Sky Sanctuary Poll

Welcome to the Sky Sanctuary Poll. Scroll on down to the bottom, and there will be two questions. One regarding Sonic, the other regarding videogames in general. Answer whichever one you want, or you can answer 'em both. Remember that this isn't a quiz or anything...it's a poll, so feel free to explain your opinions.

The Sky Sanctuary Poll is updated every Saturday, which means that two new questions will be posted and the results to the previous weeks poll will be displayed. I guess that covers it, so dig in!

Last time...


Here are the results to last week's Sonic poll, "Did you get Sonic R yet?":
********************************************************
Why......why, whyyyyyy do you torture those people who are going to get an N64 for Christmas because of their little brothers, Gibbon!?! ACK! Stop torturing me with these Saturn Questions! ~JM Stalker [Oh, an N64 is great, but you're never going to be able to play Sonic R on it...ever...*GG! laughs insanely*]

No. -Jim Doe [*GG! whacks Jim upside the head* Well, what's your excuse, hmmmm?]

Yep. [Good boy.]

Of Course I did. I'm the guy who has it but doesn't have the system. Now I have Nights with the 3D controller but no Saturn. It's all my clever plot to force mt parents into buying the system for me. -- Ecco The Dolphin [Take my advice...don't trust parents for videogames. If it's a book, a board game, or clothes, that's fine. But they never get games right...]

Nope. [*GG! whacks whoever wrote that upside the head* Would you elaborate on that, please?]

Yes. [Good boy.]

Kind of. [Kind of? How can you "kind of" own Sonic R?!]

No.... [Look people, when a cop asks you if you've got drugs on you, you don't just say "yes" without defending yourself! You had all better hope you have darn good excuses when I come knocking on your door (packing heat) to ask you a few...questions...]

Sorta... [Elaborate, darnit! I'm psycho, not psychic!]

I did! And I played it out in a day, with all emeralds and characters. Bummmmmmmmmmmer. But good, still. [Good boy.]

No *sniff* I don't have a Saturn. And I'm going nuts trying to decide weather or not to get a Saturn or wait for the Dural. [Well, if you had gotten your Saturn sooner, you wouldn't have this problem. But nooooo, now you've got to hold out for the Dural, and you're never going to be able to play the original NiGHTS, Sonic R, or Burning Rangers. Serves you right...]

WHY DO YOU ASK THESE QUESTIONS?!?! NOT EVERYONE HAS $230 IN THEIR POCKET!!!!! I HAVE TO WAIT 'TILL DEC 25, OOOOOKAAAAAAAAAAYY???? [$250?! It's $150, ya schnook! It hasn't been $250 for two years! You people just don't know how to save. I currently have $120 on my person, and THEN I just bought five games two weeks ago!]

No, but if I don't get it for Christmas, I'll buy it with my first paycheck of '98. [Never too late to make amends. Good boy.]

Heck, I don't even have a Saturn! But Christmas is almost here, so I'm crossin' my fingers... [Now think about this...didn't you also wish for a Saturn last year and the year before? And you didn't get it, huh? Do you know why? 'Cause you've been a bad boy, stupid! You need a Saturn to get on Santa's good list. Shame on you...]

I don't have any Sega system. But I've tried it at my local mall! It ruled!!!! :) [Okay, so what's your excuse? Hm? Those systems in the malls are for casual gamers and little kids! You're not a cursed casual gamer, are you? Hmm? Well? I'm waaaiiitiiing...]

Yeeeeessssssss! It rules! [Good boy.]

Well, considering I'm at a college out in the middle of NOWHERE with NO MODE OF TRANSPORTATION and a THREE HOUR WALK to the nearest place which could even REMOTELY carry the game... no. Can you forgive me? [Forgive you?! Don't go fishin' for sympathy from me! I'm ashamed of you! What are you doing wasting your time in college in the first place? Get your mind out of the gutter and back into videogames where it belongs!]

This question discriminates all those who do not yet have a Saturn System. Therefore...I refuse to answer it. I will sing a song instead: i'm a sega girl/ in a sega world/ life in plastic/ it's fantastic/ i can make sonic spin/ turn around and see knux grin/ imagination/ it's all your creation! There. isn't that better than Barbie? --Moon [Okay...suppose you tell us why you don't already own a Saturn, hmm?]

