Do you know if this something Ulillillia came up with himself?

I'm not 100% sure on that. I do remember him saying once that people have requested him to do it, but I don't know if they wanted him to keep doing it (meaning he came up with the idea himself) or if someone else requested it in the first place.

To be honest I'd be really surprised if someone else had come up with the idea in the first place. I think we all know how well Ulillillia takes advice of any kind.

I don't know why you guys can't just read this guy's goofy writing and watch his videos and just be entertained. That's why he put them up there, so you can watch them and enjoy them. It seems kinda mean to focus on the guy's illness instead of his cool vids and interesting voice overs. He's not like, a friend of yours that you have to watch out for, he's a guy who makes videos of you going FAST and HIGH.

Oh my god. He put a full, branching platform level complete with an opportunity to fly really fast, in the background of another level. You can't actually play it, you can just imagine what it would be like to play it as you pass by it in another level. This is so freaking Ulillillia.

You're probably wondering - does this game ONLY have certain measurement units available? You've always been seeing feet and miles per hour like crazy with occasional use of units per frame, as per that debug panel, if you know what I mean. However, I can change that. I've actually added that functionality in. I've replaced those particular options but, reading this menu help, you can get a good idea of what you can expect to see. Now those are the kinds of item options you have available. Of course, there's game-specific units, if you know what I mean. For example, I'm gonna change the speed to something metric, if you know what I mean - kilometers per hour. If you're in places that are outside the US and Great Britain, yeah you should probably know what kilometers per hour means, and such. I do. Of course I'm in the US, but hey, I'm actually kind of used to both systems, if you know what I mean.

I like how he goes to so much effort to explain the function and back story to every little building or item in the game, but never explains how these magical floating blocks exist - or for what reason.
It's got that kind of dreamlike quality where all the normal things are there and familiar, but the ludicrously impossible also seems perfectly unremarkable while you're dreaming it.

I think we've had this discussion in this thread before but I do not see this at all. Platform Masters is kind of an ugly game. Maybe if the weird abstract foreground were less distracting I might appreciate it more but as it is the backgrounds just look okay and it's kind of weird how they scroll past in that last video without necessarily giving the impression of forward movement.

"Dreamlike" is the single best way to describe Ulillillia's games. They're just like weird, floaty flying dreams distilled into pure computer game essence.

Even the code is like some illogical mess you'd see in a dream.

I agree with you in general, but the air taxi level in particular looks really good. The scrolling just works much better with some sparse islands and miles of ocean than it does geometrically placed buildings or mountains.

Basically he treats his rear end in a top hat like a pizza; he compulsively wipes it until there is no 'residue' left because that would cause him stress or something.

Someone should introduce him to Cottonelle wipes. I'm the kind of person that feels weird if I'm not ultra clean, and those Cottonelles rule. Someone that talks to him, tell him!

Uli is writing a guide for GameFAQs and he wrote a program to automatically make his lines 79 characters, instead of looking for a program that already does that.

Has Ulillillia ever explained his arrest at the mall or grocery store or whatever? I know he deleted it off of his site after a day and a half or whatever and then had explained why he had to delete a page and then deleted the explanation page. It was all within 2 days and now i can't even find anyone trolling him on it.

Word Wrap in text editors doesn't modify the text, it just displays it wrapped.

Stranger is why GameFAQs has that restriction, or why it doesn't just automatically wrap submitted FAQs if they bother to have a script to validate that.

Falling in video games always makes me sick. It's not a motion sickness thing or anything but I just can't play a videogame where I fall without wanting to throw up as I fall. I can watch other people play videogames and fall down all day but as soon as I am playing I get this weird sense of downward movement and I literally feel like I am falling down like a rock and want to throw up.

Someone explain this to me.

There are many that let you save the text with line breaks at the wrap point though, that's what I used to do when I wrote stuff for GameFAQs.

Some form of really selective vertigo, maybe? I sometimes get this way with games too. Does looking down from a high place or looking up at a tall building make you feel the same way?

Pretty sure he bases his console purchases off games he wants to play stating that the PS3 doesn't have enough games he wants to justify the purchase. Yet.
