Here's something I thought about while I was talking to my friends, it really puzzled me...

How old are Curly and Quote?

I later found out that by doing some math skillz and taking account of the human/mimiga war...

They'd be about 12-14.

- - -

What the hell is Monster X?

Honestly, he's the biggest puzzle I've seen since dog-collecting...

- - -

This one i find funny:

I have figured out there are infinite endings.

Take this into account:
Type of weapon
Amount of HP
What the hell you did to Curly/Chaco
Booster
Medals
Ammo booster
Whimsical Stars
etc.

- - -

Does Jack serve any ACTUAL purpose in Cave Story?

along with Chaco, the mimigas at the plantation and frickin' Toroko

That sounds interesting. Could you please post your calculations?

Monsetr X. Exactly what it says on the tin. In other words, a random bossfight thrown in just to annoy players.

Not so fast Bucko! Since there is only a finite number of criteria, each with a finite number of possibilities, there is only a finite, albeit very high, number of endings. QED

Sure he does. He blocks your path into the graveyeard until you prove you're worth entering.
Chaco gives you lipstick (and, unfortunately, she created JacobX891) and Toroko, well, it's always nice to have somebody to shoot in the face... twice.

Uh...sure!

Well, it kinda started out with Curly and Quote's creation, which I would imagine would take a friggin' long time...

And then there's the test runs for when they boot up, which would take a year to make flawless...

hen the war, which I forget how long it takes, but im pretty sure 10 years ago sounds like the thing that says "Quote's 11"

But I dig a bit deeper into it, and realize that the war could've lasted somewhat longer...So my theory stopped at Quote and Curly being 14.

Yes, not math skillz, but hey...Still fun to solve. ;)

Wait, which friends? Internet or RL(after an explanation from wise ol' Haithm) outside internet?

Dog collecting is damn strange. Even stranger than the teleport-dog puzzle in Jenka's Nightmare.
But probably it's just a work of somebody who sent Jenka there(who sent her there? herself?) to make her feel lonely?
Or probably it's just Misery likes to (without permission or with force) take one of them out for a walk then always loses them and then take another and lose another...
Misery's kinda old, rite?

Now I understand.... WAIT! Jacob frequents with his own mum?! ROTFLOLMAOMG!!!

But hey, Toroko kinda contributes to the story wat? She explained how she and Sue are having a relationship or whatever... she gets kidnapped in place of Sue or else Sue'd.... whatever they wanted to do to Sue.(I forgot what it was ;))

Mimigas at the Plantation..... they're plain background fillers.
(IMO) Whoever you don't need to talk to simply doesn't do anything to the story. This includes Jack(except to make him GTFO from the grave door).

Outside the internet, they don't care much for Cave Story, but I got over it when I started thinking XD

Misery I would guess would be in her early to mid 20's

1. LOL at Jacob

2. Toroko's job is to have a gay relationship with Sue and to be shot FREQUENTLY

3. Jack is pretty out there...If all he does is just fight shrooms...

4. Yay Filler

HAWT!

And Toroko didn't just become a damsel in distress or Sue's playmate, but was also a test dummy.

www.wtf.org but at least they KNOW Cave Story, rite? (else ur nuts)

Really? But I kept thinking she's about 50+. Probaly because she's a witch. In Malay, NENEK kebayan.

It's not lying. I just combined T's statement(that Chaco made you) with yours("fuckchacofuckchacofuckchacofuckchacofuckchacofuckchaco").
You admitted yours and T-Jack's sound rite enough.

And btw that yuri pic looks kinda kawaii.

Sorry, Jacob. Heh heh heh...

JacobX891 said:
I'd say Misery is anywhere from 50-75, because witches and whatever you consider Ballos to be live a lot longer than humans.
Jenka I'd say is 150-200+
Ballos I'm guessing is probably 120-150.
Huh? I thought Jenka and Ballos were several hundred or even thousand years old... How old Misery is depends on whether the time she spent hibernated counts.

When she was trapped in that funky space bubble, time was all distorted and stuff, so she's like 'WHOA, man, this is way trippy! Time is all, like, slowed down!' So like, that's why that time might not count, man, because she was all slow and junk, almost immobilized in there, couldn't leave, man. She, like, aged slower and stuff.
But I guess that's what happens when you ask your uncle to make you a power helmet.

Oh yeah...

I for got about that...

...

HOLY $@#% SHE'S OLD :(

I don't remember the funky bubble part being explained inside the game(it was kinda outside the game)... so I wondered how you knew that far. It makes sense, though.

No because it a ending doesnt happen based on most of those criteria,
[[[A game which ive seen that happen in is "kid icarus" on nes, Depending on your level, weapon strength, Hearts(money). There was 4 endings-You needed max of all these to get the best ending, Even having 1 heart less then the max made you get the second best ending even if the other criteria had been met]]]

Even so, that's not infinit. That's a large number, but nowhere near infinit.

These things are possible ways to play through the game, not endings. You can pick up some health capsules or you can leave them be and you'll still get a shot at the same ending(s) in either case.

There are only 5 endings: the good ending, the bad ending, the best ending, leaping off of the island (more of an instant game over...) and that one you get when you give Misery the petals. The exe and the maps' event scripts have been picked clean and no other "secretly-hidden" endings exist. Trust me. :p Your items are not taken into consideration (though the choices you make that result in getting them sometimes are.)

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing...

Isn't that classified as a death rather than an ending?
