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, "Which one of Sonic's moves is the coolest?":
********************************************************
Spin Dash: 9 votes
Strike Dash: 3 votes
Sonic Spin: 2 votes

Sonic Dash [I presume you mean the Spin Dash, huh?]

For sheer nostalgia, I'd have to say the Sonic Spin. His first offensive move. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Tails' best move is his swimming thing. Though of course in a co-operative game, the ability to carry Sonic is a useful one. :)

Spin Dash. The Peel Out is basically just a vunerable spin dash. SIGH!!!!

OH,CMON GIBBON!deffinitly spin dash.And DONT GET ON MY CASE!!!!!!!(jerk....) [*GG! gets on case* Nyah.]

The Insta-Shield. Everyone is so down on it for some reason. I think it was the greatest thing ever to happen to the ol' hedgehog! I use the thing all the time for a variety of reasons! The spin? Bah! The dash? Bah! The figure 8? Bah! INSTA-SHIELD ALL THE WAY, BABY! -- Jim Doe

I like them all! But the peel out needs to be in some more games! I mean for cryin out loud, they create a cool move for Sonic, then they use it in one game! What was the point if it was only gonna be used once?!?! *walks away feeling very fustrated* [The Peel Out is my favorite, too. It's almost completely useless, but it just looks so darn cool!]

The Spin Dash.

Um, All of them. I mean...come on. Sonic would be NOTHING but a fast hedgehog in red shoes without those moves. And if he faced Eggman...He would be laying in a nice hole in the ground and covered with dirt with a headstone sticking out of the ground next to him by now! But when I play Sonic 1, I always find myself wishing for the Spin Dash... -- Ultra Hedgehog [In Sonic Jam, you can use the Spin Dash in Sonic 1...]

I like the Triple Spin Dash! That is really cool! :) -- J.N.

That's the super sonic scream! You know where he yells at the top of his lungs until you give into him... No,wait that's not a sonic move.. that's something k.a. does! But serious... that gold sheild move from sonic 3d blast is kinda cool, but you can never beat the spin dash cause it was the first. -- Moon [Hey, that scream is MY move! I use it whenever I get creamed by a particular boss for the third time in a row. Whenever I use it, I always beat him on the fourth try... (Just like last night in Grandia!)]

I'm a traditionalist. Sonic Spin Attack. It's the purest and the most refined of his moves.

I'll opt with the Spin Dash. It's SO COOL when you rev up the thing and go BOOOM across the screen. Of course, his Fire Shield thingie is equally cool. But the Spin Dash still rocks. -- ~JM Stalker

The Peel Out unfortuneately its not used that much in yhe games but it was a great consept. -- Clarence33

You forgot the Strike Dash! The Strike Dash is the best! Then the Peel Out, Spin Dash, and Sonic Spin. [Actually, I didn't forget about it, and I was hoping someone would mention it. It doesn't look as cool as the Peel Out, but atleast you're invincible for a little while.]

This is a tuffy... You should've waited 'til the Sonic RPG comes out. (Electronic Gaming Monthly may be run by casual gamers, but they don't lie...) But for now... FIREBALL SPIN DASH! Whoosh! Pow! Dunda dunda doing, da dun! (That was the 1-Up sound, BTW.) And DON'T INSULT MYST, DINKUS! MYST is the most awesome puzzle game since... since... deciding which to get: Sonic Jam or Sonic R! And it is NOT for casual gamers. Ultra Game Players is for casual gamers. So HA! :p -- D-H Sonic F [No argument there...I'm just gonna let my sub to UGP run out. With the internet, videogame mags are fairly useless to me anyway. I only use them to tear out ads of my favorite games and put 'em up on my door...]

The strike dash from Sonic Triple Trouble! It's cool. The most useful is the spin dash.

I think the spin dash is way past cool!

The Hyper Dash. You know, in Sonic 3 (locked on to S&K), where he's Hyper Sonic, and leaps in the air, and the stars kinda fountain off him as he jets... wherever... and simultaneously takes out all enemies on screen? THAT is the kind of power that only a Master Emerald can give.

None o' those, the Strike Dash is the best! I mean, he's invincible while he does it. [I'm surprised the Strike Dash got so many votes...unless it was all the same person, in which case shame on you!]


Now, here's why you should lock your doors at night:
*********************************************************
Walking. [Well, I knew comments like this were inevitable...]

Sonic Jam! It's this really cool... oh, wait aminute, I have to write about it first... kind of like the Plasma Flyer... MAN! I NEED TO GET THESE IDEAS OUT OF MY HEAD AND ONTO PAPER FAST BEFORE I EXPLODE!!!! [Sonic Jam is a game, isn't it?]

