Title: Why do people keep on saying the megasphere is a myth?
Post by: Angles of death on April 08, 2010, 10:04
I have got about 6 megaspheres [not in current version]so why do people keep on saying there fake?
Did kornel cut them out of the new version or something?I have only ever got them on itytd [NOT in current version the version RIGHT before master traits]Remember these were in the version before master traits.

I know that there's some correlation between the rarity of the orbs and the difficulty that one's playing on. When you're playing on a higher difficulty, every individual level has a higher difficulty, and thus alots more orbs per level, or something. So on higher difficulties you're more likely to find megaspheres.

I say this because I routinely play on HMP and I get alteast one megasphere each game.

Oh God, another guy trying to convince everyone that Megaspheres actually exist...

Don't blast'em just because you're a nonbeliever.

They're not nonbelievers, they're realists. Megaspheres don't exist, there is nothing to believe into.

Megasphere? What Megasphere, I've never seen one. What would it even be in DoomRL, a powerup that gives free ammo, like in original DOom? This would be stupid, and counter-intuitive with the inventory managemet being present.

I think it's one of those "rules of the internet": the less funny a joke is, the more people repeat it. ;)

The essence of Memetic Mutation. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to convert these mudkipz into worshiping Haruhi Suzumiya while deriving while I derive.

Megaspheres give 200% health and repair armour to 100% (not sure about bulk-modded armour). I have revieved them. Look on the wiki if you must.

You have to prove that Megaspheres exits. I can say, that in DooMRL there are newts and a secret Cow Level.

Sadly the CTRL+C glitch no longer can be used to access the DoomRL cow level. =/

Therefore, the only way inside that remains is to find Daimoneus, Old Arch-Vile Sage and give him a Hell Staff and a supercharge globe, no ?

Oh crap, I just spoiled. Luckily, I didn't tell that he hides in the bottom right corner of Hell Fortress or you guys would finish me.

I found a megasphere with my last winner so it is not a myth.

Oh, come on, you just found cheap plastic imitation of Megasphere. True one, if myths are to be believed gives you 1000% health, indestructibility of armor and spawns a special portal that leads to [CENSORED] where you can [CENSORED].

Oh. And I have found Cassette player that takes as ammo Rick Astley or Engelbert Humperdinck hits. So, this cannot be a myth...

Sssh. I wouldn't speak it if I were you, honestly.
BBC News : Government hides Megaspheres. (http://uk.video.yahoo.com/watch/651156/3025838)

EDIT : Fixed the link. The previous one appeared to be broken, sheesh.

Informative link, but I think perhaps you're coming close to Megasphere heresy.

I know they don't exist, come on, it's just that I am a little bit suprised that guys in high places don't, right ? Put da shottie down, plox.
