Today's a team challenge. Are they going to have double dare challenges, too?

Apparently Daily Dare is much shorter this year -- can't say that I mind, really. AAA's scores are much lower than in years past (today's is 354 in Carnival of Terror), too.

I've been rather consistent with this, if only because it's being offered. That, and I'm curious on how many "bugs" we will need to clear in order to clean up the game room. It's certainly dashed the price of many items, making the world filled with countless Angelpuss. And you thought we had to worry about Meepits?

Today's game (Ghostboppers) was very frustrating because it wouldn't let me play with my "number pad" (a group of letters on my keyboard) because the game didn't recognize that my Number Lock key was turned on and wouldn't let me proceed without it. So I had to play with the keyboard settings, but the keys TNT picked are not aligned very well. I used to rock this game when I had a separate keyboard (high score well over 1000), but I had to play 3 times just to beat AAA.

Ah, well. Most of AAA's scores have been pretty easy; the only game I really struggled with Super Hasee Bounce (I can regularly score in the 800's when it's the featured game, but give me a specific score to beat, and I'll struggle every time).

I had the same frustrating issue with the number pad, using two different browsers and two different computers.

Since I've been unable to really play the games this year, I settled for Abi and the "day of" prize today.

I managed gold this year.

The hardest games for me where Gwyl's Great Escape - I really don't like these type of games and it was torture to have to keep playing it. Ghost Bopper was almost my downfall. I play on a laptop, luckily I could use numlock, but it meant having to turn the whole laptop around and playing sideways when the numbers rotated. I did get AAA's score and my highest ever.

Doing Faerie Bubbles for the DD gave me a new interest in trying for the avi, so with the guide in one window and the game in the other, I tried for almost 4 hours....and finally beat the game to get the avi. Yay!!

I didn't do so great this year, but I did manage to finish each day (just not all on day of)

I also got gold this year. For me, the hardest game was Super Hasee Bounce, which kept glitching on me (I'm an ace at that game when it's not for a specific score, but give me a goal and it'll take ages. The worst was the score I had over 800 that had the won't-jump-off-the-platform glitch with 4 lives left. None of the others were really horrible for me. I was a bit scared when I saw Gwyl's (since it was higher than my high score), but I used a guide and got it first try (I also am not a big fan, so I tend to quit as soon as I get the requisite score).

The prizes were okay, but I was a little sad that there weren't any water/island- themed games (so I could get more items for my beach gallery). I did like that it was shorter; this felt about the right length. Here's hoping they shorten the AC, too!
