Nope buddy, since you guys are all playing Tetris (Group A & C), the 2 last scores out of eight will be eliminated. On the brighter side, you only have to top 2 players out of 8 to advance, that's an easy task for the skinnygrinny I know!

Also, I may be manlier and uglier than the 15 other players, but last I checked (as of 1 minute ago, since I just woke up for some water) I still have female bits.  
LMAO! The stupidier fact is that I actually had to correct another misgendered word in your description, but this one I looked over it.

That's your fault, all that purity talk doesn't match the monster competitor you are in video games.

I am not a monster. I am a robotic killer from the future (it is 2 am of the 23rd here right now) with an aussie accent that can't be bargained with, can't be reasoned with. I don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And absolutely will not stop... ever, until my competitors are dead!

I like that golf game. I'm having a hard time with Tetris. I hate the game which makes it difficult to want to try and do any better :/

Assuming Sepp and Dirk aren't any good/aren't willing to grind it out likes Gloves will

None of the first four games were a shooter, which means I think Gloves' overall odds are looking pretty good.  Got an easy draw, but that's the luck of the bracket

Tetris is incredibly difficult, and you won't get better without hours of practice and a real aptitude for it. I've put in a lot of practice and my highest score barely cracks 200k. And I love Tetris.

Man, I feel bad for you that this is your first round game. I should be playing Tetris and you should be playing Rad Racer.

I absolutely will not go down without a fight. I hate Tetris, it pisses me off. But hey, if a game is getting an emotional response it's done SOMETHING right. I'll hash it out through the week and get better.

I've gotten enough points to at least see an ending, which is a first for me. Progress is being made.

I got a -20 score yesterday night on my first run that I will be posting it tonight. I think that will suffice to secure the 1st place at my group this week, so I think I won't have to play it again.
Rad Racer would be a pain to play with my left arm in this state, sadly.

In my defence, there are still two weeks ahead of us where I can get eliminated, and Richard clearly picked golf to spite me, so my only option was to crush his hopes and dreams early.

I think tables and Bea are shoo-ins for the finals. Everyone else, including me, could get the boot at any time. I'm especially concerned about the second round, personally.
