in Donkey Kong when you get to where the Elevator levels start to get difficult get to the top level where the jumpy things are bouncing over your head.  once the clock hits about 5700 go for it.  this doesn't work all the time, but sometimes it does and it's the best way I've found to get further.

A good way to practice it is get to one of those harder levels, then turn on infinate lives in the cheats.  of course, never end the game before getting out of it..thus ensuring that this cheat doesn't affect your high score.  ;)

There is a level in DK that has elevators? WOW! I just assumed that you were supposed to die on the first level. ;D

Yeah, when you stand around that burning barrel drinking Mad Dog out of a paper bag telling incoherent stories!  I thought I was the only person who never got that game!

I never in my life saw the elevator level in DK until MAME and I pumped 100 "quarters" into the game to finally learn to get that far. Now I can get there but can't pass it. I suppose I could cheat, but I'd rather spend my life swearing at the game and trying trying trying to figure it out. That way when I am 82 years old and playing DK on my virtual reality headset goggles and I finally clear the level I will die from an excitement-induced heart attack. Good times!

Eric.

Oh, and when you see some guy posting HIS 53rd post, you'll be able to tell him how you reached 5,000....and then you'll remember this post and you'll curse the day you started posting in EE.  Then you'll try to sucker someone else in so you aren't the only one.  Welcome, sucker ;) ;D

They posted 5987 times in EE, before Saint turned off the posts count in EE. The other 13 posts were in those other forums :o

Even if it takes you 10 seconds create a post (including thinking and typing time), if you have 6,000 posts that comes out to well over 16 hours of non-stop posting time. Since each post more likely takes 30 seconds to a minute, it's actually more like nearly 100 hours. Wow. Such dedication!

You also have to factor in if you are drunk, and if you have attended the 'Seph school of posting.'
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

In reality this statement is quite depressing. I suppose that I should look at the bright side though, I could be posting in a forum about knitting :-\

Think about it though.  You wouldn't have to hide your purse with your Midol and Tampax anymore, and you wouldn't have to bite your tongue whenever someone says "Cookin' and cleanin'?  That thar's wimmins werk!"
