Score updated. My personal goal was to break 200k, so the fact that I also passed 250k by a little leaves me feeling pretty satisfied.

To all the Tetris masters, keep up the impressive work, and I'll just look on in awe.

Last attempt. It's only like 2,000 above my last score but it puts me ahead of gutsman. Some of you guys are crazy....

Arnpoly challenged me to post via PM earlier in the week, but unfortunately this is going to come off as a "dog ate my homework" story

So my only evening this week to play was yesterday...and I had a strong game going (pacing for 400k+)...and my 2 year old daughter decided to flip the switch on the power strip!

Maybe I will get the chance to play after she goes to bed tonight, but I figured Arnpoly was due an explanation for why I hadn't posted yet.

My "haunted" cart and I might be done for the week after some dismal performances last night. Maybe I'll squeeze in a few more attempts before the deadline.

I'm starting to see how this game clutches people forever; I find myself itching to go for round after round, and even when I rage quit after spectacular failures, I'm back at it 10-15 minutes later sometimes.

Edit: Here's an "artist" rendering of what it felt like to no longer see the next pieces.

This is one of the greatest pictures I have ever seen!
It's like one of those "courtroom artists" drawings.

I hope you're not mad about making the news this week ladders.
It was meant in good fun for you.

Far from it! I love a good ribbing. Ha, I wasn't offended at all; I thought it was great! I loved being part of the roundup (thanks for doing those, by the way, they're really entertaining).

Glad you enjoyed the drawing!

The roundup is pretty entertaining. It reminds me of the Fantasy Football recap efforts to create a news flash after every week in football, only this is actually worth reading.

Man, I got a lot better at this game, but still a long way away from a free trip to Portland.

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

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.

No participation for me. Got within 74 points after 5 hours of playing but gotta wake up at 2:30a.m.

-------------------------
If you have any GBA signage or kiosk I would be interested. Please send me a PM because I'm only here about once a month now but I'm still VERY interested in large system signage or small playable kiosks related to the GBA.

Let's get this random drawing started! This week's drawing is going to be for three things once again! The lucky winner will receive a cart-only copy of Jackal for the NES. There is a little sticker residue on the front label and top of the cart, but other than that, the game is in great shape. I have cleaned and tested the game on my front-loading NES and it worked the first time. The winner won't be disappointed in this game! Also, last week there were two Playstation TV download codes for the Lego Movie Video Game and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time available that alpenanews0506 won. Since he did not have any use for them, they are up for grabs again this week. The download codes for the two games expire on March 31, 2016, so don't let them go to waste. Here is a picture of all the prizes:

Here's how the drawing is going to work. For starters, alpenanews0506 is exempt from the drawing since he won last week. Also, to make things fair, there will only be one winner per household, which means Mrs. Landers (Brock Landers wife) and Kawaii Kills (skinnygrinny's wife) will be exempt as well. Therefore, I have assigned everyone else who participated in the Tetris contest this wekk a number from 1 to 36. Here is everyone's number:

1 - gutsman004
2 - hitmantommy
3 - BilltownSparty
4 - BriGuy82
5 - Ferris Bueller
6 - barrelsAndRivets
7 - matt
8 - cleure
9 - ne$_pimp
10 - skinnygrinny
11 - Red
12 - Shane
13 - PDork87
14 - Jandrem
15 - Philosoraptor
16 - Vectrex280996
17 - smick
18 - csylve01
19 - laddersandcakes
20 - erizisto
21 - Brock Landers
22 - JamesRobot
23 - Milwaukee_Nintendo
24 - kamakaze_ekun
25 - EgasKrad
26 - bertsampson
27 - TWarwick07
28 - Krunch
29 - Richardhead
30 - GameboyRicky
31 - Stryphos
32 - arnpoly
33 - mattbep
34 - UncleTusk
35 - Commander Santa
36 - MegaMartyr

I will announce the winning number shortly. Godd luck everyone!
