Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: eddie1 Date: 08 Nov 06 - 04:34 AM Wow! 283.4! Maybe cos I look a lot like Santa it gives me some kind of advantage? Eddie |

Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: eddie1 Date: 08 Nov 06 - 07:22 AM You click on a wheel to start the thing rolling then click on Santa and release when you want to fire him. If you click on Santa too soon, it goes back then slams him into the snow just in front which is quite satisfying - but doesn't score! Eddie |

Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: JennyO Date: 08 Nov 06 - 08:55 AM Ha! Now I get it. When you click on Santa the slingshot goes back and you have to release at the right time when it's way back and before they all fall down the hole. I was really happy when I got into the hundreds, then occasionally in the 200's, and just now I got 303.6. And I don't even look like Santa. Maybe living with someone who does has the same effect :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: JennyO Date: 08 Nov 06 - 08:58 AM 323.6 and I almost hit a reindeer! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: JennyO Date: 08 Nov 06 - 09:10 AM 341.9 and very very close to that reindeer. I wonder what will happen if I hit it? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: JennyO Date: 08 Nov 06 - 10:01 AM Hmm. I'm wasting WAY too much time on this. 350.4 will do me I think. And Santa doesn't hit the reindeer, he just sorta slides in front of it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: Mo the caller Date: 08 Nov 06 - 10:07 AM 237.9 Has anyone had him doing somersaults above the hole and never coming down, cos we did |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: Leadfingers Date: 08 Nov 06 - 10:24 AM 293.9 !! And I could have done without the bloody yodelling !! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: JennyO Date: 08 Nov 06 - 10:33 AM Somersaults? Do you mean when you pull back too far when you're right on the edge and it tells you you're stupid? I've seen him doing continuous somersaults at the edge of the sleigh then. Or do you mean when they all go over the edge and the elves tread the air for a while before falling, and eventually Santa comes down too, bouncing off the edge as he goes? As for the yodelling, I've found that after you've been playing for a while, the yodelling stops. That way you can hear Santa's bloodcurdling screams better ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: Mo the caller Date: 08 Nov 06 - 10:51 AM He went up in the air and somersaulted over the hole, never came down. Its only happened once |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: eddie1 Date: 08 Nov 06 - 11:09 AM There seems to be some confusion here! Can I make it very clear that I do not live with JennyO. I am however, open to offers. Would "I can help you to catapult Santa further" be a good selling point? Eddie |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: JennyO Date: 08 Nov 06 - 11:31 AM Nah, the person I share my abode with is another Santa lookalike altogether, although he wouldn't like to hear me saying it. He says he doesn't look like Santa - Santa looks like him. What do you think? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: RangerSteve Date: 08 Nov 06 - 08:03 PM 298.1, but after that, I never even came close. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: JennyO Date: 08 Nov 06 - 09:02 PM Sounds like my 350.4 might stand as a record for a while! I wish it would tell you what others' top scores are. There's a button to click that says "upload your score" but nothing happens when you click it - or at least nothing happened for me. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: JennyO Date: 09 Nov 06 - 05:56 AM I showed this game to John, my Santa lookalike friend, and he heartily approves of it. He especially likes the bit when Santa falls down the chasm with a big whoop and holler! A couple of years ago he got so sick of people comparing him to Santa Claus that he wrote this song: Beard Protest Song. John Warner 2 May 2004 (spoken) I protest! Surely my hirsute features cannot be sufficient cause, For all the kids in Sydney to call me "Santa Claus" I don't look a bit like Santa Claus, My verdict is official, If the beard on me is all you see, Then your look's too superficial, There's Karl Marx and Henry Parkes, With whom I could be compared, But its plain to see that you can't see me, If you just see the big, white beard. We don't judge folks by the slant of their eyes, Nor yet the colour of their skin, You don't match a fella like Nelson Mandela, With the likes of Idi Amin. Well I'm the same, I resent the game, Folks play when they make compare. It aint no joke, there's a unique bloke, Beneath this facial hair. It'd turn me grey what people say, When I'm strolling around the town, Why, apart from my belly I could be Ned Kelly, If my hair was a bit more brown, W.G. Grace had a barbate face, Though perhaps not quite as hoary, And Ho Chi Min's, though a bit more thin, Was his countenential glory. So I'm nothing at all like the bloke in the mall, With the bright red pom-pom hat, A marketing play from the USA I'm not, and that is that. I sing great songs and folk sing along, I perform to wild applause, And I'll sing this, chum, ad-nauseum If you dare say I'm Santa Claus. So to hell with the henna and the burnt sienna, And I'm not gonna trim it short, Go and embarrass that bloke Rolf Harris, Tie your own kangaroo down sport. There's more out there than facial hair, If you need some cause for offence. Till the day I've died, I'll wear with pride, This beard on my countenence. I don't look a bit like Santa Claus, My verdict is official, If the beard on me is all you see, Then your look's too superficial, There's Karl Marx and Henry Parkes, With whom I could be compared, but it's plain to see that you don't see me, If you just see a big white beard. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 Nov 06 - 10:42 AM Is it possible to get Santa actually TO the reindeer? I came very close. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: JennyO Date: 09 Nov 06 - 10:51 AM Yes SRS, further up in the thread I was wondering what would happen if he hit it, and when I got my top score of 350.4, he reached it, but instead of hitting it, he slid along the ground and finished up in front of the reindeer. I haven't been able to better that score since unfortunately (or even get close most of the time). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: GUEST Date: 09 Nov 06 - 01:29 PM Typical - I started the thread and haven't seen sight or sound of a reindeer yet...still hovering in the low 200's. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 Nov 06 - 03:57 PM I had to work at it, and I only did so because I'd seen mention of the reindeer. I didn't read the thread closely to find Jenny's note further up. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: Bassic Date: 09 Nov 06 - 04:52 PM Got 350.4 a couple of times but cant beat it JennyO. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: Liz the Squeak Date: 09 Nov 06 - 04:53 PM I just get him carooming off the sides of the ravine, and my soundcard isn't working... :( LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: Liz the Squeak Date: 09 Nov 06 - 05:21 PM Oh... saw my first 'domestic' Christmas tree (it's too early to even be an 'Advent bush') on Tuesday... 6ft tree, lights, fairy, decorations, the lot. Surely that's worth booting into a crevasse...? LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: Bassic Date: 09 Nov 06 - 05:23 PM Done a bit of surfing and 350.4 looks like the maximum anyone has got on this particular version of the game. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: JennyO Date: 09 Nov 06 - 08:19 PM I was beginning to suspect the same thing Bassic. How did you find that out? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ho Ho HO arrrggghhhhh From: JennyO Date: 09 Nov 06 - 08:51 PM One thing I've discovered is that when they all go over the edge and the elves do a little dance and then fall, and Santa eventually starts to come down, if you click on him in mid-air, he does somersaults indefinitely in the air. I just did some googling and saw a suggestion somewhere that to get beyond the 350.4 there is a trick. The person wouldn't say exactly what trick, but it had to do with watching the "trailer" - I think they mean what you see when you first go to the game, so my guess would be that maybe you can get him to bounce off a particular mountain, but I can't seem to do it. |
