Sky Sanctuary Poll

Welcome to the Sky Sanctuary Poll. Scroll on down to the bottom, and there will be a link that leads you to 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, "Spencer Nilsen, Richard Jaques, or 'Dreams Come True', who is the king of Sonic music?":
********************************************************
Spencer Nilsen: 5 votes
Dreams Come True: 5 votes
Richard Jaques: 4 votes

What do you mean, "Spencer Nilsen, Richard Jacques, or "Dreams Come True""? EVERYBODY forgets that it wasn't just Spencer Nilsen who made the Sonic CD soundtrack, it was David West too!! That poor man! He is so neglected! I feel so sorry for him, for the Net community as a whole have forgotten him. WAH!!!!!!!!!!! [But it was composed, arranged, and produced by Nilsen. Infact, I don't recall seeing any "David West" in the credits at all...]

Richard Jacques, I'm afraid. His Sonic 3D soundtrack was immensely ace, and the Rusty Ruin Zone has quite possibly the best BGM in any Sonic game, ever. [You're afraid of Richard Jaques?]

Forget ALL of them.. Brad Buxter of S&K fame is the best. His Sky Sanctuary tune makes me weep, as does the S&K theme. Oh, woe is me.

Hmm.. Dreams Come True's soundtrack basically sounded just like Sonic 1's... :(
But it was still by FAR the best Sonic soundtrack. :D

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I think.. Spencer. Cool guitars, man.

SONIC TEAM! Or whoever does the music for them. Maybe that's Richard Jaques. And why did you put "Dreams Come True" in quotes? (Though the way I said that was odd, "And why did you put Dreams Come True in quotes" ain't grammatical...) --D-H Sonic F [Okay, here's how it works. As you probably already know, the earliest herald(ing?) of the Great Blue One's coming was on the side of tour busses for the Japanese pop band, "Dreams Come True". In Sonic 2, they got someone from "Dreams Come True" to compose the music for the game. Spencer Nilsen composed the American Sonic CD soundtrack, as well as several other Sega CD titles. Richard Jaques composed the widely-acclaimed Saturn Sonic 3D Blast music, as well as the love-it/hate-it Sonic R soundtrack.]

That's easy, T.J. Davis! -- J.N. [Yeah, but she only sang. Of course, if Rich sings as bad as he writes lyrics, the world is probably better off if he sticks to composing...]

1. TIE: "Dreams Come True" and Spencer Nilsen, (Sonic Boom rules!) 2. Richard Jaques This counts under real vote (Because I'm about as funny as a rock, well, one that doesn't look weird...) -- Megalosaurus

Spencer Nilsen. His songs are really good and are in Ecco The Dolphin.

Richard Jaques!!! Most definately!! ::Sings "You're My Hero" over and over and over again::

Hands down Jaques, super geek boy never had a chance :)

"I love ALL Sonic music!! Me being the GREATEST Sonic fan in history. No but, if you forced me on pain of death to pick someone, I'd go for Spencer Nilsen. [Har, har, har! You can honestly look me in the face and claim that you are the greatest Sonic fan?! Why, I know more about Sonic than Sonic does!]

Dreams Come True!!!!!! ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!! THAT WAS THE BEST MUSIC EVER IN A SONIC GAME!!!!!! Mystic Caves! Ending Theme! Last Boss! Yeahhhh! It's all good!! If only I could find a Sonic 2 CD.... -- ~JM Stalker

DUH..........SPENCER NEASON OR UH THAT CHEF.................. -- ~PeRrY da PlAtYpUs [Nilsen, DEFINITELY Nilsen...]

Uh... they're all great! So good in fact, that I tape Sonic music and listen to it on my stereo when I can't play the games, but I'd say Richard Jaques as those songs are sooo cool! [I used to do that, but I since the CD systems came along, all I have to do is pop the game disc into the stereo and skip past the first track.]

Well, since Nilsen composed the American Sonic CD music, it royally sucks and since I have no idea who Jacques Cousteau or whatever the hoo-ha his name is I can't comment on him, BUT I like Dreams Come True So My Vote Goes For It. [Richard Jaques composed the music for the Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic R.]

