Awesome!  Didn't someone call you Robbie Luckman a few months ago?  So much for that!  It's more like Robbie 'The MAN' Lakeman!  Congrats!  How much for lessons?

I'm sure it is, but this will be an example of why we shouldn't be doing that anymore

I believe under the new submission process as Jace outlined this would no longer be required.

Congratulations on another huge game, Robbie!  On the arcade platform, the gap between 1st and 2nd (6,200 points) is now more than double the 2,700 points separating 2nd from 5th.

I haven't yet watched the entire game, but I did highlight the final 2 boards (21-5 and 21-6).  The clips are accompanied by the intros to a pair of my favorite Grateful Dead songs, performed by Furthur on 04/20/2012 at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park.


Version #1:  Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)

I'm fairly confident that Phil Tudose will enjoy this one.  It features a prominent bassline, delivered by his prodigiously talented namesake, Phil Lesh.  Given the final death on 21-6 and the ladder's resemblance to a railroad track, the song title seems fitting.

DK 1,144,800 - Robbie Lakeman (1 of 2) (https://www.twitch.tv/stella_blue/v/43101875)


Version #2:  The Eleven

This composition is actually named for its unusual 11/4 time signature, but let's pretend that it describes a 1.1 million WR game.  I faded the intro just before the vocals kick in, but the song lyrics end with the appropriate "What now?"

DK 1,144,800 - Robbie Lakeman (2 of 2) (https://www.twitch.tv/stella_blue/v/43101455)


I plan to update both the High Score List and DK Data Library later this week.

Having to record the other side of the board was one of the above and beyond rules that was different from the other arcade recording rules, I thought those DK special rules were long gone. All I was planning to do was record the underside of the panel/joystick, and record all the chips with the board in place, and probably do that silly two player step thing just because it's simple.

I was unaware that Jace addressed this, but probably because I haven't visited TG much.

Not sure now that my board is broken now. I was hoping for at least a 1.15 and make it a little more challenging. But I want to keep improving my score until I can't anymore whether it's for no money or 3k since that's never been my motivation.

Yeah, push it up, and keep it as long as possible!

IMO, it's good for this particular record that it not change hands very often. :)
