I got really drunk and the most I could do, and using all my lives, was 172K...
I still believe that won't be enough to qualify me to the next round, but we will see.
I just tried another sober run and scored under 30K.

I shat the bed and forgot to take a picture when I died. Urgh! It still wasn't an impressive score, so no big loss. But still. Dumb, ladders. Dumb. Back at it later after I cool off.

Usually I can grind my way to a decent score. But practicing this game gives me diminishing returns. The more I try, the more I make stupid mistakes. Improvement seems impossible.

The 2016 contest icons are on the awards list already, so I guess that they're done.
 

All 2016 genre and tournament icons are done and have been submitted to a site moderator for inclusion into the database.
 
Nothing for regular season leaderboard this year?

No big deal either way.  skinny won't ever forget it, visual reminder or not.

Not for this year as I hadn't really thought about doing ones for the leaderboard.  Next year I'll make sure I have ones created for 1st through 3rd place on the regular season leaderboard.

Can't we just reuse the trophy icons?

I wouldn't call my 717k close, but I thought I had a shot at it rolling the score during that 2013 contest. I'm guessing Tom (rdrunner) could probably pull it off since he has the Twin Galaxies record of 10,777,770 on Game A using all four lives, so he could probably roll the score at least once on Game B with one life.

 

Tom isn't human.

BTW, it's nice having you back in the contest threads.
 

Since it's the tournament, hopefully I'll be able to have some more time to join in on the fun. Me missing a tournament thread would be like Shawn Michaels missing Wrestlemania!

I was going to say that it probably wouldn't be too tough just to change the '15 in the bottom corner to a '16.

Haha.  Well, here's hoping you are a little closer to my score than skinny's.

That is pretty impressive.
And my score is as real as it will get from me. I am still trying to understand how drunk me got that far.

Drunk you beats the bejesus out of sober me, ha. Also, I'm ready for teacher to slap a dunce hat on me after forgetting to pause for a score yet again. Again, no worries, as I wasn't satisfied with it at all. I just put another note on top of the TV.

Drunk me beats the hell out sober me in this game too. Tried to play a bit more and I couldn't break the 30K mark.

Clearly, we both need alcohol, right? At the very least, I know it'll help me from raging too much, as I am wont to do. Thankfully, I never developed the bad habit of throwing my gear; I just spaz out and slap furniture or hit myself (ex. punch to the thigh), like I'm trying to train a dog not to shit on the floor, and I'm the dog.

I punch walls or my TV set instead of throwing my controller away. Feels more productive.
And yeah, we do need alcohol, but it is project deploy week, so I have to stay sober. Who knows at what time the phone might ring due to deploy problems.
So no score update for me till Sunday, I guess. I have plans of purity, chastity and innocence for Saturday, so I won't be playing then either.

I've tried and I've tried and I've tried and I can't do this game.

If a miracle happens I'll crack 150k. (I've yet to crack 100k under tier 1 conditions.)

Sucks that my biggest genre weakness is first game in the tournament. I might be going out early and hope for better luck next year.

Man. Just landed and then I have a gig this weekend. We'll see what i can do in a couple days.

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

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.

Only one win that matters

How's Mario Bros. going?  Crack 200K yet? 100k?  Can't let a guy who plays for half the week beat you.  I believe in you skinny.
