The Truth Hurts SM MaxX! (Also TTH ending)

Finish off the series with me. I'll give this thread till the 17th and Rotation 5 until tomorrow to wrap up any questions in there.

Thanks for all who participated. We had a kinda rocky start at the beginning but it turns out having 5 people in one thread isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Hope you had fun participating in this however you did; if people want I can probably run another one of these sometime in the future I'd be glad to do it again.

So yeah ask the autistic fucktard ddr fanboy whatever you please.

ok mr. "autistic fucktard ddr fanboy", let's get this show on the road

1) If you had to pick one song from ITG to play (of course I mean the official charts), which would you pick and why?
2) You're in charge of making a new gameshow for tv. Describe the name and what people would do on the show.
3) Which simfile pack are you most looking forward to being released on New Year's from r21?
4) What is the most annoying thing, in your opinion, that people do at arcades? This is not confined to games like DDR, ITG, or PIU.
5) Boxers or Briefs?

---

1) I hate you already haha. Honestly I'd say Euphoria. Once you got footspeed it's actually kinda fun to play god I can't believe I just said that.
2) ugh I'm sure whatever I come up with is already being made because game shows these days are so stupid. I tend to gravitate towards trivia games so probably something like that. Or maybe a touhou type gameshow. If I come up with something clever I'll get back to you on this.
3) Considering I have Talonmix IV and Tsunamix III already it's not a tough decision. Bring on the STREAMS. SharpnelSTREAMS.
4) You know that group of high school kids that tend to show up every now and then shouting and trying to talk to you and shadow you like idiots? That irritates me the most.

It's fine if you think the game is dumb, whatever. You don't need to be a complete douchebag about it.

5) boxers, though only when I'm not playing ITG. The things give me a really uncomfortable wedgie after like 10 minutes of play.

---

1) why rainbow dash

2) why not freeballing

---

1) Are you da bes?
2) What got you started on rhythm games?
3) How did you find this site initially?
4) What is your life aspiration/goals?
5) Taken into consideration the current state of the music rhythm gaming genre, how would you say you would "improve" the current music games as well as future rhythm games to put them back on the market?
6) Will we ever meet up within the next 5 years?
7) How does it feel to have babysat at least over 25 people asking questions from total strangers?
8) Will you be getting the next DDR US CS game if it comes out with more American pop but the X3 + 2013 content alongside with it?
9) What gaming consoles do you own?
10) Who is your favorite DDR Character?

and thanks for the GOODTIMES.avi

I like to call myself that sometimes, lol.

1. What got you into ponies?
2. Do you play Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Portal, or all of the three?
3. What's the best treatment for the common cold? I've had this cough for a week and I can't seem to get rid of it.
4. Can you solve Rubik's Cubes?
5. You are awesome for making this game happen. Could you please do another one?

1. What's the best ITG official 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13?

(I'll come up with some Q's to throw later and probably clobber this post)

1) Thoughts on the outcome of TTH? What do you think could have been changed for the better, if anything?
2) What are your top 5 favorite games?
3) Favorite thread on ZIv?
4) I ran out of questions, so...


Happy Holidays

Bump.

2. SM MaxX, why ponies?

1) because she's so kawaii desu

I don't know I guess her personality is pretty similar to mine: competitive, stubborn, adventurous, etc. so I tend to gravitate towards her more in the show than the others.

2) because in winter I'd rather not freeze my ass balls off. In summer though yeah I'm naked 90% of the time. The breeze feels nice...


1) phreshest motherfuckin frebreeze there is son
2) DDR: Some summer camp thing had it and it looked interesting so I played it. I hit random and got Max 300 for my first song and failed. I didn't play it for another year until I saw someone play it at a waterpark and thought "Maybe I should try it again". One of these days I'll go for AAAs but not until these pads get fixed.