Dreams Come True! The music in Sonic 2 is AWESOME!!!!


Now, here's why you should lock your doors at night:
*********************************************************
GG!.. I'm afraid to inform you... I ate Honey. [Yeah, so did I. I mix it with the peanut butter and...waitaminute! What are you, some kinda perverse cannibal?! *sob* Oh, my dear sweet Honey... *sob*]

TJ Davis. *licklick* *SKERRRRRR-RATCH!!!!* [*sob*]

Oh, sorry! I meant to say "I hate Oney"!!! Sorry! Hope I didn't get you worried, there! [.....oh. Uh...I knew that. I did. *ahem*]

The power's in your mind to shave the planet to conquer ti-i-i-i-i-i-ime, Toot Toot Sonic Warrior, dip your specs in time, Toot Toot Sonic Warrior, flavour in your mind, nothing can survive the way you sterilise cause if you try you can do anything! [Did you ever notice how everyone has a different version of those lyrics, and none of 'em make any freaking sense?]

I am NOT late! I'm ALWAYS on time! -- Del [You shouldn't be. It's almost never worth it.]

Lemme get this straight... you don't know who ADAM SANDLER IS??!!! Why, he's just the only person to ever be funnier than Weird Al, THAT'S who he is! [Don't be ridiculous. I'M the only person ever to be funnier than Weird Al.]

Richard Nilson.

I've never really heard any Sonic music, but "Dreams Come True" sounds like a good choice. And in responce to the "Who is this 'Sally'?", she's a squirrel who apparently has had her tail aputated, and if you need some sort of personality, just think of Sonic as 'Hans Solo' and Sally as 'Princess Leia'. And just for the record, she and 'Bunnie Rabbot', a half robotisized southern rabbit, were featured in Sonic Spinball. Guess you're not the video game expert you thought you were. -- Signed, Kami, a cat who wants to be able to write Sonic fanfic, but feels like GG! on that matter. I need to warn people first!) [Hm...I think I saw them in the game, but how do you know that's who they are? Their names certainly weren't given anywhere... I could also point out that there were way more than seven Emeralds in Spinball, and they were all the same freaking color. I think at that time, SoA was trying to mesh the game world with the comic & cartoon world, but pulled the plug after realizing that the those two continuities were ultimately expendable. The game was still pretty fun, though, and I'm still waitin' for a flipping Sonic Spinball 2...]

It's um, sonic boom..*having bad flash-backs to the sonic r questions* Oh, um, it's uh...screw this where's mah Shania Twain cd? -- Moon [Okay, so who's Shania Twain? Geez, will you people quit bringing up all these crazy foreign names?!]

Sailor Evil: You will never be as cute as k.t.e. and k.a. NEVER. You lack the five-year-old cuteness. And besides, evil people aren't supposed to be cute. They're sexy. It draws the attention of the hero away from his task of saving the world. [It works, too. Believe me. After one glance at Xenobia, I didn't give a flying flip about the stupid world...]

Help me!!!! I don't know which button to press to make the question answer go!!!! [Gee, I guess you found it, huh?]

I thought of something funny. Snively is not a Sonic Team Creation. He's a Dic creation. That means GG! works for a dic creation!!!!! NOW THAT'S FUNNY!!!! [How dare you suggest the Great Lord Snively is ANYONE'S creation?! He's real! I know, 'cause I work for him.]

the cute wittle green foxie would [I'm a gibbon. I look like a fox, but that's a by-product of that "Party" me and Spam try not to talk about...]

Hey! Whoever said in that last poll that Chumbawamba's music WAS popular should die! NOW! CHUMBAWAMBA SHALL NEVER DIE! HAHAHA! And I stand by my opinion that Mario does seam a bit...odd? -- BH! [And I stand by my opinion that you seem a bit...odd...]

