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, "Which Zone has the best music?":

Ah, jeez, that's a hard one. Um . . . I don't know! I love 'em all! --Jim Doe

Ummm, Ahhh....let me see...ahh..*thinks really hard*. I can't pick one! Hey, wait! You stole my polling question for next week! [admin note: I sure did. When your back was turned, I snuck in your private papers and stole a whole bunch of ideas you had written down. I also peeked in your diary while I was there, and took the liberty of scanning several of the juicer pages on my computer, and they will be on display in the Green Hill Zone soon! But I'm really a nice guy...]

That'd be.. eh.. agh! I have loads of faves! Labyrinth (Sonic 1), Sky Chase and Robotnik Boss (Sonic 2), Boss (Sonic 3: Dada, dadada, dada "Uh, come on.. boom!"), Special Stage (Sonic 2 and Saturn 3D Blast), Rusty Ruin and Robotnik Boss (Saturn 3D Blast), Sonic Boom (US Sonic CD), Resort Island (Sonic R). I can't choose out of all those. They're all too good. Sorry, man. [admin note: Not Resort Island...Radical City! *(Livin' in the city!) You know you have to survive! (Livin' in the city!) You've got to keep the dream alive!...*]

The last level for NiGHTS, when you get to fly as either Caris or ELLIOT. SCREW SONIC GAMES! THEY S"CK COMPARED TO NIGHTS!!!! [admin note: Ah, yes...Twin Seeds, my favorite level in the game! But, uh...can you say "civil war?"...]

I'd hafta say the Special Zone in Sonic 3D Blast (Saturn version) [admin note: I like Diamond Dust, myself...]

Ice Cap Zone, though I do like the Hydrocity Zone(guess why?)

Umm, err, uhh. I don't know!!!! I guess Sky Santaury. Why are you asking me?!!? I'm just a poor pathetic person who doesn't have a Saturn because I said Nomad or Saturn!! Why!?! And when I want to listen to Dreams Dreams, instead of goin to my room and beating it, I have to rely on a cruddy RealAudio file!!! Or, a bad recordin a friend made for me when I first beat the thing at her house! And I only managed to squeak by with C's!!! And just recently, I beat Sonic 3 locked on to S & K, I have all the Super Emeralds, so I can get Hyper Sonic, Super Tails, or Hyper Knuckles!! But now I don't have anything to do!!!!! Well, except attempt to beat Sonic 3D Blast, but switching from 2D to 3D without any preparation gives me a headache!!

Mystic Caves is jammin'! Sky Chase Zone is heavenly! Green Hill Zone is annoying! Not Gibbon!'s though! Fina-I mean, Sonic 1's Green Hill Zone! Sonic2 Last Boss is really cool! Star Light Zone is pretty cool too! Sandopolis is REALLY FREAKING ANNOYING!!!!!! Wing Fortress is militaresque! What? I can only pick one? Awwwwww DANG! THE BEST OF ALL IS THE B&W CELL THEME AT THE END OF SONIC 2!!!!!!! So there. --~JM Stalker

Every zone that is made by SEGA has good music! There all great! Well, the music from Starlite Zone in Sonic 1 is rather annoying...but other than that, they all are great! At least that only my opinion.*looks at the ground and digs my toe in the ground* --Ultra Hedgehog [adminn note: You think the music to the Star Light Zone is annoying?]

The very first song to the very first zone in the very first Sonic game. *sniff* the memories.... [admin note: That would be the Green Hill Zone, n'est pas?]

Tidal Tempest. [admin note: *da, da, ooooh! da, da, ooooh! da, da, ooooh! Yeah-eah-eah, da, da, ooooh! da, da, ooooh!...*]

Hey hey it's Launch Base Zone! (way past cool music there)... THEN it's Marble Garden Zone...:) [admin note: bum-bum-bum ba-dum-bum! bum-bum-bum ba-dum-bum! bum-bum-bum ba-dum-bum! doot, doot, doot, doo-deedle dum... Go! Go! Go!...*]

Death Egg in Sonic & Knuckles [admin note: *ba-ba-bum-bum, doo-doo-bum-pow, rum-pum, ba-ba-bum, doo-doo-bum-pow-dee*...]

Marina Madness. [admin note: da-da-da bum-tee-dum, da-da-da bum dum tee-dee dum, ba-da-da-da bum-pum-rum-bum, baddle-dum-tum-tum...*]

Starlight Zone or the Green Hill Zone. They're the coolest! [admin note: Even I, who can identify every single Zone ever created by music alone, can't sing two Zones at once!]

