Is he beating you?

I sort of agree with this, and yet sort of don't - I think other people can beat that half billion anyway and since 99.9% of us never had a chance of getting near #1 I don't think I care that I'm one, two or maybe 3 places further down against people who've been working on it for a year. God knows I've seen enough pointless 32526 places on most XBLA leaderboards.

Glass half empty - you've ruined our fun

Glass half full - great a target

What next, should we ban those on the beta program?

Then those on Partnernet?

Then those who were good at T2K, T3K

IMHO we'll be up to a couple of thousand on the Leaderboards within 72 hours so why not set the target. I'll never get there and I'm not really bothered

eh? We've taken 2 slots between us. I could be pwnt by Sickers in a few hours. Within a day or so you'll have mad crazy people who could beat the both of us.

So we've laid down some pointer scores that'll maybe last a few days, i don't see the harm in that. Not like we can fill the board with our scores is it? Only one score per board.

Plus there's a weekly board anyway.

So I don't see any cause for a fuss really. What am I supposed to do, just not play?

I like the idea of having something to aim for. Besides there are people who are more likely to thrash Jeff's score (Sickboy for one) so perhaps we should ban them from playing as well? Just so some ten-thumbed incompetant can be #1 for a change?

The score is to prove "it can be done" so people maybe thinking that
"that game can't be played" will have to think a bit more

Said that to get a score around 100 millions yes requires a bit of work
but "anyone can do it" and when you'll be able to complete all the 100
levels keeping "a good march" you'll be able to get close ( and even
beat ) Yak's score

It's a learning curve and we are sure that quite a number of people will
get there and beyond ..

Anyone that can to about 1 million per level is "getting it" and is "on
the good way", the rest of course it's just Practice & Play more.

After all this is a a game about score, you must have a goal/something to beat huh

?

And it's certainly not done out of anything to do with OXM Dan. I'd've done it anyway - just download the game and play one honest to Goat best effort game. I'm not going to bash at it, I'm not going to insist on being #1, all I'm saying is "here you go, that's something to aim for".

I'm not arrogant enough to assume that i won't get my cunt kicked off scorewise within days

Try it with one eye closed, one hand tied behind your back and standing on one leg. Then when you still get the top score no-one can gripe about it.

For the few hours practice i've had i'm quite proud of my 20 million - plenty of scope for improvement though.

I really need to train myself to spot the flowers because 9 times out of 10 it's those buggers catching me out......

It's easy to see flowers with your ears

Yak, Giles - just want to say thank you for putting together an awesome XBLA game. I live in the US so the game came up in the wee hours of the morning (EST), so all I could do was play the tutorial and one run through before I had to head out to the train.

A couple of things I found in just 10 minutes of play :

1. I beat OXM DAN's level 30+ score during the 3 level tutorial

2. The game is eminently playable and a true, classic, test of your dedication to mastering its nuances

Fantastic game, Bioshock is probably going to get less playtime tonight unfortunately
