[Cue after-school special music] But... I never learned to read!!!

[sad face] But, wait, no Harmony back-up?!?

Those annoying lines are part of the TV image, not in the camera. So. Either my S-video mod is bad, or there's something happening inside my HDTV when it interprets the analog signal... Looks like yours is hooked to a CRT, so I guess I won't know where my problem resides until I get my hands on a CRT again and plug it in. [picture from my last post is playing through Stella because I wanted to listen to my NPR stream in the same room, and didn't feel like grabbing my tablet from wherever I left it]

Not as good at tracking my score while I play as the Captain, there. Also, never going to try this on keyboard again, or I'm going to break my f*lippin* keyboard! Regardless, here's an increase and a poker score: 100,800 +4-of-a-kind

Somehow I haven't been there yet... thanks for the random name drop! Looks like a quick hop from Lansing.

[whistling innocently]

Just noticed your picture. Looks like a nice clean screen image you've got there, without the weird vertical coloring banding I get with my S-Video mod'ed 4-switch Woody. What machine are you playing with, what's your connection running through, original or mod, etc etc? Inquiring minds want to know... [also, I see what you did there, about the 'bar']

No poker bonus, but I'll take the higher score, I think: 91,250 Breaking 100K should be doable this week. ---------------- Also, just noticed I already beat my score from the last time we did this in the HSC (2011), when we were playing on A/B difficulty, 71,925

55850 -three of a kind But... I'm sure this won't be my final score for the week!

28450 on the first go-around. Definitely need to bring all my bartender mustache powers to bear on this AA situation. Luckily, I stocked up on Root Beer (sorry Mt Dew, I'm not buying the product placement).

The Return of Rainbow Kitty! ------------------------------------- my score for river raid is 2730 the reason i haven't been playing is the past games do not catch my interest, my account is still not fixed so please fix my account soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Immediately replayed after my last post, and: 63,310 +Plus+ I finally got that 6th plane to crash and take a bonus pic!

Another go: 57,300 I hope to not be done, so I won't post a pic yet...

Well, 44,700 is at least improvement for the day. 47,910 and I'm calling it for Saturday night. Hopefully I can crack 50K tomorrow, and get on the bonus board. I can reliably get 5 in reserve, but haven't yet gotten that 6th reserve plane allowing me to crash and photo-op @ 5.

After beating a certain number of waves, did I just turn into a CASTLE? Did I win? That was confusing. I dig the color changes to mark the waves, but I do think more variety in the enemies will go a long way in terms of player perception of the game.

ERG. Having a rough week with this one: 28,090 and no bonus yet... I'm looking forward to "Root Beer" Fueled Points Poker this coming week, but I don't think I can give up on River Raid yet. I ought to be able to do a little better.

Used to buy a bit from them, even my S-video mod'ed VCS when my childhood console broke, but my last order has been a bit of a nightmare: 20 days to ship, 20 days with no response to repeated inquiries. No explanation offered, either. Hopefully, it'll actually show up now that I finally have a tracking #. Really weird, and very unprofessional. First ever problem, and the last.

Last post before deadline, I think. Despite having the cart since 1989 or so [bought at the old Dartmouth Bookstore in NH], I'm forced to emulate as my wife is watching Thor 2 on the TV. Anyways, finally cleared the board and got to school with 1:06 to spare. I know I could've done better this week, especially on this game, if I'd been playing for longer than this weekend... but oh well, at least I'm on the board!

2nd go, left 2 obstacles... time to scour ye ol' Captain's map and see what I missed! Never did much Skateboardin' after the 80's, digital or real life...

Improved MotoRodeo on a single go after work and laundry: 1130 First stab at Skateboardin' left 12... I forgot my way, and must play more in these final hours...

Getting some participation points (cause its been those kind of weeks). California Games BMX: 24,500 MotoRodeo: 945 still need to play Skateboardin', but I should be able to clear it. I mean, I could as a kid...

Finally work my way into the top ten, and this is what I need to defend it with? Oy. Haven't gone Skate Boardin' since I tried to convince my NES friends that the Atari was still cool back in grade school.

My typical Sunday dilemma: after work, am I up for just ONE MORE game before deadline?

::told you I would. Finally saved all nine cities, and broke the 200K barrier as a result. 219,170 Good game for my ol' Slik Stik.

Tiny bump: 147,180 Seem to to have plateaued... This game is a hand-crusher!!! Constantly jamming the stick in hard diagonals.
