So I've just wasted the last 2 hours playing this damn spearchucking game that Brother Kaf posted on his blog. I was determined to make the high-score list which, when I started, ranged between 534.4 and 538.6 points (meters?). I hit 533.5 a few times and 534.0 twice. I was almost there.
All of a sudden, some pimple-faced punk-ass must have hacked the freakin' thing, cuz the high-score list only showed one name, with scores ranging from 576 to 621! I hate kids.

Posted by: ColdChef on April 29, 2002 11:09 PMyou have to hold the mouse button down before the rocks. the trick is to get the spear in the optimal chucking position before you get there. hold it too short, you get no lift. hold it too long and you're throwing straight up.
much of my morning was taken up by that insidious thing.
Posted by: eyeballkid on April 29, 2002 11:18 PMI was starting the throw just as the tip of the spear crossed the plane of the tree in the background. Then let go as close to the rocks as you can.
Posted by: jpoulos on April 29, 2002 11:43 PMI start at midnight and go straight to "today's top" with 29.
Posted by: Miguel on April 30, 2002 09:48 AMThe high scores have been reset to more realistic 534 levels, but I still can't get over 529. Damn.
Posted by: yhbc on April 30, 2002 12:22 PMI have gotten 534 repeatedly, but not quite enough for a high score. I will soon try sacrificing chickens in hopes of appeasing the spear-throwing gods.

Posted by: Miguel on April 30, 2002 01:53 PMI think that kid must have bought the "Anabolic Steroid Expansion Kit" for Speartoss.

Posted by: Chico on July 20, 2004 03:36 PMActually, I'm a bit more concerned about our boy Nick up there, what with his unchecked aggression. The boy'll get hypertension at this rate.
I'd prescribe a regular routine of high colonics and lots of bedrest. Not because that would do him any good, of course, but it would keep him off the durn interweb.