18 hours to go!! (I'm getting it tommorrow (Wednesday) for my birthday) Can I wait that long? [So I guess you have it by now, huh? Good boy.]

No! A humble 14-year-old like myself, a.k.a. Popcorn, has only 42 pence to spend at this moment in time (er, I don't know how much that is in the American currency, sorry)! You can see I'm not a great saver. I can just hope my mum (mom to you lot =)) takes the hint and gets me it for Xmas... [Christmas, Christmas, Christmas! Get a clue, people! It ain't gonna happen unless you make it! Like the song goes, "...We have to make it what we want, just you and me and everybody! Work it out, work it out, think about it! Work it out, work it out, talk about it! Work it out, work it out, make it happen! Let's work it out, work it out; we've got to make it real, we've got to make it real! We've got to make it real, we've got to make it real!...]

What's Sonic R? [*GG! obliterates without blinking whoever wrote that last reply*]

Well, duh!!!!!!! [So izzat a yes or a no?]


Now, here's why you should lock your doors at night:
*********************************************************
Aarrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... *voice fades* y-y-you pressssed the p-power button.....*springs back to life* Hahahaaa! See? Power buttons do NOT kill me! Now go worship Sailor Moon and the Gold Ranger! Move along move along.... [Forget the Gold Ranger, but uh...heh, heh, I'll take Sailor Moon...]

And now for...The Upper-Class Twit of the Year Competition! [What a stupid contest! Geez, I mean, there's no way I could lose! All the other contestants would be wasting their time. So forget it, and just give the grand prize to me right now.]

GACK! The only weakness to Sailor Moon and Power Rangers fans...if their's one thing I can't stand.... it's...REFERENCES TO MONTY PYTHON!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....*voice fades, then turns into a shrubbery* [Who's Monty Python?]

Ni! Ni! Nnnnnnnnnnnni! [*GG! scratches his head, and then has a disgusted look* Hey, take it somewhere else, people! We ain't gonna have any of that in the Green Hill Zone!]

Frizzledrop! What do YOU know, anyway?! [Well, I don't know what frizzledrop means...]

I'm - err. I hafta' finish NiGHTS arg!

OH YES!! CAN YOU SEE, THE SUN IS SHINING ON ME! IT MAKES ME FEEL SO FREE, SO ALIVE, IT MAKES ME WANT TO SURVIVE!!! [And the sky, it makes me feel so high! The bad times pass me by, 'cause today, it's gonna be a brighter day! Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day? Don't you feel that sometimes you just need to run away? Reach out for the sunshine, forget about the rain! Just think about the good times, and they will come back again!...]

Hmm, nah, I got Donaldo's Day Out. Brilliant, I must say. Jonothan is incredible, shining as the lead.. I didn't know a boy could eat so many pancakes!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Oh, I didn't know they made a Saturn version to that game?]

Princess Vi: Daddy, can I have my own T.V. show? Emperor Fred: Fer-Red! Princess Vi: Thank you, daddy. [Well, of course he had to say that, otherwise he'd end up on Prisoner's Island. Which really isn't such a bad place to be, but only the Pizza Cats know that...]

Polly: Don't I look hot in this outfit? Francine: You look super-sexy Polly! Tramp. [I think that was my favorite moment in Pizza Cats history...]

When I say "Boom Boom Boom" you say "Bam Bam Bam" No pause in between, now let's jam! [Step on the gas, now step on the brake! Now step on the brake, and step on the gas!]

(BH! quickly runs away into a bomb shelter locks it and wraps chains around it.) SONIC R IS DEMOCRATIC! BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I FEEL SO ALIVE! --Blue Hog! (Help GG! that's not me! I'M the real Hog! Help....me....must...speck in...fragments!....Yellow.....mystical .....TOILET!) --Blue Hog! (Are you confused yet?) [No, actually, that's about the most intellectual response to this week's poll so far...]

