Challenge: The punishment of Kevin Birrell... (500/999 @ 3:53.16!)

Thread in 'Competition' started by KevinDDR, 6 Apr 2009.

  1. In this thread, I'm just going to post the result of every game of Death I play for the next two weeks. That means every game, no BS "oh this try sucked, JK" stuff. If I don't break M by the end of the two weeks, I'll be a little disappointed.

    Updates will be made after every 10 games. This post will be edited as to avoid cluttering up the Records board with my stupid personal threads.

    22 Games Played

    So today was kind of a crock of shit. Horrible play as usual. I just stack too high, end up with some piece that doesn't fit, and completely lose it. The speed isn't too much to handle at all, I just don't have the intuition for stacking in this game. Maybe that'll change soon.

    Goal: 50 Games Played, 350 or higher score. Actual: 37 games played,

    <--- HOLY SHIT!!! Amazing...

    Well, today started off kind of poorly but tonight, oh man tonight I picked it UP! I had a pretty good string of 200+ games, and quite a decent amount of 300+s. Of course, the highlight was the last game I played. I had a nearly empty field at 300, and I knew at that point that I was going to set a new record. I guess I should work a little more on consistency still...

    Goal: 30 games played, 10 games over 300 Actual: 37 games played,

    71 @ 0:42.51 <- failure
    275 @ 2:20.01
    89 @ 0:49.48 <- at least the speed wasn't so bad

    So now I need to keep working on consistency, but always push that speed too...




    Day of rest.



    The next fucking nightmare...

    and your best is :

    1) Relax between game
    2) judging by your disparate result, try to be more efficient : less speed, think more.
    3) repeat 10 times : Amnesia is a piece of cake.
     
  4. Something I learned first hand: Never play when you're angry.

    High-speed 20G, unlike other games, is not a stress relief outlet. It only worsens stress.

    Interesting. Getting to level 500 is certainly doable, but I doubt you could get m in 2 weeks. Prove me wrong! ^^

    I wish you good luck.
     
  6. Secret Grade and Tetris Plus are amazing ways to relieve stress. Get on that shit if you're feeling down.

    500 @ 3:53.16

    congrats ! for this performance.
    But you still need to save almost 30 sec. Don't dream, you can't reasonably get M in 2 weeks...


    Yep, but primarily focus on getting 500 as much as you can [​IMG]
     
  8. Sorry for a delay...my computer is occupied by a crazy programmer (my dad) tonight. Please don't think I am getting weak and giving up...I played over 40 games today. I'll update ASAP, before my match with Amnesia tomorrow.

    Very impressive. At this point it wouldn't surprise me anymore if you got m or close to it within 2 weeks. And even if you don't succeed you will probably do it soon. Keep it up! ^^
     
  10. Today was my day off...community service in the morning, lunch in the lunch, dinner in the dinner, orchestra rehearsal until 10pm. Sorry guys. However, DO NOT THINK THAT I AM JUST GIVING UP LIKE THIS OR THAT I WILL MAKE A HABIT OF BEING SO LAZY!!! Tomorrow I will return...
     
  11. Amen to Secret Grade relieving stress!
     
  12. Amen to thread mega-necros! :awe:
     
  13. i don't know what you guys are talking about; I play death 300 to relieve stress all the time...=X
