Well done Krunch. I was indeed crying in my beer. I had a 610k score I didn't even bother posting(probably should have) This week was first or nothing for me though 😜
Thanks for the interview Brock, it's always fun to learn about these amazing competitors .

You know how some American versions of Japanese NES games are made much harder such as Bayou Billy? Vice Project Doom could have used this approach. The life bar should have been drastically reduced or damage from enemies increased. You get way too much health.

You should have posted and stolen the 3rd place from me.

No worries Gloves. I had a great time with this game and I'm glad this thread pointed me towards it.

Not to mention health drops are plentiful, respawning, and therefore ridiculously easy to abuse. Plus since they always come before boss fights you don't even have to sweat on any boss once you discover the optimal pattern. 

There were sections in the game where I would intentionally take damage just to get through it faster, or to gain a few seconds of invincibility to reduce the danger of getting knocked into a pit. It's easy when you can afford to get hit.

Awesome to hear that he is alive and well.
Sometimes life does get really busy.

Here's for when things get back to normal to you, Santa, you awesome sire!

Work busy? If so,let me go get my rock and see if I can change the narrative.

What domineering boss do I need to chuck said rock at?

C'mon now. You don't feel bad. You sniped the snipers too (myself and skinny) and I bet you don't feel bad about that!

I talked to him today and I think he's just life busy, but he might have something for you to throw a rock at.

I'm ready for the challenge! The big question mark is whether we're going to be playing on High or Low speed.
