Unreal Tournament Edition

Hey guys, how’s it goin?

No, I’m not talking about Unreal Tournament. I hardly have any interest in any games made in the Unreal engine. I’m talking about the Pokemon Puzzle Challenge speedrun tournament that just concluded last week. It was an unreal experience to be in the middle of it all and put it all together at the same time. It was rough going for quite some time to figure out how it all was going to get done and broadcast for everyone’s enjoyment, but by most accounts, it turned out fine. As a bonus, the redemption story actually got finished and I won the whole thing against all odds. My race record against Yoschimidtsu throughout the tournament was 1-6. But somehow, some way, I proceeded to go 4-1 over my next 5 races to take home the title. Maybe I really am the most consistent Puzzle League player in the entire world. Huh. In any case, I am all PPC’d out for the time being. I’ve spent many months this year trying to get good at the game. I need a break from it.

I’m still not prepared to start releasing the tournament videos yet. I keep getting distracted by real life and other forms of entertainment. There was a game I was particularly distracted with that I think I will try to work out of my system this week. There might be a remotely achievable speed record in it for me, as well. I could use a small break from general puzzling, anyway. That, and I need to revive my external hard drive AGAIN. Stop plugging it into the USB hub, idiot.

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