Time to face my fear and overcome it.

Damn you and your rum!

I am only allowed one shot of it once every two days till the next weekend! It is terrible!
Almost as bad as things with tentacles!

On the bright side, I am cleared to exercise again, as long as it doesn't involve lifting weights over 25 kilos!
That helps... a tiny bit... with the whole drinking very little alcohol thingy.

Can you run/jog? I always find that stretching the legs gets me ready to go to work... on games.

Yep! I walk to work every day, and I run a 5K every Sunday at 5 am.
Doctors told me to resume doing that as soon as possible, so I have been doing it since 2 days after the surgery. Seems to help with the healing or something.
I LOVE running. Except when it ends with me breaking my hand at someone's face, but day that was an exception.

Also, where is your 500K score on Defender 2. You won't just let me win it like this, will you?

Lol. I'm working on it now! I've got a second place score photographed so far, but am on another good run now. I'm playing in between running dungeons on Final Fantasy. At the VERY least I should be able to walk away with second, barring someone else appearing with a higher score.

Start cycling ! Running is bad for your knees! Cycling is a low impact sport that is also great for you!

Divide KMs by 1.6 to get the value in miles.
Alternatively, learn metric, which is MUCH superior to imperial. Why the fuck you guys still use imperial?

The... horrible tentacle thing... is dead.
By Odin's beard, tentacles are terrifying. Why couldn't this be a later boss? WHY?
Why did it have to be an octopus? WHY?

I was excited to see Startropics in the weekly competition, since I've played this game quite a bit. I even used to speedrun it, so I'll be disappointed if I don't win this week. Played through it again last night, and here's my score:



91,260

I'll be impressed if someone can beat this!

I love Star Tropics but I've never played it for high score before, so this will be a good time! Seems like 90K is a good benchmark to shoot for.
