So, when I was in highschool (circa 1996-ish) I couldn't sleep one night. Decided to walk down to the 7-11. There were a few pinball games in there that I played before, but never really took it seriously. Popped in the quarter and got my ass handed to me. Decided, fuck it, I have nothing better to do at midnight in North Dakota. Popped in another quarter. Ended up hitting the multiplier in the top left corner. This machine was so worn out that I kept pushing the pinball into the multiplier slot. It got stuck and just bounced around there for a while. I eventually lost the ball, but now I knew the secret. Put the ball in the upper left corner. Every game after that I would aim for the upper left corner and it would just stick up there earning points. I eventually got bored at like 2 am and left the machine with like 65 free games from all the points I gathered. Fun as hell.

Level 87 in Diablo II
The speedrun world record for Drop Wizard Tower.
Your world record sounds arguably funner than mine.
My run was very luck dependent, i run the game for fun at times (mobile game, each attempt takes like 15 minutes) and still havent managed to beat my time 2 years later.
Since the game got delisted from Google Play for some reason this year, I'm likely not seeing competition on it for a long time.
Tony hawk 3 I played online a bit and could slap out million plus tricks. I could do one trick and AFK the rest of the match and win.
Just Rodney Mullen things
I always think of THPS3 as a PS1 game, didnβt even know it had online MP
I routinely get scores so high that they stop be from carrying on
I play a lot of golf games
I once got 29 in cribbage, then it was mostly 19s the rest of the game.

Holy shit . But like how??
Lot's of games. Still aiming for that last two to be a four.
Edit: The general strategy is to always have your largest number in a corner and then snake alle other numbers towards that like you see in the screenshot. With small numbers you have a bit of leeway. But as soon as you hit 4096 the largest number has to stay in a corner.
Okay that's rad. I have never got past 2046
My current record for beating the original Pikmin game is 7 days, which is very close to the fastest it can be beaten, which is 6 days.
You at least slept, right?

I broke 1500 in Star Fox 64 once and I've never been able to do it since.
When Wolf said he can't let you do that, I guess he meant it.

Once killed 224 in a game of Halo
I've tried those games a few times, could barely kill two. I'd make a terrible soldier.
Why was at first. Just hang in there and you'll be killing aliens in the three digits.
Personally I never pay attention to the score.
672k playing Zombies Ate My Neighbors on SNES
However many paperclips are the max in Universal Paperclips. Some ridiculous number like βundecillionβ but probably a few factors of 10 higher.
111 in Flappy Bird
I have flipped Asteroids!
okay one trick is to use the mode where pulling back on the joystick flips your ship 180Β° and never moving, just stay in the middle and flip and rotate!
nasa should know what to do with this information
