Title: No thread for Wes's 1,028,200??
Post by: ChrisP on May 07, 2014, 01:05:03 am: Well geez, if Mitch's kill screen gets a thread, Wes Copeland's million twenty eight needs a thread too!

Pretty amazing jump. From one spot beneath me all the way to a spot 28,200 points further than I ever intend to get. And he's only been playing DK for 8 months.

Well done, m8.

I had been grinding 1.1m pace games about a week before the tourney started. I'm at a point right now where I'm practicing up to six hours a day, usually well into the night. Right now my level average is sitting between 58k and 61k, and I'm getting more and more consistent every day. I still suck at this game, but with enough practice and hard dedicated work I am hoping 1.1m is not too far behind.

Your second contribution to the DK Data Library isn't far off. I would have compiled the summary already, but I'm a huge supporter of afternoon naps. <ResidentSleeper>

Yikes! Where do you find the time for the DK Core Development project?

I admit I've been slacking :-[ Right now my goal for that is just to finish at least one thing on my checklist per day. It will become increasingly difficult to show progress via screenshots because a lot of it is just core mechanics now.

Post by: LMDAVE on May 07, 2014, 09:34:26 am: Yeah that definitely needed a thread, a million+ and a #16 score on the all time list is a big deal. Good Job!

Post by: Z82Retrocade on September 23, 2014, 11:20:16 am: I believe the most incredible thing about Wes is the fact that from the first day he played Donkey Kong till he kill screened was 84 days.
Very intense :)
