Thanks guys.  And great job to everyone on improving their scores.  Judging from all the millions, you guys are really close to mastering this game!

And JD, don't sell yourself short on DK.  That 1.6 million score you posted was no joke.  You did that in just a week, while I don't know how often I've ever gotten that much on one man.  I have to be really lucky, as I usually make a mistake or two before I get that far.  Great job again!

Just noticed Tom was at 10 million with 91 lives...only 102k away from his own world record...wonder if he was taping the run
Yes and no.  I taped the run, but only because I always back up my work in case I miss a chance to take a photo.  I wasn't playing for the world record because that would require me to play the entire game without pausing.  I took an overnight break in this game.

Still, it was a good game for me.  I learned a few new things, such as how to recover from a death.  Normally dying would just end a run for me, but I actually escaped from a couple of mistakes this time.

And of course, it's always nice to control when your game ends for a change.
 

Fair enough man.  I've been getting good at recovering from death too...got to the ball things on level 3 after dying a couple times, no easy feat to dodge all those rings being fired at me with only a single speed power up to my name   Still gotta work on not dying in the first place, but shooters aren't exactly my forte
