You could have picked Rad Racer, lol.

0% chance I was picking a sports game!

I suppose we need to know the blocks before we can pick games

I never would have picked a baseball, football or golf game, but an arcade racer is okay. It's really more like an arcade game than a sports game.

And I still put up a great score. I just couldn't hit that magical 66k range. It wasn't going to happen.

On a related note, the Golf tie breaker rule was a joke on Richard because SuperJimtendo made him believe that you could get a similar Golf score with a different strokes count, lol.

The thread is up, please, take a hit for the team and go make your pick.

Edit : Also, it would have been a good idea to let me know that you had only till 11h30 to make your pick, I would have made an effort to accomodate you at the least.

I was going to do the thing again, but decided against it.
If tables would rather sleep you could let the seeds pick in reverse order

I'm really tempted to do something in order to make things roll, and at the same time I have a profound love for that kind of protocole... Anybody got Table's phone number

Not that I need to do that, but I made up my mind. We'll wait for Table and let things go forward from there. There was no warning whatsoever on changing the procedure, so we'll stick to the original procedure. Everything will be fine.

You better make to round 2 because you will most likely fall in my group and I want to kick your butt at 1943!

did he post something about how the groups would be decided for next round or are you just guessing?

I am guessing using some math.
My group might end up being me, Gloves and Red since we are doing 4 groups of 3 next round.

That is one intimidating group.

Well, I am afraid of no man. Are you?
Too bad Skinny won't make through or it could be Me, you and him playing 1943.

That would be one hecka showdown.

Ya, that would have been fun. I’m so weak at puzzles though. 66k best I could muster with Tetris. I hate that game. Lol.

It looks like a Rad Racer win for Stryphos. Congrats man.

I think the best I could have done was around 65k because I've only been able to start level 8 with around 57k, so I wouldn't have been able to touch those 66k scores.

Thank you! I know it's been said so much but our block was very competitive. I'm sorry that you ended up with the short straw on this one. Like you said, that effort would've landed you a bronze in the weekly contest last time!

Nice job, Stryphos. I'd try to beat that score right now, but I'm kinda sick of the game. I only had one attempt where I was on target for breaking 67,000, but I messed up on the second section of the final level.

Thank you, Red. Nice score for you, too. That second section of the game, like Michael mentioned previously, I also find to be the most difficult portion of the game. Some of multi-lane swerving that those Testarossa's were doing was maddening.
