Wipeout HD Competition

[Harry]

Don't get 41, I want to stop

It's one of the reasons I don't want to give it another attempt, I'll never manage 40 anyway.

[SH4R4KU]

Guy on my friends list leaderboard has zone 72 on this track though, so you FAIL SH4R4KU!!

Oh well, in the worldwide top 500 suits me just fine

[toythatkills]

Has anyone gone beyond 40 (aside from SH4R4KU?)

About to have a final few goes before the deadline and need to know what I'm aiming for!

[Rossco]

Don't think I'll manage another go, still working!

[koopatroopa90]

Not sure I will either - can we make future zone rounds end at like 2am as I perform best in the dead of night when the gf is asleep!

Nah; it's 6:30 am in Tokyo right now, so I often stop competing at 12:00 GMT as it is... the day before!

You lot made me try again a couple of days ago; only have yourselves to blame!

[toythatkills]

Okay, got 42 twice and I'm done. The second time I died about a second after it switched to Super Zen. I think even if I had the health I'd have panicked like crazy and died pretty much instantly at seeing Super Zen anyway! I managed a perfect lap in Super Phantom on the second of those 42s, too. Quite pleased with that.

Can the next challenge be something less stressy than Zone? I swear this challenge was bad for my health. I end every run with the shakes.

[SH4R4KU]

It's good for you

[toythatkills]

I just need a break from Zone for a couple of weeks, then I'll be ready

[koopatroopa90]

No chance to have another go unfortunately. Pretty happy with my effort anyway though, and I've bounced back in front of Rossco I think which is what really matters.

Also, I've realised I can play the age card here. You've all just had more gaming hours in your lives thats all yeah, thats definately it....

[toythatkills]

I've only been playing WipEout for two weeks

[koopatroopa90]

But you've been playing video games 8 years more than me. Thats 416 weeks, 2922 days, 70128 hours, 4204800 minutes. Just look at that number a second. FOUR MILLION. MILLION!....

... So you see, why would Chewbacca, an 8 foot tall Wookie choose to live on a planet inhabited by tiny little teddy bears? It does NOT make sense!

I agree that it is more than likely he played games for 8 years straight, without sleep or breaks

To be king of the teddy bears?



Are you feeling ok mate??

(so I got the exact wording wrong but you get the gist of it!)

And SH4R4KU you have already proven you are a Wipeout machine, which I guess is why you don't have a DOB listed on here so I'll just assume you have played games for an infinate period longer than all of us put together!

[SH4R4KU]

I was only teasing pal

I was born in 1983, and am 27 at the time of writing. I owned a GG, MD, PS1, Saturn and Dreamcast throughout childhood. Never played a PS2 and only ever played Wipeout, Wipeout 2097 and Wipeout HD (recently pulse and pure). I just love racing though, and really enjoy driving
