You Shall Not Pass!

by

As of the time I started writing this sentence, the First Official Tilt to Live Tournament is full. Beyond full, actually, but I threw as many of you as I had in our inbox into the mix. All friend requests have been sent out through Game Center, so just accept yours and get practicing (your free soundtracks are on the way). On Saturday, August 27th, unleash hell!

When this clock says it’s 10PM on Tournament Day, I’m taking a screenshot of the best scores THAT DAY (not this week) and someone will officially be crowned the “Best Tilt to Live Player on Earth*”. You’ll have your work cut out for you against fierce competitors like “Toilet-Paper”. It won’t be the floor he’ll be wiping with you.

    Woooooooooooo, I’m in! I’m gonna practise for at least two/three hours every day.

    Can you confirm what time the tournament opens, with a GMT offset? Is it 00:00, GMT-5, or something else?

  2. Isaac says:

    Oh, and will we get a list of all the scores, or just the top five?

  3. Isaac says:

    And lastly, I don’t want to think about what you guys do with your toilet paper, but I’m pretty sure I wipe not-the-floor with mine.

  4. Adam says:

    Believe it’s GMT -4:00. Game Center MIGHT be counting scores as early as 10pm EST on the 26th (from testing it, I think it looks at the last 24 hrs, not the date).

    All I’m saying is: winners are my Top 5 Friends for Today on August 27th at 10PM EST.

    HOLY CRAP I HATE THIS GAME SOMETIMES!!!

    I was dutifully practising for the tournament when I got WAY too far into it and beat my highscore by over six million. I scored 15,852,022 (worldwide 11th-best today), and got “1337 H4XoRZ 1337”, “Serpentine”, “Superhuman Pinball”, and a truckload more. WHY couldn’t I have saved it for Saturday?!?

    @Adam ah yes, we have daylight saving over here too. I’m going to go burrowing around, see if I can figure out how GameCenter works. If I can start at 03:00 in the morning, I might well do it.

    I WANT THAT T-SHIRT!

    Oh damn, I forget to look at the website for a day and now I missed the entering.:'( Oh well I guess I’m not good enough to win anyways.

  7. Isaac says:

    Aw that sucks Solan. Next time maybe.

    I have a humble proposition: us fans track each other’s scores right here on the day. Just comment on the latest blog post with each new highscore.

    Alternatively, we could get a list of the competitors, and just use the GameCenter lists.

  8. Isaac says:

    Solan what’s your CR highscore?

  9. mejjos says:

    What’s everyone’s game center, we can compare scores, I have a low 5xx,xxx+ ๐Ÿ™ mine is mejjos

  10. Solan says:

    umm 9,664,614.

  11. Richy says:

    Too bad… I’ve got a 3G… so no Game Center :/

  12. Isaac says:

    @mejjos I second that!

    I’m izakthegoomba, anyone feel free to add me.

  13. mejjos says:

    Got you @issac, best of luck.

  14. brayton says:

    my high score(last week) is 25.7 million(i thought my friends sucked but wow, 15 million is 11th, i am good), and o i am so disappointed.i need the caffein blast mug, r entry limit going to expand.(what about play off for the finals:) )

  15. Noobiefier says:

    Adam, i’m so sad you actually bothered to send out the email to subscribers of the mailing list even though there were no more vacancies for the tournament!

  16. Isaac says:

    @brayton you could win this thing. What’s your username?

    @Noobiefier I signed up after I got the email and I got in.

  17. mejjos says:

    exactly what @Issac said, I got the email, then I signed up and got in.

  18. brayton says:

    is that guy with 1000000000(a thousand million) a bug

  19. Avenged110 says:

    @brayton yes

    GameCenter: Avenged110

    I have like 8.6m or something like that ๐Ÿ™ Dammit guys-Eastern Time!-that just messed up my schedule. Anyway looking forward to getting this going ๐Ÿ™‚ Could anyone familiar with the situation possibly tell me what time GameCeter will start collecting fail scores for the 27 in PST? Thanks!

  20. Isaac says:

    Whoa, another new highscore – 18,626,665 this time, something like 7th of the day. I’m going to be so geared up for saturday.

  21. mejjos says:

    nice ^

  22. Avenged110 says:

    I’m screwed ^

  23. brayton says:

    24.5 million 2 days ago but i missed out on getting in, i guess i was too late

  24. Isaac says:

    That sucks, brayton.

    In other news, I totally failed in my morning training today, barely topping 5M.

    And again, is it our choice whether we use the turret or not? I’m guessing there’s no way you can police it?

  25. Noobiefier says:

    Hehe, i got in too ๐Ÿ˜€

    and i just got a 40million score offline =.= i hatemyself!

  26. Isaac says:

    @Noob won’t it upload when you get online?

  27. Adam says:

    @Isaac: the Perforator is optional.

  28. Alex says:

    Disappointing that I have a Touch First Gen…do you mind if I try playing and send in my score anyways? I know I won’t win but it’ll get me back into the game since I don’t have much to do left with the game.

  29. Sarion says:

    I got the OST yesterday. Thank you OML.

  30. izakthegoomba says:

    @Adam oh good. I love ยกV la T!, but the perforator just seems like an interruption in Code Red.

    P.s. Name change

  31. QuantumApocalypse says:

    Woo!! Off topic but I just got 13.2 mill in Viva la turret!! I m very proud of myself. ๐Ÿ™‚ Number 66 in world.

    But the perforated seems much more effective in SD than in HD. Is it because of the amount of dots? Or is the HD turret just worse for some reason?

  32. Me says:

    All of your scores seem loads higher than mine. Do you use the turret or not.

  33. izakthegoomba says:

    I don’t. What’s your username?

  34. mejjos says:

    I haven’t even unlocked the perforator ๐Ÿ™

  35. Imhungry4eva says:

    I was doing the 40 hour famine when all this ‘best player’ stuff was announced, and I was giving up electrical entertainment devices, so the internet was out of reach. It was either fighting hunger in East Timor or discarding ‘the famine’ and Tilt to Living’. I chose East Timor, however, fasting from Tilt to Live was the hardest challenge in the existence of challenges, so, for 40 hours, I cried in my bedroom.

    My Game centre username is Imhungry4eva.

  36. cookienut says:

    Im in the comp and I got 180 million the other day

    Yeah that’s right.

    gamertag – cookienut

  37. cookienut says:

    Hmmm…one day out from the comp. I only got 85 million today ๐Ÿ˜‰

    It’s kind of crazy thinking to myself that if I don’t get more than 50 million per game, its not good enough. To get to 180 million that was close to a 6000x combo! My hands were shaking! After a while you almost go Zen like and not even see the red dots anymore. Intact I’d almost say that I try to get them to follow me as much as possible so te combo keeps going. Also, turret is not your friend fr high score in code red. Infact play the whole game quite slow…always let there be heaps of red dots all the time. A good way to practice is with Frostbite. Those avoid the red dots there and you can easily avoid them in code red.
