Amazing game, sir. As you say, you are only limited by what you'll settle for. Continue to go good.

The score is sooooooo close to 1.2 million!  I have heard that Arcade gives away about 10k in points compared to MAME.  If that's the case then I consider Wes, and Dean's scores to be equal to one another.  Also big time clutch play by Wes at the end.  He was behind world record pace the entire game, and he needed that extra man to bring him over the top.  He got a lot from his deaths, but I felt this was maybe a below average RNG game in regards to regular points.  A couple of less screw job Rivets, and Pie Factory boards, and Wes may very well have a 1.2 million game right now.

Time to become the undisputed champion and beat Dean's score, I have been watching Wes' meteoric rise, the last few years, and he has overcome so much adversity, I truly believe he can get 1.21M by the end of 2016 if he really wants it, after that who knows ... Congratulations on taking back the record Wes, from here it is only a matter of phychology, if you want it badly enough, you can accomplish anything.  As John Lennon put it so succinctly "There are no problems only solutions"

Congrats Robbie and Wes once again. No matter who is on top at any given point, you've both clearly written your name on DK's history.

Congratulations, Wes.  Phenomenal game.

I'm eager to discover the lofty heights to which the WR can be pushed.

For the record (double meaning intended), I'm not playing favorites; I'm rooting against the monkey.

Kongrats to both Wes and Robbie! This is an insane level of commitment, focus, and skill.  <gasp>  I hope you guys are able to keep the fire burning for one another long enough for you *both* to put up 1.2m+. Like Scott, I am rooting against the monkey in this one (and, I actually kinda want one of you two to beat Dean to light his fire again... sorry, Dean  ;D ).

Also: Notice how I am blocked from both of these gentlemen's chats. The prudent can learn from them.  Kappa

Here is my advice to you for that.  Think in your mind this, "There is no way I can stop my record from being broken in the future.  The only thing I can do is make that future person work harder for my record."

So then make yourself a goal to make that future record holder have to work as hard as possible for that record.  In a way it's a defeatist attitude, but in a way the thought of making this future person work extra hard for your record can bring you to another level.

I don't think I would have been able to take a couple of games to another level if it wasn't for this thought.  Now what those two games are is my little secret.  Yep, no one is going to figure that one out. Kappa
