2 more PB's last night

DK - 830600
Stocker - 54,494

PB hype

DK - 884,100 -  Kill screen achieved. Took about 5/6 months of playing from scratch. Big thanks for everyone's help and support
Stocker - 54,542 - A score I once thought was impossible. New strats did the trick!
Joust - 272,700 - Feel I can do much better on this. Will be grinding on this for a few weeks now

Updated first post with goals. However it is super bleak with only a few games on there. Looking for suggestions from you kind people as to what I should play/learn.

Hype!

Nice job on the PB's.

Everyone has different tastes in games but if there was one game that I'm not good at that I'd like to be it's Robotron.  That would be my suggestion.

Thanks DB

I am the same with Robotron. Absolute shite at it but would love to get good at it. Unfortunately a keyboard is not ideal, so Ill have to either get a tankstick or pass it up

Blog alert.

Been at a bit of a loss recently as to what to play, other than what is in contests. Speaking of contests, seems like there has been a shitload of them recently. Managed to pull off a nice 3rd in Wolf's last contest, and also a 3rd in the last Aussie arcade MGL.

I have almost given up on DK. The game shits me to tears () but with some recent news of a possible Aussie Kong-off (and someone unnamed person beating my score) it has given me some new motivation to keep getting better. Also the last DKOpen, which should be a blast! Tudose hype

Had enough of Joust too. It was nice when some others were playing it (Ben, Paolo) as I could track my progress and talk about the game. Its probably the reason I've lost interest. 700k is decent enough I think. Jry loves it I reckon

I've been having a few games of DK3 recently, although on easy/medium settings. Started it up tonight on hard as apparently thats what we should be playing on. Scored 200k which is pretty laughable but I know I can do better with some practice. Its actually a decent game.

The highlight for me of the last few weeks was definitely the Lunkerthon which can be found here, that was played with my mates Estel, Glen and Phil (thanks Michael for the commentary - its wicked!). If you haven't checked it out, watch my epic fail 1lb Crappie battle that lasted for over 10 minutes .

Anyway, christmas coming up so I won't be streaming for a couple of weeks (family etc) but will most definitely be shoutboxing and checking back at TG for the big update.

Peace mates. Happy holidays to all

Dear Diary

Had an awesome time playing Yolympics. Cheers to all that participated. Starfox HYPE. Wouldn't have changed our team for anything, thanks for the massive effort! Individually a 5th overall was pretty solid. Personally the most fun games of the tournament were:

1. Sunset Riders
2. Smash TV (even though I didn't place )
3. Mario Bros
Learnt some pac-man too. Unfortunately it made the game worse as it made me realise you have to play over 200 of the same pattern for a split screen


After some confusion during the past few of months about what I wanted to focus on, I've tried to keep my next couple of goals as simple as possible:

1. Galaga TGTS. (current PB 2,354,450)

• 3m
• 4,525,150 (arcade record)
• 6m

This is in preparation for hopefully next year me getting a cab and shooting for the arcade records (not fast-fire )

2. DK Junior (current PB 100,600)

• Kill screen. Badge hype

Making very very slow progress at the moment. Once I figure a few things out I don't think it will take too long. That and if the springboard magically fixes its broken ass
 
3. Popeye

• Haha j/k, fuck that

At around this time last year I set goals on DK and Galaga. I'm basically playing the same games
When I get done with Junior I'll probably move on to DK3. A trifecta badge would be sweet but holy fuck I do not want to play DK

2 games is enough for now. Ill be participating in the AA MGL too, so that will mix things up nicely until IGBY2 starts. Bidding starts at $500 to get me on your team KappaKappaKappa

I have had thoughts about trying to see how many CAG kill screens I can get. Is there a comprehensive list anywhere of games that have kill screens?

Anywho. Keep going good everyone.

Yer mate I gotta look at getting one.

New PB on Junior - 307,900. 2nd man went 250k, bombed out pretty hard. Ended on 9-1. Other deaths were 2-3, 8-4(x2).
1.38m first life on Galaga (PB for first life). Game over by 1.6m (TGTS)
