Twin Galaxies has verified another perfect Pac-Man run performed by David Race from Beavert Creek, Ohio. He also has done so in the fastest official time.
Only six players had ever submitted perfect Pac-Man scores, the first being Billy Mitchell in 1999.

TG's Wii Sports Resorts Scores Posted on Kotaku
This morning and I found out that Kotaku had posted Wii Sports Resort scores. That was something I didn't did not expect to see. Seeing my name among those listed was also nice to see.
I'm glad to see a well know blog like Kotaku taking notice of the score posted on Twin Galaxies. Hopefully this will be a trend and not a fad.

Chiming In (August 1, 2009)
Personal life has been not so this year. Gone worse just recently. No specifics, but it has cut into my time Twin Galaxies, Empire Arcadia, etc. My practice time -- and execution -- for certain games has suffered also. I can't get back into full gear until I get to some stuff sorted personally. Hopefully that is sooner or later.
I was looking to go to an MLG this season to play Fight Night Round 4 but I'm too broke right now. Hopefully they will be holding them when I get back on my feet.
I have received a comment for my ECA blog from ECA's Brett Schenker, himself. I appreciate the response but I stand by what I have posted. I don't believe the President said anything requiring "action" thus far. If I don't question the ECA's motives in this action campaign, even more harsher critics will.
Wii Sports Resort came out so I picked that game up. The Wii Motion Plus did wonders the the Wii Sports follow-up. As usually I will see how far I can go in that game.
I found out from a Tweet that Triforce, Justin Wong, and Prod1gy picture from the Jinx shoot made it into Play magazine. I'm proud of them. They have been in the gaming scene for years and have earned it.
Well that's pretty much it. Cya next post.

Funspot 11
Triforce invited me to go with him to Funspot 11 and it was the offer I couldn't refuse. This was my second Funspot tournament and I was ready to live retain the reputation I have earned last year.
On Thursday night I met up with Triforce and Kubuu. In the morning we left to pick up Wes and Justin and then we were officially off.(We got a van for this year. Last year we too the Greyhound. I rode shotgun and stayed awake for most of the ride. The hilarious punchlines from Justin, Wes, and Triforce.
Once we got to NH first thing we did was take a look at the condo were were staying at. It more like an apartment-like condo compared to the cottage-type area we stayed in. We didn't take long too to check the place out because we only had two days to do our scores.
The moment I walked into the arcade I felt much different than my first Funspot visit last year. I was less starstruck now. There were people who knew who I was. And I would get asked to sign Twin Galaxies books. I liked the new feeling.
I walked around to play the different games. I didn't have much pressure to set a new record since I already have one that stood up for last year. I did try to go for the NBA JAM TE blowout record, though. I was on pace to actually beat it but the computer wanted to be started being a poopy head and closed the lead. I decided to save my quarters to play something else.
We touched base with Rudy Chavez, whom first met Empire Arcadia at last year's E For All. He helped Triforce with some of the few trouble area in Mercs. Both players maxed out the game and then later teamed up with Graham Ogilvie to post up a team score.
When the arcade closed we headed back to our "condo" and we to rest up and Rudy Chavez tagged along. I immediately got out my Wii to play some Punch-Out to work on some Punch-Out times. The "Ohio Refs", Dennis, Russel, J.D., and Dan, gave us a visit to play some games with us. They watched me deliver super quick Von Kaiser (contender) KO which was just over 29 seconds. Which became the official Twin Galaxies record. I also got to play Williams Pinball, and Mario Strikers Charged. It was good moment.
At the start of the next day I received some bad news that my time for First Kaiser was beaten by Russel. Can't do much about it now. So I went on to the machines. I was later asked by Stephen Nichols to watch him play a game called Leprechaun. He posted a top 4 score. Very impressive. Wes and Kubuu were working on some Smash Bros. Scores. In between Smash games Wes tried to go for today's mystery game Spectar, or "Pac-Man with a gun", as how Wes described it. He got 50,000 points, which is quite good. I suggested he officially submitted the score but I don't know if he did.
Another score I helped watch was Gorf. I don't know the guy's name but he scored in the 700,000's, beating Todd's golden age score. I'm glad I was summoned to view a portion of his score.
After the Gorf score was set Walter Day gathered us referees for a group photo. After that I got invited to dinner at a restaurant with Mappy record holder Greg Bond and the Crams. During the meal we talked about various topics such as video games, weather climate, and break dancing (Greg's hidden talent). I enjoyed the dinner. I'm glad I came along.
After dinner I rejoined the rest of Empire back at the arcade for the last hour of arcade time. Since we couldn't stay for Sunday, I decided to use my last tokens on Tetris with gaming queen Christian Cram watching. When the arcade closed for the night we headed back to the condo. I went straight back to playing Punch-Out!! while the rest of the crew picked up food. I later got a visit from...shot, a whole lot of people. I let them in and went on with working on getting my First Kaiser record. I had a few close ones but I finally squeezed in a 28 second time with milliseconds separating me and Russell. Triforce and the rest of EMP came back with the food and I told them the good news. After the brief celebration, a full blown session commenced. Of course Justin, Triforce, and I held up the Empire name while Kubuu and Wes slept through it all. :-/
On Sunday, after a shower and a breakfast of leftover pizza, I left the condo with the rest of the group and stopped by the arcade to say goodbye to everyone. (That was when I found out I lost the Kaiser record again!) After that we made hopped in the van and headed back home.
The trip to Funspot 11 was fun and I enjoyed chilling with familiar faces and competing. I'm glad I got to play this year.

