  • Hey we could get @TienShenLong to ask about @yoshiki and translate for us! !
  • @fenikus crap. ignore that previous message. i'm an idiot. You can mouseover the date and time of the comment and copy the link. For some reason, it doesn't show the full link in my status bar until a few seconds after the mouseover, so I thought it didn't work. No need for view source.
  • So maybe during the Gold Rush there was more than just gold dust around and they sieved. Anyway, you're right, at this point, pans will do better at the River than sieves, no really big nuggets left ;)
  • If someone gonna kick our birds butts at least rwe could know who, how, and well we know why!
  • @Kathy TSL is Peruvian. Says he speaks Spanish. You'd need @SweetP or what's her name. thee-michelle?
  • Yeppers, that works @Kelani, thanks.
  • BFNIMCBLIDKBPW (okay, now I've officially become BP "furniture")
  • Oh ya @theemichelle could do it! !
    Well my night is ruined!! While i was out I'charged'my tablet weelllll the sstupid extension cord was hanging off the wall so I'm at 22% charge:( gonna die faster than i can fling:(; (
  • @Kathy Screen brightness low, sound off. fling fast :D Actually, can't you plug it in while you fling, or are you in the middle of a lake on a raft or something?
  • Cosmos is on. Keltech support closed for the next hour. :P
  • @fenikus -- To link to a particular comment, click on the time. The URL to change to something that includes a comment number.
  • @all -- Somewhat behind, so if you already know this, or previous comment, please excuse.
    I was going to tell @Kathy that TSL spoke Spanish, not Japanese. The only Japanese I know of on the nest is @thee-michelle, who won't get a notification from the BP.
  • Ok thanks @mvnla2 I am friend with theemichelle so I'll pm him?/her lol I forget i think him though. .but why would he not get notification from bp if @mentioned ?
  • @mvnla2 doesn't @SweetP also speak it?
  • Oohh cuz of the dash right?
  • @bernersenn thanks for the tips on #9. That and your HS pic finally got me above 102k.
  • Yes @Kelani i think @Sweetp does
  • @Kathy Ask her, then you can go after him in Stereo! :D

    Yay, 4,790 points to 2.6M
  • @Kathy @Kelani -- How many languages does @SweetP speak? I had no idea she spoke Japanese!
  • @mvnla2 3 I guess. She's of Japanese descent.

    edit: I dunno if she speaks it. One would assume. Then again I can't speak Czech, Serbian or Hungarian, so what do I know? :P
  • rawr. kel want points.

    Whoever suggested this challenge level. Nice job. :) This is almost a perfect challenge level.
  • Weekend Update from the "Van Down by the River" news team:

    - Kelani finally pushes his way to the top through use of his forensics analytical skills to counter disadvantages of having a bigger PC screen and ability of shooting "reduced power" shots.
    - Bernersenn's diesel engine is finally purring like a kitten; however, he is being slowed down by his enormous dogs and drops to second.
    - After explosive start, Fenikus blows his engine and is still held back in 3rd. However, rumors have leaked that his engine is fixed and clocked-in the fastest time on HD-10 track in a test run.
    - Rat continues to be sidelined by his injuries.
    - Kathy continues to hunt wabbit even though her coaches are advising her to start fishing for sushi-grade tuna.
    - Mysterious Japanese flinger Yoshiki continues his climb through LBs. VDbtR has sent Japanese speaking reporters to approach Mr. Yoshiki for comment.
    - Mrs. Bunny is continuing her decline on the LBs and has reportedly commented that "she doesn't really care." Furthermore, she is going on a trip to Spain, where playing Angry Birds is strictly forbidden by law.
    - Van Emden team's performance continues to be surprisingly sluggish; however, they are showing signs of life.
    - Veteran bryonjames pushes rookie Jojo_Movie out of the top 10.