ITG: like 2008 at the current arcade I go to I saw the machine next to a Extreme machine. I was amazed at how difficult the charts were compared to DDR, so much that at first I mostly ignored it. Once I got better though I started playing it more and more, till the point that I played it exclusively. I've definitely gotten a lot better now haha

PIU: god I don't even know how I got good at this. I remember like 2 years ago seeing it at an arcade in Nevada and thought "well I mean it can't be THAT hard" (I've played it before but it was extremely confusing at first). So that day I'm doing expert level charts like it's nothing. I honestly have no idea how it just clicked with me like that, and if I had access to one that wasn't expensive as hell I'm sure I could get really good at it. Fuck Doubles though, that shit is impossible to understand haha.

IIDX: this really hasn't been much of interest as the other three but sometimes I'll play it if an arcade has it because it's definitely a unique game. I still can barely pass 4s though haha.

Probably other shit I'm forgetting but I've played a good chunk of games. Because rhythm games are fucking awesome.

3) Initially? I just knew it as the place to go for DDR sims back in like 2010(?). I thought nothing more of it until the occasional ZIv takeovers on SM forums (the Antoine_Ralic one especially, and Agent P/Gabe). Chewi's posts especially intrigued me on what the site was really like, so I lurked for a few months and finally said "fuck it I'm joining". I thought it'd be a bunch of DDR weeaboos, and I was right, but it's also a chill place lol. If you haven't noticed I love the chat room a lot.

4) getting into and finishing college, finding my soulmate, you know the typical gay shit like that.
5) probably mostly DDR this is directed at; also biased probably Over the years I've seen rhythms isolate the hardcore crowd and instead focus more on the casual crowd. To me this makes no sense because the hardcore crowd are the ones that'll keep coming back to play the game and spend their money on it. And no I don't count stuff like PRevo welcoming to us because that shit is stupid.

Also get better music honestly. I'm geting sick and tired of seeing mainstream songs be overplayed to shit when the songs themselves are mediocre to begin with. Find some actual musical talent god OPINIONS OPINIONS OPINIONS

6) Depends! There's a lot of people I'd love to meet but my finances are usually lackluster to go traveling on a whim. I am trying the save up though.

7) You all seem behaved so it's all good. I may let you stay up after bedtime don't tell your parents
8) Doubtful for a number of reasons:

-I was extremely disappointed in DDR X CS, and seeing DDR X2 CS on youtube made me want to barf. I've kinda lost hope in the CS games so it'd take a lot to make me start playing them again.
-Games back in the days were $30 at most, and it really wasn't much of a hassle to buy them a lot. Nowadays they are so freaking expensive that I honestly can only buy like 4 games a year if that.
-I didn't have Stepmania back when I played CS games. Now I do, and I honestly would rather play stepmania now; it feels way more user friendly and customizable to my desires. That's a word now suck it.

And if it's mostly gonna be sugar coated pop songs, then it's probably not worth it to me.

9) PS, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Wii, DS, some older ones that I can't find but whatever. I'm more of a classic gamer and play all the hit games from the last generation of gaming (which I honestly think is better than this generation). Dark Cloud 2 and Mario Party 4/5 will always have a place in my heart and never get old <3

10) Emi by a long shot.


1. I remember seeing everyone excited over it and thought "why the hell are people so addicted to this series? It's just a kids show." One day though I was browsing through TV because everything was sucking to watch (and porn wasn't an option back then I mean what) and stumbled upon the episode where RD competes in the best flyer competition. I thought "eh why not" and started watching it. I was thoroughly surprised, it was funny, charming, and maybe a little cheesy, but honestly I liked it because of that haha. All I can say is if you haven't watched it yet, at least give it a chance. It's a great show for anyone to watch, one of those cartoons that will probably never be forgotten like Spongebob or the Ren and Stimpy show.

2. I play Portal every now and then. I don't play Left 4 Dead really ever, and tf2 just doesn't interest me enough to play it. Also everyone who says I need to play tf2 I link them a bunch of furry/pony porn because I'm sick and tired of people asking me to play with them.

3. I find medicine helps really never, so mostly I just tend to starve myself (not literally, I just eat way less than normal) until the cold goes away. A hot shower also does wonders for your sinuses, so I tend to take those a lot. To be honest I haven't been sick in almost a year though, so whatever I'm doing right now must be extremely useful in keeping sickness away haha.

