Actually, what really happened was I beat your score on my third attempt, and since that was the only one i beat you on so far, i gave up happy f- then I kept trying to get the Wax Off achievement. I was 81% done at the most

My little leaderboards are filled with a couple people that don't have the game. Looks like I need to add some of you guys so my scores aren't so lonely.

Just got the surfing and Wax off achievements. They are not as hard as I thought they would be, only took about 15 tries each. Now, getting the 1 million points in Waves was the hardest for me so far, as that took over 25 tries...

What I like about the achievements in this game is that they aren't related to score (except the 2 that are). They sort of build up to a second game, a different way to play other than going for leaderboard position.

GW2 is a blast! Only problem I have is that there is much going on that I can't keep tabs on all of the baddies. Definately a winner! (the game, that is)

That's because he still has a complex about the first Geo Wars - he still can't beat me there.

Feel free to add me - beesonosu - if you want to feel good about yourself. I never played the first GW and I was hoping that the high scores for Deadline were actually the totals of all the games they played....

My Geo Wars score was higher than yours the last time I checked.

That Pacifism score was high enough for the top 500 last night but I'm sure it's been beaten down by now. That is a fun gametype though.

That's 'cause you keep checking

Yeah - pacifism is a fun mode, and once you hit a groove of farming the baddies, I can see how you got that score.

I think I'm only like 100k behind you in waves. That's like 20 kills.

Yeah it's entirely possible, there are a few people ahead of me in Waves, in fact I think I'm far enough down that I don't even see Pixy's score.

This is easily the best 800 point game put out on the arcade that I've played. It took everything great from the first game and expanded it. I just wish I was a wee bit better at it...

I played the demo and was a little shocked by how quick the difficulty ramped up. I never got really good at Geometry Wars, but I still have a great time playing it so I'll definitely be grabbing 2 (even though the suckage is bound to continue) just to fool around with the new modes.

I need to add people from here to my list. Most of my friends don't play that many arcade games, so there are hardly any scores to compete against on my friends leaderboard. None of them have bought GW2. Feel free to add me, if you want.
