Sure racking up the HG points like this.

By Peter Butter · September 28, 2007

Blue Max proves lucrative. My score entry for it had disappeared (aaaah!), the tiny security hole that I suspect was behind it got fixed by HG yesterday, or earlier today, or however the time zones work. Happy with the fix, I found the screenshot I'd used earlier on my USB stick and submitted a new score entry.

Evidently, HG managed to refind my lost entry in the meantime, so when I returned a few hours later my new entry was accepted AND the old one was back up as well, so that the whole world may see not ONCE how awesome Sash is at Blue Max, but twice.

And the kicker - MY resubmit was worth 80 points, and apparently, so was HG's. Adding the original submission, that's now a total 240 over a single record. That Wii will be mine yet.

About the blogger

Peter Butter

Starting out as a small time reviewer and FAQ author on GameFAQs, my writing has been even more tilted toward the old school than my gaming. I enjoy games of many eras, but I always found it more compelling to write for something that hasn't been done extensively already, which often ruled out the more modern games I played as I tend to run at least a couple of years behind the facts. My Honestgamers catalogue was initially just copying over much of my old GameFAQs work, and then for a time dual submitting to both sites. But over 2015 I posted my first HG exclusives, with hopefully more to follow.

I'm not sure why the old submission appeared. Certainly, it wasn't anything I'm aware of having done on my end. If there is a duplicate posted, see if you can delete one now. I think there was an error in the coding. Staff and the submission's original contributor should both be able to delete or edit.

I'm sure you've even got a US address lined up, Sash, since you seem to make many trips over there. :P

Hehe, sure do - in fact I'm not interested in the Wii myself but on the off chance that I land it, I'll donate it to her. :)

@ HG: no luck deleting, I get:

"Sorry, but you are not permitted to view this page because you are not signed into the appropriate account. Please return once that has changed. Thank you!" Obviously, I AM signed into the appropriate account because at this point, if I'm not, the delete link doesn't show up in the first place.

Deleted, gone.
