Hey bearcat, nice score.

Are you a bengals fan?

Thanks. I doubt that I'll have a chance to try and do any better this week, but at least I got a chance to post something solid going into Yoshi week. I'm a Bengals fan even though they've been terrible for most of my life (they even lost the only two Super Bowls they were in). It's tough being a Cincinnati sports fan in general. The Bearcats basketball team seems to always lose in the 2nd or 3rd round of the NCAA Tournament, the football team keeps losing their bowl games and the Reds and Bengals can't make it past the first round of the playoffs.

I got the bengals TE on my fantasy team. I thought it was a shame that Carson Palmer got injured the way he did with that lineman from Pittsburgh rolling over on his leg like that. It seemed borderline dirty. I thought they had a pretty good team that year.

The Bearcats BB team is always pretty solid. I remember nick van excel and I think Kenyon Martin was a bearcat too, no? Can't say I know much about there football program. 

My my grandpa took me to my first Major League Baseball game in Cincinnati when I was maybe 8-9 years old. Chris sabo hit two home runs against the Braves. 

Im a born Florida boy but my family is originally from London, Ohio.

You have Tyler Eifert on your fantasy team? I met him at the Buffalo Wild Wings right down the road after he was drafted. He's been hurt every season, but at least he had a good game for you last week. Kenyon Martin was a Bearcat. They were ranked #1 in 2000 when he broke his leg in the first round of the C-USA Tournament and they ended up getting bounced in the second round of the NCAA Tournament without him. Speaking of Chris Sabo, I was at the game in 1996 when he got busted for using a corked bat. He got suspended for a week and I think the Reds either sent him to the minors or released him right after that.

I have yet to see the repair center either. My next goal.
 

The repair center icon looks like a blue spark plug. If I hadn't hit one by accident, I would've thought it was a random road hazard.

 

I don't really understand what makes this item spawn.  In my first dozen or so runs, when I was getting a feel for the game, I caught a few of these.  I haven't seen one (or maybe just not noticed one) since then. :::?:::

I'm pretty sure that the repair center icon only appears on the track when your power meter drops below 10.

I'm sure you'll crush me at Yoshi. I looked up the 2013 contest thread and I finished 24th out of 27 players with a whopping 1,305 points. I've been playing in the contests since 2012 and I swear that's by far the worst I've ever finished at anything. The sad thing is that I played a practice game yesterday and finished with a score barely over 900. Either I'm either playing it wrong or I'm legitimately awful at the game.

Good news for me because I'm off to Jacksonville this weekend to watch My Dolphins play!!! I'll post a participant point later. Hopefully I can play yoshi better than you bearcat and gain some points back  

Ive been to joe Robbie 3 times and Ive never seen them win. Maybe I can reverse that by watching them in an away stadium

If the past is any indication, 24 out of 27 people can play Yoshi better than me.

Bump N Jump is easily one of my favorite games on the system. I've never beat this game before and I was hoping this would be the week for it to happen but I just didn't have the time. Its probably a tie between this and Blaster Master as far as games I've originally owned that I really want to beat.

No not yet, I died on scene 11 or 12 maybe? I'm gonna try and make a real effort to finish it by next week hopefully. I can clearly remember playing this game in my cousins basement back when the 49ers beat the Broncos in the superbowl... So I think its about time I put this fucker to rest.

As a matter of fact, every time the Broncos got there asses pounded in a Superbowl I can remember turning on the NES. Including 2 years ago, we ended up having an Ice Hockey tournamnet instead. lol

I beat it once and the ending is pretty much the same as Kung Fu. It's hard to believe that these guys can go through all of that trouble just to have their girlfriends get instantly captured again.

Right after the Bengals blew the lead in the 1989 Super Bowl and lost to the 49ers, me and my cousin started playing The Legend of Zelda. There must be something about the 49ers winning Super Bowls that makes people want to play NES games.