Whoever wrote in the last poll that Chumbawamba was popular couple months ago your wrong! IT WILL REMAIN ON THE TOP CHARTS FOREVER! IT STILL IS ON THE TOP 20 LIST AFTER 20 WEEKS! #12! HAHA! THEY WILL GO ON FOREVER! HAHAHAHAA! And I still stand by my opinion that Mario is....odd.... -- BH! [And I still stand by my opinion that you are...odd...]

Well, my friend (the 2nd one who voted Aeris and Cloud) thought that Cloud and Barret would be the cutest couple. That's strange, but oddly funny.....do you not think? -- ~JM Stalker [Of course I do not think. I also do not believe that Barret and Cloud would get along so well...]

So, what happened to the other 60 Zeldas? Well, Zeldas 1 and 2 were made for Nintendo. Z3 was made for Super NES, and Z4 was made for Game Boy. 5, the Ocarina of Time, is going to be released for the Nintendo 64. So, like all unoriginal people, it would supposedly join 80% of N64 Games and have "64" tacked on it. Shigeru and the Crew probably wanted to leave the 64 category, so they renamed it the "Ocarina of Time." I think the Ocarina makes a cool sound. I can play that instrument. :P The other 60 Zeldas simply didn't exist, though I wish they would have.... ~JM Stalker, Semi-Knowledgable Zelda Guy [I don't. Can you imagine how rotten 60 Zelda's rushed into a ten year span would be?]

Greeney,deary,you forgot to pack some clean underwear when you left.i tryed calling you,but the phoneline was bizzy.gramps says a cute girl named Honey said im lame what does lame mean deareey? love Grandma Gibbon.PS:here is a picture of your teddy.he misses you.- + oops thats juuust his eyes... [It's an imposter! I don't have a grandma! *Grandma, please! You're embarrassing me!*]

Its comeing its coming the Disk Drive with all of its funtions it will blow everything else away GG just think a clock is inside of it when you are playing your RPG It goes from day to night in the game as it goes from day to night outside Its the Death Nell for our beloved Saturn but Its comeing YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED -- the Apostle [Actually, the Saturn has an internal clock, but the only game to utilize it to its full potential was Christmas NiGHTS.]

OOOOH! SIIILY PUUUUUTY! COME EAT THE SIIIILY PUUUUUTY GG! IT GOOD!! TASTE LIKE SILLY PUTTY! [...]

Who is this JM Stalker guy? That's a creepy stalker-type name. [You're telling me. Especially considering 'JM' are my RL initials...]

beans, beans, the musical fruit. the more you eat, the more you toot. The more you too, the better you feel. I... DON'T EAT BEANS AT EVERY MEAL!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! [Me neither, I hate beans. But I sure do miss the gas...gets rid of unwanted relatives and salesmen.]

None! They all suck! The new Sonic games need someone who can play music. So I have came up with a multiple choice for you.
A: Marylin Manson
B: Aerosmith
C: Metallica
D: Polka king Freddy Yankovic
E: A man on a guitar messed up on Drano cookies [Okay, the only name I recognize outta that list is E...]

Everyone knows that all villianesses have ultra lift bras, GG!. It's part of the costume. And it's not necessarily the size of the chest, as it is all the stuff that they store in those bras. Guns, knives, rope, whips, other evil things. I'm just telling you this so you aren't bitterly disappointed one day. [On the contrary...now I'm more interested than ever! Guns, knives, rope, whips...do you know all the, er..."interesting" things that could be done with that assortment?... Can't wait to come across Xenobia again in Lunar Silver Star Complete...]

DCT. Spencer Neilsen will die 1000 deaths by my hands for flucking up the US Sonic CD. >:P [Gee, I thought he did a pretty good job, myself...]

GG!.. please.. I'm beggin' ya.. I sent you a mail eight days ago, and have eagerly awaited a response with each passing day.. and none has arrived... PLEASE, GG!.. you're killing me! My soul has been shattered and its fragments scattered throughout the land.. I need a response!! PLEASE!!!!!!! :( [Ah...you have to understand me and E-mail. We don't get along. I'll get around to replying one of these years...hopefully this evening.]