*Gehn walks into the Sky Sanctuary Poll* Hello. Have any of you seen a 40 or so year old man a little shorter than me, wearing loose clothing? *just then Delphine walks in* AHH! IT'S GEHN! HOW DID YOU GET OUT OF THE PRISON BOOK! *Gehn chuckles* Your friend... Jim, I think,... didn't know it was a Prison book. *Delphine gasps in horror* YOU TRAPPED JIM! *Gehn:* Well, no, he trapped himself. *Delphine:* YOU FIEND! *whack Gehn on the back of the head* CAAATHEEERIIIINE! *Catherine runs up, breathless* Did you find Gehn? *Delphine:* What? *Catherine:* You did. Good. *Catherine forces Gehn to put his hand on the prison book. Gehn disintegrates into the book, and Jim appears* MAN, it was dark in there. Buy. *Jim disapears**Delphine:* I wish he wouldn't do that. *Catherine:* *picks up the prison book* Atrus is probably worried. Buy, and thanks again!*Catherine takes out another linking book, places her hand on it, and she disapears into it**Delphine:**picks up the linking book* Huh, I wonder if... [This is why I stopped reading books years ago...]

His Jonothon Pears-imitation move. It's so cool! Those badniks must have sore heads after a quick *thwack* with a frying pan, that's for sure!!

I aM tHe BoNkEy! ThE bUnKeY iS a FaKe! YoU sHoUlD fEaR mE MoRe ThAn ThAt ToTaL wImP! [Why is everyone so freaked out over the Bunkey all the time anyway? He seems like a nice guy to me. Come and join us, Bunkey!]

Donaldo has changed into Puff-Donaldo and is coming to get you, GG! Run!!!!!!! He's gonna bite you on the noggin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Puff Donaldo dragon, lives by the sea...]

My Mother says AAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHH YOU ARE SILLY!!!!!!!!!! [Funny, that's not what my mother says...]

Hee, hee! I saw a nude lady walking through the street! It was Sally Acorn, sadly. [Total bummer, ain't it?]

*Sailor Evil points to GG* CHAOS BLAST DESTROY!!! Ahahaha... hey is that the Masked Echidna? Ahhhhhh! It is! *runs away screaming* [Waitaminute! Chaos Blast sounds kinda fun! Lemme have it!]

I get knocked down! But I get up again! Nothin' can keep me down! Yeah! --Blue Hoguwumba! [*GG! knocks BH down with a lead pipe*]

Everyone loves Aeris because she's the perfect heroine. And, of course, she's killed. When everyone else has some flaw (Cid and Barret using !@#%, Tifa's stuff being WAY too big, Yuffie being arrogant, Cloud being controlled by guess-who, Vincent and Cait Sith being real dark, shady characters, and Red...well....I can't find a flaw in Red.) Aeris is perfect. Her music is sublime, she's pretty cute, and she's totally selfless. She got an edge about her so that everryone liked her. And she HAD to be ------. [Hey, just what are you insinuating? That I might actually have competition for Aeris? I scoff brazenly in your general direction. Everyone else likes Tifa because her "stuff" is way too big! And I guess being alive helps, too...]

you know the one where he spins his legs realy fast then he goes th DC and slaps every republican in congress for being a dumbass -- Demacrat Boy [It might add merit to your statement if you could spell your own name...]

The 'magic marsh-mellow mambo' move [That's mine too!]

Shou Amabane: It looks we're assigned to soak this bandicoot named Crash. Tillis: Crash Bandicoot? You're kidding. Lead Pheonix: Were we hired by Sega? Shou: To be specific, Sonic Team. The rest of Sega doesn't really give a flip about this mission. Chris Burton: Where is he located? Big Landman: I'll bet Shou knows where he really is, but my guess is The City of Terribly Designed Characters. Shou:You're exactly right, Big. Now Tillis, once we enter the city, find the steamroller and await instructions. Lead, blast away as much as you can with your Ice Man, and attempt to clear a path. Big, accompany Lead and look for anything that might be bandicoot tracks. Chris, you find all PlayStations and Hanson CD's and give them to Tillis. Burning Rangers, let's get movin'! [No fair, no fair, no fair! I was going to write the first Burning Rangers fanfic...you didn't even wait for the game to come out! That's cheating! Hey, wait a sec...that wasn't a fanfic, it was a parody! Hee, hee! I guess I'm not too late...]

