200,000 medal points + Video walkthrough giveaway

Posted by Knuckstrike - September 4th, 2012

I do feel that I should at least make a news post every time I get 100,000 medal points.

Lately, a lot more games have been submitted. It's mainly because of this that getting the last 100,000 medal points didn't even take eleven months. Although it's still a challenge to get some of the medals, not nearly a third of the medals require more than ten minutes to get. Not an exception are the medals in the HTD games. I'm pretty surprised they haven't been qualified as shovelware already. To date there are 26 of them, hardly different from each other. And each day that number grows by two.

Even though submissions like this exist, I still think it was a great decision to make medals free for each author to implement. It can be improved (e.g. for someone who submits flash to have a max of 100 points and 10 medals per game if they do not have a game of a score above 4.0), but it makes medal gaining much more diverse. I believe we have a game of every type with medals now.

Read this part for the walkthrough giveaway:

The deadline has been passed, and after a long and intense randomizer program the three games I will do are (in this order):

- Bubble raid sixth sense medal
- One button javelin throw
- Dadgame challenge level on hard

The walkthroughs will come soon!

That's all I think. Up to the next 100,000!

about fucking time :3

Knuckstrike 2012-09-04 16:11:13

It was, wasn't it?

Do you have a game in mind?

Shantom 2012-09-04 22:26:57

Congratulations on 200k ...and 10 points ._.

As for a walkthrough, it sounds really nice.. but I have nothing in mind atm. I will tell you if I remember any interesting game :o

GL with the next 100k and beating Nijsse? lol

Knuckstrike 2012-09-04 22:26:57

It's a shame about those ten points. I still needed about 200 and then I saw a couple of 5-point medals and thought: might as well grab those. I didn't expect too end with over 200k.

You still have nine days, so take your time.

And beating Nijsse? Maybe in a next life. Although I did get quicker from 100k to 200k than Nijsse did, all my "easy" games are no longer there.
My only chance to be #1 is if he retires.

MaartenC 2012-09-06 01:33:06

I have 11k HA!

Knuckstrike 2012-09-06 01:33:06

*9k

As for walkthroughs, can it be any game even if someone else has already made walkthroughs for them, as long as they meet the following conditions? Also, are you able to do a walkthrough of a specific level of a game or a specific medal in a game?

Do you think you could do a walkthrough of any of the four challenge modes in Dadgame? The challenge must be played on Hard. If you already beat a challenge on hard, do what you can do. For example, if you managed to beat Target challenge on hard, do that. Good luck. Could not think of a better idea, so I settled with that.

Thank you, and good job on hitting 200,000 points. Try completing more games for 100% so that you can further boost your score without resorting to having to wait for new games, even though they appear pretty often.

Knuckstrike 2012-09-06 02:04:44

I will do all games. I've noted Dadgame. Thank you.

I have this large list of games I want to get some more medals in. If I'm bored I either write a review, or I check that list to see if I feel like playing one of those games.

JKSSN 2012-09-07 06:53:57

:O CONGRATS!

Knuckstrike 2012-09-07 06:53:57

:O THANKS!

Nijsse 2012-09-08 05:46:21

Congratulations sir, well done! While scrolling through your medal wall I noticed how differently we approach medal games. You seem to like playing games to a certain extent, without having the urge to play it to completion. Must be nice to be able to think "f this, let's play the next game". =)

Like I said before, I respect the work you are doing for the NG community. Keep up the good work. If I think of a game I'd like to see you play (unfortunately, you haven't been able to beat the ones I had in mind), I'll let you know. Good luck!

Knuckstrike 2012-09-08 05:46:21

Thank you very much Nijsse.

Indeed, I only play games I like. I have almost no grinding medals, as I don't think it's worth my time :D. I want to try all games.
It also didn't help that all my save files got wiped out recently. So, for example with that pico racing/rampage/shooting game, I didn't feel like gaining all that money again.

Because I haven't beaten a flash game doesn't mean that I can't do it. It may be that I just didn't feel like it at the time, and then forgot about it. Tell me which ones you'd like to see a walkthrough of, and I'll try my best.

Nijsse 2012-09-08 14:29:30

Well, in that case I would really like to see a walkthrough of the Sixth Sense medal in Bubble Raid. It's going to look like the easiest thing in the world, while in reality you're stressing your pants off after the 4 minute mark. Feel free to decline as it's a fairly manly task, but I'm sure you can pull it off if you really want to!

Knuckstrike 2012-09-08 14:29:30

That is a really hard game. But thank you for the suggestion, I will manage it if it comes up.

MaartenC 2012-09-09 11:17:02

Oh for fuck's sake. A game(s) got deleted.

I had 11k :(

Knuckstrike 2012-09-09 11:17:02 (Updated 2012-09-09 12:30:36)

2,000 points is not just a game or two. Maybe fortunacus got stripped of some points?

MaartenC 2012-09-09 12:56:31

I guess so. A few thousand points for clicking a few buttons is outrageous, I get that.

AppleJack 2012-10-22 19:23:45

no one commented for a LONG while
so i might as well do so now

Knuckstrike 2012-10-22 19:23:45

Yay. Because you did I'll give you an update:

DAMMIT THOSE GAMES ARE HARD.

I've tried like a few hundred times to get over 100m in that javelin game, and I constantly get around 99,6m. Gaah, that is irritating.

Nijsse changed his vote to Traffic Wonder HD after a talk. I'm working on it, but it's a lot of movie for a game, and there are a hundred pretty difficult levels.

I'm working on them, and since I have half a week off from school I might be able to get either 100m, or complete one of the other two games.

Darkyroth 2012-10-29 01:31:33

I have no idea on what to comment about this,just you said yoshi is god and i agree!:D

Knuckstrike 2012-10-29 01:31:33

That's a great comment! :D

Darkyroth 2012-11-02 22:37:14

Hi,i just wanted to thank you for that reply!!!:D

Knuckstrike 2012-11-02 22:37:14 (Updated 2012-11-03 03:48:59)

You're welcome.

AppleJack 2012-11-04 12:19:51

you hit the majestic 20
how bonerific

Knuckstrike 2012-11-04 12:19:51 (Updated 2012-11-04 14:45:49)

The majestic 20?

Darkyroth 2012-11-04 22:10:10

I think AppleJack meant majestic 200 referring to your points maybe but i don't know what majestic means lol so,uh,what are you doing lately?

Knuckstrike 2012-11-04 22:10:10

Oh, I just got it, 20 fans.
Majestic means something like beautifully large. Something that you can show off with pride.

I'm very busy with school lately. I have another two weeks full of tests now. So it's fun :D
Are you getting addicted to Newgrounds already?

Nijsse 2012-11-24 19:18:10

I think you got kinda screwed by the requests. The 100m throw in Suicide Javelin might be impossible, the sixth sense medal is really brutal and I don't think anyone managed to completely beat Traffic Wonder HD. That leaves Dad Game on hard mode, a fairly annoying challenge if I remember correctly. I think it's easier to reach 300k points than making a video walkthrough of all those challenges. =)

Knuckstrike 2012-11-24 19:18:10

Then I'll start with Dad game :D.

Thanks for the tips. Do you have the 100m medal in suicide javelin throw?

Shantom 2012-11-25 17:33:54

I don't remember that javelin medal being so hard. so, I gave it another try.
It took me like 5 minutes but I got 100.30ish with one throw.
Try to aim a little higher than 45°. Also, press R when you make any mistake to save time.

Knuckstrike 2012-11-25 17:33:54 (Updated 2012-11-26 07:36:00)

Thank you very much.

Christopher 2012-12-11 23:57:23
