Cats: The Musical: The Game: The Legend: The High Score Contest: In Which You Can Win Things
nukka jdav | 6:33 PM on 04.30.2009 3 comments




Thats right. Dead Movie Star has turned our (The Backwards-Compatible crew) world upside down and soon he will do the same to you. As a fun way of promoting his latest big release, Cats: The Musical: The Game: The Legend, we're going to have a high score contest. As the current world record holder (because Xavier is a photoshopping ass), I feel that to attain my score will be a challenge, and will take much longer for an average human being than the 10 minutes it took me to obtain. Anyway, rules and such.

Rule #1: Download Cats: The Musical: The Game: The Legend and play it. <----- CLICKY

Rule #2: Get a high score or some shit like that.

Rule #3: Send a LEGIT screenshot of your high score to xavier@backwards-compatible.com . Don't be scared to post it in the comments either. It'll ramp up the competitive spirit.

Rule #4: Do all of the above by next Friday, the 8th.

Rule #5: These aren't really rules, they're more procedural and such, how embarassing.

Rule #6: Win an amazing, mystery cats poster. I'm not shitting you. It's that good.

Well folks, get to it. It is actually Dead Movie Star's most gamey game yet and is crazily addicting. Just ask the world record holder...who's that again? Oh yeah, its me! Haha what a pompous ass I have become.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Backwards Compatible Podcast: "Oh my god Colette is here, try to stay cool without making it awkward edition" Records Tonight
nukka jdav | 2:31 PM on 04.05.2009 9 comments




Or that what I hear...you see, I don't really put any effort into Backwards Compatible. I'm just kind of...here. Either way, it doesn't matter, because you have to listen to find out what happens. HA, marketing.

So yeah, the fellas (Pendleton, Garison, Armando, Xavier) and myself are all going to record something tonight. We talk about video games and stuff. Like what they are and what buttons to press or something. Doesn't really matter either, because Armando is fun to listen to, especially when he gets to talking about children.

Alright so ask us questions about whatever, we like them. My favorites are the contrived ones...mmm...yeah.

Oh yeah and since Colette will be there (presumably), ask her things. Do it. Even if she isn't there. I do a good woman impression that isn't sexist at all.

YAY!

 about me

About Me:

Hey there, I'm James. I'm originally from Deer Lodge, MT, but now I'm going to school in Missoula for TEACHING. Yeah, I kind of changed my mind. I was doing the journalism thing, but kind of had a weird epiphany about the whole thing. Teaching was what I wanted to do before journalism and after some hard thought I'm going to return to it. I figure becoming an english teacher will allow me to continue writing. That blogging dream will still be there, It just won't be priority.

I'm very into music, especially Modest Mouse and Animal Collective. Classic rock makes my genitals burst as well. My life is simple: School, my lady, friends, family, dogs, and games. Easy peasy, no? I've been around Dtoid for a while, lurking since the beginning, and registered a while ago. I love it here, having such a good community really does the place well. I'm into any game that doesn't suck. There is really very little I'm not willing to play. The only problem is time, but please recommend good games to me. I've been on an indie binge recently, so start there. Feel free to add my PSN and Gamertag to your friends lists. I'm a nice dude and love playing with Dtoiders. You guys are amazing.


I blow at fighters, this is just the only cool looking picture I've ever taken.

Top Five Games at the Moment (No Particular Order)
1. Left 4 Dead
2. Half - Life 2
3. Metroid Prime
4. Resident Evil 4
5. Little Big Planet

Other Things...

The Unshaven - a dodgeball movie that probably won't be funny to you that my friends and I all made as a parting senior thingy. Anyway, if you wanna see me in action I'm the chubby one playing The Lion King on my Sega. (Major credit to Daniel Lombardi)

My Youtube Channel - nothing too special on there, just some videos from a longgg time ago and a few I made from boredom.
