You're dreaming buddy!

-discovered that psikyo games are easy as fuck.

Double dreaming.

[TLB]

ahhh, but am i? :) progear you can just use the bullet cancelling as infinite bombs, psikyo's always the same. tap tap tap tap tap tap and very little variation in danger between separate plays :)

scoring changes progear, but psikyo not so much :D

have you played these games?

how exactly do you bullet cancel on a boss with no popcorn enemies....

1cc progear, even the US version, then talk smack....

Also, Gunbird 2.

[TLB]

progear bosses are easy, for one =/ gunbird 2, i'll concede, gets difficult, but it's nothing that bombs can't solve. until the second loop, anyway. and jonny5, like i said, i've gotten to the end of progear and game-overed on purpose. there isn't very much difference between US and JP versions anyway; a survival strat for a particular section in the US version will be just as effective in the JP version, from my (admittedly extremely limited) experiments. i didn't want progear being my first arcade clear (first loop, of course). i did the same thing with futari original; it wasn't something i wanted to remember that way :P

anywho, my list for this year is right here: http://medal.falsficare.com and i intend to keep to it. i haven't been playing video games very much since 1LCing DDP, so when i get around to clearing futari maniac, i'll let you know how long it takes me to do progear :)

another accomplishment from last year:

-won a free lunch at buffalo wild wings by squatting several times my weight 25-30 consecutive times

define several...

[TLB]

i don't remember. i weight ~125lb and it was between 280lb-340lb that i did. unless it's nearing the most i can possibly do, i can squat any weight practically forever. no one believed i could do it so i made some bets :P

[neorichieb1971]

I went on two exotic holidays for the first time in one year.

I managed to keep my job.

I ended up with more money than I had in 2008.

I got more kisses in 2009 than the previous 5 years combined.

I'm impressed you find it so easy, took me months to 1cc the JP version (and get a half decent score.)

Try Dragon Blaze dude, it's a walk in the park.

[BryanM]

define several...

More importantly, define "squat". Wiggling a couple inches is just useless masturbation - proving your bones were built with a safety factor ~4 is about as impressive as pooping. Like my small poops; not the heroic ones that approach the size of my forearm.

[TLB]

no, the teacher was a nazi about that sort of thing; he'd make us do entire sets over if we fucked up a single rep.

[BryanM]

Okay~

I look forward to seeing you in the olympics with anticipation.
