To celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog's 20th anniversary, I have undertaken the E.G.G.M.A.N challenge, and it's driven me into a state of almost comfortable insanity. In order to take the challenge, you play the above video, which is the Sonic Adventure 2 song "E.G.G.M.A.N" looped for fifteen minutes. 

At first, the music (and your desire to know why someone looped this for fifteen minutes) will overwhelm you, but after about the third loop, you'll start to pick out lyrics. Eventually, you'll realize that he says that all of his machines are built for destruction, but that he then goes on to say that he will build an empire. 

Before you hit the fifth playthrough, you will be obsessing over how one builds an empire with an army that can only destroy. 

The death of 27% of your brain will follow.

Is it bad that I listened to the entirety of that, and felt a little nostalgic for Sonic Adventure 2? Man, I spent way too much time playing mediocre Dreamcast games way back when.

Ratatox

I won ;D

Moloks

Just finished and to be honest, it was quite easy..

Now, if you excuse me, my phone's new ringtone is gonna have the master plan...

Ghouly Scout

I kind of wish there was a female that echoes him when it says Eggman.

I am enjoying this way too much <3.

Watts

Is it wrong that i started doing the Rick Astley shuffle half way through this? I heard more of the lyrics each time it played. This almost makes me want to buy Adventure on Live while its on sale.

Phaazoid

ok. initially enjoyed it. didn't realize it was actually looping until maybe 5 min in. started loosing grip on reality around 8:30. no more. NO MORE

You know, you're right! I CAN still turn my life around and become a Productive Member O' Society!

DF

With his machines, there is no retreat.

I always had a real soft spot for the Sonic Boom song from Sonic CD myself

Butternine

I couldn't do it. I really tried. About eleven minutes in my brain went numb.

How many people didn't do anything while attempting this? I mean, I sat there and stared at the Sonic logo and gave my full attention to the song. I'd rather undergo Chinese water torture for elevin minutes than listen to the whole fifteen minutes uninterrupted. O_o

Butternine

eleven* SEE?!? :)

Gengario

Hmm... is BrawlBRSTMs the new SilvaGunner? I hope so.

"I LOVE TO DESTROY!"

Arch649

That game's entire soundtrack was awful.

Wrath and Pride

Brian Green

insanity aint so bad once you just give into it ... and take my meds

Brian Green

i cant even tell when/where this song loops im at like 5 minutes ... eh ive already lost my sanity a good 8 years ago guess this is one of the side effects of that

Brian Green

all i can think of when listening to this is the beatles music that was laced with acid and LSD (i am the walrus song)

Brian Green

at 10 minutes now ... atleast im getting to take a nice slow relaxing shit cuz of having to listen to this song

Brian Green

okay made it ... song totally sounds like if Doctor Rockso (i do cocaine) made a song with the band who does the Dynasty Warriors songs

a cookie for everyone who knows who dr. rockso is

Mike Moran

Back when I was a kid this song seemed so catchy and badass. Nostalgia factor go.

Nobunaga Oda

Alright I got about to 8 Minutes and realized where my life was heading. I AM THE EGG MAN. The more you listen to it the better his Vocals get.

Blizzmaster

Done. I don't feel insane, but that's probably a side effect of the insanity.

Sentient 6

That game was awesome; I don't care what anyone says.

JFF

"I got the mAAAaaasteeer plan!"

JFF

I swear they're saying "I am the egg rider" the first couple of times.

trueb7ue

AISSION MCCOMPLISHED.

And I only lost 26.4% of my brain cells!

Moltar

How do you build an Empire with an army that can only destroy? Eggman is pretty much a neo-Genghis Khan

jeremycards

lol, you and your trolling Jim, never change.

Namodacranks

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle was easily the best Sonic game ever. I remember I had both a light and a Dark Chao, then I lost my memory card... #FML

Ozzy2501

I did it and it was easy but purely because i listened to Nyancat for an hour once..

DrButler

I conquered this song with my tools.

TheOGB

I like this song.

@BrianGreen
He's the god damn rock & roll clown that's who he is.

Now gimme my cookie. I wanna dip it in my Duncan Hills coffee.

OWENR22

I just passed your bloody challenge, Jim, you cunt! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!?!?

Druseph

I left it in the background thinking it wouldn't be a big deal... around 11 min I started sweating and trembling...

Wesley Susaya

I left this on while I surfed the internet and it was over before I knew it!
