D2K record is TKO'd by Ben Falls

Almost one year ago, Scott Kessler set a WR score on D2K: Jumpman Returns that seemed breathlessly high.  It remained untouchable until March 2009, when Ben Falls officially became the first person to top 300K with a 301,800.   Just a few days later he upped that to an incredible 361,300, and now 400K is in his sights!  Several players have broken through on this title recently and scores are being pushed dramatically higher by top competitors.

Rob Mruczek called me yesterday to let me know to look out for a 'major' announcement that will likely first appear on the TG forums, then on the front page.  Both should happen tomorrow, April 2nd (he realized that announcing anything on the first would be met with skepticism !!).  I'd advise checking in just after midnight ET (Rob's in NYC), just to see if it's gone up.  Only one thing's for sure - he can't post in the range from 2 AM until 3AM...

I couldn't get much of any clue out of him, but, apparently, it's not about the book, so I'm guessing that it's some major change, in either personel, or policy.  So... we'll see.

Of course, it could merely be a new wr, but, I don't get the impression that that's what's going to happen.  In any case, we'll know for sure very soon...

Looks like poor old Roy has been topped.  I'll assume it was the Missile Command wr write-up.  Score was over 1.9mil on tgts.

It was indeed Tony 'TT'Temples score on MC.

I met TT at the CGEUK event last year, and he is a top guy. Watching him play the game from behind (obviously) was a nerve-wrecking experience , let me tell you. He failed then, but now has the glory.

I believe MDA, you have some pictures from the event, one of which was Tony playing MC? Make the scoop, and show the master playing said game, just to let fellow gamers what he looks like and stuff...



Cheers,


AL

Hi Al.  I'm sure all regular forum members have already seen this link / announcement elsewhere, but just in case a guest 'surfs in' from Google or somewhere, I'll post the link to the CGEUK page I put up with your pics.  It's here, and both you and TT can be seen among the photos.  Thanks again for your contribution !   Grin