Here are the results for last week's videogame poll, "Shigeru Miyamoto vs. Yuji Naka vs. Yu Suzuki...who would win in a fight? (Translation: Who is the game god of game gods?)":
Yuji Naka: 14 votes
Shigeru Miyamoto: 6 votes
Yu Suzuki: 1 vote

Yuji Naka. He'd throw bricks at the other two, and dance gaily around the room, screaming in an absurd manner.

Look at Sonic. Look at Mario. Who's fatter? Exactly. So, Yuji wins. :D

Yuji Naka!!!! He rocks!!

YUJI NAKA!!! GO YUJI, GO YUJI, GO, GO, GO, GO!!!

HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE COOLNESS OF THE SONIC TEAM?!? uhh, Yuji Naka. This is sort of a useless question 'cause Yuji is obviously the coolest. -- D-H Sonic F P.S. Well, if this was a Fighters Megamix match, the victor would be hands down Yu Suzuki. P.P.S. Yuji Naka's nickname is Yu2, so I wonder if that has any links to Yu Suzuki. [Of course he does! Their paychecks are both signed by the same guy...]

Why, that would be the creator or the Blue Blur himself, Yuki Naka! ) -- J.N.

Yuji Naka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd say Mr. Miyamoto, however, since your site seems to be heavily pro-sega, I'm willing to wager a dead chicken that I'm the minority. [Well, it's a Sonic Team site, but I try to keep things unbiased. If you'd like to talk about all three consoles, come join me and EG in the Hidden Palace Forum! We'd love the company!]

Yuji Naka, DUH!

Mr Miyamoto would win he would grab a flower and start shooting fireballs at evrybody then he would start jumping on peoples heads you cant run from that -- Clarence33 PS thanks Im eating my brand new Drano Cookie right now

Yuji Naka

Yuji Naka. He's so cool. Even though he didn't create Sonic he's awesome because he's like the 2nd creator. [Actually, Naka-sama and Ohshima-sama worked together to create the character Sonic. From there, the talents split into two different directions, but the character Sonic is a dual creation.]

YUJI NAKA 4 EVER!!!!!!!!!!

Yuji Naka!!!!! Bow before him!

At this point I would have to say Shigeru Miyamoto but it's really not a fair comparison since Yuji Naka's so much younger. Miyamoto has TONS of legendary series under his belt like The Mario series, Zelda series, Metriod series, Star Fox series, PilotWings, Mario Kart series, and The (soon to be) F-Zero Series. Who can match that lineup? Yuji Naka is no doubt off to a great start with Sonic, Nights, and (soon to be) Burning Rangers but he has alot of catching up to do first. And don't get me started on Yu Suzuki, his games may be great but compared to the others his games lack orginality to make them stand out (even if they do somewhat advance current genres). [You disrespect the mighty Yu Suzuki! *GG! blows a whistle, when Shun-di and Honey show up, and look a tad peeved...*]

Please don't hammer me into the ground if I say Miyamoto - he's been in the business longest after all. [Why's everyone think Miyamoto's a hated man in the GHZ?! On the contrary, with all due respect to Naka-sama and Suzuki-sama, Miyamoto-sama gets my vote too, and I'll explain farther down.]

YUJI NAKA! 19-65-09-17! Bo!

Ok, Shigeru made the Mario, Star Fox, and Zelda games. Yuji made the Sonic games. Yu made......which ones?!?!? If Yu is the Final Fantasy Guy, he's tied with Shigeru and Yuji. Those three are the allmighty rulers of each of their respective systems. If Yu didn't make Final Fantasy, then he stinks! I don't know about his games! Nyah Nyah! -- ~JM Stalker [No! Yu Suzuki only produced the legendary Virtua Fighter series, that's all! Not to mention Fighting Vipers, Daytona USA, Virtua Cop, and a billion other hit arcades! Oy, the disrespect in this room disgusts me...]

Yuji Naka!

