I'm going to keep it simple today. I played a game early in the day between two things I had to go to and barely squeezed it in because I did pretty well. Got past that third elevator screen just fine and ended up with a really good score for me. Not quite to my top score, but it's been a while since I've even broken 100,000. In fact, I think my scores have overall gotten worse since I started this KaD thing. Oh well, I'm sure in the end I'll be better at it.

Looks like Thursday the 13th is a lucky day. My post about Alice Cooper and Megadeth when I thought yesterday was Friday made it so.

Hope that full moon helps you out this fine Valentine's Day!

You fell victim to my speculations about time, as planned. Excellent.

Congrats Travis! Now to the 200,000 points.

I still think it's so cool you have a cabinet. I would love to have a Ms. Pacman cocktail machine and a sit in Starwars and a sit in Roadblaster. that would be sooooo coool.

Darn. The top scores are just over a million. Wow! I never even got through all the screens once.

Yeah, it seems nuts, but those guys spend way more time at this than I'm willing to. I just want to get better.

The repetition would drive me nutzo. I have trouble repeating levels more than a couple times in platformers in general.

Agreed. I can put up with a lot of repetition, but that is a "whole 'nother level."

In the reflection of the screen shot picture you took of your score. I can see a mirror image of what looks like a desk with a chair pushed into it. Not sure if it's just a chair itself and a cabinet but it looks like a desk to me in the picture.

Oh, I don't see it in this one, but did in others. It's a crappy press-board desk for crafting with a nice dining room chair pushed up to it. I made sure to wear pants in all of these pictures to avoid any real surprises.
