Monsta's Slow Journey

[Monstabonza]

Well I thought id have a go at this as a way of keeping track of my DK journey.
So to Start My goal at hand at the moment is to crack 300k. My PB at the moment is 244800 done in the WC#2.
Since then I had a little break from DK but started aging about 2 weeks ago,
The 244800 was my first ever 200k+ game but since then have done 6 more including the one i played tonight.
Im going to try to play a minimum of 6 hours a week but well see how we go. All Pc games will be streamed but i will also play on the 60in1 but cant stream from there.

And so to start A couple of highlights from tonight's games.

This first one was my first game, im still kicking my self for getting in this position but glad I found a way out.

Good luck sir! Man I am feeling the frustration this game is giving me. Last night was felt like the HARDEST it has even been for me. Every stage was being a huge pain even when I was just trying to run the boards. Fireballs/Firefoxes/Wild Barrels/etc. Felt like I was on trial.   Keep pressing and you'll get there!

Yeah I've had a major stratergy change in the last 3-4 days and in finding although my scores are lower on average I'm getting deeper in the game. Like I said last night I have been aiming for start scores that are honestly probably above my ability. Since I've toned that down I feel I have a greater chance of increasing my PB.

[Monstabonza]

Played a couple just then and feel im falling back into old habits,
best score was 142,200
lost all my lives on 5-6 to silly errors bar 1 were i died on 5-4 springs by running into a spring.
going to have a break for half an hour then have another go


Came back after My break all confident of a 200+ score but it was not to be.
I seem to be at a point where it is repeated silly errors that are holding me back.
Running of girders, climbing ladders with fireballs at the top, and the same silly barrel combo  that i know how to jump but always try something different.
Done for today

[Monstabonza]

Played a little DK today to no avail just full of more silly mistakes i'm having a day or two of it.
I have boon put on to a new game "Super Glob" by Shane_nc so ill be playing a bit of that now basically trying to crack 100k, so far iv'e had a 65852 and a the rest in the 40k range so a bit more practice and well se what happens.

[Monstabonza]

'Played a little Super Glob today upped my PB to 67078, a couple of thousand increase, but i'm happy with it.
ll be back on DK tomorrow just needed a few days away from it but i'm going to keep up with this title as well.

[Monstabonza]

ok so the last few days nothing much has happend had about 6 or 7 games all about 170000 - 225000.
full of silly errors still.
Then today i went down to my mates where my 60 in 1 cab is, put one 20 in it and had a game.
I had a weak start of 84000 but didn't lose any men and was feeling good.
I lost my first life at 230000 on 7-3 by trapping my self between rolling barrels and a wild barrel, next life i lost on 8-3 by doing the same thing, can remember scores from here. lost a life on 8-4 jumping into spring whilst running at second safe spot.
Last life lost on 9-6 trying to pop last rivet before time runs out. Score of 298700. New PB
So close to 300k but not quite there and a was really hoping to take this one to a double figure lvl count but not to be.
I guess that's what keeps us coming back
So to recap done on a 60 - 1 with no recording and only a photo.
Guess my score stays Corey

Congrats! You are obviously capable of doing it again. I look forward to updating your score in the near future.

Nicely done, Nick!

[Monstabonza]

Thanks for the kind words guys
Played a couple of games at the start just mucking around on 1-1 and some some silly stuff,
then decided to play a game again and got a 273800,
more than happy with that, 3 games over my previous PB in the last week or so so something is working for me.
Im really being held back on the pies and rivets at the moment, they are they stages that seem to give me the most grief and i need to learn some other things on those levels.
The only spectacular thing in the game was 1 of the spring lvls, 6 i think, I got 1 prize made my way to the top and couldent for the life of me work out which spring to go on. Made a mad dash at the end and finished with 200 on the timer. Next level all was fine.
That's it for now

[Monstabonza]

Played again today Had a good game, First death was lvl 3 or 4 cant remember then second man went till 8-1 when a very active fireball raced me to the top and he one. then i died about 30 sec later because of a silly mistake, last life was lost on 9-6 on 301800 or something just short of my PB but what is worse is again i was so close to hitting double figures but it didn't happen.
Still happy tho in 15 days ive taken my PB from 244800 to 302600,
and had 4 games over 270000 so things are looking up.
Also thanks to everybody how came by and watched the stream
