughed off of the market.

speaking of that, is there a Colin in your world? i noticed most of the events in Sonic X mirror those in the comic-books and game.

Sonic X has sod-all to do with this dimension. And Colin/Snively has sod-all to do with Sonic X's reality.

Do you mean Christopher? I say his alternate self is Marine.

Who's Christopher?

Oh right, the aggravating kid.

well i meant Colin Kintobor from the comics

forgot this earlier: is there any storyline truth to the Sonic comic that was packd-in with the original game?

No, not really. SEGA basically informed me that they had to make initial sales somehow, so I let it be.

I'm glad you like my ideas.
1). How often, if at all, do you review old fights?
2). I want to build my own robot helpers, what advice do you have for me?

1 - Occasionally. It's informative. Plus, nostalgia's nice.
2 - Start small. Seriously. Don't expect to build a fully functional Egg Pawn right from the start.

Before you ask why I am using the "code" BBCode, it's for the spacing to work.

Do you play chess?
If so, do you have a life-size chess board with life-size chess pieces that are actually robot-like?
