Response to Wrong average scores?

from Brian McLean (bmclean84@hotmail.com)
I agree with you partially on this one, Hisa. I gave it a lot of thought for myself when I was going through my old recordings. But I decided that my own scores were relatively meaningless compared to the top scores on MARP in some games. I can get a few million in Galaga, but who cares? Steve Krogman has much better scores on the game and if someone needed to learn something about the game, they'd do better watching him than my own recording. So I threw it out.

I'm proud of my accomplishments in that particular game, make no mistake. It's no world record, but I know that I can play the game with some measure of skill and I can duplicate the score if I had to. I just know when to bow to the masters. :)

All that might sound worthless from someone who groomed his own recordings to keep a relatively high average, but I use MARP to show off on the games I can play well and not as a repository for ~everything~ I've ever done. My hard drive works well enough for that. Take it easy on some of us, Hisa. We can't all put our lives into this sort of thing. And remember, all clear no miss. 100% does not hurt your average. Very simple solution. ;)

Cheers, Brian McLean
