What kind of business do you work at? It would be cool if my place had some games.

I'm in software development, so having an arcade machine in the kitchen for that quick 15 min break from sitting at your desk for hours on end is just great!
It really helps for that 3pm eyelid struggle..."zzzzzz, must, save family...shoot generators....zzzzz"

I'll get on a roll, and then I lose a guy. and then I always seem to lose 3 or 4 in a row after that. I'm glad we're having this little competition, I am starting to more consistently score better. Last night I played a few games, and got 400K. Hopefully I can get really going by the deadline and see if I can at least score in the top three...

I'm not playing it too much because I'll burn out. Happens on anything. I just plateau and sometimes it's weeks or even months before I can rise up again.

Even when I think about it at the beginning of the wave it seems like this is the case for me regardless. I'd like to see someone clear it like smiley talks of above.
....yeah, I just tried this a few times. One time there was a delay before they started firing, and then they didn't fire as much, but it wasn't not at all.

Are you picking up Mikey? That'll make the brains choose another target for sure.
Sometimes the brains do randomly go after a single Mommy, the key there is to try to recognize what direction they're all going towards, and try to "defend" all the Mommies in that area. But for the most part, they go after the Mikey's first. Just try to shoot all the Brains before they get to him, without picking him up!
