crossover_chick | Happy Birthday Josie!

-VD2: *hugs* You remembered!-
Heh, sort of -- for a bit, I was convinced it was Mystie's birthday today. Good thing I checked, huh?
-Josie: *chuckle* I wouldn't mind being switched too much.-
-VM: *hugs* Happy birthday, Mom.-
-VJ: *hugs* Happy birthday!-
-HD: Can I offer you some tea? I have no problem mixing blood into it. *glares around room* And the first person to make an "American McGee's Alice" joke will be attacked by a live flamingo.-
-TD: Don't tell me you've got one of THOSE in your hat.-
-TTV: Well, if I know my toon physics, that sort of area is practically infinite in capacity and seems capable of sustaining life. . . .-
O.o You're studying that sort of thing?
-TTV: *fiddles with tie* Not really studying -- I like cartoons. You're the one who calls me a "The Mask" fanboy.-
*suspicious, but lets it drop*
Anyway, got one

revison_doc update and two

eurekasims updates -- I got distracted by a hilarious Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows parody

smudge_pot linked, so I decided to play catch-up with the Carters only. I'll try to get in the Furs tomorrow.
-RPD: That's acceptable. Though what about those tips for Super BTTF II?-
I was going to do a level-by-level thing, but then I realized -- that would take insanely long, and I'd really like to have the level codes to give you guys. (Stupid Google searches are only bringing up boss levels, and I already know one of them is WRONG. (I think?)) So here's some general stuff for now:

-->If you're a first-time player or just want some extra mojo, there's an option under "Options" (redundancy much?) that allows you to bump your initial lives up to five.
-->Always do the lesson level! For first-timers, it offers an enemy-free way to learn the controls, and you can pick up a bunch of coins that carry over into the main game! Free money = always good.
-->Unless you've got a good reason not to, such as a proflieration of spiky balls, jump a LOT. It's your only way of killing enemies, and in later levels, you're going to have to deal with antigravity machines that can send you straight into enemies if you don't jump while going over them. Plus, you'll also encounter situations where the only way out of a pit is to basically bounce off the defeated enemies while you jump.
-->Explore as much as you can. Lots of coins and powerups are to be had if you take a few minutes to search. There's no time limit, so don't rush through the levels (unless, like me, you get so frustrated by the later ones you just want to get them DONE with.)
-->Powerups are gotten via vending machines. A list which may or may not be complete:
Hoverboard Machines: 40 coins, and the best deal in the game. If you've been hit, they give you back a bar on your life meter. If you haven't, they give you a whole extra life!
Shield Machines: 60 coins, this provides you with a golden shield that absorbs one hit from enemies. Use it wisely.
Invincibility Machines: This provides you with a green shield that makes you invincible to enemies for a short while. Since I've only seen it once (first 2015 level), I can't remember how many coins it costs. (Note to self -- when you replay, LOOK FOR MORE OF THESE.)
Increase Cash Machines: 85 coins, this provides you with a aura of coins and increases the amount of money you get, both in random searching and from defeating enemies. (i.e., the usual one-bit coins become 10-bit coins.)
Extra Lives: 100 coins, this is pretty simple -- you get a new Marty.
-->Do not ignore the "increase speed" button -- whatever key you designate as "B." I did, and it proved to be a mistake. In one of the later graveyard levels, you've got to use it with the jump button to get out of the first part of the screen. Plus, though you can jump up slopes, it's more fun speeding up them.
-->If you get hit, use your invincibility to your best advantage. For example, in a boss fight, if you get hit by the boss, nail him back multiple times! Also useful for spiky ball fields -- while you're invincible, they can be easily flipped over or used as platforms of a sort.

That's all for now, I'll do more later.
-OD: *tentacles chatter* Ever think of taking some video for your YouTube account? We'd be willing to consider it fanart.-
I have, actually. I want people to see the later levels in particular -- everyone just does 2015.
Anyway, I have a story to edit and some Josie stuff to read. You guys have a good time!
-D: We will! Has VampDoc2 told you about the Inkwell Bar, Josephine?-
Oh, before I go -- anyone else having trouble getting into BTTF.com? It's coming up as blank white for me. O.o?