I am the real Blue Gorilla, fool! And I am immortal, so your "crisping" me didn't do anything. But lets see about you....*puls out a flamethrower and torches GG* [*GG! gets torched to a crisp and falls into a pile of ashes on the ground* Darn you, it's Christmas! Not Ash Wednesday!]

Can you see? The sun is shinin' on me...LOL! [Waitaminute, we already did this one! Let's do something else. *Sometimes I ask myself, what am I doing here? I think of all the reasons, but it's still not clear. I look at places to go, there's nothing near. So take me away from this 'cause this place I'll hardly miss! So take me back in time, to another world! Where you can be mine, we don't have to worry! When you're by my side, there's nothing I don't know! There's nothing to decide, apart from where we want to go!...*]


Here are the results for last week's videogame poll, "Of all the videogame villians, who's the baddest of the bad?":
Robotnik: 6 votes
Wizeman: 4 votes
Metal Sonic: 3 votes
Other: 4 votes

Metal Sonic, DEFINATELY!!! --D-H Sonic F [Ooh, yeah! So bad he's cool!]

Jason Voorhees! Yep, they made Friday the 13th into a vidgame a looong time ago for the NES, and I had it! Even though the game itself sucked hard rocks, Jason just plain ROCKED! He was nothing as cool as his movie persona, but he could STILL kick all those other vidgame bad guys' arses. No contest. -Jim Doe [Jim, you are a sick deer...]

Wizeman, then Robotnik, then Bowser.

Robotnik... as in, Eggman. Yes, EGGMAN, not ROBOTNIK! BOO ON ROBOTNIK! YAY FOR EGGMAN!!!!! [Whatsa difference?]

Umm, well, either Buttnik or Wizeman. It can't be Bowser because all he is is a giant turtle! [Well, all Robotnik is is a bald egg freak, but atleast he's got a genious IQ...]

PETER!! PETER IS THE WORST!!!! HE'S.... *slaps herself* MAN! I need to get off the computer for awhile.... um, wizeman. And Robotnik. I DON'T KNOW!!!! It's a tie between them, OKAY???? [Wizeman is more evil than Robotnik anyday! Robotnik's just insane, but Wizeman's plain evil!]

How could you ASK such a question?! The answer is obvious! Sephi-roth! Sephi-roth! *JM starts singing One-Winged Angel* Estuans interius, Ira vehementi, Estuans interius, Ira vehementi! Sors immanis, Et inanis, Sors immanis, Et inanis! Veni, veni, venias, Ne me mori facias, Veni, veni, venias, Ne me mori facias! Karyuu no hane kata! SEPHI-ROYJ!!!!!! SEPHI-ROTH!!!!!! *JM bursts out laughing* How's that? Ah ha ha! *Acutally I got it from a website, but it's still impressive, no? ~JM Stalker [I agree! Definitely Sephiroth. I've seen alot of videogame bad guys ranging from egg-shaped scientists, to nightmare beings, to other-worldly gods, and Sephiroth tops 'em all on the evil scale. Definitely.]

Eggman and Wizeman! I beat NiGHTS Yahoo! *song gets stuck in Bo's brain- no, there is no brain, uh- HEAD!* In the NiGHTS, Dream delgiht...

M-Sonic! [Yup, after Sephiroth, he comes in second. Either him or Zophar, I dunno... It would be Ghaleon, but he doesn't win for a reason I can't say without spoiling something. (But Ghaleon is unarguably the coolest villian I know of...)]

I think Robotnik is the most, bad, evil villain out of all video game villains combined! :)

Robotnik, and BTW, about the Elliot Edwards thing, I wear my watch on my right wrist, but I'm right-handed, therefore, Elliot could actually be left-handed... [Ya schnook, you're supposed to be wearing it on your opposite hand! Or if you're like me and can't remember which hand you use, just tape it to your forehead.]

