I catch a break everyday. I wake up and get the chance to play Nintendo tapes. 

Good point. I'm probably going to take a break for the next few weeks. Ski or Die and Solomon's Key would probably just be participation points for me anyway. With the bye week in between, that gives me three weeks to enjoy some time outdoors.

You sunuva bitch! 
I wanted my 303 score to get third place this week 😂

Well done fella!

Everything fell into place once I found the better point pressing location. I also have a good idea how Gloves got his score.

Please beat Glovsies score 😂

I _think_ I know what he's doing. I found a point pressing location where I'm getting about half what he got, so he must be quickly killing two of these enemies instead of one. But I wouldn't be surprised if he said that I'm totally off base.

Just ask him. He will tell all he knows.😂

You're totally off base.

Finally got a score in. I was not breaking my own rule of not posting til sunday. I just never got a good enough run to finish out boss 2 after racking. 1st run today somehow got a life restoring item right before going up the stairs to him. No clue how I was able to do that but never got the item the 10 runs before

Whoa whoa whoa! @PII comes in cramping my style and gets a thank you and there funny…..

im hurt 💔 really I am.

Cramp nothing.  Wiz tried to fill in for you.  Then Morbo convinced him to appropriate your style.  Then I stole the whole works from him.  At least with me you get proper Progenitor Cred. in the title!

Would I be funny for sending these shitty wings back to the kitchen? 
these are the worst wings I’ve ever had.

How can they be dry and undercooked?

What's this?  Is someone 'Cramping Skinny's Style' with their own random-ass Story....?

 

Anyway, that is weird, both dry and undercooked.  Ideal would be to complain, get money back; continue eating wings...

This is a random skinny story.

I paid for them and sent them back. I won’t eat this garbage.

I also won’t make a fuss and ask for money back. It’s not the servers fault they serve freezer burned food.

Ah, at last it all becomes clear.

You did the right thing.

...Take the high road, baby...

Okay, I spend a couple of hours with this, and I've got to say: I really hate point-scumming  competitions 🤮   Wouldn't furthest progress on one life have been waaaaaaaaaay more fun and interesting, not to mention more challenging?  Then highest score could have been used as the tie-breaker if multiple people made it to the final boss screen or some other section.  Am I crazy here or do all y'all just love the shit out of killing the same jumping ninjas over and over and over again ad infinitum?  Hello?!?  Bueller??!?!?!!!!

I’d rather spend a couple of days “point-scumming”  than spend a week of playing just to get my ass kicked by the same people every week.

At this point I’d say participation is key. Even though the top tier players will be the same week after week.

@Dr. Morbis

You played for a “couple of hours” to get your last minute score. My score took me more than a couple of hours to get.
Tell me why any of us should play against you at this point.

I spent less than 2 hours total playing Ninja Gaiden this week. 😄
