KYLE ON COURSE TO PASS ANDREW
Kyle Sinclair wins the final POD of 2005 with new Board the Platforms times that put him within a fifth of a second of Andrew Kent's total time. Because Andrew didn't send his total the last time, Kyle had to compute it, so Andrew still has the better total... for now. Will the first update of 2006 see Andrew Kent's BtP total pushed down yet another position?
Also today Kenneth Cheung has a very small Star Fox 64 improvement.
BIG UPDATE TO COME TOMORROW
Tomorrow, is, of course, New Year's Day 2006, so there will be many Awards handed out. A POD, which will be the first for 2006, if there's anyone playing; the last POW of 2005; the December 2005 POM; the POQ (Player of the Quarter) for October 1-December 31... and finally the biggest Award of all, the POY (Player of the Year). You have probably already guessed half (or more) of the winners of these Awards, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out if you're right or not!

Mike Long's back today playing Star Fox 64, and he has three new scores. None of them as amazing as his Katina score, of course. In fact he is still struggling to make 400 points on Meteo.
HANI MUSTERED
As always, Hani Habra has new times in the Mario Party series. He's entered another top ten in Drivers Ed and is approaching Kyle Sinclair's Block Star WR and also makes top three in Full Tilt.

Players List
COSMIC JUSTICE
Today we have a new player with a rather interesting name: Cosmo Wright. His new times are for Beetle Adventure Racing and he has a very interesting point to make. He says that Phil Hughes achieved all his times in two-player mode, which allows you to have handicaps and to drive the cars faster. We both feel that this is below the belt, so Cosmo and I have agreed to change the rules so that only 1-player times are allowed and Phil Hughes's times have been taken down until he can make new times in 1-player mode. I can see why Phil raced in 2-player mode, since it wasn't expressly prohibited by the rules, but I think he should have at least asked before sending his times since this is such an incredibly cheap way to race.

THIS DESERVES A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF SUSHI!
OTHER PEOPLE WHO WILL BE GETTING A HOT CHRISTMAS
AND ONE GUY WHO WILL BE GETTING A WHITE CHRISTMAS... IF HE CELEBRATES IT
SEASON'S GREETINGS FROM N64HS
In the United States this year there has been a movement to replace "Merry Christmas" with "Happy Holidays" to include non-Christians who don't celebrate Christmas. But those of us who are Christian, such as myself, believe that Christ should not be taken out of Christmas, because he is the "Reason for the Season". I know there are probably many of you out there that are Jewish, Muslim, etc. and do not celebrate Christmas, and I respect that. I'd still like to wish a Merry Christmas to those of you who do celebrate it, but to those of you who don't: HAPPY HOLIDAYS! ;-)
I'm doing this one day early for two reasons: (1) I will not be updating tomorrow, which those of you who have been with us for a while already know now, and (2) by the time you read this it will probably already be December 25th anyway.
I don't know if Jorge Maricato actually likes sushi (I don't) but if he does, he should get a lifetime supply of it today! He made an incredible new score for the Sushi-Go-Round in Pok\'e9mon Stadium and also tied the Magikarp's Splash WR. And this ain't no fish story!
We know that Victor Lima celebrates Christmas because he wished me a Merry Christmas in his e-mail to me today. Brazil is predominantly Catholic. But anyway, Vic now has all the Coinless Stars in Super Mario 64, while his cousin Marcelo took back the Stardust Battle Nai WR in Mario Party 3 and made a good Water Whirled time while he was at it!
We're not so sure if Hani Habra and his family celebrates Christmas. People in Michigan that do celebrate it, though, are in for a treat because it's usually a White Christmas, and I believe this year's Christmas is supposed to be white there as well. Last year's Christmas was white for us, for the first time in my lifetime. It was even white all the way into southern Texas. Today Hani improved his Drivers Ed course 3 time, picking up yet another position, and sent in some new records for Mario Pary 5 and 6.

HANI HABRA REACHES FOR THE STARS
Hani Habra makes a new Nai WR in Mario Party 3 today with his new Stardust Battle time. He doesn't say whether or not this is at or near the lowest time possible, but it beats the old WR by two seconds! Hani's sister, Reema, is welcomed to the Players List with her first N64 score, for Mario's Puzzle Party Pro. We shall see if she can join the ranks of Kristi Casey, Athena Tsadili, and... uh, Michelle Kent, who turns 18 today... as one of the great female N64 players.