  • @fenikus - and ever-present danger manu malin continues his slow slide after flying up to #52 10 days ago, and stopping after hearing a weird noise outside

    Aw! Don't tell me your Yugo broke down! :)
  • I don't know what ya'll talkin 'bout Mighty Manu…I saw that same score like within first 10 days of BR coming out. Like I said, I think he just played out the episode quickly just to keep his overall Rio crown.

    @Kelani, make all the fun you want, but this is an Abarth-ed Yugo!
  • @kelani the challenge was one of my picks (again). I've got a score I'm happy with but I guess I should throw a few at it since I chose it.
    And I've finally dipped my toe into Blossom River.. I'm in awe of all of you & your scores already. Only up to level 3 & it's driving me up the wall. I've got a lot of work to do.
  • Btw, I agree with you now re: BR-13 that much higher score is possible. I almost got a wicked 178K score -- great destruction in the middle, but the boulder on the right was incredulously held up by a couple of stupid crates. After I sent YB to push it down, I got 168K with 2 birds.
  • I agree @fenikus The mighty manu just played through quickly. .but i had a dream that he posted a comment here lol. . Did it get lost n the shuffle or was it a dream really?
    Anyway ya @kelani i could play while plugged in but i don't think it's good for the battery to do that it can overheat I've heard? So im trying to catch up on my phone not going well:(no matter the river will still be running long after we are gone. ..
  • Now phone battery dying:( back to Tablet! Gawddd give me a Break puleezzze/(
  • @karen68 Glad you brought your inner tube to the river. I'd love to see a BP-dominated Top 10 :) Seems like every challenge I comment on is yours, and you show up right after I make said comment. I went looking for that level a few weeks ago, couldn't find it. Was starting to think I imagined it. :)

    @fenikus rofl Did it look anything like this one?: https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5141/5611212811_5a5d87fc1e_z.jpg

    I didn't see Manu until recently. Showed up in the top 100 one day. Played 1-2 days more, then nothing. Was enough to throw @Rat into a tizzy. Yep 13 is a point mine. All those little stones add up.

    *sends @Kathy a small nuclear reactor.
  • Wahoooo !!' @Karen68 The Lean Mean Flinging Machine is On the river! !
    Watch out boys:)
  • Thanks @Kelani for the nuclear reactor lol a little drastic but eh I'll give it a try.
  • @karen68, fwiw, I personally found BR to be easier than HD (in which I see you did well), at least comparing the first two weeks. As time goes by and points accumulate, it's getting harder and harder. I think you'll do very well once you get into the rhythm…good luck!

    @Kelani, now you're starting to scare me with your stalker skills…where'd you find that pic of my Yugo?!?! Edit: I've taken the roof racks off since, better aerodynamics.
  • k, early rise tomorrow, must sleep. Good night @all.
  • Night @fenikus same here i should be going. .:/ but just one more fling lol
  • @fenikus If google images had existed in my evil hax0r days, I'd be president of a small country by now. What's really scary is just how many pics show up under 'pimped yugo' I saw mods 50x the price of the car.

    @Kathy Unless you wrap tablet in layers of foil or a snuggie while charging, I don't think it'll hurt the battery.

    I welcome @karen68 competition on the river. She'll even up the teams, too. 4 guys, 4 gal..err... 4 non-men. Whew. that was a close one.
  • Only 5k to go @Kelani. Can you do it? I see possibilities.
    @Karen68 Can you do me a favor and show these boys how it's done. I haven't flung for almost three weeks now and they're still within 10k of my score.
  • @kathy have to increase the girl-power on the River!
    @kelani you can call me a gal... I don't mind :)
    @fenikus I think you're right about BR being easier initially. I played quickly through the levels to get to level 20 to test out the self-destruction, & I was surprised at how many I got my 3 stars on my 1st attempt. But it's getting the great scores & searching for all those points that's going to be tough. You folks have set the bar really high. That's ok, I love a challenge! :D
    And I've become intimately acquainted with level 3 & still lean towards a double count of the birds. No way it's possible without help.
    @rat9 I'll do my best.. might take me a while though. Hope you get back to a comfortable flinging state soon!
    OB could I have 2 fingers of Scotch please?
  • Hi @Pa ♥ yep I'm sure @Karen68 will put the boys in there place lol..after all she is The Lean Mean Flinging Machine ' hee hee just love saying that haha..anyhoo
    @kelani question for you. . In all your research have you found you can hit the same exact spot 100 times and get 100 different Resultsv as far as damage and leftover debris?
  • OB break out the good stuff for @Karen68 you know :)
  • @karen68 okie. I was more worried about @mvnla2 coming in here and rapping my knuckles. ;) BR is definitely one of those easy to play, difficult to master episodes.

