Dear Aunt SpeedCricket

Post by Ocean11 »

Now that my productivity has gone also, I'd welcome some pointers on how to exceed the 55 mark.

I've found the best results come from having matey in the cabin with the windshield on. Counterintuitively, he doesn't seem to find being flung right over the wall onto his head particularly damaging. And although the sound effects are good, he isn't terribly harmed by being made the high speed filling of a wall and truck sandwich.

What gives? Advice please.

Sincerely,

Desperate

Ocean: I've found the best results by:
1. Making Little Ender sit on the hood.
2. Keep the windshield on
3. Put one ramp about halfway to the wall, dead center
4. Pump up the speed all the way

After some tweaking, this tends to get his wee wittle head stuck in the grill of the truck when it smashes him into the wall. The subsequent writhing in agony produces a good many points. I cracked the 110k mark yesterday during a teleconference using this method.

I also enjoyed flinging him over the wall; there should be a pool of dummy sharks on the other side of that wall, shouldn't there?

You have to read this picture from top-to-bottom, left-to-right...

Hmm, multitasking eh? That must command a high salary...

I've managed to get matey tangled up in the windshield as per the instructions, but not with a spectacular increase in damage. More research is called for.

On my evening run the other night, I played a version of this game, called 'Barrier Dismount'. In this game, a dumb little fellow runs down a dark street in the rain straight into a metal trestle barrier. I found that if he goes at nearly full speed, when his shins smash into the bottom bar, his arms get hooked under the top bar of the barrier so that he can't get them up in time to protect his face when he falls. This way it's actually quite easy to injure every major body part and come home with a very high damage score. This version also has excellent sound effects and matey has a wide range of expletives that he uses with no restraint at all.

Yes indeed, it pays to keep your eyes ahead when jogging in a new 'hood...

Woah, Ocean! 141k?!?
reporter: "Do you have any predictions for the dismount?"
Clubber: "Predictions? Painnnn."

I've given up on the scoring aspect and am try to create dismount art. Below are my 2 latest pieces entitled
1. "Upright Truck" (get the truck to end up balanced on it's back-end)
2. "Top of the Wall" (catapult Little Ender so that he ends up resting on the top of the wall)

I studied Goemon's first pic, then tweaked and tweaked some more. A nudge of the slider makes all the difference between 141k and 32k.

But I can see that Art is the way to go with this thing. I passed over some enobling and lyrical scenes in crass pursuit of the most damage to our hero. As he hung by his head from the grille and thrashed and then twitched for endless long minutes as 'my' score mounted, I actually began to feel guilt for what I had done.

Goemon, is that .... Microsoft PowerPoint that you used to jolly up your scenes? I'm really beginning to wonder just who you are.

Ocean: yeah, that's plain ole PowerPoint and some screenshot grabs. Pure 'n' simple. No mystery about who I am; it's just a slow work week 'cause of Obon.

I'm now wondering if it's possible to get the truck on the other side of the wall...

I just had an amazing realization....

I was dismounting at work yesterday on my celeron 1.2Ghz, with a lame ass graphix card, and then went home and used my juiced out 2.4ghz Radeon 9700 to do a little dismounting, and it was a completely different experience. It was faster, and easier to score higher. I was able to launch "mini-ender" completely over the wall! .... I'll post pictures tonight!

Lucky morning

Post by Ocean11 »

With my second try this morning, I managed to inflict 156180 worth of damage to the mid-sized gray. He just kept thrashing to and fro in the grille and wouldn't stop.