There's no more intelligent life on any of the planets after Kenneth Cheung, Mike Long, and Caio Seidel De Criginis were finished with them. Each of the three has some new scores to share.

KYLE AHEAD OF LUIZ NOW IN PLATFORMS
The Total Time that Kyle Sinclair sent me for Board the Platforms yesterday is incorrect. He calculated it incorrectly. His total actually puts him in 4th place ahead of Luiz Roberto, Jr. If your total is an aggregate (made from multiple saved games) always add it in a calcuator and figure one minute for every 60 seconds in the total. 60 seconds equals 1 minute, 120 seconds is 2 minutes, 180 seconds is 3 minutes, 240 seconds is 4 minutes and 300 seconds is 5 minutes. Subtract the highest multiple of 60 that is less than your total number of seconds and you will have the remaining number of seconds for your total time. You shouldn't make a mistake.

BOB-OMB X-ING MAXED BY NEW SWEDISH PLAYER
The new player today isn't an N64 player (yet) so we can't add him to the Players List or give him today's POD, unfortunately. But he is the best player today nonetheless. Thomas Gunnarsson (it's easier just to call him Tom, I suppose) sends in two amazing records for Mario Party 4. He lasts for ten minutes on Bob-Omb X-Ing, which is as far as the timer will go. And on Mushroom Medic, he's the first PAL player to save a hundred patients (actually 99). Maybe Sweden should add Dr. Tom to its bomb squad!
JON BARBER IS BACK... SORT OF
He doesn't have any new scores or times but Wisconsinite Jon Barber, one of the greatest Zelda, Mario Kart, and Goldeneye players ever, has sent new information for his Players List profile. Did you know he even had a new site?
SMALL IMPROVEMENTS BY THREE PLAYERS
There were no big improvements today, or any new WRs. Hani Habra made a small cut on his Bobsled Run time in Mario Party 2, Steven Weerdenburg has new coins in Super Mario 64 under both the normal rules and the Capless, Cannonless Rules, while Caio Seidel De Crignis makes an eight-point improvement in Area 6. It's techincally a WR because of the "511 rule" but it is still 100 points from the true WR. Caio actually made a slightly higher score playing the game on his emulator, but we won't accept emulated scores (though using an emulator is perfectly acceptable for practice runs, and a good idea in fact).

Julian Revermann is struggling with Mecha Fly Guy. He improved his time just enough to get ahead of Michelle Kent and Ren\'e9 Els\'e4sser, and still needs nine more spins to make the Nai WR.
With lots of trial and error I have determined the formula for how far the Mecha Fly Guy will fly based on the number of rotations of the control stick. The formula for NTSC is t = 2/5 + 2/15r, with t being the flight time in seconds and r being the number of rotations. If you try this formula on any of the NTSC records you'll always be within 0"1 of the actual time. I am not sure what the exact PAL formula is.

Who is perhaps the best N64HS player of 2005, and the clear favorite for the Player of the Year award (nothing short of a miracle will stop him from getting it, as any newcomer can tell), lives up to the reputation today. In Star Fox 64, he takes two pivotal WRs: Venom, and Total Hits. Additionally he takes the 2nd highest score for Area 6, bringing Steven Zwartjes's score there from first to third within a week.
And if that wasn't enough... Mark Johnson has the first score for Yoshi's Story! It's not a good score, being his first, but Mark promises to play this game some more and get bigger and better scores. Getting 3rd place overall should be a cakewalk for this guy!

A NEEEEEEEEEW WORLD RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!
Kyle Sinclair has achieved his greatest Super Smash Bros. time yet. In Board the Platforms he cut an incredible about of time off his Mario time, not getting him closer to Isai Alvarado, but getting him ahead of Isai! That makes it a brand new world record!
The POW for last week went to Winfried Merdes, I forgot to assign it yesterday. I had been giving it on Sundays this month. Today is part of the 4th week of November, which runs to the end of the month. So the next POW I give will be not for a week but for a ten-day period! Good luck everyone!

