    Oh good, maybe when the third song comes out, I can get something better than Bottom-Of-The-Board.
    Oh, and randomly bullshitting around today, I got Olympian. Go me?

    This sounds excellent. If no one objects, I'll try my hand at this (my AS name is retcon).

    You'd be amazed at how fast you improve at this game. Where before I could barely scrape by in Mono, I'm now fairly competent at Ninja Mono. Just enjoy the ride. :D

    By all means join in the fun! Anyone can compete; the more the merrier! :)

    I'm gonna pass my song choice this time around - I'm currently rebuilding the contents of my hard drive after my old one failed, and currently have none of my music whatsoever.

    EDIT: and daaaamn, Fish. I put in an elite run, felt pretty good about it, and then saw your score and gave up. Next time!

    Best of luck recovering your hard drive contents. I know exactly how frustrating that can be.

    Well, this makes our new song chooser is...

    Fish! Congratulations my good man, now choose us a song!

    Thanks, guys. I'm gonna steal a song from someone one page one:
    Machinae Supremacy - Hero
    You can get it here. Have fun ;)

    ed: I just saw - when retagging the song, remove the [ReMaster] at the end so we all use the same name.

    Awesome, thanks man! I'll update the OP right away. :D

    Edit: For those of you wanting a harder song, your wish has been granted. This song makes a great track, but it's no "Still Alive" let me tell you.

    Good pick for a song. I've only played it on Casual & Pro so far...single run on Pro and a few in Casual.

    There are more points out there to be had in Casual, I just know it. :P

    Damn you Kelor! I'm going to have to find some way of stringing together a Match 21 if I've any hope of topping the Casual scoreboard. There's one place I have in mind though...

    sweet, someone picked Hero, going to play that now. Really, Machinae is a pretty awesome band in my opinion, makes for some nice audiosurf rides, too.

    What's the casual scoreboard looking like right now?

    I had a couple of great opportunities to score big last night, but I slipped up towards the end on both and missed the clean finish bonus.

    Cool thing about "Hero".

    In the game Jets 'n' Guns, "Hero" is the track playing on a level that's set at a rock concert for Machinae Supremacy.

    They did all the music for JnG, it's pretty awesome.

    In the OP there should be links to the various scoreboards. You're currently in the lead by about 20000 points, then Kelor, then me. Your Pointman score is damn impressive.

    Thanks :P

    I'm not done yet though. There's more out there to be had, I had something like three overfills on that run.

    Getting the 21 is critical. I've managed it a couple of times, but my timing isn't as good as it needs to be to pull it off every time.

    Also, double vision was really fun on this one, if somewhat lower scoring.

    That went marginally better than I expected, which really does not say much. Also, I think I'll have to turn off horizontal scrolling on my touchpad. :D

    This may be old news to the true experts of Audiosurfing, but it really seems like the best character choice is different for each song.

    I think Pointman is right for this one...and I was playing one last night where at first it seemed like Mono was the clear winner over Pointman, but then I tried Double Vision and destroyed them both.

    It depends. Mono I sort of enjoy for the challenge, since you're actively trying to dodge greys while working up your blocks. It feels sort of like that old PC game Skyroads.

    I prefer Vegas or Double Vision for playing in the standard non-Mono modes.

    For me there's nothing more satisfying than a good run in Double Vision. Having to control two ships at once requires more concentration and coordination that I'm used to, so when I pull it off it's just an awesome experience. :P

    Crap. Guess who just set a new elite highscore but had Ironmode left on?

    Yeah. Seems like I have forfeit my right to an elite score, there's no way I'm gonna beat that one in normal...

    I don't actually like any other modes except mono because they turn the game into more of a tetrisy thing. But I'm ok with never winning also :)

    Mono is pretty much a completely different game altogether, I love mono but I haven't been able to get that impossible ninjutsu achievement.

    I managed to pick it up on mono casual the other night. It's trickier than you'd think at first glance, because the way some of the blocks are spread out it makes it really tough to get to 'em in time.

    Well, it's been another fun bout of racing, but it's time to declare the winners!

    Casual: citizen059

    Pro: f-k-t

    Elite: Fearghaill

    Don't worry folks, Fearghaill is the winner in Elite because Fish accidentally switched on Ironmode. Unfortunate, but he'll just have to reclaim his crown in the next song!

    That being said, the chooser of the next song is...

    Fearghaill! Congratulations!

    I'll give Fearghaill 24 hours from this announcement. If he wants to pass on choosing a song, I'll select a new chooser.

    Careful now. My heart is full of Gothenburg metal. :D

    Let's stick with Machinae Supremacy, since it went over so well. Second album, first track. When I was a kid, one of my favorite games on the C64 was the Great Gianna Sisters, and this song is a nice tribute.



    also I can't find any free In Flames downloads
