On the bright side, I've only got 2 more weeks of idle time before I have to prep for my first accounting final and a new baby comes. That should give you guys a few months to get good at the arcade again. :)

I'm not sure that is enough time for my son to age about 5 years to be similar to a Korean child video game star. I let him play the arcade and he tells me how he's beating high scores but it's his own high scores. Yes, I'm cheating but it does me no good. I don't think you're Tetris score will ever fall. Reminds me of the old arcade where we beat each other until finally you scored freakishly high that we never got close to it again.

Also, I seem to be stealing my own trophies. When I play a game I'm the champion on and don't beat my high score, they take away my trophy. :D

Sounds like someone missed putting in a little bit of code or there is a bug in there somewhere. I don't remember losing the trophy to Tetris for replaying it but I wasn't paying attention to the trophies at the time either.
It's also good timing on getting back to your studies. I bought a special Skyrim bundle that comes with most the DLC and all expansions. What a helluva time sink that game is. I was never captured by the whole Elderscrolls series since there was always one thing in each game that bugged me enough to stop playing them. I think they made Skyrim just right and I'm enthralled by all the quests which are almost all written very well too.

I also broke down and bought a copy of Minecraft for my son. He has been wanting it for a year now since many of his friends play. Elmira played around with it and found it fun. I gave it a try and last night I discovered a few wasted hours after I started mining a hill, built a tower on the top and started laying out the beginning of a castle all in survival mode.

Tossing my free time away one quest and block at a time.

But it's cool. I'm mostly setting new high scores for all those games just to get my trophies back.

f*ck.. (by the way, my secondary job is eating prostate cancer out of patients) YEAH! CURVEBALL CHAMP AGAIN!

But seriously, I cannot score a single win against the level 8 opponent. The best I can hope for is a long match with lots of curves and supercurves to rack up points.

And once again, all is right in the world. But now I don't dare play the arcade for fear of losing to myself.