Hmm... the absolute worst? I'd have to go with Hojo. No, NOT Sephiroth, even though he is the final enemy in Final Fantasy VII. Think about it: Hojo is responsible for just about everything that happens in the game. He created Sephiroth, he began experimenting with Mako to produce Sephiroth clones, he killed Vincent and brought him back drastically changed, he captured Aeris and Red XIII, he killed Professor Gast and badly wounded Aeris's mother... he's the driving force behind the game. At least Sephiroth has a decent grudge to settle... but it's actually with Hojo, or at least on account of Hojo's machinations, that he goes off the deep end and starts plotting to destroy the world. And the irony of it all is... Hojo dies before it's all over. --Glazius (aka Falcon LXX of Cosmo Canyon) [Naw, Hojo's just plain insane. I still go with Sephiroth, if for the sole reason of what he did to Aeris...*sniff*...]

Mario is [I knew it! The rumors are true! He's a member of the Mafia, idn't he? The Mafia of the Mushroom Kingdom! I hear that Luigi is not his brother at all, but a government agent following Mario's reign of terror oper innocent little Goombas and Koopas. Luigi was always cooler anyway...]

Sonic is! Uh...I mean Metal Sonic...yeah, that's it. Metal Sonic. Sure. All right. I'm just gonna leave before I get myself in trouble. --Moon [Sonic? Well, y'know, there's got to be something evil about a blue hedgehog...]

Robotnik definitely. He's mega evil, I mean, who would want to trash a cool planet like Mobius and kill Sonic? (I actually know some people who'd like to kill Sonic but that's beside the point..) [Kill Sonic? Where are they?! Lemme at 'em, lemme at 'em! I'll splat 'em! Puppy Power!]

Er. Weeell. Bowser is out of the question. Robotnik (Archie version) runs a close second, but Wizeman is baddest. However, if it were the Fleetway/Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog version wer'e talking about here... he rates last. As with the video game version of ole bucket bonce, he still comes second.


This is what bored hardcore gamers do with their time:
***********************************************************
Forget any of those - Donaldo is the baddest of the bad! He is Jonothan Pears' evil adversary, who fires pancakes at the poor boy, who must deflect them with his trusty frying pan! It's an incredible premise!

Crazy cows just keep on comin'! They're CRAAAAAAAAZY!

Bill Clinton. Now I know you saw THAT one coming! --Blue Hog! [Which game was he in? That really cool Democrat-beating game that someone mentioned a few weeks ago? I've got that game on special reserve!]

In the nights, dream delight, I want to see you standing there. In the nights, dream delight, I want to see your smile again... [I'd sing along, but I'm busy listening to the Sonic R tunes again. I am now on "Work it Out", the track for the Reactive Factory Zone. I can't dream when I'm working it out!]

On a Sunday ridin' my bike , I notice, I noitice, different things that look alike! [Ditto...]

Get up now, it's time to spin now, we got a real jam goin' down... [Oh, ya schnook! You've got it all wrong! "Everybody get up it's time to spin now! We got a real jam going down, welcome to the Sonic Jam (Sonic Jam)! Do your thing, grab that ring at the Sonic Jam! Past cool!" Sheesh...]

10,10, let's go again, 9,9, Don't fall behind, 8,8, say don't be late 7,7 destination heaven! 6,5, so stay alive! 4,3, It's you and me! 2,1, We're gonna' have fun say BLASToFF... ...A cosmic zoom heads up Jake, it's SONIC BOOM! Sonic Jam forever! * In your mind you will see Cosmic Eternity!!* [Well, atleast make up your mind...]

If you're strong you can fly, you can reach the other side of the rainbow, it's allright, take a chance, cause there is no circumstance that you can't handle, when you use your mind! [Sonic Booooooom, Sonic Booooooooom, Sonic Booooooom...]

Carmen Sandiego! [Hey...where on earth is she, anyway? And her accomplice, Waldo?]

The Big Cheese! In that episode where Polly and Lucille look super-sexy, Big Cheese has the best singing. Gee, maybe he could burn my house down. That might actually be fun. [Well, if I had to get my house burned down, I can't think of anyone who I'd rather have start the fire than the Big Cheese...]

I have no idea........ want some sugar? [*Possessed Spam blows up all over whoever wrote that last reply*]

You are, bad boy! [Oh, yeah, you know it!]

Screw video game bad guys, the worst villan of all is Jerry Springer

About the music in Sonic R...do you love it or hate it?

Gaming...is it getting better, or are we slipping into a rut?