I'm now in 2nd place
I have found out on Twin Galaxies that my Wii Sports Home Run Derby score got beaten. By only fifteen feet. (http://www.twingalaxies.com/index.aspx?c=22&pi=70&gi=6468&vi=24044)
My score had been number one for over a year. I must admit that I thought that it would stay up there until I'm ready to record a 6000 foot run. I guess I have to cut the off time and get back to work.
Don't worry. Jeffrey Widzinski may have the score for now but it will be mine at the end.

Just a recap for the week
There is nothing much just a few updates and stuff.
This past weekend I was entered qualifier for the Soul Calibur IV nationals with Blood Red and Sanford. I didn't do well and I wasn't feeling so happy so I decided to go home early Red and Sanford stayed overnight. When I talked with Red back at the ARC later in the week he told me how much I missed. He and Sanford chilled with people from the SC communtiy and learned a bit more. I must not be bummed out about losing and learn from my defeats.
I'm am still trying the get the broken Hori Soul Cailibur Stick (Xbox 360) exchanged. They told me to take it to the store to get a new one. The problem is that the store I got it from have a strict return policy. Basically screwing me over. So have no choice but to save up for a suitable replacement. The Arcade-in-a-Box looks okay. The MadCatz Street Fighter Tournament Stick looks like but I dont feel like shelling out that kind of money. (It's $170 a stick and I'd have to get both the PS and Xbox version for the sake of competion.) I don't consider the Arcade-in-a-Box a money-saver, but getting a 2-in-one is more convinient and I'd save a hundred easy.
Amazon has some early copies of Guinness Gamer's Edition 2009. A few of the TG community have alread got their copy. I heard that some of my Metal Slug Anthology (Wii) scores are on there. I don't mean to sound ungrateful but I would rater my Wii Sports record in that book that Metal Slug. I originally went after them as inagural scores in effort to become a ref. When Scott Patterson and Will Willemstyn beat them I pushed to get them back. My ultimate goal is to set a record with a completed game on the Wii version and eventually moving on to the Arcade version of those games. Metal Slug goals aside, I am in a Guinness book and that's something I can brag to my realatives.
I have been reading about YouTube suspending game reviewers accounts at the request of a few video game publishers. I would understand if the user put a full movie or music album on their account. But mere reviews for a game, most of which don't last longer than 10 minutes? I feel any user can be allowed to at the very least MENTION the name of what they are reviewing with retributin, but that's just me.
I'm currently reading a book written by Bret Hart entitled "Hitman" Bret covers his whole pro wrestling career. It mentions stuff I did not think Bret would ever admit to. I won't spoil anything right now. I might review the book when I finish it.
That's it for this post. I got stuff to do. Really, I do.