BUSY ONCE MORE
Today there are new scores from four players, a major improvement over yesterday, when there was nothing new. The top story is Winfried Merdes, who has made a considerable improvement onto his Total Hits record in Star Fox 64. A look at the proof pic reveals that he set the score on PAL with the 511 limitation, so his run is actually better than mine. My guess is that he can attain 2,400 Total Hits on the NTSC version.
KYLE'S CUT
After the removal of Isai Alvarado from the Break the Targets and Board the Platforms charts for Super Smash Bros., Kyle has gained at least one first-place time in Board the Platforms (though I still have not yet gone and changed all the numbers). He improved that time by 0"05 today, but if Isai ever decides to come back to N64HS he will have the Mario WR once more.
Other Super Smash Bros. news: Mark Johnson has taken a new video of his controversial Fox WR for Break the Targets. You'll find it on the brand-spanking-new Message Board!
MIKE POLLACK HITS THE LINKS
New Yorker Mike Pollack sent in a Speed Golf time for Mario Golf, just to make sure there'd be at least something to update today. He obviously didn't know about Winfried, Kyle, and...
...JULIAN.
Julian Revermann has become the second German to tie the Mario Speedwagons PAL WR in Mario Party 4. It is surprising that the first German to get this tied WR was a girl!

WHY A NEGATIVE NUMBER OF NEW SCORES?
If you've been keeping up with all out updates, you may have heard that Isai Alvarado wanted his times taken off the N64HS charts. He has constantly been asking me to do this so it is clear that this is what he wants. He states that he does not want to be with us because I am accepting times from Mark Johnson and Sean Kaczmarek without demanding that they send a video of their actual performance, rather than just a picture, which Isai insists that Mark has faked. But I don't believe that it is necessary to go this far and neither do Sean or Mark. This decision has made Isai ashamed to be part of N64HS. However, he does say that in the future, he may make me new videos of his times and send them to me, and want his times to be put back up on the charts. So as a result, I have kept the positions the way they are on the charts (no 1st place, though Andrew can treat 2nd as 1st when he does the Rankings) and I also have a Word document with Isai's times on it. My decision to remove Isai from the charts today should please both him and his opponents.
WHILE ISAI QUITS, KYLE PUSHES ON
In Board the Platforms, Kyle Sinclair improved his Ness time, putting him closer to gaining another place.

With my newest score for Super Mario Bros. DX, I think it's possible to get a total of 7 million points if you wring out as many points as possible out of every stage! Especially the ones where you can perform the Koopa shell glitch. For example, 8-2, where I improved my score by 80,000 points, putting my total only 150,000 away from 7 million! I think another 20,000 or so points can be added to my new 8-2 score but I will bother with 5-2 and 6-2 first.

ISAI COULD BE QUTTING
Isai Alvarado, the champion of the Break the Targets and Board the Platforms pages, says he wants to withdraw from the N64HS competition. He says that we are not serious enough about demanding valid proof of Nai WR times from our players (see below) and that he does not want to be part of it. Before I go and delete his times, I want him to think it through. This is, after all, far from the only time I've ever been asked to take down a player's N64HS records.
MARK MAKES ANOTHER PROOF OF HIS FOX TIME, BUT IS IS ENOUGH?
Mark Johnson has made a new proof of his controversial Fox time for Break the Targets. You can find it here. Isai Alvarado points out that in the corner of your screen you can see an area of white that appears to be a computer monitor. Mark insists that his TV is white and says he will make a new video proof soon, in which we will be able to see Fox animating on the player select screen. Mark cannot make a video of the actual performance of his time, as he did it years ago and had no tape recording the run at the time. So anyone who wants true proof of this time will have to settle for a video of the time on the player select screen.

Kyle Sinclair is about to get his Break the Targets total under 2'26". He's got three nice improvements that will make it more difficult for Andrew Kent to get back ahead of him. You know he'll at least try!
THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING MARK JOHNSON
I've received a complaint from Isai Alvarado, the Break the Targets champion, that the Fox WR from Mark Johnson may be a lie, and that the proof photo could have been faked. He has made a topic about this on the GameFAQs message boards, and several users there also believe that the photo was edited. If you look at it you'll see that the 0s at the beginning of the time are bolder than the 9s that follow. I'm not going to just go on and say right now that this is a fake photo, but Mark does need to take another picture and see if it comes out better than this one did, perhaps from a different angle. It could only be an optical illusion. Mark insists that his time and his photo are real and that he could not perform the time again because he has since forgotten the strategy (he achieved the time two years ago), thus no video will be made. But perhaps if Isai will tell Mark his strategy, Mark might be able to achieve a time of 9"93 once more, or something close to it, and release a video of it. But if Isai can indeed prove that Mark's time is fake, and Mark cannot prove that his time is real, it appears as if my only option will be to disqualify him from N64HS, because if he fakes a picture of one time I will have to assume he faked all his other proofs, including those for Star Fox 64 and Super Smash Bros. 1-Player.

