Trippin My Face Off To 1m

[TheSunshineFund]

I managed to get by fellow NJ resident Jamie Cahill's TG Turbo (hard settings) arcade record the other day.  BEA seated.

Keep going good wags.  Now, you better buckle down and get 1m on the cab before its too late and everything, because that is what the community decided! :-)

I haven't played much of anything lately but I need to keep this Blog patch in the system....   

I do have a b-day coming up and my plan for that is to eat Pot stickers, drunken man noodles and then go to the arcade and finally break 200k on Galaxian.  I've had like 3 games between 190-200k and it's sort of personal with that machine now (there's a dedicated one local to me).  Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but something that's been annoying me.  I play it incorrectly as I don't count enemies to lessen the swarm at all, I just YOLO it which I find to be the most fun, but is likely why I haven't managed much higher scores.  Swarms are really fun though.   

To quote my buddy Ross..."LET'S GO!"

The Drunken Noodles at  Montien Boston  are outstanding.

The Chicken & Shrimp Pad Thai is also quite good.

Perhaps, but is there a dedicated Galaxian around the block from it?

Managed it a week earlier than planned and got a 207k.  I think my accuracy is decent but I need to cut down on stupid mistakes.  I'll keep playing since I love the game.  Next stop 300k.

Went to Funspot for a bit this past week for  's weekend of fun-ness.  Fellow DKFers Tim, Brendan, Martin, Donald and MSP were in attendance as well as other luminaries such as  .   

I was able to play a dedicated Bank Panic for the first time and managed to break 1m before all the patrons at the bank started to look the same.  I improved my Dig Dug speed to 1m a bit over last year by about 5 rounds which pleases me and I also had a PB on 5 man only Millipede with a 197k.  Also came close to beating the Funspot high score on Zarzon but missed it by 1k.   I attempted to setup a team play Wizard of Wor tourney but the game was spazzing out on us.  Brendan  'd because he was off to a great start on it I reckon.

Brendan and Mike set a new WR on doubles 1943 and  had a 700k+ game of Pandora's.  My favorite part of the weekend was finding a new breakfast place called Kitchen Cravings which was incredible.  Also, Tim introduced me to a game called Galaga '88 which I took a liking to on Sunday.  My wife was able to finally break 200k on a Vs. Dr Mario with a 260k which was enjoyed by all. 

I didn't get around to playing any DK, a couple of times I felt like playing it, there was a crowd at the machine surprisingly.  All in all had a great time hanging with my mates, drinking and playing games, lit.

I haven't updated this in awhile and I don't want to lose one of the toughest badges on DKF to get 

I took a bit of a break from playing and then Yolympics happened and since February is awful, it made sense to stay inside and play games.   Had a lot of fun learning some new games and helping team Starfox finish ahead of the Weeaboos.

Haven't played too much of anything else since and have spent some of my gaming time writing some DKF/CAG related rhymes that should hopefully be entertaining at some point.

Also started enjoying the Tut a bit at Richie's and have fired it up in MAME.  Since I can't pass Board 4 yet, it's a fun, quick game, unlike the grind of DK which I just haven't been motivated to play although I set a new keyboard PB during Yolympics so I started to get used to the lack of arcade controls at least.

With baseball season upcoming, my playing will be non-existent (save for the replacement Funspot tourney in May/June) but I still plan to hang out and check in with my cobbas.  I'm also planning to rock Richie's mini "Like A Boss" tourney at the Allentown, PA show.  Lit.

Gotta keep the blog patch intact....

Won the Allentown, PA tourney completing the first loop of Gorf, Zaxxon and Phoenix in about 4 and a half minutes.  There's plenty of room for improvement as I've had Gorf games where I've destroyed the flagship in 1 shot and didn't play Phoenix like a fkstick as I did in this game but was still pleased with the time.   Twas a fun exercise and I hope RK continues to do these time trials. 

I head off to Funspot for the John's Arcade Outsiders Brofest Event in a few weeks.  Looking forward to the break as work has been really busy and between that and baseball season I haven't had much time to play anything at all.  Hopefully some fun games in the tourney.

I will get back to DK at some point this year.  I get a week off in July when I typically play a ton of games at my wife's family's beach house so I'll likely pick it up again at that point, unless a Wolf Tourney occurs.
