So I've been working on 3 of the 10 games today. I started out with 3 games of Donkey Kong. I haven't played the game in forever and this was the first time I've seriously tried to play it on my new control panel. Let's just say I did horrible. I didn't even write down my first score, but my 2nd score was 16,600 and my 3rd score was 31,100, which was a new high score for me (previously I had 29,000+). Most of my deaths were due to my shittyness, but I'm blaming a few on the joystick. Sometimes I'll accidently hit the diagonal while climbing ladders and it's pretty much a dead zone in this game. I have a 4/8 way Mrs. Pacman edition stick I'm going to be putting in my panel at some point. This will help out tremendously with these games.

Next, I moved on to Pacman C.E. I played 2 rounds of the Championship mode and put in 2 sub-par performances. My goal is to get above 200K. My high score right now is just over 179,000. Todays scores: 117,620 and 132,140. The last game, I lost all my lives before the 5 minutes were up. God I'm a horrible gamer!

Lastly, I decided to get in some Galaga Legions. I wanted to practice some particular areas, so I decided to do the championship mode. I did area 2 in my first game and area 3 in my 2nd. Area 2 is a breeze. Not that I crushed it or anything, but I finished it with at least 1 life left. My first score was 1,028,910. Then I moved on to area 3. Fuck this shit! Area 3 can suck a big fat monkey dick. I got demolished and put up a crowd pleasing 203,300. Area 3, I will make you my bitch soon!

Then I decided to go back to Pacman and do some achievment hunting. I still have to clear the challenge modes and 2 of the extra modes. I just got the game yesterday and have been playing championship mode almost exclusively. I did get the eat the crown achievement playing extra mode 2 I think. Anyway, I couldn't even break 100,000 today on challenge mode 1. I don't know what the hell was wrong with me. I couldn't make that little yellow fuck behave. A few of my deaths were unavoidable, but oh so many were just due to me and the controller not being on the same wavelength. I wasn't making precise directional movements and Pacman was running around the board like he was drunk. It was very frustrating. Again, I'd love to play this game with a 4 way stick. I was thinking about fabricating some sort of restrictor for the 360 analog stick. Not sure if it would work or not.

I'm off to bowling. I'll probably play some Zookeeper and Paperboy tonight. There is a high score competition getting ready to start on BYOAC for Paperboy. I haven't played much of either game in my lifetime.
