12 > 10
this is my friend terrence.
when u first meet him, terrence seems like a pretty laidback, anything-goes kinda guy. not saying that he isn't but when it comes to games, he is anything but. i don't think it's a competitive streak as such, but more like an insane, innate, indomitable lust to defeat the system, pre-programmed into his psyche. when it comes to games, he will dominate u and devastate u and send u crying to your mama.
meet his obsessive-compulsive gamer side. i think it's personified very well by this lil bunny here.
his last boast to me was 122bil, which was so beyond me that it took quite a while to figure out. 1bil = 9 zeroes, which made 122bil = 12 digits. and he didn't bother with a screenshot becoz he'd not only defeated the game, he pwned it so much that its very design could not contain him. literally.
see, the 122bil score had 2 digits truncated. the scoreboard has space enough for only 10 digits. for what it's worth, this little bit of trivia is something we mere mortals could never hope to know. it's a tall tale i know, but i'd never dream of questioning terrence's word. i'm no gamer at all.
however i'm still waiting for a worthy daytona opponent.