Either Flying Battery or Death Egg (the Death Egg in S&K, that is, not Sonic 2).

The Fault Zone. It's a zone in Ecco: The Tides of Time and you never specified Sonic games. --Ecco The Dolphin [admin note: Ah, since it's a Sonic poll, I assumed folks would presume Sonic was the subject, but...*GG! looks at some of the other responses*...the joke's on me, I guess...]

Hmmm, let's see. Scrap Brain Zone's got the best music! [admin note: *badadadadadadumdum, bweeeern, bwan-bwan-bwan-bwan! Bweeeern, bwan-bwan-bwan-bwan...*]

The Star Light and Ice Cap Zones, most def! :)

I'd say Metropolis in Sonic 2. [admin note: doom-bum, doom-doom bum-bum, doom-bum, doom-doom bum-bum! Doo-doo ba-dum, badadadadum...*]


Now, here are the smart-@$$ comments:

The Cotton Candy Zone, which holds the pink Cotton Candy Chaos Emerald! I LOVE that music!

[admin note: I prefer the Marshmallow Zone, but that's just me...]

WHAT is your name? "Jim." And WHAT is your quest? "To do stuff and to basically eat as much cheese as I can. I also wish to thank the acadamy and knock all my teeth out with one punch." And WHAT is your favorite color? "Orange stripes with purple polka do- no, wait! PURPLE stripes with ORANGE polka do- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" [admin note: NO! No purple ANYTHING! Purple is evil...]

Democratic Handbags Zone - the one with the bearded man in the background, violently vomiting. [admin note: Help, mommy! I scared...]

Wouldn't a NiGHTS RPG be cool? :D [admin note: *GG! thinks about it* Hmm...maybe...but what on earth would pass for the magic system?]

You little crap! You can't ask that! I ought to kill you!! Oh, you're immortal. Oh, you sod! Why must you be so AWKWARD??????? [admin note: I'm just lucky, I guess...]

I'LL FIND A WAY TO DESTROY YOU, YOU FLAME -RESISTANT FREAK!! [admin note: *GG! orders that all sugar-based foods be pulled from the shelves in the Green Hill Zone*]

Did you know that gibbons taste EXEPTIONALLY good? Escecially the green ones? *growls* [admin note: Now, you're either the "e-vile bunkey," or some chick in a very naughty mood. If you're the former, lay off the sugar. If you're the latter, meet me after dark...]

NOOOOO!!!!!!!! The Squeezy Cheeze people and The Hotdog men have joined forces and are gonna have a cookout and invite us all and when we get there we find that they were planning on eating us!!! And then Space Ghost cut off the transmission and, and, AHHHHHHHH!!!!! There after me again!! Somebody hide me!!!!! No, wait, what are you doing?!? Put me down!! I don't want to be roasted by the Hotdog men and the Squeezy Cheeze people!!!!!! [admin note: Hey, I thought I ordered all the sugar-based foods to be pulled from the shelves!]

The green holliness of Rajah awakes to destroy you! --Blue Hog! [admin note: *GG! checks the clock* So, uh...when should I expect him?]

So remember kids, just say NO to running into walls. It may not be the "cool" thing, but it's the SMART thing! [admin note: What's wrong with you? I suppose next you'll wanna kill my mascot, Bob Dromedary, who apparently encourages kids to run into the wall, huh?]

Moon Prism Power! [admin note: Noooooo! Anything but that! Not the all-feared Moon Prism Power! Spare me! Spare me! Uh...just what is "Moon Prism Power" anyway?...]

The Zone of Silence. [admin note: WHAT? I DON'T BELIEVE I HEARD THAT, COULD YOU TALK A BIT LOUDER? WHAT? WHAT? SPEAK UP! WHAT?]

Bash Democrats Zone. No contest. [admin note: That's 1...]

JERRY: "Hearing aid." BIG CHEESE: "......right." *GG! laughs uncontrollably*]

Blue Gorilla calls you Bill Clinton lover! You are also an Al Gore fan! [admin note: Hey, waitaminute! The Blue Gorilla is my best friend! The Purple Babboon is my enemy! I thought something was fishy about all this, but now I'm sure! You're the Purple Babboon impostering the Blue Gorilla! Nyah.]

G.G. and Sailor Moon sitting in the tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G.... [admin note: Hey, that's jake with me...ooh, la la!]

I'm bored. Entertain me. [admin note: *GG! sticks carrot sticks up his nose, celery stalks in his ears, puts a pair of polka-dotted boxer shorts on his head, and smashes the nearest banana cream pie into his face* Entertained yet? And by the way, you're paying the laundering bill to get these banana cream pie stains out of this pair of boxer shorts...]

