Done and done. But I haven't been able to get Wax On yet, so I probably suck more than you.

Just bought GW2 this morning despite thinking Retro Evolved was just an ok game. Haven't gotten a chance to get that into it, but luckily i don't have most of you on my friends list to compare to

Well, except Pixy. Damn it.

Yeah, I couldn't let that sit for the night so I had to take care of that

Screw this high score stuff, the real battles are here at the bottom of the heap!

Just went through and added a bunch of you folks for leaderboard motivation. I just grabbed the game, and I'm already in love with pacifism mode.

I took a day off from the leaderboards because my six-year-old wanted to play. She likes the game a lot. We started out by splitting the pilot/gunner duties. Turns out the pilot is much more important in order to pull off a higher score.

Apparently, Pixy is no longer content to kick our asses at Geometry Wars. Now he has to kick our asses while also playing Project Gotham Racing.

Yeah but it plays differently than the waves mode in Evolved2. I'm still beating Pixy in Pacifism.

I just got 101million in pacifism, and while it started to get tough, it wasn't insanely difficult. So I can imagine that the highschool for this mode could get into the mid billions by those GeoWars savants.

Still, I'm pumped. The multiplier just starts to get ridiculous in this mode.

Probably. Nothing a round of friends list survivor won't cure; try again in a couple hours since I don't see your tag here.

I just got GW2 tonight. I'm ading a bunch of people from this thread since I never did before, for some stupid reason. I'm not good at all, but am enjoying myself.

I didn't make the cut.

Spoiler:
No hard feelings. I hardly ever play multiplayer these days.

I was having an awesome round after being stuck in the 70-80 million range for about an hour and I thought to myself "damn I'm doing pretty good, I wonder what my score is" so I look up and BAM!! I run into a fucking gate It could have been higher.

That's what you get for looking at the score.

Heh, that's what happened to me on my best run.

I keep trying different techniques, but I always get too greedy and start chasing the geoms (or whatever they're called). At a certain point it doesn't even seem advantageous to chase the multipliers, and instead to just worry about dodging the enemies and going through gates. Yet, I can't say no to those geoms.