Anything Sonic does is cool! I mean, if Sonic kicked himself in the rump, he'd prove he's cool enough to make a total fool out of himself in public! Like me! Whoops, gotta go to tripping class. *trips* #16... [Oh, you take that class too?]

Sonikku Spenku Dashhkee! [Sonic spanks Dash's knee? Who in the heck is Dash?]

Why, I know the CORRECT lyrics to MMMBop! *A huge mob attacks D-H before he gives the lyrics* -- D-H Sonic F

Hello Gibben the democratic fedaration has been looking at your page and we like the way you bash us democrats becase we'll destroy this nation before its over. The more you slam us the more we'll worship the Great Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. You have been warned. -- Fedaration Head Slick Willy Ps. [A little word of advice...never make left-leaning jokes when the site editor is a Conservative.]

Jump. [That's number two...]

Q877ywiuem,kxmm? [Sheesh, if you're gonna think up stupid responses, you could atleast be a little more original than that!]

The one where he is suicidal in Sonic 1's demo.

The standing still position! It's UNBELIVABLE! [I KNEW it was coming! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!]


Here are the results for last week's videogame poll, "Do you plan to buy the N64DD and/or Sega Katana?":
Katana: 11 votes
N64DD: 2 votes
Both: 3 votes

Katana yes, N64DD no. I gave up on Nintendo after that crappy Virtual Boy. [And you're still with Sega after the Sega CD, 32X, and to a degree, Saturn? What do you know that you're not sharing with the rest of the world?]

N64DD, maybe, but I don't plan to shell out another $200 bucks for another sega system that will be obsolete in 6 months.

I'm definitly buying the SEGA Katana, whenever it comes out...

sworn enemy. nintendo. hate nintendo. sega rules. (in other words, katana) --The Silver Sonic

The Katana.

No way would I buy the N64DD! Even if I had an N64! For me, the DD spells the downfall of the N64, 'cause they're upgrading the system far too soon. To hell with Nintendo, I say.

Now Gibbon,whaddaya think? [duh faaah] NO,BOTH,YOU DORK1! THE N64DD & THE sega KANTANA BOTH RULE?WHY THE 64DD BECAUSE OF MARIO 64 2,AND KATANA CAUSE OF SONIC RPG VIRTUAL FIGHTER 4 AND WORLD SERIES BASEBALL 99 [Of course...I knew that...]

Heck, no. No money, remember? -- Jim Doe [So, why don't you like... y'know...GET A JOB?!]

SEGA KATANA!!!! I WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT HAS THE NAME NINTENDO ON IT!!! SEGA RULES!!!(Um, ok. I done now. I am in control) -- Ultra Hedgehog [I wonder...]

If I had a choice, I'd buy the Sega Katana. Since the day I've became a Sonic fan, I've lost all taste in Nintendo. -- J.N.

Gosh, that's a good question. Probably the 64DD, even though it's an accesory, 'cause it allows you to play RPGs on the 64. Of course, the Katana sounds like it's gonna rule.....ergh! I don't know! -- ~JM Stalker [Having been faced with the same problem, I came to a simple conclusion. Buy 'em both!]

Im going to buy both because Ive got money and Im the man -- Clarence33 [I don't really have the money, but I'm gonna make sure I do before the time comes...]

I plan to by the Katana only. I used to like Nintendo but now I hate them and sold all my Nintendo stuff and have only Sega products.

You DINKUS!!! Of COURSE I'll buy the Katana! EVERYONE HERE's gonna get the Katana! If someone isn't, I'll probably obliterate them. -- D-H Sonic F

THE WHAT??!! 64 Dumb Drive? If I'm ever sewen carrying one of those, shoot me! If it has a Mario game with it, run me over with a steam roller! [*GG! fires up the steamroller* Just lemme know whenever you're ready!]

Uh, you MIGHT want to take the G.H.Z. Game Awards off the pollnext.html file! KATANA! DURAL! ECLIPSE! Ofcourse no Nintendo systems ever can top the genius systems by SEGA! Game Gear, Genesis, Saturn, and soon to be Katana! [GHZ Game Awards on the pollnext file? That's under awards.htm...]

Sega Katana, probably, though not right away. N64? NEVER! I'm NOT A SEGA TRAITOR! (unless Sega gets carless and starts acting too much like one of the other crummy companies) [You mean they haven't already?]

I definitely plan to get the Sega Katana (over in the UK it's known as Dural) but not straight away, as I always wait till the price cuts! [Yeah, it was known as the Dural everywhere, but the new official development name is Katana. So far, it's been through Eclipse (still my personal favorite), Black Belt, and Dural.]

