A Short Note on My New Profile Photo and The Rampability of Old Ladies

Man, you have to admit, I'm one smooth bastard. That picture was actually taken when I crashed some Count castle up in the Carpathian Mountains last summer, his name was Orlok or something like that. I of course brought my own robe with me but I helped myself to other stuff, like the Count's diary that is literally pages and pages of creepy poems about some chick named Ellen.

Regarding yesterdays post about Senior Crocodile Citizens, one of my currently only commenters "The Hat" tried to argue that old ladies native to Seattle have more rampability than your average old lady.
I must say that I doubt that because much SCIENCE has been done in this area of research and it is currently accepted that your standard non-mutated old lady is too frail to serve as a satisfactory ramp. So I compiled this small list of what has good rampability and what has bad rampability.
Examples of Bad Rampability:
  • Old ladies
  • Fat people
  • Vertical walls
  • Telemarketers
  • Live sharks
  • IKEA ramps
Example of Good Rampability:
  • Cows
  • Dumpsters
  • Old crocodile ladies
  • Bishops
  • Dead sharks
  • Actual ramps


You should probably watch out for Croco-geezers in your neighborhood, Mr. The Hat. They have many sharp teeth and large powerful tails that are not normally found in old people.

fat people have decent rampability if you end up going from the legs to the head... it's just the other way that doesn't work.

Nah, you can use them as ramps but it has no particularly good rampabilty because the soft fat slows down most wheeled vehicles.

Well, If you hit the angle right, you catch good air, but it only works once per old lady. Ya' know, cause their so frail
