Normally, I am not into arcade type games. Especially not first person shooters. But a month before hurricane Ike I tried my hand at "13 Days in Hell". I quickly got hooked.

 

Yesterday evening, stayed late at work until everyone had left, and I cranked up 13DH for the first time since the hurricane. On my third try, I broke the record: 49,000 and pocket change!

 

I entered my score and waited... and waited... and got a message that there was some error and my score was not saved.

 

AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've had the time-out problem too. :angryfire: it happened to me all three times in the golf tourney.

 

 

it wouldn't have mattered much since i my worst (best) golf score was a '50' and my worst (best) was a '32' which would have disqualified me anyway since the game picks up the high score.

 

the next time i get a good golf score, i'll take a screen shot as proof! :hyper:

I just thumped the high score in space invaders, and as the inner geek in me proudly pressed submit score I waited anxiously to see my name as the new Space invaders highest score, only to get:

 

This score was not submitted from the game. Your score will not be saved.

 

Or in other words.. 'You are an idiot, ahaha'.

 

Because I was inactive for over ten minutes my name/account whatever, was disconnected from the forum. It happens on another forum I frequent too, and I'm really getting cheesed off with it. Anybody know why its happening and how I can stop it? (other than being constantly active and refreshing the page every two minutes..)

I am sorry for these problems. The arcade is a third-party script which I have very little control over. I'll upload some new games soon, though!
i apologize if i appeared to be complaining about the games–i wasn't. while i am a bit competitive in my day to day life, i mostly use the arcade to wind down from the work day. i'm not so much concerned about the numbers as i am about relieving aggravation, but i am pleased :) to know that new arcade games are on the way!

i tried that once (with the zombie game) but it didn't work for me. i had an active (second) tab that i refreshed every few minutes or so, but it didn't seem to work out since my score didn't get picked up anyway. :mickmouse:

I suspect that any game that takes over 15 minutes will time out.

 

I will try to set the limit to 30 minutes. Let me know if that helps. Do any games require more than that???

Just "part of the game", hunh?

 

You just wait, 'enry 'iggins, you just wait. :singer:

 

Hopefully, the 30-min timeout will prevent the seizures. Thanks.

And every zombie's face will look like you. :hihi:

Well it's Rants AND Raves so thank you, iViolet. :D We aim to please. :hihi:

well, i am pleased to report that i've just wasted about two hours (+/-) in the arcade. :singer: i believe that a long day at the office justifies a long time in the arcade, right?

 

fwiw, i fully expect my first place titles to be ripped from my possession by no later than tomorrow afternoon. :hihi:

Just got word that the downed telephone poles near my house will be replaced by Friday evening, so I will be back online AT HOME playing 13DH Saturday morning! Watch out! :turtle:

Okay, it wasn't last Friday. :hihi: But I saw what looked like a linesman truck stopped at the side of the road, right where the phone lines are down, this morning as I drove to work. Keeping my pinkies crossed.

 

Tormod, ol' buddy ol' pal, the 30-minute timeout seems to work with 13DH. I now have the highest score. So NOW, you will HAVE to take me seriously--get my drift? :hihi:

 

While winning the top score in 13DH, I noticed that all the zombies looked just like questor. That's odd. Why do you suppose, hunh? :doh:

 

I'm number one! I'm number one! :evil:
