I apologize for being late. I have been out of commission the last couple of weeks as Covid hit my house. I am back in operation now and will be getting these counted and released either today or tomorrow. I only had my phone to work with at home and I am not as good working with it. Now I am ...
I’ve been wanting to get in on the donkey king action. I just bought this for next to nothing. It needs repaired but hopefully I’ll figure out how to get it going and will start chasing a kill screen soon.
Something went goofy with my ESI. I noticed over the past couple of days it jumped 20 points. Based no my submissions I expected it to jump 1 or 2 points. I know in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter much, but I wanted to point it out just in case someone would want to check it out
It took me a few months but I finally got to the magical 4,000 threshold this morning. I believe that puts me as a full member in terms of access and ability. ?
It’s time for the 5th annual peer choice award! I understand that this annual thread is the brainchild of @Marcade, and I my only intention is to keep it going in his absence. The moment of his return this will return to his hands. No torch has been passed, I am simply holding it for a season, ...
I’ve noticed that each year there are awards handed out that are voted on by the community. I have been trying to figure out where we do that at but haven’t been able to find it. Has the process not started yet, or am I missing it? Could someone point me in the right direction?
I know I am late to the party, as my past weekend was pretty full (working retail and family time), but I wanted to wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for this community and the warm welcome I have received here. It is an absolute pleasure to be a part of this and I look forward ...
When attempting a 2 player record is it best to set up a separate account here for both of us, or just submit it under my name? The other person couldn't care less about being on the leader board, and to be honest isn't really that good. I just need them to get started, lol. The rules ...
I blew it today and submitted two things wrong that will need to be rejected. Aside from the loss of submission points is there any other consequence to the coming rejections?
How do you all get such crisp videos of your gaming? I have ben using my iPhone 8 to film my play on my CRTV and I really struggle with getting a crisp video. Those of you who have watched my games have noticed, especially with trying to capture the final score. I would like to get better at ...
Perhaps I am missing something, but I noticed that this score went through, yet the time is wrong. I don't have enough credibility to do anything at this point. Am I missing something? https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/222553
Twin Galaxies is still the official source for the Guinness Book of World Records correct? I was just curious as I see other sites that do speed runs and points.
I learned a new frustration today. Playing a game and recording your best score ever, only to find out you didn’t push record when you thought you did... ****.
Is there more than one version of the Atari Flashback? I just found one and started playing and I noticed that some of the games that are on it have no records listed on TG, and are games I would expect people to love. Breakout and Yar's Revenge for example. I also noticed games listed on ...
Perhaps it has been tried before and didn't work, but I would think that having a small "store" here at TG would generate some revenue. Twin Galaxies hats and t-shirts would surely sell. I for one would buy at least one.
I see various levels of members. "Junior" "Senior" and some just "member". Are there milestones to get to each level? How does that all break down? I am curious by nature and the more I see it, the more I want to know lol
I noticed that I have one “wrong vote” (though I don’t understand why it was wrong). What happens if you vote wrong? I’m assuming there is a negative consequence to doing so.
I have been here for a month or so and am starting to feel more comfortable here, but I do have a silly question in regards to submitting non record scores. I notice that there are only a handful of people here that seem pretty active and I would prefer not to anger people. I played a game ...
Being new here I need help with some things I see often but don't fully understand. How is ESI calculated and what weight does it carry? I have my first item on the board but still see mine at zero. INP. What is that and how is it and how do you run one? I want to be very involved in this ...
I am working to add a new record track for a game on the NES. I see that 25 submission points are needed (on top of my 10 that will be used?). Do I need to have other people donate those, or is it usually something that a person does themselves and 'donates' them all? I have the points ...
Is there a way to watch videos for voting purposes on your phone? I'm having no problem on my computer but cannot from the app. I just get a box that says vzaar player. I'm not by my computer as often as I am with my phone.
I just submitted my first record attempt. I came up 900 points short of the record, but still good enough for second place. Or course, there is only one entry so second place is also last place, lol.
Are submissions only for new records, or is it ok to submit slightly under record scores? For example, if there are 10 people in the books for a game and my score would put me in the 5th spot us it ok to submit?
I'm new to the community here. I look forward to getting to know the site and to someday earning a record of my own.