Suzuki-sama! By far! Suzuki-sama wa KAMI! He gave me my precious Lion and the bliss that is VF3, so I worship the ground he walks upon. ^_^ (I'm the insane girl who drew the Honey and the Chocobo pic for your shrine BTW.) [Finally! I knew I couldn't be the only one around here! So you must be Zero, huh? I've also seen your art at SaturnWorld and Dragon's Honey CG Shrine. Awesome stuff! Of course, it's still not as scary as that "Bahn Mario" pic I drew out of utter boredom the other day...]

[Okay, now it's MY turn! Although I have immense respect for Yu Suzuki, who's flagship Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA piqued my interest in fighters and racers for the first time; and Yuji Naka is my role-model and created the game that changed my life, Sonic the Hedgehog; I'd have to say my vote for game-god goes to Shigeru Miyamoto. Although Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and the others never had as profound an effect on me as Yuji Naka's creations did, the fact remains that Shigeru Miyamoto decidedly created the genres. Sonic wouldn't be Sonic if Mario hadn't first defined what a platformer was. Even in the new 3D era, it took Miyamoto's infinite know-how to set the standard with Mario 64. Where there were previously fumbled attempts like Bug! and the lost Sonic X-Treme, it took Miyamoto to step in and say: "You morons! THIS is how it's done!" GameLand owes more to Miyamoto-sama than anyone else. So nyah.]


This is what bored hardcore gamers do with their time:
***********************************************************
Hmm.. NOT Yu Suzuki. That guy thinks that just 'cause he has a surname like a motorbike, he's automatically cool. Well, he's WRONG!! AM2 make really pooey games, at least compared to AMs 1 and 3. But oh well, I digress. [That was meant to be sarcastic, right? Either that or Shun and Honey are still mad...]

Yuji Naka. I mean, anyone who can Naka (knacker) someone must be pretty tough, y'know? HO, HUM!!!! [It's bad enough I had to leave puns on the "allowable" list, but it's even worse when I don't get them...]

You mean an all-out real fight?...Miyamoto would unleash Mario's butt stomp along with Link's sword-handling skills in the ring, but Naka does have NiGHTS' paraloop and the weapons of the Burning Rangers and Suzuki can apply Jeffry's Splash Mountain and the the killer moves of the Vipers...The Sega boys would probably team-up (a la X-Men Vs. Street Fighter) to waste Miyamoto but after that...I'll leave it up in the air... -- from Frosty the Ice Man of Sega Threads [You forgot the Sonic Spin!!! Yuji Naka can do the Sonic Spin!]

Q: Why do blondes use white-out on their computer screens?
A: They couldn't find their eraser. [Har, har, har! I'm pathetic, I know, but I'm a total stickler for dumb blonde jokes! Uh-oh...I think I hear Sarah Bryant and Lemina Ausa coming to get me...the question is should I run for my life or die a very pleasant death?...]

The story concerns a butcher who went into a petshop. It seems he fell in love with one the seabirds in the shop. Alas, he had no money to spend, but the shop owner agreed to give him the bird in exchange for some of that delicious German sausage. The deal was made. It seems he took a tern for the wurst!! [They're all gonna be after ME for that one...]

Metal Sonic: did you find the sailor scout outfit? Metal Knuckles: yes, but we will have to get the GG! Doll to take it off first. GG! Doll: NO! It's MINE!!!! I WANNA WEAR IT!!! Metal Sonic: What do we do now? Metal Knuckles: Just leave him here. The Green Gibbon! can fight him for it. Metal Sonic: Should we shall tickets for that event? [No problem, I can just borrow Sailor Evil's! Sure, we can switch clothes. Of course, it happens to be total coincidence that I am wearing nothing but gloves and sneakers...]

*gives GG! a hug* I'm not tryin to be mean. I just have a hard time tellin when you're joking and when you're serious. If I had known you meant it, I wouldn't have laughed in your face. I would have waited till you were gone. -- Moon [Gee, thanks...]

