Quirk Thursday

Whoa. Time to defy gravity. How? Simple. Levitation.







Levitation is probably Aspi33's masterpiece. Scratch that, it IS. This 100% gwell track showcases Aspi's natural aptitude for gwells. Not much to say. 10/10

Hmm... what could possibly compete with Levitation. Oh wait, I hear it coming... CHOOCHOO! Hold on, this isn't Inukaza, it's... EACHARE!








Eachare' masterpiece isn't exactly pure alt quirk so it fits for today. Now, it's down to buisness. I will judge this professi-- SWEET ONION CHUTNEY, THIS IS A LEGENDARY TRACK! ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL! I PITY THE FOO' WHO DOESN'T LIKE THIS TRACK! 10/10


I don't need to judge. Today is a good day. It's an easy tie. Perfect scores on both ends.

Oldies but goodies #1

Sometimes in Line Rider, we forget the past. Today is the day for reminiscing. Behold, the discovery of the gwell!



This not so much a review as it is a rememberance. The discovery of the gravity well took the Line Rider community by storm, and those restricted to flatsledding and scenery alone were, then and there, now classified as noobs. Sadly, I fell into that list for a while. I got back out (with a little help) and have found my solace in blogging ABOUT Line Rider, but that's beside the point. This kick-started the quirk age (someone said that before, I don't remember) and Line Rider became more than just the "Genius Toy". It became a total and complete ART.

XY Tuesday #1

Today is XY Tuesday...

Whut? FC made an XY? This should be interesting.







Hoo boy, THAT was a bit of a head trip. Bosh never stopped, and the flow didn't either, and in terms of tricks, a recylcled XY Granual doesn't seem too shabby! The whole thing was great, down to a very interesting stall. This should be quite a contender against whatever I'm reviewing next. My only complaint (And an angry nub complaint, like the ones you see on YouTube that say "WRY IZ HEE ALVAYZ ON HEEZ KNOWS OR TAYL???!? EETS ANOYINNGG!!!1!!one!" ): Slow DOWN! A LITTLE??!? PLEASE??!?!?!?!??!?!!??
Whatever. 10/10

Hooboy. Ram Tzu, anyone?



Flow DYnamiX is the perfect name for this track. It flows, aaaaaand... (drumroll) it's dynamic!
NO complaints on this one. The way Ram Tzu managed to combine alt XY, XY flings, XY manuals, aaaaaand... (more drumroll) RECYCLED XY manuals continues to amaze me. Nothing else to say. 10/10


PARALLEL HORIZONS
Flow: FLOWFLOWFLOW 5pts.
Manuals: A few, kinda tipsy... mosty granuals. 4pts.
Speed: Almost TOO fast. TrAcK mAkE mE... dIzZy. 4pts.
Creativity: Yeah! 5pts.
Stall: ??? in a good way. 5pts.
Recycled XY Granual! +1pt.
Most Nose Pinches EVAH! +1pt.
Total Points: 25pts. WOOT!

FLOW DYNAMIX
Flow: FLOWFLOWFLOWFLOW 5pts.
Manuals: Lots of 'em. 5pts.
Speed: Perfect! 5pts.
Crativity: Omnistyle XY FTW! 5pts.
Stall: Interesting variation! 5pts.
Tail Granual! +1pt.
Recycled XY manuals! +1pt.
Total Points: 27pts. Perfect!

That was close, but RAM TZU IS THE WINRAR with a perfect score

AAAND ONE MORE...

I got a request from MSX on ELR to review Manual Chaos 4, and I'm happy to do that. You roxorz MSX!

Manual Chaos 4






Okay, for those of you from ELR, I think MSX should be AM. Just a shout-out. Anyway, the track itself is good, the flings in particular. But I'm here to review MANUALS today. The manuals of which I speak are nice, but they all seemed a bit wobbly, but only a bit, so you end up gripping your seat in rapt fascination wondering: "Is Bosh going to suddenly start flatsledding? Will I suddenly find that MSX is a total noob who can't balance manuals?"

This is NEVER the case, because MSX roxorz. Aaandther were a few flow killers. So this is my nooby advice, MSX: smooth out your manuals, try not to kill the flow, and your tracks might one day get that 10 that is the Holy Grail of Pwnenateage on OTDE Sez. 8.5/10 overall





MANUAL CHAOS 4
Manuals: A bit wobbly... 3pts.
Length: Nice! 5pts.
Speed: Good! 4pts.
Creativity: There seemed to be a fling after almost every manual... 3pts.
Stall: Hmm... put some more time into this. 2pts.
Flow Killers! -1pt.
Recycle! +1pt.
Total Points: 17 Not Bad!

You ROXORZ MSX.

Manual Monday #1

It's Manual Monday! Let's start off with a little HKay.

Secrecy- by HKay




Secrecy is exactly what a manual track should be. The manuals are perfectly balanced, and the occasional granual/flanual/fling keeps things interesting. All the manuals are really smooth. These days you see a certain wobble wobble among manuals. But in this track, even the recycled manuals are smooth as can be. The only thing I must say is that sometimes it seemed like HKay was losing inspiration toward the end. Nice stall, not too creative but nice nonetheless. All in all a great manual track. 9.75/10 overall.

Okay, HKay go bye-bye. How about a little Georg?

Phonolite- by georgiojc




Okay, this is a great track as well, but he was obviously using Circle Maker here (shame). I actually use this too (double shame), but any self-respecting manualer makes their own curves. Kudos to Georg, though, for having some variety in his flings. However, I am reviewing this by its manuals, not its flings, and though it is nice, it's not really up as high as some of Devray's tracks and the like. Though I gotta say, the stall was creative and the "G" logo was nice. 9.5/10 overall.

Scoring Time!

SECRECY
Manuals: Awesome! 5pts.
Length: Nice! 5pts.
Speed: Good! 4pts.
Creativity: eee... uhh... 3pts.
Stall: Good, could be better. 4pts
Smoothness! +1pt.
Manucycling! +1pt.
Ione didn't want to scene it :( -1pt.
Flow Rox! +1pt
Total Points: 23 Yay!


PHONOLITE
Manuals: Good! 4pts.
Length: Medium... 4pts.
Speed: Slow at times... 3pts.
Creativity: WOOT! 5pts.
Stall: Pwnage. 5pts
Circle Maker (shame). -1pt.
Wobbly Manucycle! -1pt
G! +1pt.
Total Points: 20 :)

FINAL SCORE
HKay--23
Georg--20

HKAY IS THE WINRAR...

Hai!

Hai. I'm OTDE, which stands for OffTheDeepEnd. This blog will review the best Line Rider vids on YouTube. So this is kind of like getting a KirbyWard, though not as prestigious, seeing as LineKirby is not a total nub like me. Is YOUR video worthy of a spot? I'm talkin' to you guys at ELR, you know, FC, Bush (BUSHBUSH), Pure, SCG, and so on and so forth. First review comin' soon!
