Yeah I used to think I would be one of the best in the world at Woods 2005 on playstation. I was somewhere around 150-0 against my friends and could shoot in the 40's on relatively tough courses.

Then I go online, join a tourney play a decent round, shoot something like 46 at Sherwood and the leader has 38. I'm around 50th place.

I think EA Sports (Madden, Woods, Fight Night, NBA Live, etc.) is another one of those areas where so many people play religiously that you have no idea where on the global scale the best player you know is.

The truth is, there are people who pretty much devote their whole lives to video games. So unless you're some sort of inborn genius at a game, there's almost no chance to be near the top of a game that a lot of people play. Not unless you're willing to give up as much of your life as they do.

I try telling people this when the "what are you the best at out of 2+2ers" or "what are you world class at" threads and nobody believes me.

Yeah, they don't want to admit it.

I consider myself pretty damn good at tetris.

I haven't played the NES version, but I probably get the emulator now. The ones I've played the most are The New Tetris for N64 and the ones on TI-83, 85, 89. I play for points.

What was your top score on New Tetris?

I've gotten 810-ish in Sprint Before. 33 Seconds for Ultra.

Lines - I got into the 260's once. It gets to the point where any distraction in the room (at all) causes you to lose.
