Poor Toxie must have been busy or he just plain forgot again. Oh well.

Time to practice Palamedes.

Toxie should be DQ'D due to the fact he didn't post a pic of him rolling around drunk in a pile of Kraft dinner!😜

Wow, good thing I posted my second run of Mario Bros. I was originally just going to sit on my 200k score, and that would've bumped me out.

Guys I simply did not have any time at all.......I just figured out even after the Tournament started that I had 2-3 days to get moved into my new place.

Because of this I also did not have any internet hooked up at all either....Wish it was better circumstances but it kind of fucked me over completely.

I apologise for saying I was going to participate because I had full intentions on doing so but life happened unfortunately.

Congrats to everyone.

Sorry to hear that man. Darn life getting in the way of the end of year tournament. Doesn't it know you have other priorities?!? Thanks for the well wishes and I'm sure you made mbd happy!

Your 150,730 score is fine since it has the phase number in there. Unfortunately, the second one won't count since it was taken after Game Over.

All year to get knocked out by a rule change in the semi-finals. I feel like Vince at the NWC last year.

-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

On a side note, I see Boo/BertBerry is the artist for the icons. How's that coming along?

The 2016 contest icons are on the awards list already, so I guess that they're done.

I see. Wonder if they're still doing leaderboard ones

Where is this "awards list"?

If you click on one of the icons under your name it should bring up the list of all of the icons.

Yeah, but Vince getting screwed over (as I did too), was actually a good thing in my eyes. That "competition" was a joke last year!

Maybe I should have competed as my "just messing around" score would have been good enough!

Thanks you for not competing. I barely squeaked by because you declined and Toxie was too busy.

All I had to do was make it past Mario Bros. and after I had my last score all I've been doing is practicing palamedes and AI👉👌

I've played a lot of AI2, but I've barely played AI. I know it has a reputation as one of the toughest platformers on the NES so it's a good tournament selection.

AI isn't so bad ! It depends on what the stipulations are as to how well I do !
