MaGL X2 Discussion - MaGL X2 Lands TOMORROW. GET. HYPE.

[Zygl]

man, those two people must be really clever if no one else here has found it yet

It's more that everybody else is having the brain fart of the century, really. It really is super visible. In fact she posted it already.

[FrozenQuills]

think about it, if i somehow pulled that off would i announce it waaaaaaaay before-hand or keep it as a suprise haha

yes
you would announce
because then you would mention it here to imply that it didn't happen so now no one would suspect it, which is just what happened so it must be the case

On a serious note you did mention that you managed to do at least as well as last year's post game, so I'm way more interested in how you did that.

[Arctangent]

For some reason I had some particularly weird dreams about the Let's Play already being in progress; apparently there were "trap tower" levels that weren't made by the contestants scattered around the main game where entering them for the first time caused imps to steal the game's music and fanfares, causing them to be replaced with different versions until you beat the particular level and therefore the imps - I have no idea if you could change it back to the different music or not, but I also remember a comment ( from someone else who played it other than raocow ... somehow ) that a person couldn't beat one of them which replaced the mushroom grab sound effect which annoyed them so much that they restarted their save, only to find out the change was global - even across different episodes.

That wasn't the weird part, though. Not in the slightest.

At the end of each video, raocow would start to sum up his thoughts about each level he played that day, only to be cut off by really harsh static-y sounds and then the video ended far sooner than he'd be realistically done saying what he was saying. Despite that, he was posting as if nothing was happening on the forums, and it seemed like something he set up with Horikawa since she kept posting things in the thread after each video ... except her posts were utter nonsense ( like one was some ASCII art of three zeroes made out of zeroes ) with links not so much hidden but randomly transplanted into it. The links lead to a download site, each post leading to a different download but all of them containing similar things: a snippet of a completely arbitrary review or synopsis of some completely visual novel and an image of said visual novel's box ( or title screen for digital releases I guess ). I'm sure in the dream there was some ARG-level stuff going on somewhere within it, but I just remember being annoyed about the whole gimmick because it meant raocows criticism was blocked out and the sounds that were covering it were extremely unpleasant.

Silly dream? ...Or cryptic future-telling?

[Lunikyuu]

I had a dream once that for some reason raocow couldn't start the LP of MaGL X2 until I completed the entirety of the game first, but Horikawa inserted this giant flaming volcano god boss halfway through that was way too hard and I couldn't beat it, and people started coming over to my house to cheer me on.

[Rednaxela]

It's kind of fascinating what can inspire dreams.

[TaviTurnip]

Arctangent's dream sounds as crazy as mine do. MaGL X2 is driving us all insane ;A;;;;;;

[FFR]

i like how in all of these dreams i'm some sort of old testament chaotic loki goddess or something

...you aren't? but... but... the goat I just... and the blood... and... gah I need a mop

[CrispyMWHC]

It makes sense. You know more than most (all?) of us and drop hints for us to obsess over. That's, like, Chaos God 101.

The "Received your level list" hasn't been updated in a few weeks either D:

You even have a vaguely god-like name: Servalan.

I would like a copy of this bible that has Loki in it. Or at least the movie adaptation.

[FrozenQuills]

Well discussion hasn't been active for a bit so here's an interesting question.
Where on Holy's graph from last maglx do you think this contest will end up?

Honestly, that graph's not hard to understand. I redid it to make it a bit easier to figure out:

[noterday]

inside the O of "one inch"

[TaviTurnip]

The yellow part of the dip is us.

[Fawriel]

what on earth am i looking at here

[ztarwuff]

If anybody ends up in the trash section, their levels should have numbers like i squared and e.

[Ignoritus]

I'm guessing the scarcity of updates is because Horikawa wants to wait until she's finished judging every level to update again.

[Rednaxela]

Hope classes are going well for you with that workload

[Ditocoaf]

I'm guessing the scarcity of updates is because Horikawa wants to wait until she's finished judging every level to update again.

It's because Horikawa's taking a double load at Harvard graduate school and the semester is ending haha.

Regardless, I think I'll be done by the first week of May. If not that, definitely the second. I'm not the one you need to worry about finishing on time.

I don't think people are worried that there isn't enough progress, they just want to watch the progress with rapt attention, watching numbers tick up week by week.

[Ignoritus]

I'm not the one you need to worry about finishing on time.

Fun fact, if Quill were to continue judging at his current rate for all of the levels judging would take over a year.

[Rednaxela]

As of this posting, Quill has judged 71 and Sturg has judged 91.

Fun fact, if all the judges were as fast as Horikawa, I'd be more stressed about the timing of relay level completion ;)

Are... are you gonna be okay there? Need us to order you a pizza or something?

Time for the first annual Make a Good Pizza contest! Horikawa will be the one and only judge.

These three beg to differ.
