The last week has been pretty eventful, including a long sought after score.
I've been playing Millipede about 3 years now and for the last year the goal has been to break a million points on default settings.  What started out as a casual game to show FGS some tips ended up being my break through game.  In fact I forgot it was a real game rather than a practice game until I made the twitch highlight    I killed off the game at 1,301,049 with 5 men in reserve since I was late leaving for Funspot.

Next Milli goals - consistent millions on defaults, 300k TGTS

Alright, upped my Millipede personal best again this morning   
  New High Score  1,478,766
This time I didn't have to kill it off or anything and could play it out, though the outcome was slightly disappointing (was hoping for 1.5-1.6).  That's my second million despite my practice schedule being off lately, so maybe I figured something out.  Or luck is just being nice.  Anyway I may try  to submit to TG which would put me in 7th place, not a terrible starting position.  Or maybe I should send it over to

I enjoy me some Pede (100 and 1000 footed variations ) but watching you play in person was mindblowing. Kick some ass.

Thank you for the compliment sir. 
Does that mean I now have to live up to it?

  Another milestone in my early gaming career, got my first submission accepted into Twin Galaxies.   
This was my most recent million point game, figured it was good enough to start my journey up the scoreboard, starting at 7th place.  The ultimate goal will be many millions and will not happen for another many moons...  It's a small start but I'm excited about the direction things are moving and hope to continue the forward momentum. 

Earlier this week I came very close to hitting my (first) TGTS goal of 300k.  I made it to 289k and would've crossed that line but the last two deaths were bad deaths   But this near miss has helped to keep me inspired as the search continues.  If that 300k doesn't come this weekend I'll go ahead and submit the 289 as a placeholder and to get onto the other Millipede scoreboard (would be a strong 2nd place ) So many submission points, may as well use some of them, right?  Here is the 289k game if anyone is interested-

Lit.  Congrats sir and thanks for the cred points.

Yer Timmy keep it up bud. You're gonna crush it if you keep playing

[timhett]

The crushing continues...  Next goal has been attained - new pb on Millipede TGTS   332,131

I plan to submit this one to TG and may swap boards back to default/marathon settings to work on multimillion point games.  We'll see how it goes, but feeling very good about this personal best and while not a record, it is a significant step towards it.  One way or another, the spiders will keep dancing.

It's a dark day in Spiderville.  My laptop has officially kicked the bucket.  It went from occasional blue screen to daily and then to BSOD about every 15 minutes or so.  Hoping to get a donation from my mother-in-law, if that one doesn't work I may be out of the streaming game for a very long time.   
Not sure if I'll be able to participate in CrapMAME now because of the streaming issue, maybe I can inps...
In the meanwhile I'm working on max-out scores for Millipede, the top 3 scores are saved, would like them all to read 999999 and will record some games locally on another ancient device.
Also hoping to reach 100,000 on Asteroids and I continue to diddle with other random games.
