Lu Tze get rid of your avatar. Lucy has red hair, not orange, you made her look shit, and I didn't even think that was possible. Fix it please.

That is intentional. I didn't just want to copy the original picture, since many people already have that as an avatar. The only thing I changed was to apply a small hue shift (green also looked nice, but in the end I went with orange). Sorry if it looks bad to you, but I prefer it that way for various reasons, and I have no plans to change it in the near future.

I'll get you B& from life. I've seen it more orange than red on forums actually, I see the orange one everywhere. Don't make me get her to kill you. Cause she's alive at the end. K.

Way to go off-topic... :o

Anyway, I found 50long to be harder on Mono Pro than Elite for some strange reason.

kEn should get in on this action...I'd love to see an Elite Pusher video for it  ;D

Somewhat of a contraction there, anyway...

btw. islingt0n, you have a cool avatar. The image on that screen looks almost exactly like one of my music visualizations.

ok, sorry, for being offtopic again

Well ok... I am not particularly good at Stealth and also think it is rather boring... I prefer playing much more difficult tracks where it is a challenge to not have an overfill - either with Mono or Pusher. So it seems I have a completely different goal.
sure, mono is quite boring on most tracks, but every mode eventually becomes monotonous with repeated play-throughs as the core strategy is the same.

not overfilling on those really fast songs is challenging though.

oh, on your vid you left the songs tagged the same even though you modified the ash...

Ah, thanks  ;D
I believe it was a screencap of a visualisation, but I can't remember which, possibly 'Milkdrop' for Winamp.

Yes, but I prefer to have a song where I, lets say, collect 20 gray blocks and then try to reduce that to, like, 5, instead of a song where I collect 3 and try to reduce that to zero - I simply hate games where just one mistake ruins everything... I prefer Pusher in that aspect: You can keep the chain alive even if you make a few mistakes, it only costs you some 5-20k points. Since I can do that even on fast songs (280-380 traffic congestion), I can get good scores with Pusher.

You are right about the tags, btw... but I can assure you, all songs I have done this with so far had next to no competing scores, and those that were there were far below me anyway, so I really don't think it matters (with one ATB exception). There is a completely different problem, however: I have a few radio rips - these songs are identical to the original except that they are compressed, so there are probably more blocks. But this is technically not cheating, so I don't really care... also, the track preview is clearly different, so anyone can see it (and even in those songs there is no serious competition).


Ah and yes, Milkdrop is cool  ;D , but I made mine in AVS - for me it is sort of the next best music thing after Audiosurf! There are a few presets integrated in Winamp even which look very Audiosurfish (abstract plane flies through abstract soundscapes).

this one usually generates at over 800 traffic: http://rapidshare.com/files/93287158/50long.mp3

I was so rubbish at this one on Elite (can't see around the bends enough, bah!) that I decided to add the [as-nogrey] tag: That'll be only time I'll ever get anywhere near 500000ppm  ;D
