'The GRCade Games Guru Competiton IX'

[Corazon de Leon]

We have to cut wrestling promos on each other?

In. It'll be like GRWF all over again. If only HTTKB were still around.

I give up with the F5-ing. I'll be back in 5.

Didn't you put together an incredible title run with Orton?

I've only just noticed that Jay's team all have #teammysterio as their "Post Count Names".

The admin is a stealth #TeamMysterio fan.

Yeah, they'll only have to ask a mod to get rid of them next week when the team stuff ends/most of them leave the competition.

I was champion for ages IIRC, which was bizarre as I was fighting against wrestlers with much better in game stats. I always thought it would have been awesome if PP was fixing the results for the sake of the storylines, which would have been the ultimate, greatest swerve of them all. Wouldn't have had a problem with it, either - he'd have been a better booker than Russo!

Too many flying RKOs out of nowhere.

The competition might end, but the bond formed by #TeamMysterio will never fade.

Bant of brothers 4 lyfe.

I was the Viper before the real thing happened.

[Tragic Magic]

Team Mysterio are a fad.

There may have been one or two

Honestly I don't remember much of the storyline stuff. Right at the end I wanted to do a HTTKB Vs The Boss feud. I made a Vince style CAW with orange skin and pink hair to match Beaker

TASK TWO -'iOS SOS'



The biggest shift that has happened in gaming in the time since this contest last ran 18 months ago is the sheer rise and rise of mobile gaming. People are even discussing whether there is a place for dedicated handheld platforms anymore such is the popularity. These 69p downloads have turned the industry on its head - and now it could turn the contest here on its head.

Two contests ago, Psychicsykes had a virtual breakdown after the introduction of a gaming task - then 'Colour Wars'. I have this nagging itch that in a contest for gamesplayers - the contest should involve SOME gamesplaying - so in this challenge you will be playing some of the hottest flash games of the last couple of years.

Below are three pretty different flash games - 'Solipskier', 'Wonderputt' and 'Robot Unicorn Attack'. Your aim is to get the highest score you can in each game. Whether you decide to concentrate on one more then the rest is up to you, but between the 24 of you you will competetiting to be in the top twelve leaderboard for each game.

At the end of the task - whoever has the best scores in each challenge will score as such...

1st - 15pts
2nd - 11pts
3rd - 10pts
4th - 12th - a sliding scale down from 9pts down to 1pt

Your total for the three games will be added up, and the player with the HIGHEST score will score the 24pts, the lowest scorer will score just 1pt, with ties splitting points as usual.

The games are below -

'Solipskier'

In this game you must guide a skier up and down slopes of your own making to score points for speed and going through gates. In this challenge I am looking simply for the HIGHEST SCORE possible in ONE LIFE.

'Wonderputt'

A beautifully bizarre game thats more Yellow Submarine then Augusta - with more then a sprinkling of 'PangYa' about it - your challenge is to get the LOWEST UNDER PAR SCORE possible over 18 holes. There is a score element to this game, and beating it once opens up 'Wonder' mode which allows for highest scores - but ALL I want to know is your score UNDER PAR.

'Robot Unicorn Attack'

This is an auto-run game - and a pure test of gaming ability. It also happens to be about a unicorn collecting butterflies to the tunes of Erasure. Frank is quite literally going to be in paradise. Never mind eh? In this game I am looking for the highest collective score over three WISHES (ie lives). This is a pure test of gaming skill.

Once you have recorded the highest scores you believe you can, you must PM me with SCREENGRABS of ALL THREE SCORES (or less if you have decided to ignore one game to concetrate on others). Please ensure these screengrabs arent huge! With no screengrabs - your scores will NOT count!

You are permitted to only PM me ONCE with your scores. So only PM me when you feel you can't do any better, or have given up. Once the scores are sent to me, they are LOCKED IN. You may not send me any updates after this.

You may play the games as much as you like to practice.

Scores are NOT to be discussed in the thread or between team-mates, although team-mates may help each other get better at the games!

You have until 10pm on TUESDAY to get in your best scores. Failure to submit ANY scores WILL score a ZERO for you and your team! Be warned! There will be zero tolerance on late scores for this challenge.

As the judge of this game my decision as always is final and made in the best intentions of the contest!

Good luck everyone - get gaming!

Man, I'm crap at Robot Unicorn Attack
