I might be able do a little better if I had time, but I couldn't guarantee it. I'm nervous. I'm back at the tank with no deaths so far, and I have it paused. I hope to god I don't blow it this time, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,020 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'm 100 points behind the first place score from the 2014 contest. Interesting.

Thank you Doug and Richard for pushing me to improve my score or I probably would've been satisfied with 250k. That's about what I got last time we played this. I had second place. The top score was around 258k by 8Bitdontquit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went into all the rooms too. I killed all the gun/grenade guys. I was lucky to get past the lasers with my health, brass knuckles and armor intact so that helped. Maybe I could've gotten another few thousand from killing motorcycle guys but fuck that. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't started yet - if you're that high up you've 99.9% locked the genre. (I have to leave that 0.01% to make you a little nervous). I have essentially no familiarity with POW, i played it once in a contest for the minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting you to suddenly reveal a huge score on the last day as you sometimes do. I thought you were silently working on your score all week.

Hahaha yeah I've done that but it's the case at this time in the season where I'm moreso picking up and playing on last day, not really hitting my own standards. Even Thunder & Lightning was a fail for me cause I had prior experience, think I coulda been a contender for 1st. It's still been a good shot and I think I'll get a tourney spot right? I didnt really check on how many slots there were. Next year I'm going uber serious though. Gonna spend this winter perfecting several gaming stations, I've gained lots of space in the past year.

Krunch | 303 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hmm it appears I can still tie @NESfiend for beat em up runner-up, I just have to beat him.

Saw plenty of the title screen, but every time I tried to sneak off and play I got caught. Shitty timing for a week that matters in the contest, but I never would have caught Michael and I think he had tie breaker anyway. Will probably get a run or two in tonight, but Michael is definitely safe to put the crown on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not doin too good. That's a plus for you though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
