,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, An interview of Deadelous (kuski of month on October 2001): ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' -= When did you start playing? =- I actually started playing Across, but elma came out just after that, so i never was any good at Across, i was beginning to get good on elma, but had mostly wrong styles until i got internet connection. That was about 6 months ago (: -= Ex-teams and why did you change teams? =- My only ex-team is c0ol, i had to leave it because my wr's got spread immediately after i got them... :/ -= Current total =- 42:41:16, no, actually 42:41:15, after i improved 1 hundred on my warm up wr (: -= Across Career briefly? =- ok, got to the some level with movable objects, then elma came out (: -= Do you still like Across? Why/why not =- well, i cant really say, i played it so little, but i guess the moving objects was a bit annoying. -= How did you get Across/Elma? Was it your worst mistake? or the best? =- I don't really remember how i got it, if it was a mistake? maybe, i've been playing alot of time, but, it's also fun to be online, and compete/chat with other players. -= Favourite internals / most irritating internals =- Jaws is the best, it's tricky in start, and then is a major speed loop. Downhill/The Steppes/What the Heck, are also great levels, all those are tricky, but fast, so i guess all in this category is my best levels. Worst levels is another matter, they are Twin Peaks, Bowling, Enduro with more, but levels like bowling, or any other with gravity in them are bad, i only took new WR on upside down because i discovered a new style. -= Your own best WRs? =- Well, Jaws, Warm Up, The Steppes, What the Heck and Freefall is the best i think. Warm Up may be possible to beat, but i'm not so sure about that. Other's are also possible to beat, but only with a tiny, tiny difference :) (at least i think this :) OH, and i almost forgot Enigma :) -= Best WRs in your opinion? =- Jaws, Warm Up, The Steppes, Freefall, Long Haul, Apple Harvest, Enigma And of course i'm a bit REM-ish :) -= Who in your opinion is/was the best player in the scene? =- Well, i'm pretty new online, so i only know the ones who's good now, like dz, pajen, jeppe, and maybe me? :) Everyone also say psymorph, zeth, zyntifox, champion + many other people are good, but how can i know? :) -= Are there some kind of external contests you like? =- I think those contests with one-on-one matches were good, one i won, one i got beaten out of, but that's life :) I also hear some say new world cup is coming?, can't wait to try it :) -= Best lgr in your mind? What lgr do you use? =- Never tried any other than default, hehe -= Mention some good things you have gotten with Across/elma? =- WR's!..... and some cool rides besides that, and you may call this a hobby :) -= Mention some bad things you have gotten from Across/elma? =- Less spare time, A finger that hurts, maybe a useless hobby :) -= What is the most frustrating thing you have faced in your career? =- Of course it has to be people saying i'm another person, i've been called so many different people i've lost count.... it may seem that those people is jealous or something? :) -= Your best achievements? =- It has to be some of my wr's, like enigma recently, also i won my first contest i participated in, the Elma league div 1, having 12 wr's at the same time... Oh hell, you decide :) -= How much did you play in your sickest period? How much these days? =- NO comment :) -= How much it takes time for you to drive new WR? Is it that easy? Some are easy, some are hard, i've gotten WR after one nights playing, but i also have had to play many weeks to get one... Making new styles REALLY helps on the time you use to take a wr :) -= Best memories with elma? =- Has to be my first WR, my first Lab Pro bounce and my first Enigma bounce(WR) :) -= Best Elma friends? =- All in REM and czybe -= What gets you still playing Elma =- The addictiveness of the game i guess :) -= What do YOU think should be improved in an eventual new version of elma? =- Well, first of all gravity is annoying, they should be removed, from inernals at least. Supervolts should be on a button of it's own, since now some can make supervolts without having a normal one before, this i can't do, and i'm sure more people have the same problem, a game shouldn't have advantages such as a trick only some can do because they have another sort of keyboard than others. -= Do you have a life when playing elma? =- It's OK :) -= How about battles? =- Sounds nice, but they should be in weekends, because i really want to try one :) -= You've got some negative feedback about playing elma from your friends? =- They all hate it, everyone here thinks games as this sucks(of course exept me) :( -= What games do you like beside Elma? =- Allmost all RPG's, Adventure games, and sports games :) -= Have you thought about if you could stop playing Elma soon, or anytime? =- Not really, i've been tired of it a couple of times, but i always start playing it again after i get bored with the other games. -= Are you at the top of your career now? If not, when? =- Hard to say, i've taken all the wr's i have a chance on i guess, now i have to play more externals, try on the internals i'm bad at, try finding new styles, if i can't progress in those fields, i think i'll get bored of the game. Then maybe i'll quit, for a short time :) -= Was it a surprise to be voted for the kuski of month? =- It was, i never became kuski of month when i took many WR's, but when i lose 3 then i win the vote :) -= Mopolauta, any opinions? =- Main Elma Page, great stuff, hate the green colours :) -= Opinions about Elma Crime, MUe's animations and stuff like that. =- None, i haven't seen those... :( -= Your relation to OLP =- Most of those levels suck, but some are ok, maybe i will start playing it :) -= Why that nick, Deadelous? =- My nick comes from a game, that had an AI personality in it, it was originally Daedalous, but i managed to mistype it to Deadelous, since that, i've never changed back. -= Tell us once again, aren't you any ex Norwegian kuski? Should we really believe that you came to the scene about 6 months ago and now you're domintaing the WR table. You must be the most talented player in the history of Balazs games. Maybe you are cheating? =- For the last time: NO, i'm not someone else, why should i be? I want the credits for my WR's, i took them, not zynti/zeth or anyone else, they dont deserve credit for it, like they get when people say that i'm them... and really, i don't need to cheat.... for the rest of the question, look question 1. -= How do you feel about mrDJ cheating in the past? =- A disgrace to his country, and for everyone playing elma, not to mention himself. -= Your real life. Do you have it (school/work, other interests etc)? =- Well, i have some :) I play soccer in spare time(position left BENCH :), school sucks, party some,do drugs(kidding, or maybe a bit :), Listen music and love to use cash on useless things :) -= Please write here something about the game, fellow kuskis, moposite, #across, whatever =- The game simply rocks, most fellow kuskis rocks, moposite ok, can i get OP on #across? ;) whatever.... -= Do you think it was enough questions? =- Not really, if you just add 100 more, it would be ok :P Deadelous, Saturday 10 Nov, 2001