Plan to? Heck yeah! The only problem is getting enough of that crinkly green paper with dead presidents on it... [Tell me about it. No matter how much you make, it's never enough...]

If only I could I would. WAAAAAAAA!


This is what bored hardcore gamers do with their time:
***********************************************************
Yuppidy-doo-daah, neighbour! (Uh oh. Looks like I've been watching too much of the Simpsons lately. Shut up, Flanders!) [Don't have a cow, man...]

Well, I go wherever Jonathon Pears and Donaldo go, and since their new game is out on the Katana, that's where I'll be! I can't WAIT to see Donaldo throwing aftershave tablets at Jonathon, who can now deflect them with his new super-weapon, the stainless steel wok! This is going to be a classic....

Oh, no. [Uh...bad news?]

Neither. I'm gonna get a fishing rod and some tackle, and play chess. [And we'll all be sitting here laughing at you while you're trying to play Chess with a fishing rod and tackle...]

I'm going to buy the rights to TJ Davis. Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. [Boy, how some people get their kicks... Why is everyone looking at me like that?]

I have a top secret plan to blow up all the Nintendo buildings, and put glue on all the toilet seats before I blow it up! And then, I uhh, hold on a second. *flips through a large book labled "My super top secret plan to destroy Nintendo"* Uhh, the book just told me to shut up, so umm, forget what I just told you! [Just warn me when you put your plan into motion, so I'll know not to be working there at that time. Or atleast not go to the bathroom...]

Metal Sonic: Let's robotosize him!!!!! Metal Knuckles: No let's dress him up as Sailor Moon!!! Tails Doll: This name makes me sound like I'm related to Barbie!!!! [I don't think I'd mind being dressed as Sailor Moon so much...]

Look, Gibbon. The more you ask serious questions the more people will say smart @$$ remarks! Like me! HFNWATDERFHYTDF! Oh, and Bunkey...I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU! YOUR JUST A PATHETIC LITTLE RABBIT INSIDE A BUNKEY SUIT! MWAHAHAHA! -- Blue Hog! [I figured as much.]

Sega Katana because I want to see how bad sega screws this one up maybe they will put hillary clinton on the title screens Ahhhhhhhhhhh NO!!! not hillary Clinton -- Democrat Boy [You said it, I didn't...]

Big:Waitaminute! That looks suspiciously like BANDICOOT TRACKS. Lead, start shooting in that direction. Lead: How am I supposed to clear a path there? Bill Clinton's nose is in the way. Big: I'll take care of this. *Big punches Clinton's nose in* Okay, Lead. All clear. *Lead shoots the heck out of Clinton* No, don't shoot CLINTON! Shoot in the direction of the bandicoot tracks! Lead: Sorry. *Lead shoots in the right direction* Big: It's okay. I'm sure your actions were very convinient to many people on the Sky Sanctuary Poll. Lead: Okay then. [Darn, there goes my claim to #2. Well...atleast the entire country should benefit from this one...]

BUY?! I'm just gonna wait till I go to Chicago, where my rich uncle lives. Last time, he bought me 3 Genesis games, 1 Saturn game, and 2 computer programs! Katana should be cheap for him! Heck, he bought us our computer! [Oh, rats...competition for my rich uncle, who buys us a new game everytime we visit!]

yes.... [Sheesh, make up your mind...]

Oh, Blockbuster isn't getting any more Saturn games? Why, they must be CASUAL GAMERS! They must think everybody's a casual gamer! SCREW 'EM! -- D-H Sonic F [Not really...they're financial gamers. They aren't making money renting Saturn games anymore, so they're getting rid of 'em. C'est la vie in the business world.]

Buy? No, I'm going to Radical City to get my Katana. Everything is free, can't you see? -- Bo Bayles [I always wondered about that line...if you ask me, it's a tourist trap...]

Heehee... (just a second) Darnit, this won't work... dang I had da bomb idea here! Oh well. [And you're not going to share it with anyone, are you?]

I'm going to buy the Cheez Whiz 256 invisible system. When you buy it, it looks like there's nothing in the box at first but that's only because the system is invisible itself. And so are the games. And so are the cords to hook it up. [Say, now that's some spiffy stuff! Why didn't Sega or Nintendo think of that?! Sign my name up for one of those babies right now!]

We at the Cheez Whiz Corporation(C) would like to say that we will be making big efforts to make the past generation of videogaming available to you. You may find our products wherever you see a man dressed as a piece of cheez carrying a strike sign. [Ooh, is that position already taken? 'Cause I'm lookin' for work, and that's my type of job!]
