Title: Fight with USB drives!
Post by: Snake X on January 03, 2011, 04:52:59 pm
So today in my advanced computer science class, one of my friends found this website that will allow you to fight with usb flash drive monsters! The way this works is that you have different flash drives and SSD's to choose from (up to 4) and you can create your own "Media Monster". You are able to fight against random monsters, rankings, and the final boss! You progress through the game by being beat most of the time at the beginning, but as you progress you gain gigabytes to make your Media Monster even stronger. Cool eh? Here's some pic's of in-game play:

This seems rather unfair. All of the other players (or bots?) all have like 30,000 games. Still very interesting though.

To quote myself, I think I figured this game out. When you stop playing, the game uses your player to fight other real people. It still updates your stats which is why the bots have so many games played and all have at least one stat at 100. Also, the reason that some of the bots have so many games is that the view by rank is broken and shows the same bots every time.

Btw, I beat The Verbatim.

Quote from: What my USB monsters' names stand for
ELM = Erica Leonard McCoy (an original character of mine from my Star Trek fanfiction)
DOD = Department of Defense
TI+ = Texas Instruments Plus (Couldn't fit "TI 83+")
DFK = De Forest Kelley (one of my favorite actors, played Doctor McCoy in the original Star Trek series)
Anyone else wanna share what their USB monsters' names stand for?



I'm thinking of creating a list of all of our USB monsters, so that we can have battles with each other./me is really getting into this.

REPLAY: DOD vs. JOS (http://www.verbatim.jp/senshuken/?id=4503279)
DOD took him down eventually.

I'll write up the list tomorrow when I have the time.

And I have made a fifth one, that I've named 'GOD'.

Everybody's monsters fight better when their owner is controlling them.

I killed 666 and beat DOD 3 times.

I made a second one - it's named DNR.

Agreed. In my case it's because I use a better strategy than mine do when left to fend for themselves.

I killed 666 and beat DOD 3 times.
I created 666 this morning, and it hasn't really won any battles yet, so I'm not surprised about that. As for DOD, well, he's got this tendency to waffle, so again, I'm not surprised.


At the rate that I keep making new monsters, I might just make a post in my livejournal with links to all of my monsters and have a link to that in my signature.

Also, I agree. The computer never fights as well as a person would.

I wonder how long it takes to get into first place.
Title: Re: Fight with USB drives!
Post by: holmes221b on January 05, 2011, 12:36:52 pm
Probably at least six months (presuming a victory ratio of 5 wins per one loss, with the user playing that monster only for that time), I think.
Title: Re: Fight with USB drives!