I told him he had until the end of November to prove at least some of his times or I would take all of them off of N64HS. But Sean sold his Nintendo 64.

Both Mark Johnson and Winfried Merdes have tied Dimitrij Jarowoj's Solar WR of 260 points in Star Fox 64. Winfried originally had the lower score, and thus made a greater improvement, winning Winnie the POD. But Mark still gets an award today-- last week's POW for his Super Smash Bros. and Mario Tennis scores.
DIMITRIJ WORKING ON TWO MORE WRS
Dimitrij Jarowoj only has three points to go before he ties the WR on Meteo, and only four points before he ties Venom. And if he improves Venom by five points... well let's not go there :-P

One of the hottest new players has already established himself as a great player in Blast Corps and Perfect Dark, and more recently he's taken on Snowboard Kids. But today he's got a new game on his agenda, it's Majora's Mask and he has two pretty good times there.

MIGHTY MARK
Mark Johnson is turning out to be quite an amazing player with multiple talents. Today's Super Smash Bros. scores make it crystal clear. The same guy who holds half of the Star Fox 64 WRs (though he lost one today, but we'll get to that later) has made more WRs in Super Smash Bros. today, including the new highest score on the page... more than 2.2 million points with Luigi! And in Mario Tennis, he has perfect scores for all the characters in Piranha Challenge! Though I haven't put up proof for the SSB scores, Mark has sent it, but the file sizes are too large. I'm only allowed 15 MB, and I've used 87% of it, and if I want more space I have to buy it-- something I'm not about to do.
DIMITRIJ JAROWOJ STRIKES BACK
It's time for Dimitrij Jarowoj to deal some blows of his own in retaliation. He took Mark Johnson's Solar WR in Star Fox 64, has finally broken 500 on Meteo, and worked on Venom to tie 2nd place, making my WR there all the more vulnerable.
SWEDE LOSES HIS TGR WRS
Mike Pollack has taken the Nai WRs that Swedish player Tobias Johansson set on the Coastline track in Top Gear Rally. Nicholas St-Louis joins Tobias on the Desert track-- he lost his Lap WR to Mike there.
ASSAULT ON ANDREW KENT
Kyle Sinclair's nose is still on the grindstone in Super Smash Bros.: Break the Targets. Today he shaved a good bit off his Total with a Ness improvement, and his total is barely over 2'28", but tomorrow he will have some new times that put him even closer to passing our official Rankings page updator!

Break the Targets, Kyle passes Luiz Roberto, Jr's time with improvements for two characters, while in 1080 Snowboarding, the Belfast boy is playing again and has passed Andrew Kent's total score with two new scores, even though he hasn't sent his exact score yet. (That's not all the damage he's done-- he's also deprived Greece's Athena Tsadili of all but one of her top fives, leaving that whole country with just one point left on N64HS's Rankings tables)
THREE PLAYERS, THREE COUNTRIES, THREE GAMES
Other new records today at N64HS include some new Super Mario 64 records from Steven Weerdenburg, from Canada; a new Top Gear Rally WR from American Mike Pollack; and in Germany, Tobias Braner has tied the Cloud Climb WR in Mario Party Advance.

