@briann Sorry to interrupt your monologue.  Re my SW II scores, I stopped playing SW II more than 10 years ago when character swaps became a requirement to getting a decent score. I admire your quest to get an above average score on every level without using swaps, though. I’m just too competitive to be happy with a low overall rank on a game. I’ve managed to get in the top 10 in AB, Seasons, Space, Star Wars, Rio, Golden Eggs, and Seasons Golden Eggs. Top 10 in SW II was never going to happen. My current project is to complete Space Mirror, and then probably go back through the levels and improve my scores to see how close to the top 10 I can get. I’m already in the top 100 so there’s hope!

Never appologise for interrupting my monologues @hallieginsb it’s a cry for help.Puzzled as to why you’ve waited 10 years to publicly delete your scores,were you fizzing away quietly all that time?

[HallieGinSB]

@briann I guess those scores were bubbling away in my brain begging to be deleted. I knew I had posted several comments, though, and I didn’t want to orphan the comments with no scores for context. But finding them all and updating them with my scores before deletion was going to be time consuming, so I just put it off. It was when I decided recently to start playing Space Mirror and post my scores on that game that I just couldn’t look at that awful SW II rank any longer. Are you sorry you asked now?

[Desperate Dan]

Hi @hallieginsb.  Hope you don’t mind but I’m having a blitz on Danger Above Classics levels where the top scores are Classics but I am short. Think there are five of them, all told. So I’m gunning for you and @realfish mainly. Just doing a @briann gaaaaaahhh because I missed a big trophy score on 7-2. Twice.

Then, because I can’t look at my awful Jurassic Pork rank any more, I will have to take a trip back there.

 

[Brian N]

Au contraire @hallieginsb I’m glad I asked and now it all makes sense.Unlike why you need 600,000 destruction points to unlock Hologram Darth Sideous reward level when he doesn’t even appear in any levels.Do seem to recall getting a batch of 5 once in the melt all those years ago wondered if you have any such recollections?

Those missing coins and the inability to add more makes quite a difference: “Rovio you suck!”Still have 1200 coins but that’s not enough to cover every eventuality so I’ll just wait and see what the melt has to offer over the next couple of weeks.Did get a rare Red Battle Droid yesterday so they do pop up from time to time.I remember one flinger(might have been @daboid) who set a timer on her phone that beeped every 8 hrs so she got 3 melts every day.Now that’s dedication!

[HallieGinSB]

@desperate-dan Seriously? Are you still stalking my Classics scores? I thought you beat them all long ago. Sounds to me like avoidance behavior to put off dealing with Jurassic Pork.

@briann Thankfully I have no recollection of Hologram Darth Sideous or waiting for the melt in SW II. Otherwise, I’m sure your message would have triggered PTSD.

[Brian N]

Well @hallieginsb I wouldn’t want you to wake up in the middle of the night screaming: “Die LCS,die!”

Don’t tell Dan but when I’ve finished amusing myself in SW II I might visit Jurassic Pork.Heh heh.

[Brian N]

Also just nailed one of those under par scores by 2k .

Ah yes OCD 1-0 part of the brain that governs good use of time.

[Brian N]

I’m on a roll, just nailed another one by a shade under 2k.

OCD 2-0 part of the brain that governs good use of time.

That just leaves one level below average but it’s a Count Duku level and extra points are tight so I may be some time.

[Brian N]

My OCD just did what the Lions couldn’t do in Australia:a 3-0 series whitewash

Well turns out me and the Count are now BFF’s beat the av score by 2pts!This calls for a reverse Ggggggaaaaaahhhhhh!!!  !!!hhhhhhhaaaaagggggG and a song https://youtu.be/P5mtclwloEQ?si=NzXmrvDfuw2x4iJ1

 

[Brian N]

Did I overdo it a bit there?

[catsnbirds]

@briann Overdo?!? You!?! 😉😂 It’s just what AB has done to us over the years!

 

[Brian N]

Well @catsnbirds I just got a Silver C-3PO in the melt.Still need another but back of the net!

Rovio very occasionally you don’t suck.

[Brian N]

Think I know why we haven’t heard from @ixan57 in a while…https://youtube.com/shorts/hTp4z-dBGWU?si=Bn7M77Vkov8MQyYS

[ixan57]

I’m still here @briann if anyone is looking for old copies of chiropractor monthly my friend has plenty of back issues.

[Brian N]

I’m not convinced it’s really you @ixan57,that joke was actually funny.

[Brian N]

Had the strangest dream last night wherein I was stung by an insect and my hand was swollen up about three times it’s normal size.(Remember those foam hands you used to see at basketball games?Bit like that).When I held my hands for comparison to show my wife she burst out laughing.

Thing is if it happened in real life she’d be exactly the same.

Anyway I know you’re all excited to hear the latest edition of Carbonite Melt news:

Darth Maul…back to normal then Rovio?I will of course keep you all informed as to my progress.Here’s what I reckon I need:-Bird side :

Luke Endor(1)

Silver C-3PO(1)

Lando(1)

Chopper(1 & 1/2)

Pork side:

Hologram Darth Sideous(5?)

Biker Scout(1)

Anyone got any Telepods?

[Desperate Dan]

These might as well be Mark E Smith lyrics for what it’s worth. None of it makes the slightest bit of sense to me.

[Brian N]

So you think a Carbonite Melt is a ham and pasta dish covered in cheese and baked in the oven?Mmmm nice.

Must admit I’m enjoying it so much I may hang around a bit longer see if I can improve on my previous best scores.

[Desperate Dan]

Oh well, I’ll fight the dinos on my own then.

Trouble is, having loaded up Ver 8.0.3, you have to play all 640 odd levels just to get to the beginning of JP. And have enough tokens to do so. Access to episodes/levels varies hugely from version to version but 8.0.3 is absolutely the worst.

[Desperate Dan]

Yes, I know I should have saved a version.

[Brian N]

Seasons was bad for that but when using older versions on my old Nox starting with the earliest version and working up I found progress was saved between successive versions .Until I downloaded a version that didn’t work then all was lost.

While on Bluestacks I have my base version that is now fully unlocked and will stay put.It’s V.7.9.1 the first with the complete JP episode and it’s never once crashed on Bluestacks and I always stay on line.The added bonus is it doesn’t have that cheat where you get an extra bird if you watch an advert.

[Brian N]

4 Kanan Jarrus.Not bad just not what I needed.For Dan that’s the Dracula looking dude who’s evil vizage makes you think he should be batting for the Pork side.

[Desperate Dan]

Get him in the Welsh Fire line-up.

[Brian N]

He’s got a sizzling cover drive.

Just occurred to me @desperate-dan Everything Everything mention dinosaurs a fair bit in their lyrics.I’m sure I could curate a list of songs for your pleasure while you’re in a rubber room trying to work out how to squeeze extra points out of those rubber trees.Just say the word.(Think I can guess what the word is.)

Gone,gone Littlefoot is gone.

Those dino children making you hysterical.
