I was inspired of this little bit of jargon over in the Chrono Trigger forum:

Crisis Arm + healing magic + Uzzi Punch + cool theme music = frickin' awesome.

Funny, I've always been of the opinion that this equation should be included in every math textbook. Right on top of the section about trigonometry...

And was inspired to create this curious thread.

What great gaming combo/calculations have you made that equal instant awesomeness or instant death to baddies or instant charisma boost or health boost or whatever? What have you tried and tested as a winning gameathmetician?

I wanna' think up more, but for this spur of the moment thread business, I'll have to go with...

Crono+** SPD+**PWR+Haste Helm+Rainbow Sword = Some deadly business

So, let's see some awesome, and maybe ridiculous, calculations!

Scepticism, that dry rot of the intellect, had not left one entire idea in his mind.

Me on the Starcraft.

I'm afraid I have to steal one that Neal first threw out there recently:

You = You + Dead

Pretty sure it's recent enough that it came out during Left 4 Dead?

My early Rufus strategy, articulated in bad C++

while(alive=1){
if ("is your Ultra meter full?"==1)
then TRY YOUR ULTRA UNTIL YOU PULL IT OFF;
else if ("do you have any super bar?"==1)
then EX MESSIAH KICK;
else if ("is your opponent a full screen away?"==1)
then JUMPING DOWN MEDIUM KICK;
else if ("is your opponent right in your face?"==1)
then BACK THROW;
else if ("is your opponent jumping in on you?"==1)
then STANDING HARD PUNCH;
else if ("is your opponent within about five in-game feet?"==1)
then MEDIUM MESSIAH KICK;
else if ("is your opponent within about ten in-game feet?"==1)
then CROUCHING HARD PUNCH;
else MAKE SOME SHIT UP;}

I believe this truly equates death to nothingness? Am I wrong on that assumption?

Here's a good and relevant equation:

Pokemon Diamond + Pokemon Pearl + Pokemon Platinum = 3 Pokemon Games

And, as each Pokemon = $35 this equates to:

Pokemon Game($35) x 3 = $105

and so, in conclusion:

$105 = OMG, you spent this much on your Pokemons???

Final Synopsis

I gotta just start saving my money.

Also:

Killzone 2 + no crosshair = Elite Difficulty * my tears

pokemon one:

Gyarados + Fire Starter + Kadabra = instant win

That was actually from college. There was an extremely unpopular computer science professor who was very unhelpful, and somebody made a flash animation about the experience with trying to get him to help you during his office hours. It was pretty much him grunting and sweating, then attacking the student and ending with "You = You + Dead!"

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while

Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

Battletoads & Double Dragon + 2 enemies = 1 drawn out zero-to-death jab combo

Btoads & DD Level 4 + 1 SNES controller = 1 broken B button

Guess what game I've been playing.

Me + Halo 3 + Online Play = Kill to death ratio of -14

It's truly sad how honest that equation is.

The same for me.. Stupid rainbow D:

Me + My 3 brothers + "Perfect Dark" = Hours of hiding, shooting, and fun.

I like that game.

Thank you Link, but our Triforce is in another castle.

Replace with:

Me + X + Y = Hours of hiding, shooting, and fun.

Where X is equal to my bestest best friends and Y is equal to Golden Eye or Perfect Dark.

Me + Game = Insomnia

me+Ubisoft game= utter and visceral rage

Mount&Blade+BIIIIIG AXE= Hours upon hours upon days of hack'nslash action

--------------------

Since I advertise CoN there I think it's only fair that I advertise The Wiki here.

Me + Hours of video gameage + parents tripping over playstation chord and unplugging the whole shibang + not having saved in over half an hour =
APOCALYPSE.

--------------------

*Sigh*....Times are tough

me + my girlfriend + 2 other friends + 50 inch plasma TV + mario kart wii + 30 pack of miller light = hillarious races that never get old.

Final Fantasy VII storyline + 1 million bucks + best video game producers in the world = STILL terrible story...

me + fortress forever + sniper class + sniper rifle + full OT server = 50-1 kill ratio

WotL Onion Knight + Excalibur + Onion Shield + Ribbon + Onion Armor + Featherweave Cloak + low faith = unhittable, massive damage dealing, tank that cant move for crap...

(the above equation)5 =

Me with big axe+your head on chopping block for your FFVI comment = Satisfaction (JUUUUUUST JOKING!) (or was I...)

Mog+My sister = non stop cuddling (She actually has a Mog rag doll)

The radius of a playstation disc is about 7" we can find the circumference by the equation πr2 which is equivalent 22 7ths

pi can be is equal to 3.14159 and to infinity and beyond. But we'll just use 3.14 for this equation.

14 x 3.14 = 43.96

therefore the circumference of an average playstation disc is 21.98

EDIT: forgot to square it again D:

...No.

If the radius is 7 inches, the circumference is 2*(22/7)*7, which is about 44. You're only half-right.

I am interested to see how you put a 14" diameter disk into a normal Playstation. 7" radius is an absurd estimate.

Yeah, on second thought you're right. A 7-inch diameter is probably more accurate, which would make his original result correct in answer but not in calculation.
