C and below started to be a bit more of a chore.... Ice Hockey, I just don't really care for... and I suck at it too. The ruleset may have hurt the experience for some of these games. Like Ninja Gaiden 2 is much more fun when played normally rather than point pressing for a contest. DD2 is a tough game and the one life rule made it even tougher. Isolated Warrior is really tough for some players as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD2 alternates between sections that are easy to the point of being boring and tedious, intermixed with the occasional fight that is unfairly hard. It doesn't not have a lot of consistency.

docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Looks like I’m a shoe in for 8th. Hopefully enough to get a bid into the tourney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gonna be tough for me to catch up from 14 points back even if I win this week since I doubt I'm good enough to get a top 5 Dr. Mario score.

Since you finally posted a Spy Hunter score I think I only gained two points on you since it looks like we finished 4th and 5th. It looks like @PII won, so that puts him back in 2nd overall by four points. Even if I pass him for 2nd this week, he can probably beat me at Dr. Mario and take back 2nd place. If I hadn't missed the entire first month and a week or two during the rest of the season, I may have actually had a shot at the top spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are def top spot material. Though it does help to remove any last semblance of a real life, at least for the duration of the "gaming season."

I finished first in 2015, but I always seem to miss a few weeks and that costs me a few spots at the end of the season. I'm sure you would have won the arcade title anyway, but I probably would have gone into last week with the lead if I didn't miss the Millipede contest.

I really wasn't expecting to, considering how difficult I found it to not die a single time in Millipede and a lack of time/motivation during pinball. I'm just a little surprised that ol' Glovsie didn't put up more of a fight this last week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJimtendo | 1,121 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Glad I decided to reup this year, it's been fun, maybe not interacting as much as years past but been good dusting off the old vidya tapes and reading through these pages. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
