The videos can speak for themselves. Make sure you watch at full screen and at least 480p for best results!

(Also I know this is slanted in my favor, but this is all everybody nominated....)

Also I know this is slanted in my favor
But that's only because you're that damn good. Don't look at it like you have an unfair advantage or anything, you earned it. ;)

[joz]

I second that.

[CatalystiCam]

this poll's result so far makes me laugh, I wouldn't be surprised to see it completely be one sided with a score like speed coin lol.

I second what DB said Hawk. That Speed Coin run was epic of the highest order. If you take the nod, as I think you will, you totally deserve it.

No doubt about it SH. The Speed Coin score will go down in history as amazing skill and mental determination in the face of adversity.

Not only was the score far and above anyone else here, but it kept your team in that competition when I think most would have counted you out at that point. I had no choice but to bow to your superior skill in that game. :worship:

Not to mention that it made me drop one heck of a F-Bomb when I checked the score moments before the round ended.

[Winnebagel]

It also proves that no game should ever be disqualified because it may not be everyone's favorite. Epic things can be done when one is put to the test.

[Wolf]

I would have picked speed coin but I dont count that as a game it is more like high school project lol

[CatalystiCam]

I think it's safe to say if any of us saw a speed coin machine (if they even exist), then we'd all go office space on it ;)

You know Seahawk almost died that night WB...

But what epic heights he reached Essie! Not that anyone should harm themselves playing anything, but you have to admit Hawk pushed that game to new levels. :)

Why are so many people rating this down? I already rated him back up once so that means at least four people decided that his post was bad or offensive? If I'm missing something please clue me in, it looks pretty normal to me.

Good question, ranked up to -2.

[Wolf]

lol people dont like me bashing speed coin

[joz]

feel so good that I rated everyone up!

[Seahawk]

Thanks to all who gave compliments.

But seriously, don't bash wolfman for hating the game, it IS only a prototype after all.

Aside from that I hope everyone else is watching the other clips too? Don't make my weeks long encoding effort go to waste now 8).

I voted for Agnostic's Kung Fu. Maybe I'm biased because I'm the one who judging the back-and-forth between him and Josephjo, but that is some crazy playing there. One full hour of intense concentration and score-milking. Having played some long shooting games I know how how exhausting that effort is. Great playing!

[CatalystiCam]

I didn't understand why either but I guess people just figure that you don't mess with speed coin lol.

[joz]

speed coin was insane

[Winnebagel]

Poll closed. The winner of the Most Impressive Score of 2010 is Seahawk.

Seahawk set an amazing score in Speed Coin (a very difficult and unconventional game), and he not only won the round of the team contest going on, but he also nearly matched the all time world record in this game. Way to go Hawk!!! :victory:

[Gamenguru]

Great job Seahawk! I tried Speed Coin a little bit myeslf, and the game is maddeningly tedious. Major props to all the players who scored well in that game, but especially to you for setting the score that you did. :D

[Seahawk]

It's not that bad of a game to be honest.

It's only when you have seemingly no hope of winning, and you must play over and over and over and over again to even give yourself a chance to keep going that it gets old. That could happen to any game.

[elrod21]

Seahawk I've said it before and I will say it again. Simply amazing score in Speed Coin especially considered the pressure at the time you achieved it. Well deserved.

[CatalystiCam]

True, but it also depends on the game and whether or not you enjoy it that let's you put in more effort than one that frustrates you ;)

Congrats though Hawk, truly awesome score.

[CrispyChicken]

I'm glad my FPS wasn't working when playing Speed Coin round XD You definitely deserved this one Seahawk :D

[RU Joe]

Seahawk, congratulations on your win! - this is certainly no easy feat, given the skill level of your competitors.
I knew you were a great gamer, as I watched the high score lists increasingly displaying your name beside them since you joined RU.
Well done!
