    Re: New personal best.

    Yesterday I was setting times on tracks that I played when I didn't have a perma-connection to Live. So I wanted to get platinum again for Unfair Bombardment, remembering very clearly that it was 36.5s. Now, I still have no idea how you fellas ride over the barrels at top speed I kept trying and trying to beat 36.5. I got pissed off, took a break for like 5 min, went back and did it in like 5-10 more attempts with a nifty time of Just under 35.5 - personal best!

    I´ve been playing Inferno II, Greatest Hits and Diabolic lately. Did those some time ago so I thought I´m better now.
    Improved Greatest Hits and Diabolic pretty well in a short time (Greatest Hits: -13,5sec...) - but both runs are still crap.
    Can´t do the Diabolic tire shortcut AND finish the track without crashing either, so I still have to work on this one, too.

    New personal bests on all three but not one of those is satisfying...

    Step 1: Have your momentum built up prior.

    Step 2: Glide across barrels in a consistent posture smoothly without or barely touching the gas.

    Step 3: Be on a perfect run

    Step 4: Hit the drop down

    Step 5: Allow a random plank to come crashing down into a barrel next to you

    Step 6: Rage quit

    Step 7: Complain on the forums about how random 95% of physics objects are

    Step 8: Be called a noob that has no idea what he's talking about for stating the truth

    Step 9: Rinse and repeat steps 1-8 until you pull it off

    Step 10: Pull it off

    Step 11: Phantom Replay

    Step 12: Be called a cheater and a loser for "hacking" trials

    Step 13: Quit Trials

    Step 14: Change your name to a japanese wanna-be name and start crying

    Re: New personal best.

    Yeah there's a bit of randomness in some of the physics sometimes! But 95%? WHATEVER N00B

    Mainly I've been playing the extremes for consistency and comfort, slowly preparing for no-fault runs on Midnight Club and Nervous Breakdown. Definitely taking my time though! Seems to be a good approach for building consistency. I figure it's also a decent interim step before going for better times on those tracks, since one of the things I hate the most about making speed run attempts is how it turns into grinding when you don't really have all the little steps down yet. I'll get that one amazing run but make one big mistake, then spend the next hour in vain trying to reproduce it. ugh

    I've come really close a couple times to breaking into the < 1 minute club on Going Up recently, but that's about it for new times for me.
