The thing with me and my times is that I'm not what you would call a natural "gamer". I don't have that reaction speed or quick thinking skills (heightened intelligence?) that say Bryan and Wouter have. I still suck muchly at a lot of levels, so my skills are going to have to be learned. Regardless, I don't think I've set my goals too high for myself as of yet (points on each level) because I know I can do it for myself. Once I achieve that, I'll then go higher and go for 60+ points/each. THAT'S going to be like you, Bryan, starting out on the Elite going for times. Remember how far you had to go? The only difference with me though is that I'm not eventually going to become dual champ.
Or any champ for that matter.
Runway 39 wasn't a fluke, I KNOW where to shoot with the tank and I know how to get the key fast.
This is the same thing with my Depot and Cradle records (ESPECIALLY Cradle - This explains the 19 hours). Some piece of information about what to do in the level and how to do it usually hits me as I make mistakes or do something wrong, and then I try that out on the next run. I like to call this learning.
Not to mention holding the controller keyboard-style (as YE put it) and using 1.2 SOMETIMES helps, if I don't slip off the buttons.
And Bryan, you're right about Control. I did an attempt with cheats on (mostly some gun cheats and infinite ammo, cuz invincibility would be cheating.
), and still tied my PR of 4:31 (Agent). I was amazed at that not only because I tied it right on somehow, but that that run was BAD. Not horrible bad, but bad. A bunch of stucks, guards that wouldn't die when I left Nat and one missed mine throw (far PC in the room). Not to mention I almost died going through the glass.
Like I said, hours of practise. Not on the record here but I think I got a bit of Wouter's determination on me.
So stop cumming on my face, Wouter.
