Sorry for wording the title like youtube clickbait/dyslexic but I was wondering just how long did it take you all to reach your first killscreen from picking up DK and playing semi seriously. So not like when you played a little as a kid?
-
Around a year and a half, including taking some months off during that time. I think I had 6 750k+ games before finally finishing it.
-
4 calendar months, with about a month off, due to power and machine issues. 20+ hours a week during that time.
-
Exactly 6 months to the day with one solid month off. I played a ton of games on my cab, bought a second cab for my girlfriend's house, and kill screened the new cab on my second or third quarter.
-
Around 6-7 months from a pb of 20k to a kill screen
Numerous breaks in between and was playing other stuff throughout. Doesn't take away from what a brutal grind it was to get there.
Multiple close calls as well. Best one was when I had a pb of 650k; had a 690k first man then Vincent came in and I bombed out at 750k. On that note, ban him, Mitch and <Allen> if you're streaming ;D

WellI hope my addiction lasts me to that point, haven't slowed down yet ;)

Glad you qualified the trigger as semi seriously. ;) ;D
Bought my first DK cab in May 2015, KS in September 2015 - 919,000 on 9/19. ;D 8) ;D
