*gasp*

Friday the 2nd Twin Galaxies Video Game Festival comes to the Mall of America. Sega of America is bringing Crazy Taxi 3! :eek:

I'll get to play all the l33t minigames and there is $1,000 to be split between the winners (me, and of course, me again).

5 days to Crazy Taxi 3 final! :banana: OMG... *faints*

$1000??!?!?!?! My advice : Play the hell out of Crazy Taxi 2 from right now until you leave to go to the Twin Galaxies Video Game Festival. Then, bring some of your friends with you (make sure they aren't that great at games). Then, hog the machines, which will ensure your victory!!!!

Good luck, and kick some a$$!

I have played the hell out of CT2. At the first video game festival last summer I held 2 world records in the game.

I wonder if I'll be able to smooth talk my way into bringing home a copy of CT3 ;)

World records? In videogames? How do they determine those? Is there a yearly book or something?

Long story, buy Twin Galaxies record book (outdated now, 2nd book late) if you want to read it. They, over the years, have become the official record holders. All the record submissions they get have to be verified. Sending pics doesn't work, actually gotta videotape you playing from the before you boot to when you turn off your system to prove no one used a gameshark or entered a code mid-game.

I participated in the CT2 and 18 Wheeler contests last summer. Also sent in 1 CT thing, Monkey Bowling, and a RE run. Prolly gonna do the CT3 and Monkey Ball contests this summer.

You can search the site for records, but they haven't entered a lot of the newer ones. CT2 still isn't on there.

Twin Galaxies was more popular back with the classic arcade games, before we had to deal with all the cheating and stuff. Like most of the refs are record holders in classic games. Robert Mruczek set the Star Wars record, after playing for 49 hours straight, he then killed himself. Billy Mitchell was the first person to ever achieve a perfect game of Pac Man. I forgot to mention the festival has classic arcade games on free play. w00t!

EDIT: This is always a fun video to watch also: http://www.twingalaxies.com/images/archive/video/drew-cauthen-dc-thps-1.mov

In that case play the hell out of "Pong".

Yeh! Test ur reflexes, plan ur strategies, and you'll be trained for the big day.

When you need to practice at an unreleased game for a competition, you can't go wrong with pong.

Crazy Taxi rocked... especially CT2.

But I couldn't pass S-S!! Too damn hard.

Your a lucky b!tch!! We won't see CT3 here in Europe for like another 4-5 months!! ARGGGHHH!!
