OT? Tim McVey going for Nibbler record
CrazyKongFan:
Possibly OT, if it is, sorry :) Anyway, thought some classic arcade fans might be interested,, Tim McVey is streaming an attempt to take back his Nibbler record (beaten earlier this year) For those that don't know the back story, Tim was the first to score a billion on an arcade game, back in Jan 1984, on Nibbler. The game took approx 44-45 hours. He's hoping to do it in about 36 hours or so. He started at 8:30am (Central) this morning, and as I type this, is at 212 million.
Here's the link for the stream:

CrazyKongFan:
An unfortunate coincidence...at least its spelled differently ;D (That loser was McVeigh)
ahofle:
Wow that's very cool.
Does he have a catheter hooked up or something? :scared
CrazyKongFan:
Nah, there's plenty of times for breaks on Nibbler. You earn a free life every 4 boards, and can't let it get above 128 (if you hit 129 or more, and lose a life, the game is over...I'm assuming it's due to an integer overflow or something, as 2^7 is 128). Of course, that's assuming you don't die frequently, which Tim doesn't ;D
