FEATURE GAME DAY: Phoenix @ St. Louis, Thursday October 29th, 2009, 8:00pm EST.

Got as far as 18. I feel my IQ dropped by about that much, as well, so I'm going to stop.

Hey, what's your record with the whack a penguin game?

Woohoo. Thanks shabbs. I got 19. It sucks that you have to wait for it to count the goal before you wind up again. I didn't notice that until the first couple times I tried your technique.

Sp, Shabbs, are you at home with your new beast, or are we going to be looking for new records tonight?

That was on my T500 laptop. It's all about timing and placement. There's a point on the power meter where if you shoot it high glove side, he'll never save it. Timing is everything.

Thing is I have no idea how to "shoot it high". It seems to go wherever it wants to. Now, how I worked it out, is you place it to the right (at the post or even furhter out) then just when the power meter gets near the top you quickly move it left as you release the mouse button. Most of the time this makes him move left (his right) and the puck goes in.