You may continue to dress in drag, GG!. But when you dress up as a Spice Girl and sing in a grad fashion/talent show, I'll be concerned. {Some gr. 12 guys I know did.} [Nope, I only dress in drag when it's as a cute anime girl. You should've seen how cute I looked in my Sue (from Grandia) costume! I've got an Emi (from Fighting Vipers 2) costume all set up, but I'm having trouble finding a giant cyborg teddy bear...]

Sailor Evil: You'd like it if I beat you up? Really? OKAY! CHAOS BLAST DESTROY!!!! [Sure, 'cause you can beat me up to infinity! I'm immortal, remember? And I'm rather enjoying this!]

the cute wittle green foxie is [Not yet, but I will be! I might be the first American game-god! First, there was Miyamoto. Then, there was Naka. Next, there was Suzuki. But is the world ready for Gibbon!...]

Well I hear Yuji Naka packs a mean burning dragon fist but Miyamoto's spinning triple lutz neck kick can do some MAJOR damage. But in all honesty I don't think either of them could survive a head on collision with a Suzuki going about 120 mph, they may be Gaming Gods but they don't get 30 miles to the gallon... [If I hear another car joke degrading the great name of Suzuki, I will call Mahler and Janet Marshall to join Shun and Honey, and then it won't be all fun & games anymore...]

Miyanaka vs. Shuzinaka vs. Yumiyuji? Your asking the wrong person here. But I know who is the god of the world of not just games but the world!!! DUSTIN HOFFMAN! HAHA! ALL MY MESSAGES MUST END IN CAPS LOCK AND EXCLEMATION POINTS!! -- Bh!!! [So did your parents, I imagine, when you were born...]

Hey, Double G man! You said you didn't know who Adam Sandler was! Well, Adam Sandler is a comedian/musician. He first started out on Saturday Night Live, and then he got famous, and began to do movies! He's really cool, you should rent one of his movies sometime! One of his friends said that if he didn't get into comedy, he'd be a rock and roll star! And no, he's of no relation to Sally.) -- J.N. [Oh. Any relation to Bunnie, then?]

GG IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I SAW HIS NAME ON THE CREDITS FOR FFVII AND SONIC R AND SONIC JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(who ever gg! is.) -- ~PeRrY da PlAtYpUs [It is?! *GG! leaves for awhile, then returns* No it isn't! I think you're mistaking me for "Special Thanks". Man, I don't know who he is, but he's in the credits of EVERY stinking game I've ever played!]

Me? Steal your Tails Doll? You've GOT to be kidding! I don't horde ANY Tails Dolls, I can't get my hands on them! Though I know someone who would know someone who would......Sailor Evil! She's got a thing for weird foxes.... -- ~JM Stalker [She does?....how about sick-minded gibbons that look like weird foxes?...]

Gamegod? Gibboneater! All worship the Gibboneater!!!!!!! [And be sure to bring flowers to put on his grave when you go.]

my mommy. my mommy can beat up yo mommy any day! [I don't have a mommy! And even if I did, she wouldn't hurt much, but man she would yell really loud...]

Oh GG! *clears her throat and tries to sound selfish and arrogant* Congratulations! You're a winner! Now for your skill-testing question! Remember: this is all that stands between you and the pizza party at Samuri Pizza Cats Parlor for you and all your GHZ friends! Now, the question is: *drum roll please* What pizza cat is often seen falling of a bridge at the end of the episodes? *points to a big LCD clock* Hurry it up Speedy! Your time's almost up! [Ooh! Ooh! I know that! Uh...Lucille...NO! Um... Guru Lou! NO, NO! Uh...SPEEDY! Yeah, that's it, Speedy! Am I right?!]

None on them! They couldn't win in a sissy slap fight. Only I Chicken Man could win CLUCK CLUCK! Now I must leave. There seems to be an egg in my pants CLUCK CLUCK. [Tifa and Scarlet got into a sissy slap fight. I rather enjoyed it...heh, heh...]

This will be the last message on the page. I forgive you, DG. We all get the urge to instantly kill sometimes.... [You're way too quick to forgive. You should've SEEN what he did to the great Rush Limbaugh that I didn't post incase there were any sensitive folks out there...]
