Ok, two truths and a lie...

1. When I was about 10 I started drawing (pencil on paper) levels for a 'Sonic the Hedgehog' game I'd imagined. I have dozens of them; I was making them into my mid-teens.
2. The first computer game I made on a computer, the first playable game, was a series of levels on a level designer for a Pacman-style game called 'Zapman', where you have a gun and can shoot the enemies. My levels are shaped like GBA Zelda dungeons.
3. After playing 'Knytt Stories' for the first time, I looked at the level designer and decided it was so complicated I'd never be able to use it. I was inspired to try again by a dream I had of a level I'd like to make. I've never made anything resembling the level from that dream.

I'm going for 3 as the lie because it seems to contradict itself.

It's quite hard to choose, really. Each of the three statements looks and sounds very real.

So I guess 2.

2 was the lie. The game is real and it did have the capacity to play custom levels, but not a facility to make them.

The rest is true!

 :)

1. I have successfully completed level Dark Sea by SecretGlitch several times.
2. I have successfully completed level Eurydice by Talps several times.
3. I have successfully completed level Endless Winter by Bulbapuck several times.

Edit: Thanks sergiocornaga! The article THE in the first sentence is wrong. It's Dark Sea actually, not The Dark Sea.

1 is clearly a lie since a level called 'The Dark Sea' doesn't exist! One called just 'Dark Sea', on the other hand...

But 3 is also clearly a lie since 'Endless Winter' is a collaborative level rather than the sole work of Bulbapuck!

2 is probably a lie too for some reason. So uh, don't count this as an actual guess.

'The Dark Sea' may be a typo but 'Endless Winter' seems more likely to be a deliberate inaccuracy. I'm gonna guess '3' is the lie.

My guess is for #1.
Things to remember when writing figures of speech and sound:
The power of poetry comes from the ability to defy logic. Defy logic often.

Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky. Tell us that your lover is the sky. When you do that, we won't believe you. We won't believe you because saying so makes no sense, but we'll see a meaning. We'll see a meaning.

The other thing is the ability to be remembered. Love anything.

Love anything

Your turn, Fubaka. I have completed more than half of Dark Sea, but I can't reach the end though.

'The Dark Sea' may be a typo

Oh...yes, it's a typo :oops:. Sorry for that. It was written in a hurry.

but 'Endless Winter' seems more likely to be a deliberate inaccuracy. I'm gonna guess '3' is the lie.

Definitely not. I chose three levels. And I don't care if it is actually a normal or collaborative level or what. I call all KS levels simply as a "levels". I'm not good at terminology at all :).

I knew it.  Dark Sea is easily the hardest of the three levels you mentioned, so that choice seemed most reasonably false.

Alright, here goes.

1: I am a huge fan of the Kirby series, and particularly of its squishy pink protagonist.
2: Despite #1, I feel no desire to buy Kirby and the Rainbow Curse.
3: My favorite game for the Wii is Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

3 statemsnts about Kirby almost makes me think 1 has to be true.

A huge fan would therefor buy the game and for that reason I'm going to say that 2 is the lie.

I pick 3. Kirby's Epic Yarn was better, right?

Sergio is correct.

Epic Yarn was cute, but Return to Dream Land is much better.  Regardless, it still falls short of my two other favorite Wii games, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

Also, while I am a fan of Kirby games in general, I prefer the games where you can actually walk around as opposed to being led on a rainbow brush all the time.

I guess cuteness isn't the primary metric by which you judge all media. Weird!

Anyway:
1. I've got an almost-finished Knytt Stories level that I haven't worked on in ages. It's about an island that holds the secret of immortality.
2. I've got an almost-finished Knytt Stories level that I haven't worked on in ages. It's about surviving a spooky malfunctioning environment.
3. I've got an almost-finished Knytt Stories level that I haven't worked on in ages. It's about the horrors of being underground.
