I will be going but don't plan on playing any "serious" DK. I'm severely out of shape, so even if I wanted to I don't think I could pull anything off. Fortunately busy season for plastic surgery is coming to a close so I may get back into the swing of things soon. I also need to get my CP fixed. A pin from the wiring harness broke off during my flight back from KO2, so I need to get that fixed (yes I really haven't played since KO2).
I like going mainly to hang out with the New England crew, watching the competition, and playing some games I don't have access to/never seen before.
Anyone planning on playing some serious DK?
-
I'll be there. I have no idea what I'll be playing.

It depends if you consider just beating 1,139,600 as "playing some serious DK". ;D
Personally, good chances are that I will be coming (busy season for work at the gym center is coming to a close during the summer, kindda like Hank! lol. So day off are easily allowed during the summer).
I would enjoy spending few days there, and maybe try to get some good games going on Donkey Kong, I don't know (it depends if the machine is in good shape, and if a bunch of people want to play also).
Nothing's 100% certain for me, but it would be cool to see if other DK players are coming!
-
I went for a day last year, planning to stay longer this time.
-
I'm a local, so I have no excuses to not be there. I've enjoyed the past couple years at the tourney hanging out and meeting up with friends. Not sure what day or days, but I will be there at some point. Maybe get some serious DK games in but we will see.
-
I'm def going if you havent read my post before and going to try to play some serious dk and try to get my first kill screen there unless it happens before then i hope to see you all there.. u better be there lakeman if your a locale like me.. i only live like 35 min away by newfound lake im assuming your over by the squams.. and just to let that other guy kno i was there last weekend and the machine is in good shape found nothing wrong with it besides to many wild barrels ;)
-
i can't tell how much i'd like to go to funspot =D
but its bit far away for a roadtrip, almost 4000 miles to be exact =D
and the atlantic ocean would be a bit tricky to cross =D
-
Hey Roger, i actually live in Concord, but my grandparents live in Gilford which is about 15 minutes away so i stay with them. I look forward to meeting some new faces!
-
well i look forward to meeting you all there and getting some pointers off you guys so i can be the new world record holder with in the next year or two ;) and the first round of brewskies are on me vince, hank, lakeman, and anyone else ;D on this forum that shows up.

My first round typically consists of 3 beers. Especially around tournament time....

Could I have raw eggs instead? lol. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs... I play Dhunkay Khang!
-
i guess i can bring some eggs i got 7 chickens.. they will be fresh from there ass and 3 beers geez will see about that lol ;)
-
Robbie, I thought you were in AZ. When did you move back?
I'm going to have to get back into shape if Vince decides to come... I know he will challenge me to DK. It's OK, I'll have my gf revenge him for me on Centipede.
Roger, I look forward to meeting you.
-
I haven't decided, but I could very well be there. If I do show up, I'll be easy to recognize. Just look for a middle-aged individual, wandering around in an apparent state of confusion, mumbling incoherently to himself or yelling at young kids, "Don't touch that! You're gonna break something!"
-
I am actually moving back to NH in a couple weeks for a new job. That will get me enough time to practice on the "Possessed" machine before the tournament. If there is a free beer for me there, then I feel like it is already a successful weekend.
-
Nice Robbie! When you move back, tell me what's the condition of the DK machine, just to make sure it's playable.
Scott and Roger, looking forward to meeting you as well!
And I don't know if I'll play Donkey Kong. I think it would be cool to get the record during the tournament week-end (friday to sunday). And if I'm able to play without recording (and still be verified as an official score even without the recording), then I could spend some days before or after Funspot tournament to try to get the record.
I think I should try the week after the Funspot tournament. Because Hank will probably pump me up during the week-end by saying:"Hey Vincent! How are you doing King of Kong?... oh, I forgot, you didn't beat me, I'm still the real King of Kong. It's getting old, being the champion for 3 years, and nobody is even able to come even close of my score. If someone came like 2,600 short of my score, there would be some competition for the record, but right now, I don't have any competition. I guess there's just a certain level of difference between people"
-
well i look foraward to meeting you guys and im going to funspot tomorrow to get some practice in and vincent the machine is in good shape been playing there once a week for the last month trying to improve my skills..... so i can look like i know what im doing ;D
-

I'm certainly not a competitor by any stretch, but I have owned a cab in the past. I was there a few months ago and it seemed perfect.
-
The machine there is usually is great working condition. I know the mechanic very well and if that machine isnt working well, he is on top of it since that is their most popular machine on that floor. Vincent if you stay that week after we can hang out there for sure after the tournament. But while youre there I would recommend trying out as many games as you can since the games they have at Funspot are almost impossible to find anywhere else. I'm going to play Turtles and make Mark jealous.

This is excellent advice. I couldn't agree with this more. I've found some of my favorite games there and only there.
-

Nah. I don't really want to play games for fun. If I play, I'll just want to play Donkey Kong. One does not simply play other games when they can get a better DK high score!
But it's cool to see that the DK machine is in good shape. I might consider spending few days there, I don't know, I'll have to speak to my boss at the job.
-
hey lakeman aka rob i drank a few beers today at funspot with your old friend mike oniel and put up a score of 445,100. he wanted me to tell you that your a tool jk ;D
-
Lol I figured he would say something along those lines. My buddy Alex said he met up with you. I'll be back in a few weeks, we will have to meet up.
-
If I go I'll be the one with the backwards hat because like stalone on over the top it's like a switch and that's when I play my best donkey kong when I turn it backwards. Lol. Just playing but I'd be wearing my lucky notre dame hat if I did go.
-

yea will have to meet up and have a few beers and play some donkey kong. mike said your pretty good at it, maybe u can get me past my 450,000 mark and get me to a KS would be nice.
-
Yeah sounds good. I am always willing to give pointers. I typically take beer for compensation ;D
-
couple weeks till funspots classic arcade turn e lol ;) hope to see u all there
-
What's the closest airport?
-
it"s funny I came across this post, I was at funspot 3 weeks ago and ran over to the dk machine and happened to be the first game I played when I arrived there. I pulled up a seat and started playing, not 5 minutes into my first-time game I go to jump a barrel and the button pops right out of the cpo, I could not believe it, the entire day playing dk with a messed up jump button, I am sure it has been fixed by now, but was surprised at how some of thier machines were in such poor condition. my friend played mr do and the entire cpo was loose on the left side of the cpo. we still had a blast for the time that we spent, but was upset that they only had one machine of each game there. I will definitly be visiting again before summers end

Nice, Allen. I'll make sure I'm there. It might be my only chance to meet you, in the event I don't make it out to Denver.
