Many, many, many attempts to beat my Pacifism score this evening, but I only managed a feeble 27 million. Of course, 27 million is higher than certain other people’s scores. People I have mentioned here before. But, it’s nowhere near the 373 million the guy at the top of my friends leaderboard has.

I AM WINNER! After another billion attempts, I finally managed to beat The Rev’s score on Deadline! By around 750k, I think. I even leapfrogged the next person up the list too! GLOAT.

Once more, The Rev thought he could beat my scores. In fact, he’d only beaten my King score (although his cheat-obtained Deadline score still stands), but not by a huge amount. After a few (say, 30) goes I’d beaten him by around a million points. Hurrah! Sadly, the news was not so good for Deadline. I beat my own score by another 300,000 or so, but didn’t manage to topple The Rev from his perch. Yet.

Several attempts at Deadline, Sequence and Pacifism to try and beat the scores I had set already, but unfortunately failed on all three. I think, in order to beat The Rev’s 4.5 million-ish on Deadline, I have to be up to around 600k after one minute, and 2 million after two minutes – and I just can’t do it.

So The Rev thought he could beat four of my scores, eh? Of course, they didn’t last long. I’d soon overtaken three of them again, and then went and improved even further on the two he couldn’t beat anyway (Pacifism and Sequence). I’m nice like that. Oh, and his Deadline score? He cheated. I’ve reported him for it. I was also nice to Something Witty, mainly by sending him messages while he was trying to beat my scores.

Hah! So That Rev Chap thought he could take me on today! Only his scores were thwarted with ease, and once again I was Champion. Champion of, erm, some, anyway. Later, I played again and almost completed Sequence mode. I can do the first 10 levels, without dying or using bombs, but not all in the same go. Which is a shame, as if I could do it, I’m pretty much guaranteed to complete the other 10 with the 5 …

So, Something Witty thought he could claw back some of his rankings, did he? Of the six modes, he’d overtaken me on 3 by the time I got to play this morning. Naturally, I slew his so called “high scores” easily. And then distanced myself from him even further on those he failed to beat me on. After that, to rub salt into his wounds, I spent a merry hour mopping up some of the achievements he hasn’t got. I …

I predicted on Usenet that GWE2 was likely to only be half the game Geometry Wars: Galaxies on the Wii was. And, having bought it, I was pretty much right. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Not in the slightest – it’s still amazing. It only had 6 “levels” (or rather, modes of play), but they’re more varied in rules than those in Galaxies. This evening’s play was supposed to be a quick go to see how it plays. An …
