Thanks, and yes I'm good with the basic controls, just finding I don't have as fine of control as I remember BITD, and was thinking that was the result of not having those extra positions. Could also be I just suck after not playing for 30 years. 🙂

Guess it's finally time for me to sort out an emulator option that will support 16-position disc with a Flashback controller since Nostalgia 5.1 doesn't seem to, unless I'm missing something. What do you recommend, and if the answer is Jzintv, can you please point me to a configuration guide or front end that makes sense? The manual configuration of it has thus far been more complex than I want to spend the time messing with.

Awesome. You win the internet for today 🤣

Shouldn't that effectively be the end of the argument? Try the games out... Don't wanna. Done and done. Makes me sad that any gamer might miss out on a new experience because they'd rather be 'right'

How do you manage to let an interview like that just slide off you and then drop back here like nothing happened? You rock, sir! Thanks for keeping the positivity flowing here while others elsewhere wallow in negativity, we need and appreciate it!!

I always feel the need to enact the Silkwood shower scene after I visit Reddit

Not just that, but the way the elites seem to actually be smarter and how it accelerates beyond 100k pts, it really does feel like a constant battle for your life and can be ended by a single misstep. Speaking of, the number of stupid ways to die in this is impressive. Take one hit from a strong disc, and your life is not in your hands. But my favorite is exiting through a door exactly when a guard spawns on the other side. Lovely way to tank a million point run. 🙂

My fear is that the 10/10 release is going to be all too perfect when we've all been cooped up for 7 months by then with no end in sight. I do very much hope to be wrong about that.

Wouldn't that be something...

Awesome idea! No issues getting something clean without the eraser falling apart on you, or getting loose on the toothpick? Are you wetting it with alcohol or anything?

Technically, I think the woodgrain version isn't going to be sold in stores, so that's still a "limited edition of the console which will not be made available in stores" and we don't yet know how many of those are going to be made.

Very nice! Definitely a great ratio. Did you happen to have a lot of planes to shoot down on that run? I'm wondering whether they count as "hits" or not and might explain why my ratio seems to vary more than I would expect. By the way, I love that you analyzed points per hit average. Speaks to my numbers-oriented geek heart and is yet another fun way to measure success! 🙂

Might be possible if you slowed way the heck down, but not worth it in my opinion regardless. Hit twice and move on to something else. 🙂

Depends on how much that target is worth, I guess. 1 truck = 3 AA guns... 1 train engine = 6 AA guns... 🙂

Slight improvement to 72,180. 213 pts/hit for @cmadruga chart 🙂

Definitely get better scores when I get lucky with a long string of fighter planes. Key one in there is how high value trucks are. Same as half a bridge and almost double a tank.

It's going to be a very long day... 🙂

Congrats and good on you giving it a go on speed 1, in the spirit of the challenge! 🙂

Wow. Words fail, nicely done!!

Congrats! Once you get the hang of it, it's remarkably intuitive and crazy fun!

Damn. That's just mean. 🙂

I believe the correct response is.... Holy f*cking crap!!! 🙂

4 hours in on the VIP, what's the total?

Thanks Jacob, really appreciate all the work you've been doing. The HSC is a highlight of my week now that I know about it and this site, so can't thank you enough! 🙂

I've had several friends comment on that. The graphic very much makes it look like it's 25% off the order right now, instead of 25% off other merchandise. I know it's intended to be eye catching and "read the fine print" is a standard marketing ploy, just an observation that 3 out of 5 people I forwarded the Facebook post to thought they were going to get 25% off the console by pre-ordering and felt misled.