MARK'S NEXT HIDDEN TALENT
Mark Johnson proves himself to be truly multi-talented with new Super Smash Bros. 1-Player scores. He got two Nai WRs! Let's say that all together now: Two Nai WRs! His total score is just shy of 20 mil! He'll have proof of this tomorrow. "Mark" his words. On top of all this, he has a new WR in Star Fox 64 today!
POWDER POWER
We have new scores today in both 1080 Snowboarding and Snowboard Kids! British player Tom Reynolds (the word "British" is actually a misnomer in this case because Tom is from Northern Ireland, which isn't part of Great Britain, but it's still part of the United Kingdom) finally submits the 1080 Snowboarding Trick Attack scores that I've been telling you about. He has one top three time and is just shy of Andrew Kent's total score, though his records are many years old, which means we might not get any new scores from him. In Snowboard Kids, David Schiering, who also has new WRs in Blast Corps, has new times.
ANDREW'S BEEN BUSY TOO
For those of you who just "Kent" wait for another update of the Ocarina of Time Rankings, Andrew has updated that page today, and he's pulling away from Kyle Sinclair's Break the Targets total.
WE'RE NOT FINISHED YET
Today's been a bit more active than normal. Mike Pollack's got some new Top Gear Rally times, which include new WRs, and David Schiering has finally released proof of his Blast Corps times! There is also a new link for Dimitrij Jarowoj's Star Fox 64 scores on that page. In Mario Party 4, Chris Gutierrez is back once more with a new WR... and he says he'll be playing Star Fox 64 again soon! He wants me to pass the following message: "I'M COMING FOR YOU CLUSTERLIGHTS!"

It's his first for a game other than Star Fox 64... and it's a NAI WR too!!! He got all the possible Coinless Stars in Super Mario 64. That is, unless a 78th star can be collected without using a cheat device.
WINFRIED MERDES TAKES ANOTHER TOP FIVE SPOT FROM ME
I knew Winfried Merdes could beat my Sector Y score if he tried. He did, and he did. He's now one point ahead of me, giving him 5th place. He's got proof of the score, and so does Mark for his two scores! So an entire day's worth of scores is added to the Proof page in addition to the charts.

Mark Johnson tackles both meteors and the sun to get today's POD, taking the WRs on Meteo and Solar. He reaches 250 points on Solar, and says that he's at or near the maximum score possible. So guess what-- another level for which I won't accept a new WR with no proof! I trust what Mark says.
HOW FAR CAN KYLE PUSH IT?
Kyle Sinclair is struggling to get his Break the Targets total under 2'29" and within reach of two of his competitors. He will have to really push his limits to get one more second shaved off-- which will put him in the top three! The payoff will be worth the effort!

Both Winfried Merdes and Mark Johnson have a new Nai WR for Star Fox 64 today. Mark gets the Corneria WR, while Winfried makes a jump straight from 3rd place to 1st on Solar. His improvement was greater as well, plus he improved Sector Y by one point (it won't be long before he passes my score there). For this, Winnie takes today's POD.
I ASSUME HE'S NOT KID-DING
Kristopher Will has taken another WR in Snowboard Kids, and finally has an Animal Land score, which is in 2nd place. You know he "Will" get the WR there before long.
WOUTER JOINS THE SPEED DEMOS ARCHIVE
Anybody that hasn't already done so should go to http://speeddemosarchive.com/. This site has videos of some of the fastest completions ever done for all the hottest Nintendo games, past and present, including all the Mario and Zelda classics. I think I should add this site to my Affiliates page, in fact. I don't think the owner(s) of the site would mind. Wouter Jansen's best Star Wars Episode 1 Racer times have been added to the archive!
KYLE PUSHES TOWARDS 2'29", MIKE WORKS ON TGR
Also today, Kyle Sinclair is working hard to get his Break the Targets Total time lower than those of Luiz Roberto, Jr. and Andrew Kent. It's getting a lot tougher for this guy to find opportunities to shave off those precious tenths of a second that he needs to achieve his goal. In Top Gear Rally, Mike Pollack has some new times. I am treating the mirror courses as equal to the regular courses in this game.

HE REALLY HIT THE MARK THIS TIME
The Boston boy, Mark Johnson, has gotten two truly amazing scores today in Star Fox 64. He has pushed Solar over 240... and Aquas to 280! In fact he says that 280 is the highest score that can be done on this level and that I shouldn't accept anything higher without proof! Since I trust Mark, I am going to follow his advice\emdash -if any of you folks out there (that includes you, Dimitrij Jarowoj!) say you have a higher score, you WILL need a picture before it goes on the charts.
SPEAKING OF PROOF REQUIRED\'85
Wouter Jansen and I have discussed it. Chris Hames's times for Ando Prime Centrum in Star Wars Episode 1 Racer is either a mistake or was done with a cheat, and will have to be either proven or corrected before it goes back up.