4. I indeed can. All the way up to a 6x6x6, though that one can take a good 20 minutes to solve. I use to be able to solve the 3x3 in under a minute, but I've forgotten next to all the algorithms for it now so I'm not as fast as I used to be, though I can still solve it on demand.

5. If you guys want another installment sure! It probably won't be for a few months at least though.


He did. In the chat. Golden quotes like that should never be lost.


1. ugh I'll try my best here to salvage through this steaming pile of shit:

-9: I'd say Bumble Bee. It mostly follows the music pretty well and doesn't have any dickish parts in it.
-10: hmm, maybe Spin Chicken or Fleadh Uncut. Both are pretty similar so I can't really choose between them.
-11: Xuxa I think is pretty decent except for that one gallop/crossover shit part.
-12: ugh and this is where they start sucking. I'm gonna have to go with Euphoria again. Tell is garbage, HotN is a drifty piece of shit, Bloodrush makes me want to slam my fists into the moniter, Determinater has bad patterning in the 24ths, Energizer is kind of a clusterfuck (though not that bad as I'm making it out to be), Vertex is meh, Bang (!) is awkward a lot, Delerium is too crossovery and the hands are bleh, and Go 60 Go is such an ass song with a mediocre chart. All you really need in Euphoria is footspeed and you can beast it pretty well.
13: All 3 of these have they're own problems, but I'm gonna say Summer speedy just on it being the lesser of the evils. Pandemonium is okay I guess, but the patterning is extremely brutal IMO for a 13. Vertex^2 makes me want to die it's so bad.

God I hate officials.

2. Copy pasta from r21freak:

"On the SM forums I'm just MaxX. I came up with the name because Max 300 was the first song I ever played on DDR (no it wasn't because of MaxX unlimited or Fascination MaxX), and eventually it just stuck with me.
When I signed up on here someone apparently already took the name "MaxX" so I just added the SM for Stepmania, and viola! SM MaxX became my name. "


1) I think it worked out good. I think next time I need to plan a bit better as the first rotation shows, but the number of people vs the number of days feels pretty good to work with. But yeah it's been fun.
2) ugh I have to pick? I have so many... the ones that stick out to me the most:

-Dark Cloud 2. I love the story and even after you beat the game there's SO MUCH you can do in the game that replayability is through the roof. Admittedly it does take a little while to get the hang of (You have no idea how many times I died in the opening battle haha) but I'd say it's well worth all the hours I've spent into it. I also think it's one of the most underrated games ever, because I almost never see anyone else talk about it.

-Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic. This won over 40 game of year awards for a reason. The story is absolutely amazing, the humor is hilarious, and the fighting system feels like you have so much control over so many things at once. Plus the ability to choose your dialogue, whether you want to be good or evil, what to level up as, it's just so fun replaying this game because it always brings a smile to my face.

-Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. First Sonic game I ever played, and I'm glad it was. Out of all the Sonic Games I've personally played, this one is by far the best to play IMO. The level design is great, the story is pretty good, the side missions are fun to play, the controls make you feel so in control despite all the chaos going around you, and oh my god the Chao Garden. Best invention ever for a video game; I've spent roughly 80% of my time in that game playing in the Chao garden and raising Chao. How can you not love those adorable things?

-Sonic 06. Needs no explanation. jk fuck that shit.

-Pikmin 1/2. Those little creatures are just so damn cute, and I love the level design in these games. And the second game has a good amount of replayability even after you get reach the end of the game. Also the boss design in #2 is really fun to play against. Just a classic game that never gets old.

-Portal 2. I don't really need to go over how amazingly fun this game is. The humor is some of the funniest I've ever heard in a video game, and the story is beautifully woven (if not kinda silly). And after the update to make your own test chambers it has such a massive replayability from the minds of the community.

3. I get a kick out of the TLOES thread here. Seeing Revolver and hellrazor's comments are hilarious haha.
