Well there's no seeding, or home field advantage in any sense.  So what's the point in killing yourself to keep up with bert when less than half of his total (and 16 points over the bare minimum for someone qualifying for participation each week) is going to be just as good at the end of the day?

Not trying to complain, or say the format is flawed; the field just naturally shook out this way.  And I think we're primarily playing to collectively have a shared experience with 30+ games together, so winning is just the icing on the cake.  But it will be interesting to see how things play out at the end.
 

The Top 5 leaderboard badge as well as the genre badges are a nice incentive as well, don't forget that!   
 

Oh believe me I've already started practicing Rollergames and Iron Sword for that reason.  But I'd say all of the genre awards are already narrowed down to 1-3 people
 

I like the contests,but I just don't really concern myself anymore with earning badges or points or even winning. I just play for fun and for games I am good at,offer tips to help others out.
 

I was only in this to bead James Robot at the beginning, now that I've got him beat I'm for sure playing for the comradery!

Yeah, I keep getting to the raspberry with the stretchy arms that just obliterates me. Highest score thus far. Hopefully that atleast makes top 10.

Exactly, regardless if I even come in average of 4th/5th for the rest of the contests I will still probably only end up being in the exact same spot I am in now.
 

If I can't catch Bert for the regular season gold, I'm still trying for that silver. So, I'm keeping the pressure on my buddy Brock.

Best score I can put up:

I do t believe this shit for one second! I never trust a Canadien after Canada day!😜

My question is how did he only have 1 life by the first bonus stage? 

 

Guys I'm super sorry.

Limbo and RebaFunk got me really wasted.

No Santa update until tomorrow.

Otherwise itd just be retarded jibberish (more than normal.)

As soonn as I wake up, it'll get penned and published.

Tits rule.
 

I don't know if there's anybody better than commander Santa. 


 

I hear that renegade! TOTS DO RULE!!!!! I mean TITS. Unless it's TOTS with green chili and bacon!😝
 

Impossible!  
Tits are the scourge of mankind and stuff! The worst thing ever! The source of all evil and wrong! *shakes fist in fiery breast envy*

But alas, now that I am back from my weekly 5K run and I am done with my workout, I will have some coffee and try to put together a score for this one.  

683,600 - Game beaten
486,850 - stage 31
136,300 - stage 10


F1 grand prix was bloody awesome, but I had to get back to business. Beaten the game, with a rather low score compared to the top people here. I failed to get perfects at enemy waves fairly often, which explains why it is so low.
But alas, I have beaten the game and I am pleased, so this will be my final score for this week.
Now to hit the rum.
Okay, this is better, but there is room for improvement. I will try again later in the night. Now to watch the Formula One Grand Prix.
Not half bad for a first attempt.  

416,300 This game is really fun. I might try one more time before the day is over

Because I suck
 

Updated my score a wee bit.  
This' a very fun game.

I'll share my pineapple and pepperoni pizza. Made me feel better   
 

Beat the game. I feel like I'm handicapped by being good at shooters. Disappointed I didn't make my prediction.

Pineapple does not go on pizza!!!

I feel ya Bert. When I'm playing this game I'm like "damn, I wish I wasn't stuck on this rail". Even so, pretty neat idea and pretty well done.
