Got a good selection this week.
I've only tried the twist once, didn't do particularly well but I dare say I'll improve it.
FTK has always been one of my favourites and hence one of my best... though I can still get a lot more out of it than I've previously done.
Haven't tried the other two yet but I'm pretty sure I can get some more out of them, my current personal bests aren't exactly great. _________________

I did the twist pretty well, going for an FC though, so I have some work to do.
Tried FTK, but I kept missing notes.
Haven't tried the other two. _________________

I am 34, married and have two kids. I work two jobs. Usually I play for 2 hours on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. My second job I work until 1AM on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday mornings. So on Friday nights (Saturday morning) I play from 1:30 until 4 or 5AM. Saturdays I play from 10PM until I think my scores are good enough. Then I bust out NASCAR '07!
This is a good group of people on this site. I am glad I found it. Good luck in week 5! |
Nice to know I'm not the only old guy playing this game. I'm 36, married, two kids. I teach so I have plenty of time for goofing off with poker and video games.
My 5yr old actually kicks ass at this game and I am trying to keep up with him. He's 2 songs away from 5starring Medium and 1 song away from beating Hard. He likes to play on hard (only uses 3 fingers so hitting the orange isn't much tougher than hitting the blue) and can beat me on half the songs. While typing this he just 5starred Message in a Bottle on Hard hitting 95% of the notes.... "Daddy I crushed it!".
Anyways, Last week:
Thought my RE score might take it. nope. Nice job on Trogdor you guys, Perf mode kicked my ass. I figured just passing would be good enough for a top score... oops!
I knew I rocked War Pigs but had no idea anyone would be FC'ing PF. You guys inspired me to keep trying though and I finally did it.
Totally happy with my placing but it looks like Samsung and dirty are poised to knock me off my perch.
This week:
I overacheived early on the twist and couldnt match it after a few more runs so I quit before I wasted the day trying to beat it. I love WWIMRLN and did pretty good but I am a bit dissappointed I couldnt do better. I dont whammy the short holds or squeeze very well but I'll take it. I'm gunnin for 1st on KitN and FTK so if you guys beat me on those power to ya. _________________

I think I did very well on the twist, although it is nowhere near optimal. It is harder to FC with only 2 fingers than I thought. But I WILL FC it! (I already did with 4 fingers though)
FTK - I didn't FC it this run, but I still improved on my League score by a few thousand
WWIMRLN - My controller is dying, (got it a couple months ago for $50) because when I play the it only registers the this: XX XX X
Killing in the Name - I'm tired, so I will try it later.

The twist killed my middle and ring finger so bad that my knuckles still ache today. _________________

Hehe, that's a funny mental picture.
Anyway, I think I'm doing pretty good this week. I still gotta achieve my goal for Soy Bomb, though. Then I'll be all finished.
EDIT: Well, probably. I might try to improve my scores. Maybe... _________________

I did very well on Soy Bomb considering we could only use the two fingers.
I like my score on FTK, but I want to improve it.
WWIMRLN - Stupid guitar won't work with this devil of a song! I'll play it once and be done with it.
KITN - Going for an FC, but considering it is soooooooo longggggggg I might have to do it a couple times. |

I feel like I did sort of well on the twist, but im not sure how well. I feel like I did well with Killing in the Name but probably could have done better with the other 2 songs.
Overall I think I did ok this week. |

I tried Killing in the Name after I did Soy Bomb and I messed up constantly because I was so used to using only 2 fingers, so I had to restart a bit. I did pretty well though, as long as I make it to the playoffs I am good. (3rd season with League C and never been to playoffs) _________________

Wow! I did really bad this week. For some reason, I thought I was playing at about my normal level (around 8th place or so). But I was 13th this week. I guess everyone else is improving a lot or I'm just regressing. I guess the good news is that I'm a lock to make the playoffs. The bad news is that I will be crushed. |
