So, I started messing with my collections of CAGs for PS2 and have realized that I really like a ton of the games on it (most of which aren't at my local arcade). One example is Tapper. I'm also tempted to start working on even some of the ones that I don't like so much, simply because they are so stinkin' difficult! An example of this is Joust 2. Because of this, I'm tempted to change my list to a general list of games with scores that I generally want to work towards, while also still having the goals separate that I specifically want to reach this year. I'd really like this approach, since, though I want to get good at as many games as I can, as quickly as I can, I find I do a lot better if I have as much variety as possible and my method of playing one game over the other is more a method wrought, essentially, in distraction. I end up playing the game I most want to play, so, therefore, I end up focusing more and progressing more quickly. But maybe I ought to also just learn to suck it up and play what I need to play -that is, keep a constant focus and goal on one game and acquire some stamina and uniform patience.
Still debating that one though, so we'll see.
In other news, I used my PS2 to practice a ton of Joust (which is way harder on console, cuz you lack the ability to accelerate vertically quickly). So, today, when I went to the arcade, my first game was 794k! That's my best first attempt ever, and my 4th best game overall. I only had time for this one game, so hopefully next time I can get in more attempts.
P.s. I was debating about just transferring over my blog to the new TG site (since, so far, I've talked more about other games than DK), but I decided against it. It's a combination of laziness, doubt over how well that forum will actually do and if it will even stay around long, the fact that I like DKF's set up WAY better (TY Jeff!), and that a high percentage of my CAG friends are DK players anyway. Maybe I'll just start a thread at TG with a link to this one...that would seem to be easiest.
