Self promo: “Slaves to our Machines” in Wired
A couple days ago I wrote about Porrasturvat — a video game where the object is to shove someone down the stairs and cause as much damage as possible. I couldn’t figure out how to get more than about 60,000 in points, but a lively discussion of strategy over at geeklife.com reveals some methods:
heres my tip:
heading: 180
pitch 79.10
his left foot
i scored 765k!!!!!!!!
Or
The Trick is to get him to bounce off the stairs and land square on the head. Head and neck fly off the screen and snap back gets about 120-200K legit.
Sweet.
