I'll have the full-sized originals up on the Members Area soon, and also the discarded shots (almost 70) up on the Elite Members Area.
OK, everyone - done deal ! I have everything from the two tourneys up and ready, in both the regular Members Area, and the Elite Members Area. I have also modified things, so that anyone can look at a description of all of what's available in both the regular, and Elite, Members Areas. To do so, go to the
introductory page, and click the
I agree button to go to the descriptive page.
Now, just as a 'preview' of what's to come, I'm currently working on getting the media page (with videos and sounds) set up, and also I'll be working this month on updates for the CAGDC True world records scoreboard. Then, perhaps by year's end, I'll have a few more photo sets up, including lots more for both of the Members Areas. Stay tuned...
heh thank you Mark, I ejoyed the pics, saved a few of them to add to my mysapce account, but I cannot wait for my vid, that I post up on youtube, than my profile, but I am in no rush for it right now so but good work, and I will see you in march :3
You're welcome Ryan, and thanks to you (and everyone else who either was there for the two events, and / or is a faithful forums reader !) for your patience. As I wrote to you separately, please keep the use of photos offsite to a minimum (and, please ask first). Also, I must ask that no sharing of videos take place, since if they're on Youtube, then the viewer has no reason to visit my site.
Basically, I simply want Internet users to have to come to my site to see things like the photos or videos I post. That way, I get occasional benefits, like them buying DVD's, or checking out my
'Trade or Sale' page. That helps me to pay for my web site's domain and hosting costs, and also occasionally garners me a few $$$ extra, which I use to help defray a small part of the cost of my trips to the various events (which average around $600 each).
Thanks for putting up the pics! They are awesome. I forgot about the "incident" on Frogger. I'll have to ask around to see if anyone has every seen this. That was really strange.
I am looking forward to the marathon AND to the next tourney at Challenge Arcade. Any ideas on the games yet?
I encourage everyone to check out the pics and see the screen pic for Frogger! It was wild , what happened.
You're quite welcome, Bryan. They did turn out well, tho I'm sorry that I was so busy running the March tourney that I couldn't take nearly as many photos as I wanted to at that event.
Yep, the
Frogger pic shows the non-disappearing skull and crossbones. When you die on the game, they normally very briefly appear onscreen, in the position that your frog was when he died. On this game, they stayed on for about 2 minutes, and then they disappeared, and the game went on normally.
Yes, I encourage everyone who can to attend the December exhibition, featuring (for now) Bryan, who will break the wr on
Burger Time (there's no doubt in my mind that he will, so I'll just say it that way). Pat Laffaye may show, and attempt a
Frogger record, and I imagine that some other gamers may show up and take a stab at things, such as Frank Lupia on
Pengo. Perhaps Ryan can go for the
CarnEvil record, too. I'll be putting up some more details on this mini-event soon, on
this thread.
As far as the games go, I'll be talking to Joe probably this week, and confirming the available titles before I put up the poll I mentioned in
this post (and, also later in the thread). I'll likely have the poll up next week.
The pictures are great Mark. It was great to see everybody in action. I saw Walter from TG mention the contest in his forum section. The "Frogger" glitch was something I never saw before but I believe I heard about it before, but it's a random thing. I've seen many weird glitches in Mr. Do! lately and I'll have to write about them one day. Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing Bryan go for the Marathon in December. Good Luck Bryan!!
You're certainly welcome, Frank. Thanks for the input on the TG forums, and the glitches. I'd definitely like to hear about some of the
Mr. Do! bugs. Please do a writeup when you have time, and post in the
Games, Games, it's All About the Games... section. Oh, and, what's the scoop - will you try for
Pengo while Bryan's going for
Burger Time ??
hehe Frank and Mark, just beat my own score on carnevil, a little bit more
1,263,420, I know one day I will take record *mwahha* ^^, anyway, I might stop by and watch Bryan go at it, I could maybe do a world marathon on puzzle fighter XD, maybe I dont know yet, but cannot wait to see you guys in march
Congrats on raising your
CarnEvil mark. Keep going until you top the 2M wr !! I think marathoning
SPF2 X would be difficult, since it ends after so many fighters. Of course, I guess you could draw it out on the first few screens, and build your score up... I'll see you in March !
oh and Mark, I got your e-mail its cool, I know my vid cant than but its cool ^^, but anyway how good do you think I would do going for a marathon on puzzle fighter?
and one game I would like to see, Magical Drop III, that game is so fun......XD, anyway gotta go got work in the morning
Maybe you know how to draw out the game and make it last, but as I said above, I figure that it would be hard to do. But, you're the best player I've ever seen, so you could do very well, no doubt.
Thanks for the suggestion about
MD III. I think it's in the red Neo-Geo 2-slot unit, isn't it ? But, that's the one that we'll probably use for a Jamma cart that I have, and may use in next year's event. Or, I might bring a N-G title of my own. I do have a couple that I like.
Well, that sums up my response to your posts, guys. Thanks very much for the kind words, and I'm glad to put all this stuff up, both for your enjoyment, and to preserve it as a documentation of these great events.
