Running Boards - My Donkey Kong Blog
JNugent:
I have decided to start playing again. I've somehow managed to improve my skills on the elevators, but of course I'm dying many stupid deaths on other boards. I have entitled my blog 'Running Boards' because that is essentially all I'm doing at this point. My goal is a kill screen, but in the short term, I just want to get further into the game. My current personal best on DK MAME is 215k. I have a feeling a breakthrough game is imminent, so I will continue to play a few games each day and hopefully update my progress here. I am a failure at streaming, and I'm resigned to that at the moment, so any scores that eclipse my new PB will be posted on MARP. Loving the DK Forums, thanks to JCHarrist for setting this up.

Good luck to you!
"Running Boards" is an excellent name for a DK blog. So much so that I wish I had thought of it!

Good luck! I'm currently stuck around 213K (level 7-3) and I'm hoping to have that "break-out" game soon. I'm definitely not 100% confident on the elevator boards, but right now my biggest problem is patience! I'm constantly having to remind myself that there is plenty of time on the timer and I can just wait for that extra barrel to roll by or the fireball to move a different direction. Hope you get to that KS soon!

Cool! I wish you well in your journey. You'd be encouraged to know that, even in just the 1.5 years of time that I have been active in the online community, that I have seen probably at least 5-6 people improve from a personal best around or below 200K to more than 600k+ (including some killscreens). With good practice, I have confidence that you can do it too! Good luck!

Thanks for the responses! I set up a new Twitch.tv account this morning. I've always had issues with streaming attempts, but for some reason it's working fine now. I already posted this in the 'streaming' section of dkforums, but figured it deserved a mention in my blog. So follow me at http://www.twitch.tv/jnugent74, and watch some very amateur DK play. My 'breakout' game is just around the corner, hoping to eclipse 300k soon. Still doing well on the elevators, but dying on other screens mostly due to my lack of patience. I'll post again when I've made some progress.
