[Bliss1083]

Was wondering if I was registered for the wildcard rematch? I sent email but didn't know if their was a new list out or no of registered players. Thanks in advance.

Joseph, did you find the forum through the link on the Donkey Kong blog by any chance?

Well I got Saturday off from work so I have all day to play now. I plan to keep my extended DK playing hiatus going until then as I find I play better after having taken a break for a while.

Good luck everyone.

Chris I can't remember but I have posted a few times on their. Do you run it?

Man I've been sick for over a month and havent played anything :-(

I'm gonna suck at it this weekend but I'll be giving it a go still. Gotta take it out for Australia lol

You hear that Allen Staal lol

Unfortunately I won't be able to play this weekend.  But I wish everyone good luck, and a little extra luck to Mr. Awestralia Allen.  He's gonna need it

He'll beat me this weekend for sure. I have this cough that I've had for 8 weeks now. And when I start it goes for 5 to 10 minutes meaning I'll die in the game if I do :-(
I'll try my best I want a 600K+ game

These things always fall on my bowling league weekends.  I might not get to play after 4pm, but plan on playing a lot from the time I wake up until around 4pm when I have to go bowl...maybe get in a game or two after midnight (EST).

This is a great event...was a lot of fun last time.  Best of luck to everyone this weekend!

I'd be so happy if I got 1M during this event. The last game I played (roughly 4 months ago), I had my closest run ever that ended at around 820k. And at that point, I hadn't played in about 3 months.

Let's just hope that taking long breaks gives me huge scores. I'll either hit 1M on Saturday or I won't hit 500k.

So can I start a game at 11:59pm Saturday and finish 3 hrs later and it will still count? Because that's likely what I'll be doing.

This seems to be the way of it for me.

Something about playing after not having played in a while makes my brain a lot more interested in what it's doing, it notices more, and it works better.

If I've been playing a lot, I go into a kind of patternistic autopilot and am not as creative or sensitive to the novelty of situations. I get bored, and that, combined with the accumulated rage from dying over and over all day, gets me in a sour mood.

I haven't touched the machine in about two weeks. I'm hoping that will be long enough!

[andrewg]

I can't play DK constantly. It's not fun for me, so that's really why I don't have 1M. And I don't want to make it a chore, regardless that I know I can hit 1M pretty fast if I tried. If it's a chore, it's not worth doing. I will get 1M on my own time schedule.

Maybe my interest will grow again after Saturday, but 3 hr sessions+ (daily) are too long for me personally.

i can happily play most days, but i have very little tolerance for restarting, if i dont get a game started quick i need to walk away for a couple hours...

I will likely play a game your two with my newborn baby strapped to my chest.

I use to love playing when my ex girlfriends daughter would wake up mid game and she'd make me get all the pursues for Pauline on the rivets. I'd have to tell her I'll get it for her on the next one if it was too risky. She was my good luck charm. I go all my high scores with her watching my play.
