I hope this stays around - I plan to post up here; just time is very tight right now, but when I do have chunks of time, I hope to have some conversation and friendly competition here.
Honestly, I can tell you first hand, i've done a lot of these HS threads and there are generally 5-10 people playing for every 1 person posting. Not sure if it's pride or what, but some folks won't post if they think a score should be higher.
Regardless, it'll just trigger one day, someone will come post something and boom, it'll take off for a few weeks, then it'll die back down, then it'll go again.
I'd love to play some XYX, but I don't like to rotate this particular monitor too often, it's a 2-person job (35" HDCRT). This is probably the one NGDEV game I should've opted for MVS on to play in the cab. That said, I will TATE again eventually and I hope there are folks still in this thread...
tl;dr - keep plugging and promoting, my friend.
