Hey guys, how’s it goin?

I actually needed some extra time this weekend to put this together. I had some thoughts to organize.

For whatever reason, my arms feel sore in awkward places. Am I not getting enough exercise? Did the special session of Beyblade VForce: Ultimate Blader Jam mess them up? Oh yeah, by the way, I broke up the Tetris Attack broadcast routine with a one-off special session of Beyblade VForce: Ultimate Blader Jam individual level speedruns. It was another one of those games I would play on my downtime before bed (explains so much) and just play it until I was exhausted because time trials are kinda fun for me. I also guess I'm just obligated to play all of the Beyblade games now. After completing everything the game has to offer, I looked at the speedrun.com leaderboard for shiggles to compare my times to the records and, lo and behold, I had actually beaten a few! It was then I committed myself to recording some individual level runs to put those best times on video. On Saturday, I found some time to record some Episode 1 levels. Check out that four-hour Twitch VOD for how that went or wait until next week for a 30 minute highlight reel of my entire experience. I will revisit this in a couple of months once I am done with everything pertaining to the Tetris Attack tournament.

Speaking of, the tournament has reached its apex now that we have made it to the bracket stage! I'm not gonna be able to get away with so little practice anymore, especially with Tayman as my first opponent. Foxy and forky are rematching, too. What a first round. What a bracket. And what's a good bracket without PREDICTIONS! It's not quite March, but there will be madness! Go to the Challonge page (find it @PuzzleGeneral) and fill out a bracket. If you get the most points for the best predictions of who wins each match, you can get a gift sub to the Puzzle General Twitch channel! Honestly, I don't like my chances, mostly because I can't commit to getting enough sleep. I'll see if I can get in enough practice, though.

That’s my life story for the week. Until next time, everyone, thanks for reading!
