You guys are so lucky. I get 60-90 minutes of game time some evenings and that's all I get.

I normally don't play for more than an hour or two a day. I try to start on Monday so if I manage to beat the game or put up a decent score early in the week, I can take a break until the next contest.

 

Heehee  

i played shatterhand all day Saturday and didn't wake up until the afternoon.  ]]> NintendoAge 2015 Weekly Contests Presents: Shatterhand http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=151299 2015-08-25T10:43:18 -05.00 bimmy_lee 106 Originally posted by: arnpoly

Ya, I play a lot on Sunday's. And it's usually the day for me to get my run together. Clean and polished. 

I usually spend Sundays studying up on the next game (reading guides, watching YouTube videos, etc) and do most of my playing Monday through Wednesday. I normally give myself a break on Thursday and then give it one last attempt Friday or Saturday morning unless I'm satisfied with my current score.

 
Lol I'm so burnt by Monday I usually don't pick up the next game until Wednesday or Thursday. Then I end up craming Friday and Saturday. 

As for studying there is a website full of NES instruction books. It's not perfect but it is useful.

I usually don't play much on Sundays, so I'd be fine with them ending in the afternoon when the new contests are posted, but I'm probably in the minority there.

If you're still having issues uploading your score, here's a free site that you can use that doesn't require you to make an account: http://postimage.org/

Yeah, for some boneheaded reason, I thought I had until 9 to post.  It's only 8 for us west coast folk.  The kicker is I had that score ready hours before the deadline, I just didn't make the time to post it.  Oh well
 

I actually miss when the contests used to end at 10:00 PM EST since that's about the time I go to bed anyway. I spent a week in Seattle several years ago and I never got used to the time change. I woke up every morning about 3:00 AM and was ready to go to bed around 7:00 PM.
