I think he is making a reference to my statement about PSP -not that he got a KS.

Yeah, shortly after replying I began to suspect that I had misinterpreted the "L=22" reference.

I'll leave my reply as is, so that when Dan does killscreen the game, I won't have to congratulate him again.

How's that for laziness reaching new and dizzying heights?   ;)

I truly believe nobody would lie about scores on our forum.  I think we all have integrity.  PSP, although I don't know him outside of Facebook, seems like a guy that wouldn't lie.

Even if I like PSP, taking a screenshot of only "L=22" instead of a screenshot of the whole screen is... well... kindda stupid, lol. I don't understand why someone wouldn't take a full screenshot of the whole screen instead of just a screenshot of the level. I would obviously trust PSP with minimal proof like a screenshot of the whole screen, but "L=22" isn't even a minimal proof, not even a minimum of the minimal proof.

But maybe he did take a screenshot of the whole screen, if so, I just haven't seen it

Exactly, Vince. Based upon his Facebook status responding to this thread he has obviously seen the reasons we have for doubt. He could easily post some further evidence (if he has it) to settle this issue. It would seem very suspect if he doesn't have at least an entire screenshot from that game.

As for Steve Grunberger or PSP, they may have great scores, which is wonderful. Donkey Kong is a great game and every accomplishment is worth talking about. I would encourage everyone to play DK... never actually been successful in getting anyone to play that does not already play. I have tried. :) As soon as either has a score that fits the basic criteria then I will be more than happy to add them to the list. The more participation the better. Anyone better their score in the last two weeks?

I don't think I have anything else to say about it, and it's unfortunate that PSP is upset about the situation, and I think we would all be happy to listen if he were to address it in detail, but if anybody's interested in having all available information, if you are FB friends with him, you can click here to read the original Facebook announcement/thread that he made on 1/31/11.

Funny thing about that post (besides the long drawn-out talk about a secret) was how it died at Feb 1st, and got resurrected by the guy Daniel 4 months later, and it was then that a score was revealed. I remember when it came up on TG he wouldnt reveal a score other than saying it was low. I mean Vincent got only 809K on his first KS, why would you not say the score until 4 months later. The recent response given when heard about doubts of his killscreen tells the most:

1. I don't give a crap who believes what about high score this, kill screen that. This might shatter some people's lives, but at the end of the day such things are not a priority to the majority of human beings. They certainly don't pay my bills, and it's been years since I've taken part in such things at all. If you want to spend weeks and months questioning something I hardly talked about doing two years ago... something that is about as important to me as my morning dump today... feel free. I. Don't. Give. A. Shit. What. You. Think. About. It.

^this is coming from a guy who solicited a news story about his "gaming prowess"...

Seems that somebody should call the wah-mbulance, as PSP spilled his french-cries and needs a hug

Obviously the purpose of this thread is not to question the legitimacy of a score, but to determine whether it fits the criteria to be on this list. The original context for the PSP discussion occurred because he was on Hank's list for killscreeners and I wanted to see how many of those scores could be moved over to this list, pending if they fit the criteria. (Granted, at the time, the criteria was still being developed.) I never intended to facilitate the questioning of one's integrity, or to draw their submitted scores into suspicion. I especially don't want anyone to feel ostracized by this list. It was my hope that it would inspire people to work hard and diligently to be added to it, not to criticize anyone. No matter how suspicious a score may seem, I would like to encourage everyone to play according to the criteria and get their name posted to the score list for a job well done. If PSP wants to do this then that is fine, but if he doesn't I wouldn't want anyone in the community to treat him poorly. I would want him to feel welcomed here.

By the way, I found a quick and easy way for me to add and change ranking on the high score list so take a look and see how you rank!

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty pissed off that I am only like 48th when I know I can do better. But I'm not gonna let myself get sucked in -there are other games to master first. I'm just gonna let this lack of a good DK score sit for a bit like an annoying itch until I can't take it anymore. Plus, I know that all this other-game-playing is making me a lot more patient and that will help when I eventually do come back to DK. I promise I won't do a 'Ross' though and disappear from the DK scene for 3 years! ;) I'll at least need to up my score once they deliver the KO3 qualification announcements in a few months.

P.s. I may look for a DKjr pcb though that I can swap into my DK cab and stream that game in the mean time. Hopefully I can find something local and cheap! Otherwise, any streaming from me will probably be at my local arcade or of D2k instead of normal DK.  :D

I'm not sure if this is his highest, but you can still watch Tim Szcerby's 1,034,700 game on Dwayne Richard's JTV channel here: http://www.justin.tv/drdreaddr/b/258392828 with some color commentary by Dwayne.  There's a 1.024M game on there too.  Been a long time since I've seen these...might watch again.  I figured others might be interested.  He has a bunch of other great videos as well.

EDIT:  The game is chopped up into parts, so you'll have to look through his videos to watch the rest.