BAMA BOY DEBUTS IN 2ND PLACE IN BREAK THE TARGETS
Andy Eadon, best known by his nickname "Moogle", is the first player at N64HS who was "one of the chosen few to be born in Alabam", goes the Hank Williams, Jr. song. Moogle sent all his times for Break the Targets and Board the Platforms, and his Targets total is 2nd, while his Platforms total is 6th! This gives the likes of Kyle Sinclair and Bruno de Vasconcelos Teixeira another player to compete with!
DIMITRIJ TAKES TWO
Two Nai WRs, that is. He's got Solar and Aquas today, even though Mark Johnson also improved Solar and passed Winfried Merdes. For that, Mark does stay in 2nd place. But Andrew Kent's new update of the Star Fox 64 Rankings shows that Mark is still the new champion!
NEW SNOWBOARD KID ON THE BLOCK
He's new to the game, but not new to the site. David Schiering sends his first Snowboard Kids time, for Rookie Mountain. He can compete with his fellow Germans Kristopher Will, who improved his Rookie Mountain WR, and Lars Mangels, who has surpassed 30 seconds there.

All three of the Super Smash Bros. pages are updated, and three players have new scores and times for them. Michelle Kent made a small improvement in 1-Player mode, and her brother Andrew desperately tries to stay out of Kyle Sinclair's reach in Break the Targets. But it was Adam Rose that shined. With an impressive Captain Falcon score for 1-Player mode, Adam tops 18 million and passes Iacopo Sorce's total score. And that's not all: in Break the Targets, he beat one of Andrew's times!
A WR AT WILL
Kristopher Will took another WR in Snowboard Kids today, and improved two of his other times. And just to let you know, we'll soon have a new player at the other snowboarding game, 1080 Snowboarding, but I won't reveal his name of where he's from until he actually sends his scores, which are for Trick Attack.

The other WR was the Solar WR. Yep, Mark loses one of his WRs in exchange for the one he took. Winfried Merdes has it now, and he's got over 230 points! Let's see if Mark or Dimitrij can beat that score!
KYLE CLOSER TO ANDREW KENT; HOWARD BLOOMFIELD'S NEXT TARGET IS DANIEL HASTING
Kyle Sinclair is inching towards achieving an amazing feat: passing Andrew Kent's Break the Targets total. Andrew was once 2nd place. He'll be 5th, I think, if Kyle passes him.

KYLE THREATENS ANDREW KENT
Kyle Sinclair's next victim in Break the Targets is Andrew Kent, and he only needs to shave one more second off his total before he takes Andrew's 4th place spot. Bruno de Vasconcelos Teixeira, who is already ahead of Kent, improved a time.

EMILE & MARK DOMINATE THE AWARDS
First off I'd like to tell you about last night. It was, as you know, my 21st birthday, and 21 is the legal drinking age in the United States. So you can guess what I did. I had a Screwdriver, a Tom Collins, a Vodka Collins, a 7-7, and a Long Island Iced Tea. That last one really got me ruined. I'm not going to go into the gory details but my stomach didn't take it well at all the next morning, and my throat is still hurting. Please take my advice: Do NOT try to see how much you can drink in one night. It's not a very safe practice at all. It can't be good on your esophagus or your stomach.
The awards were pretty easy to decide. Emile easily makes this POM, as he got over half of the PODs! He worked especially hard in the last week and it paid off, making him POW as well. Today he has new records in Perfect Dark and Mario Tennis. Mark Johnson winning the POQ is a no-brainer, as he was the only guy active throughout the quarter, making the POM in August, and achieving incredible results in Star Fox 64, which started a big competition between himself, Dimitrij Jarowoj, and Winfried Merdes! And let's not forget, he set the new Total Hits record that will be very tough for Phil Hughes to beat on his PAL system!
AUSSIE CREW IS BACK
Andrew and Michelle Kent and Adam Rose have new records in the three Ss: Star Fox 64, Super Smash Bros., and Super Mario 64. Michelle just improved her 1P total in Super Smash Bros., Adam worked on Break the Targets, and Andrew became the fourth player to reach 100 on Fortuna in Star Fox 64, with various other improvements.
THE STAR FOX SHUFFLE
In Star Fox 64, a couple of WRs changed hands. Though Andrew Kent didn't make any new ones today, Mark Johnson did, earning him a POD and getting the first score of 460. And Dimitrij Jarowoj took the Aquas WR.

David Schiering, whom we can expect to be working harder this month, has improved the usual times in Blast Corps.
