I'd like to introduce my sorry ass to the BitMob community. My name's Eric. I've read EGM since day one and created a profile on 1up after I couldn't find EGM anymore, just to find out all the people I used to read didn't work there anymore. Damnit! I now find myself on this site, BitMob, and I finally feel like I'm home, like I did when I read stuff from the people who made this site except now it's raw, unplugged. That kicks ass. I like to play video games, hang out with friends, write, review games, post gaming achievements on YouTube and a whole lot more.
One thing I've been doing lately is submitting recordings of video games to the referees at Twin Galaxies. Twin Galaxies is the Official Electronic Scoreboard for Video Games and Pinball. It was started by Walter Day in the early Eighties and is named after his Arcade in Ottumwa Iowa. Today, TG tracks gaming World Records for all systems and just about every game ever released. It's a tough job keeping up with all the games being put out but they're making changes and adding things every day with the help of players making requests for tracking of World Records on games they love to play.
I know there are a lot of great sites with speed runs like YouTube and SDA, but I like that the rules are structured well, talked about by many gamers and thought out at TG. Not to mention, if you want the real deal, Recognized by Guinness, you have to go with Twin Galaxies. What do you think about World Records for Video Games? Stupid or Cool? Should there be a Video Game Hall of Fame/Museum? I want to hear from you.
Interested in a gaming World Record or setting one? Visit Twin Galaxies at http://www.twingalaxies.com/ and look for "search the scoreboard" on the left hand side of the main page or use the search near the upper right corner. Then simply enter the name of the game in the search for the games World Record information. You can also find me on these sites
