No thread for Wes's 1,028,200??
« 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.

Kongrats, Wes! Gonna start going for 1.1m+ now, or do you have other goals?

Love it!   Kreygasm

There was something eating everyone

Thanks again all!

Kongrats, Wes! Gonna start going for 1.1m+ now, or do you have other goals?

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.

Congratulations again, Wes!

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.

Yeah that definitely needed a thread, a million+ and a #16 score on the all time list is a big deal. Good Job!

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 :)
