This week I uploaded my 1 credit clear #24 in the game Mat Mania aka Exciting Hour which was featured in the MGLXLVII tournament hosted by @OOO .I upload a new video every friday and sometimes in between. I do score runs, record submissions, speedruns, timelapse videos among others.

A couple of years ago @redelf opened a dispute on Phil Britts Paperboy Grand Slam score of 1,136,435 points.

35 years ago today, Gradius/Nemesis was released in arcades.

Yesterday was a pretty standard, uneventful, day.Then, I got a calll about if I was interested in joining a Retro eSports team? They explained the basics and their ideas for the team, why they chose me and who else they had/would reach out to.I said, yes.I'm excited to see where this leads. Or if ...

I've looked everywhere but I can't seem to find the order form?I found an old post that you could find it on your profile page under TG Rankings but I can't see it there either?Where is it hidden? Does anyone know?

During Kim's Gyrusss marathon I had a go at the Crazy Taxi record. It didn't result in a world record, but a personal best and a solid 2nd place.
Please take a lot at my submission, I took my shirt off and everything to pump those stream numbers. Those numbers were rookie numbers :P

I've had the oppertunity to play Crazy Taxi on both GameCube and Xbox 360, back to back, and I've started to notice some subtle differences that might affect performance and gameplay.

After playing the GameCube version for a while I took a small break on my couch and decided not to walk ...

I'm slowly but steadily getting back into Crazy Taxi. I still have the map memorized but the customer colors/rules are a bit hazy still.The reason I picked Gena was because this was only meant to be a practice run, but it turned out to be a PB run. I beat my old PB by around $350 but had 20 customers ...

I'm thinking about painting my motorcycle rims next year. Yay or nay?

Usually it's not possible, on other consoles like NES, SNES etc., to submit scores for NTSC on a PAL console as they run at the wrong refreshrate. 50hz in PAL and 60hz in NTSC. Sometimes there's differences in the games too.

BUT!

What about the Dreamcast? Just like with Everdrives, ...

I can't believe it's almost been a year since this project started!!

Playtime count is now 32 Hours.

Had a game tonight that started out OK but turned to **** as I cleaned up too early in the Downtown area but in the end, because I had 350 seconds left at $70,000, it turned into a PB game where I broke the $90,000 barrier

Was playing a game of Crazy Taxi tonight to try and figure out an approach to pickup all 245 customers and I accidentally broke the game? Did something so that the camera freaked out and I had to restart.

Got a new personal best with 207 customers ...

Don't know why Twin Galaxies insists of this picture being laid down ...

Anyway, I played back the tapes and noted everytime I picked up a customer. On the left I put the number of customers at each location.

The total amount ...

Made a video of me achieving the highest rank in Crazy Taxi, Crazy Rank.

I played on default settings which is 50 second start timer, time difficulty 4 and traffic difficulty 4

Playcount is now 19 hours. Had a 2 hour game tonight on Crazy Taxi and got a new PB.

$76.518,33 and 190 customers




I didn't record this run so I can't check the tapes so the following is pulled from memory from the top of my head. ...

Crazy Taxi routing is quite the puzzle and it's hard to even know where to begin to unravel that mess.

I decided to just list how many customers that are at each location and how many drop offs I have at each location according to my spreadsheet.

Now, keep in mind that the ...

Got done sorting the locations in Crazy Taxi with the preferred pickup color, how many of that color and where they want to go.

Step 1 complete. Now, in Step 2, I "just" have to string the whole mess together in an optimal route to pick up everybody. My head already hurts...

...

I've been doing some shorter games, in the hunt for a crazy rank, on default difficulty. Not easy. But tonight I finally got it. Now back to that giant puzzle that is the Crazy Taxi Route!...

Playtime Counter is currently at 18 hours



...

Have the fundamentals down except a few locations that requires customer color pattern recognition which is hard to memorize multiple locations at a time.

On this particular run I only had a few backwards fares so I'm pretty confident with both the map and the customer colors. I still need ...

Even though the top 30 times on the online leaderboards for Crazy Taxi on Xbox Live Arcade are obviously hacked (30th is plausible) it feels damn good to get into top 100.

I unlocked an avatar item yesterday for playing the game for 10 hours, ...

Average game lasts about 1.5 hours now :o I memorized the map so next step is to make some kind of sense about the customers!?

In this run I had emptied eveything from the park to the police station. Had to drive around alot at the end to find more passengers.