    @Rat I see possibilities too. Working on #9 tonight. Gave up on 12 for the day.

    @Kathy Any time I mention a level with 'identical results', it does just what you said, and it annoys the crap outta me. Not every level does it, but BR 2,5,12 do. When that happens, I just restart the game. It seems like after 50 or so attempts, it gets in a score groove for a long while.

    Grr. That Trident commercial where the squirrel runs up the dentist's pant leg and bites him needs to go away. See it once and even if you never look again, the sound effect is still painful.
  • Thanks @kelani #7 seems to be that way also. .I was progressing quite well then had to stop m them came back and seems as though i have to start over like I need to build up to better score it sux! Anyway ya I've seen that commercial but never really paid Attention.. sorry my keyboard is possessed again:/
  • Thanks @kathy :) Great scores you've got on the river!
    @kelani never seen that commercial. Not sure I want to from the sound of it.
    Can't wait for Whine Tuesday to get here. I'm saving one up for level 3.
  • Thanks @Karen68. But I'm beginning to get worried about the pending Space release. I expected to at least be flinging a little by now. I might have flung a total of forty-five minutes in the last three weeks and needed pain meds right after for that. Fingers crossed. But even after three weeks, they've only succeeded in bumping me to fourth. And I still saw lots of point potential. You can take em.
  • @Kathy usually it's levels with very few 'moving parts' Like on 5, a lot of stuff will always be destroyed or fall a certain way with a certain shot. Your kbd seems OK here. It's not typing redrum or anything. :D

    @karen68 no, you don't. :) If you ever hear '4 out of 5 dentists recommend trident. what happened to the 5th?' change the channel fast :) Ladies may hate it too, but for men it's just plain sadistic.

    You're in luck. Anything you can whine about in BR, we've whined about previously. I think #3 may have turned off a lot of potential competitors. Trying to get that 1 bird shot will wear a hole in your screen.
  • I left that one and came back at it later @Karen68. It's a pure luck level. Nothing to aim with.
  • #3 and #19 are best saved for days when no amount of frustration can damage your mood.
  • Leave @Yoshiki and come join me @Ma. The weathers fine up here except for three dark clouds over my head.
  • @rat9 so there's about 3 weeks til the Space update? I'll cross my fingers & my toes for ya :)
    I'm beginning to realize that 3 is one of THOSE levels, go back every day & fling a few (hundred) til it works. I got a 1-birder very early on for 94k but that was before I peeked at the walkthrough. Didn't realize what a rare thing it was.
  • @karen68 more like a miracle. My first 1 birder was 97k. Took thousands of tries. Then danno got up there with his glitched score and I cried like a baby. :)

    @Rat whenever my nerve entrapment bugged me, I'd wear a brace to immobilize my hand. It was kinda like what they use for carpal tunnel. No motion and lots of Aleve for a few days made the inflammation go away. Do you use anything like that?

    careful, buddy. Us clouds haven't rained on your parade -yet.
  • @Karen68 You have to watch it on level three. The bird sets ever so slightly different each time. It makes it difficult to aim. And for a 100k+ one birder you need to shoot as close to the top as possible. If you see sparks as you pass under, you're almost high enough.