I like goldfishes, 'cause they're so delicious! [admin note: Gone goldfishin'...]

Why, with the Dweezle 9000, ANY Zone with have the best music! Tired of listening to the old humdrum music you always hear? Tired of having to pick among the Zones to find out which one has the best music? Well, just plug in the Dweezle 9000 today, and you'll be boogie-ing in no time flat! (Caution: Dweezle 9000 may cause small pets, silverware, and grape lollipops to appear out of nowhere.) So go out and play with your Dweezle! (Waitaminte . . . that didn't sound right . . . ) [admin note: AHEM!]

The Republican Zone. I particularly like the elephant noises... [admin note: That's 3...]

[admin note: Italicize This!] [admin note: Hey, I'm the only one who can use HTML tags around here! I-...something mixed up about this...]

Ooh! Ooh! The one where people play the National Anthem with their armpits!*starts doing just that*


Here are the results for last week's videogame poll, "What is your current most-anticipated game?":
Sonic R: 6 votes
NiGHTS 2: 3 votes
Other: 4 votes

All the Final Fantasy games that weren't released over here in America. I want 'em, dangit! --Jim Doe [admin note: And those Lunar games that we're never going to get because of extreme stupidity on SoA and WD's parts... But I just ordered Magic School Lunar on import, and it ships Monday! Whee! Now, I need somewhere to learn fluent Japanese in roughly a week's time...]

Wellll, I want NiGHTS2! As far as games I know, Panzer Dragoon Azel! [admin note: No NiGHTS 2 as far as I know...]

Sonic R!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BIRTHDAY IS SOON, AND WANT IT I DO! :D [admin note: I have it already! Nyah!]

Burning Rangers, I think. So many things to consider! How do Shou and Tillis vary? When are Lead Phoenix, Chris Parton (she's hot!) and Big Landman introduced, are they playable and what do they do? The BRs all have a number, but there are no 2 and 4! GASP! WHO ARE THE SECRET RANGERS??? And isn't the Auto-Jump thingy cool? Means you don't need to fall cause you'll be saved. Aww. I want this game, in short. :D [admin note: Yeah, me too! Burning Rangers will rock! BR all the way! Whoohoo!]

NIGHTS 2!!!! NIGHTS 2!!!! THE OVERALL BEST GAME IN THE WORLD MUST HAVE A SECOND ONE!! WHOOHOOO! [admin note: I agree, but you're gonna have to tell that to the Sonic Team...]

SONIC R!!! YEAH!! Even if I don't have a Saturn...may be gettin one for Christmas tho' --SS [admin note: Man, everyone's getting a Saturn THIS Christmas. Boy, you people sure wait until the last minute...by this time next year, the Saturn will be celebating it's FINAL Christmas...]

Ecco: The Waves of Glory. --Ecco The Dolphin [admin note: That sounds good, but you just need to tell that to Novotrade...]

Sonic R [admin note: It's out and I got it! Nyah!]

Sonic R. But that comes out Tuesday.... [admin note: Yeah, but I didn't get mine until Wednesday...]

Hm. Diddy Kong Racing. But who cares... the real question is, if everyone character from Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, and Sonic R raced, who'd win? TAILS THAT'S WHO!!! C'MON, YOU KNOW IT!!! [admin note: TAILS?! Metal Sonic would kick all of their butts...]

Sonic R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [admin note: Sorry I had to delete about half of those exclamation points, but it wouldn't copy otherwise...]

NiGHTS 2... if it's gunna happen. If not, it's Sonic R.

Game? Well, I'll have to say Sonic R! Tried it! It ruled! Heck of a whole lot better than Mario-Crap 64!!!


This is what bored hardcore gamers do with their time:

Imposter! Your Ultimate Cheeze Whiz 3000 is nothing but a pale shadow compared to my Dweezle 9000! And who says that the Dweezle isn't compatible with SFIII and Grandia? Didn't I tell you that it was compatible with ANY game, and that it will go "pharfignewton" when you stand on your head and eat a fruity nurple? Besides, no one else manufactures these babies! I do it all from underneath my bed. I'd tell you how, but the fact that I use a child's chemistry set, a box of MAD magazines, and three slices of American cheeeeeeeese is totally top secret! No one can top the Dweezle top! *ding ding DING! SLAM!* Oh, and in other news, the work on the Infindibulator add on is going to be a little late. I'm still trying to decide whether to make it with (or without) detachable antannae. Plus, my cat (which recently turned blue for some reason) has been scratching at my head, so I get confuzzled kinda easy.

