Dean Saglio breaks 1.2 million!

[stella_blue]

Congratulations, Dean!  I would have replied much earlier, but I was watching a 3 hour 15 minute INP playback involving some notorious poser in Rhode Island.   

Simply incredible.  What else is there to say?

It was a genuine thrill to witness this historic achievement . . . twice.   

The game summary has been created and posted, for all those interested:

Dean Saglio 1,206,800 (L22-1) on 10/04/13

Dean has also highlighted the Twitch video:

If you haven't yet watched, you owe it to yourself to do so.  Right now.  Seriously.

Dan, I think that's 28,700 for all his deaths, check the math. I knew Dean got a lot from his deaths, but when I saw 38,700 I had to double check!

10500 + 13200 + 4000 = 27,700

Dave has included the final death on Level 22-1 (1,000 points).

Yeah I added 14000 instead of 4000. I also counted the last death as 1000 points (with 0 for the lvl 22-1 just like Scott noted. Made more sense.) Scott has it all laid out too. I went with "real" numbers and he did it with the DK'ness! Didn't realize he would get to it so fast when I did mine!:D

wht da, makes sense...  I think that's the L=22 score

(apples and oranges)

I posted this last night simply because I didn't have time to do anything else then (or today) and also had wicked writers block:

I'll talk more about this game in my next post, obviously.

(Though I have to say, I actually kinda like a simple "BOOM!" post for this game!)

Congrats Dean!  On your way to 1.3 

[danman123456]

Wow looking at this he got a 16,000 Barrel stage! (But that lvl was "only" 61,600). Look at this lvl 7 scoring!

Lvl 7         13,000      9,300    12,600    7,900    15,500    10,500   68,800

Actually these 4 lvls gave Dean the push to 1.2

Lvl 7         13,000      9,300    12,600    7,900    15,500    10,500   68,800     Pies           Max                10,200    12-2
Lvl 8         11,900      8,900    15,200    7,100    15,500      5,500   64,100                      Max Lvl 5+     10,200    12-2
Lvl 9         12,600      7,800    13,700    7,500    13,400      9,200   64,200                      Min                   5,400    19-2
Lvl 10       13,900      8,400    11,900    6,400    13,800      9,300   63,700                      Min Lvl 5+        5,400    19-2

Everything else was right around 60-61k! (
Heck the LOWEST lvl was 58,300 which is still a 1,154,900 point game if everything else is the same (135,100 start and 28,700 deaths)!!

Man Dean I need to be able to play at least as good as your WORST level. Come on DK goodness!

Dean pleasure to watch, hope your going to KO3!

Dan

You have a number of available options, Martin.

Watching Dean get the 1.2 million gave me the same satisfaction as if I had just got a PB or completed a new game.
