The 100 Mega Shock

:)

This is the first Sonic game I'll have bought since Sonic CD.

And FEAR was on sale, so I picked it up. Never played it before.

I think you've got my argumentation wrong. There's nothing wrong with starting out using AM. But it makes taking the easy way out more usual-- I started with AMap, too. The problem is, that many (not to say most, at least too many) people always ask for tools before they ask how it works.
And to your second queation: I haven't exactly said, that only pros would ever want to read or post anything there. The idea is, that hackers who want to develop something new come there. Before you can develop something yourself, you should first understand the "old" stuff, so I suppose the Tutorial-section would be best.
Furthermore, I didn't say, that you have to be a god of intelligence to be worth something in ROM hacking. :O ...Well, maybe it sounded a bit like that, right? I agree, you can create a good game without hacking the engine at all, and you can forget the game because of hacking the engine. How come you thought I wouldn't agree? I never said anything about the relationship of game design and hacking.

I'm not about to discuss that in the quick research thread, I just don't want to spam, y'know.
The Research and Development are IS for advanced hackers - or those who want to have what they developed. Why should I welcome anyone to hacking there? Just asking.
Oh, and btw. what you call an elitist way of view is just what I've learned from the German scene - which is kind of dying out because almost nobody researches something new, because most people who found AdvanceMap and the likes leave Hacking when they find out it is more than pressing colorful buttons. I think this is very sad and I don't want this to happen to the English scene.

But the important thing is, you do it like a boss.

Pessimist; You're doing it right.

May I join you on your quest to rule the world, or are you more of a solitary person that chooses to work alone?

*Biggest troll of 2011.

You should be proud. :D

That and you have a pretty good sense of humor.

as long as you are mainland/central scotland yes they do, don't talk to me like im an idiot.

in case of being shot for derailing that thread, i have looked online and because i live in a quite remote part of scotland itsbasically the same price once shipping is added -_- no bite me im not edible ty lol

hmm

I don't know you that well, but this made my day :)

-insert SBAHJ reference-

Hi.

Excuse me, in your competition, do I need to scratch-sprite everything?

That it is.

wow that video is hilarious. XD LMAOOOO

I just saw that you have competed in the WPC's before! So what type of sprite work do you enjoy doing?

That's better.

I don't even know what you just said right there. Learn to grammar.

All I did was say I liked your icon, bruh. No need to get snippy.

Hey, what's up? Just to let you know WPC is back up! I thought you'd be interested! in taking a look at it. Spread the word, I think alot of people have forgotten about it b/c it has been gone so long.