Donaldo's Day Out. It's a cataclysmic battle between the forces of good and pancake eaters throughout the land. And GG! is a secret character. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumcisions - eh, circumstances, his name has been changed to Jonothon Pears, and he is no longer a Tails-lookalike-freak. Nope, he is now a small boy, wielding a frying pan. With this alone, he has a formidable advantage over the others, and therefore is darned good. [admin note: C-C-Circumcision? They'll never get me alive, I tell ya! They'll never get me alive!]

Pam Hollister... It's the guy who held up the PAM factory in 1984. He was arrested 6 days later. He is still currently in jail. Did I win? [admin note: Err...no...]

Plumber kill 3000!!!!!! Yeah, its a game I designed were you can kick plumber @$$!!!! Its comin out in the year 2384!!!! Thats the year I'll get the rights to the game! And thats the year when I'll win the lottery so I'll have the dough to make the game!!! [admin note: Now THAT sounds like fun! I'll never be overcharged by some smelly old plumber with his buttcrack showing again! Ha, ha, ha, ha!]

Video Gaming Vs. Democrats! All the video game characters in all the world team up to destroy the worst of the Democrats and Socialists! You travel to all the worlds of video gaming and in the end smash Clinton ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!! It's coming out at the same time of the updated Dweezle 9000 and uses all the controller's features! It plays the best of all Sonic music in the world! And Mario the Plumber has a buttcrack! [admin note: That's 4...]

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I DUNNO!!!!!! STOP CONFUSING ME!!!!!! --~JM Stalker [admin note: See JM run. Run, JM. Run. (Am I getting too technical for you?]

Pam Hollister- The author of the book "The People Process" -- Delphine Kiminsu (and there IS a bookk by that name by Pam Hollister, so if it's the wrong reference it's not my fault!!) [admin note: There is? Well, what a coincidence...but the Pam Hollister I'm referring to is fictional...]

The one where Honey is going to fight topless and she does the Bootie Bop every ten seconds. --Green Gibbon! [admin note: Actually, I didn't write that, but whoever did knows me pretty well. There's just a few small flaws... For one thing, as long as she's fighting topless, why not go all the way? (If you know what I mean.) And a Bootie Bop only every ten seconds? Why, she'd barely be able to fit 4 in a single round! I say once every three seconds! Now we're cookin'!]

Chess [admin note: Hardee-har-har...]

Sonic 4: Ashura's Adventure

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I DUNNO!!!!!! STOP CONFUSING ME!!!!!! Oh yeah, those Drano Cookies are top-notch! Mmm! --~JM Stalker [admin note: They should be...I made 'em myself...]

Democrat Fighter Alpha! Time to bash some liberal skull in! I can't wait to do Bob Dole's new move: Utterconfus'em! And the way he's gonna wail on them Democrats with that pencil of his . . . it just gives me the shivers thinking about it! [admin note: That's 5...]

EVERY GAME IS DEMOCRAT! HAHAHA!!! I'LL MAKE YOU GO INSANE GG! VIDEO GAMES ARE DEMOCRATS! VIDEO GAMES ARE DEMOCRATS! Oh and a little not to Delphine: Mr. Monkey is dead. Goodbye! --Blue Hog! [admin note: *GG! destroys Blue Hog on the spot*]

Oh, you people don't know anything. Here's how the poem REALLY goes: "One bright day, late at night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. Two deaf policemen heard the noise, went and shot the two dead boys! If you don't believe this lie is true, just ask the blind man. He saw it, too." What is the world coming to when the average person can't get a simple rhyme straight?

Sonic R. Released on Thursday! (Dunno about anywhere else, 'cept England) [admin note: It was released here on Tuesday...]

NO! It's C:\DOS\CRAWL!!!!!!!! You got that off the stupid T-shirt, didn't you. Well it's WRONG! YOU GOT THE ALMIGHTY SLASHES WRONG!!! --D-H Sonic F

Pam Hollister was one of the characters in the Happy Hollister mystery series. She belonged to a 7 person family and, she never got a year older during the 26 year series. --Bo Bayles [admin note: Yup, as you already know that's absolutely correct! So, uh...when you decide what change you want made, just E-mail me...]

Here's an interesting question suggested by Joya Nappo...if Sonic and the gang replaced the cast of a TV show, what TV show should that be?

Including all systems, what game do you think will be the #1 seller this holiday season?
