THENECROMANCER'S PROFILE

author=AubreyTheBard
Well, it's like this...when any of the other heroes take a hit, the action may pause for a second while they lose their powers, but the music will continue uninterrupted. That causes the stage to get out of sync with the music. Link doesn't happen to have that issue (except when he uses fairy powers), so I recommend using him. It's a weird little snafu that comes with trying to do something (a music-synced stage) which the developers of the game didn't anticipate.

I'm glad you said this because now I won't bother with trying to do long audio-syncing at all. It doesn't sound worth it. Maybe a short section, but not my original plan that's for sure.

You mean, like Saw?

Just keep this open ended for a while. Until there is enough for a decent sized game, even if it's made up of levels from just a few people. You could put a message to PM you levels after the deadline if it can't be altered. (btw, it doesn't show who is running this event anywhere on the page)

How will these levels be assembled in game? We could talk about ideas for it. Liiiiiike, it could be a Music Hall of Fame type hub world with paintings on the wall for each song that you jump in to start. Stars could be reskinned to records. You gotta get 5 platinum records(yoshi coins) haha

Are we having common enemy sprites? Like with the Halloweeen event. Music related goombas, maraca koopas, pipes are speakers with music notes popping up, flying V shaped guitars :)

Rama is better described as a story about near-present day humans exploring the first alien visitor, which is a dark cold mysterious vessel that is dead and lifeless at first but slowly comes alive with them inside. The reasoning behind everything is very logical and familiar, but still foreign and interesting. It focuses a lot on the science behind things, instead of just doing the thing. For example, they are in low gravity and travelling a long ladder. And a major point of the process is how they have to pace themselves to not get tired, and have their muscles suffer. And it goes into detail about what happens, and how they deal with it. Psychologically too. It's more scientific than most science fiction. Where weird shit happens just because it needs to and it sounds cool. This story happens within our boundaries of what humans can do right now, with a few realistic advancements.

There are some sequels I haven't read yet, but the first book was just so enthralling. I think I heard that the series gets worse, but I want to know more about the alien ship so I will keep reading.

As for Ready Player One, I actually just watched the movie. Finally. As far as book to movie adaptions go, this is the farthest from the source material I've ever seen. You could do the book and have almost noooo idea what is going to happen next haha There is no racing in the book, they don't meet in IRL so early on, the circumstances they all meet and their relationships are 90% different, all the library watching videos of Halliday;s life stuff isn't in the book in any shape or form. It's bonkers. If I had to guess, they couldn't secure the rights for the missing plot points in the book, so they had to make up a bunch of stuff. The movie didn't even feel 80s(besides the soundtrack), where in the book that is a massive in your face fact.

Because there is no racing, that means the way he figures out how to find the first key and how he obtains it is 100% different. Plus, in the book they get the key then have to use it to open a gate, which is a whole other challenge. They took that out completely and it's basically half of the damn contest!

I had to shut off the movie half way through, when H rescues him in the van. Things are happening for no reason. The book slow walks you to each milestone and their relationships form over time. It makes no sense that Z and Art3mis would get close so quickly. Her character in the book is much more resistant to the idea of meeting IRL where in the movie she kidnaps him and brings him to her house. WHAT! Besides, she's supposed to be in Canada and him in the US.

There are endless references to old games, movies, and music in the book but I dunno, I never felt it was "shameless". The whole point of the book is that the way to win the contest is to become familiar with all the things Halliday liked. He grew up in the 80's. So to be a good gunter, Parzival had to become a master in that stuff. So the book takes a while to list all the things he's been researching. That's at the start and sets the context for all the other references. In that they are related to Halliday and the hunt, and a requirement to understanding the clues, and understanding the amazing talent Parzival has for knowledge. Some people seem to think even that is shameless nostalgia on the authors part, but I don't agree with that. I like how it uses existing pop culture in a future setting.

BTW, the clues in the book are clever and actually reference things from the 80s directly. The clues in the movie are so dumb and obscure, some having nothing to do with 80s culture. How they solve them is even more baffling.

Basically, you don't know RP1 at all by watching that crummy movie. It's just like the Death Note netflix movie. They botched it in almost the same way. I enjoyed some parts of the movie, had some laughs at things that weren't in the book, was nice to see some scenes from the book play out exactly right. Plus it's 3D, so that's always a plus for any bad movie. "At least it's got decent 3D effects"

What does winding mean in this context?
