About Me
Hello, I'm Knives but a lot of my friends will usually call me Knivy. All I should have to say is that I live in the happiest place on earth (Tijuana!), but that's not all I'm gonna say.

I started playing games at around age 4 and I simply love games....No, really, I'll play pretty much anything: RTS, FPS, RPGs, TPS, Shumps, Puzzle, Rhythm, Sports, etc. Although it's obvious I have and addiction to Rock Band.

I currently play on PC, Wii, PS2, DS and 360, I tell myself I'll get a PSP and a PS3 soon but I keep spending money on things like MAGfest, Miami, PAX , Baltinarp and Cancun.

I'm 24, studying communications and working as data capturer to support my gaming habits =).

Epic Audiosurf Contest Week 1 Song. UPDATE: Song Closed!
Knivy | 6:51 PM on 02.24.2008 54 comments






Rules of the contest can be found here.


"Snakeman's Opus" is an awesome remix from one of the most memorable stage music found in Mega man games. This remix was made by 8bM and it can be downloaded from here.


Remember, you have until Friday night at 10:30 PM PST to post or send me your highscore pic. I think it's pretty much safe to assume that if you aren't on top of the Audiosurf leaderboard (I'm currently there with only 1 other person who has played it besides me) then you don't have the highscore here either.



End Of Week 1 Update:

ConradZimmerman has been declared the winner! He choose to reedem his point, so this song is closed.



Some of you have been asking for a difficulty limit. For this song in particular there is none, some of the future songs will have different types of restrictions, so like i said in the comments, don't worry about it now.


There's also some questions about the pics, you have to post at least one to be considered a contestant for this song, thus making you able to steal the point from it if the winner decides to keep it in play for next week. And here's the reason why I ask for pics.

If you already posted one of you're highscore pics, unless you're beating the current leader, then there's really no reason to post other than increasing your comments count.

PS:Some of you on the leaderboard have yet to post one highscore pic, just don't forget to do it before friday night :).

@Inquisitor

The pic, yeah =P.

For the contest, unless I specify what can or can't be used for a song, you can use any character on any difficulty because the score is what matters.

and what if I were to submit a score from what you could call and unofficial Audiosurf?

well...is you don´t use gameshark o something to play audiosurf, everything is right, right?

On any difficulty ??? Because it's a lot easier to get high scores on the low end difficulties...
Wedge's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/24/2008 20:34

Also you have to have bought the game to compete. Aside from it being lame, I would assume you aren't running the latest client, which has vastly different story.

different scoring.

Just buy the game.

That "unofficial" audiosurf doesn't work quite the same way. The Beta version and the retail version had a number of changes between them, especially in how Mono works.

Also, jesus christ knives, could you have picked a harder song? :P I'm in second place right now, with a score of 47,519 (I beat your score at least :3) and not a single person in the standings has gotten even a Silver medal.

I tried with pointman, too, but the entire track is a giant mix of all different colors without any uniform stretches, and I only saw two powerups the entire song, both lightning icons.

Everybody's playing on Elite, at least, that's all that's on the scoreboards.
Jetsetlemming's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/24/2008 21:09
Jetsetlemming
Actually, I just tried pro, and there's a bunch of scores on there. Since when has Audiosurf not shown the scoreboards for the other difficulties? O_o;
Anyway, the highest score on Pro is like 80 some thousand, so you really might want to limit the contest to just Elite, knives. It really is far easier to score on the lower difficulties. The higher ones have a greater POTENTIAL for score, but the lower ones open the doorway to far greater ones easily.

Do we really need to take a screen cap? Doesn't having actual scoreboards up there eliminate the need for that?
^ Doesn't know how to do screen caps
^ Also has a high score of 107474

Theplanman: It's called "Print Screen". It's the button in the far upper right corner of your keyboard. Just hit that, close the game, open MSPaint, then hit "paste".

I feel bad I went to Elite Eraser now c.c

@Wedge

yeah, eraser can get some really high scores if you know how to use it
Wedge's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/24/2008 22:11
Wedge
It'd take me all week, but I could probably get a Stealth Ninja Mono. Sad thing is, I don't know if it would beat the Eraser score. Boo broken scoring =<

4th. So umm, we're only allowed one pic? What if i try again and get like...up a ranking? Also, I think there should be a difficulty restriction.

Side Note: Awesome song!!!

@Jetsetlemming, Spartacus, Wedge and Palidi
For this song any difficulty is acceptable. I do plan on putting different kinds of restrictions on future songs, so don't worry about this one being "too open", it is the first week after all.


@Theplanman
I'm not sure how stable the Audiosurf leaderboards servers will be through out the contest, so that's why screenshots are needed.

Well, you can see my score in Palidi's shot. I got a backup if you need it though.

Try using the double V character, I'm almost certain that using that is the only way to beat Conrad's score.

I did, but I sucked trying to control two ships at once. I'll try it again later.
