I dunno.... should you?


What a twatty thing to say. Seriously.


If you don't agree with my view that's fine, it's your opinion, likewise I have my own. :roll:
That wasn't really directed at you.
So it was aimed at me then? how could you?
I guess it's aimed at anyone who thinks people should be banned from leaderboards. :)
Been round this road so many times
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This taste of milk is almost gone
Still got my shame, but not for long
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, in the rain
But the rain all turned to piss

Nuts. I come home from work and I'm out of the top 100- time to get back at it. (My goal for this week is to get that pod preserver achievement. The game is HARD if you never jump.)

Having so much fun though. Thank you Yak and Goat. (and cool to hear you kept in touch w/ Tal!)

I have to say I don't understand this "Jeff shouldn't play his own game" argument at all... Jeff and Giles have been awaiting this release for months, of course the first thing they're going to do is fire it up and set some scores to the best of their ability, and it seems a little childish to be upset or surprised that they get good scores.

The likes of Sickboy and Mr A won't see them as offputting, they'll see them as a challenge :)

Still not got an X360 to play it myself yet... it's getting harder to resist all the time :? :D

Thats because it isn't a 'Jeff shouldn't play his game' arguement.


It's a feeling amongst some players, myself included that posting a score of half a billion plus on the first day takes the edge of things.

And aside from Rev... no-ones really bitterly upset either. Just disappointed.


Thats all.

I think I'm with TwistedScrote on this one. It's tricky. If I was in Jeff's position I would have done exactly the same tbh. But with hindsight, I think maybe setting a teaser score would have been better.

Don't get me wrong. I think it's important that Jeff's best score goes on there. The leaderboard would be invalid otherwise. Without it if you were number one you'd have to assume Jeff could beat it. With it on there everyone gets the chance to prove they can beat it. It has to be that way.

But I think setting the bar quite so high so early on wasn't ideal.

Like I said, without this issue being raised I'd have done exactly the same. Now, assuming I could muster the restraint, I'd hope I wouldn't.

Those of us without Xboxes require regular updates on the hi score list!
Before all the exploiters realise and rack up a big score. :wink:

Gah, so bugging! Had a massive sesh on it last night following my 'playing it like its tempest' lunchtime at work sesh yesterday... worked out how to play it properly last night and am racking up better scores, but no internets to keep 'em logged!

ha, Ok it'll sound silly coming so late, but it really isn't tempest is it :D Bulling is so fucking satisfying. Jedburgh's tune is the stand-out fucking classic in there too. I had to keep whacking up the sound every time I heard the opening chords to it. Such an awesome tune...

Do do do do do do!

Being able to fire across the web can get you out of a sticky "argh! - no-pods!" bulling opportunity too.

I've noticed something strange yesterday too. PVB was gone (I noticed because I was trying to kick his butt) and I had to reload the boards before it showed his score again.

Would that be a SG or Live thing?

Well, I spotted that too...
See the other thread : http://www.yakyak.org/viewtopic.php?t=67010

I now always consult the "View Friends Leaderboard" on the XBox Live Arcade tab first before starting up the game itself, to see who I want to beat during that session :wink:
That list displays all my friends (but not the ones that still need the accept the friend requests) all the time.

But I don't think it's a Live thing (says Carl very carefully, afraid to be shredded to pieces by Giles and Yak...) because "View Friends Leaderboard" always shows correct results...

Yeah you'll catch me eventually. I still haven't forgiven you for beating my Pinball FX score ;)

I see someone else has been reading that disgraceful thread over at Stu's forum. He'd be the first to complain if that was going on over here directed at him.
