Have peformance enhancing drugs invaded EB?

[Chris]

So here's the deal.

After playing Pinch Hitter 982 times straight, I finally regained my Pinch Hitter crown from 83Predictor who stole, er I mean, won it from me to begin with. And my score eclipsed his by 4K as I scored 45,324. That was a score I figured would hold up for a bit, given the fact I played 982 times to beat 83's score of 41,672.

And now today, after basking in "the glory" for all of two days, I see he's beat me again.

I therefore demand a blood test as I believe 83Predictor may be indulging in performance enhancing activities of some sort. I'm not too sure if we test him, his keyboard or his computer but something is definitely up!

And my expectation is that Bud Selig will avoid any participation in the celebration of 83 beating my short lived high score.

Sorry Chris, you know as a kid I was never good a video games. My friends would always beat me at every game we played. I was more of a outdoor sports type. Anyway, you can thank the state of Georgia for my new video game skills. Since there is nothing better to do there when I was a full time college student with no money my room mate and a few others and I played video games a lot after class.
I will give you a pointer because your a good guy, I found that if you use the little fingure mouse pad deal on a lap top you can control the bat better.

also, I had to take a break from playing snake because I get so angry when I cant beat your score

 

[Chris]

LOL!

I say we both turn our attention to taking all Coop's trophy's away.

[Chris]

That was a call to arms Coop!

You're a man of the 80's.

It's time that used all that talent you developed in the arcades in the 80's to OWN the joint!

 

[83PREDICTOR]

Chris, how many times did you have to play this time to beat my score? I'll let you keep for a lil' while longer this time.

 

[Boston Predictor]

Yeah 83 is up to something for sure...I tried so hard to get the high score in simon, litteraly having to stop myself from breaking the monitor at times, and he breaks the record the next day!!! whats up 83? Are you sure your laptop is the secret??

 

[Chris]

Chris, how many times did you have to play this time to beat my score? I'll let you keep for a lil' while longer this time.

Actually, not too many times, but enough times that I glad I didn't have to keep count!

Go to it Champ.

Congrats to Sinbad's Mom for finally catching up and beating me on Majong.

Was that time right? 5 hours?

Its fun, and gets a little intense when your trying to clear half the screen in the final 2 minutes.

 

[Chris]

I wonder how Sinbad feels now that I stole her Blooming Gardens crown?

 

[Sinbad's Mom]

Thanks Cooperider,
The time factor is a little confusing. I don't play straight through. I play a game or two, do some housework, play another game, do some other work on the computer...etc. I figure that on average each game scores 6000 points so a score of 229,000 would be about 38 games at 2 minutes each. So that is about 76 minutes or 1 hour and 16 minutes.
Heavens if I played straight through 5 hours would be 300 minutes which would be 150 games and my average score would only be about 1500 a game. That would take a long time.
Still it was too much time to invest in a game so next time you top me I'm going to leave it to someone else to beat you...unless I have a change of heart.
Maybe I'll try to take you on at pinball next.

 

[83PREDICTOR]

Chris E. I am not very happy about you getting the low score on mini putt. I cant beat it. yet

 

[83PREDICTOR]

At least I got the swinging money from Coop

 

[Chris]

Stole my snake cup I see!

 

[83PREDICTOR]

Yup

all I need to do is get 15 HR's and no outs. yeah right

 

[LAPLANT]

Good god son, your an Arcadeaholic!!!! Better not mess w/ my Donkey Kong or Breakout cups or it's on!

 

[sawcat]

BP, That's an absurd unsubstanicated allegation.Just because I log on and play at the arcade 2 maybe 3 times a day I'm accused of being a arcadeaholic! HA! So what I if I play games by myself. So what if my eyes are crossed and dried out.So what if I forget to eat. So what if my finger is sore and my wife ignores the shouts coming from the computer room!
SO OK, I admit it ,I NEED HELP

Thanks BP
