I was addicted to peggle all the summer (chilean summer)....its a very cool game.....but...that score is INSANE..maybe i will try to do it (yeah right mr.!)...

hlfx

For people who have never played peggle, trust me when I say this: What you saw in that video is one of the most impressive feats of skill possible in a video game. I can only imagine how many weeks (months?) of preparation and practice that went into that accomplishment. 18 million points on a single ball.

People classify Peggle as a causal game, but once you get past the story mode, it is one of the most hardcore games I know

teamr

guys with too much time. i was to impatient for that.

but that classic music will be burned in my head forever with neon genesis evangelion.........

Himiko

Fuck me, the only challenge I've got to do is the 750 000 on 1 level thing, and then you guys go and wave this in front of me! I had weaned myself off Peggle!

Must...fight...urge...to...peggle...

TheJeanGenie

I had no idea what the hell was going on. But damn was it pretty.

exkon

No idea what just happened. So this is like some sort of goofy pachinko?

Yuki

cleverly done.

@Al3xandr0s:
The First Slice is apparently a "slightly extended" version of the demo (which is probably bullshit), and it's technically free only to NVIDIA users.

But yeah, you're right. everyone should just buy The Orange Box@Al3xandr0s:

Jebusman

Isn't First Slice basically the demo and free to everyone? If not, how stupid is it to limit your demo to a particular brand... Anyway, everyone should buy Portal if not the Orange box :)

Al3xandr0s

Technically Peggle Extreme is free for anyone who buys the orange box OR owns a NVIDIA Geforce card (any series):

[www.steampowered.com]

You get Portal: The First Slice, HL2: Deathmatch, HL2: Lost Coast and Peggle Extreme.

ATI Owners.... you only get HL2: Deathmatch and Lost Coast

I'm just gonna pack up my toys and go home; there's no way I can ever come close to that.

Dregor

Holy shit, that's just god-like.

NeoAkira

Holy crap.

eugaet

Several tabs of Ecstacy later, it's all clear what was going on.

JapJay

@Michael McWhertor: Right, but anyone with a PC who doesn't own the orange box by this point is crazy, so it's basically free to all.

Dukeman330

There was absolutely nothing casual about that clip. NOTHING! I have been lied to... but I still seem pleased.

dunetiger reads kotaku, seems pleased

Good GOOGLY MOOGLY!!! O_O

Zaxxon Q Blaque

@Arsenicberyllium: Guess it's not technically free. I've updated to prevent mass hysteria!

Michael McWhertor

WTF?

Grimmjow Jeagerjaques

Holy Awesome.

DonWii

At first I thought "WTF?"
Then, I thought "That's obsessive"
Then, I though "Wait, the HL-Themed one is free? I thought that only came with the orange box."

Arsenicberyllium

Dude has too much free time. (dadeisvenm contradicts himself)

dadeisvenm

@hlfx: I so did not see your "INSANE" before I posted mine. :p

ShaggE

@teamr: Yup. Those challenge levels are INSANE. It's even worse when you realize that you cannot stop playing. Not even heroin is that addictive.

ShaggE

That person has some seriously insane skillz! But that's not the quickest or easyest way to beat the 750k challenge, doing that just to beat the 750k is overkill.

The best way to beat 750k is on the FEVER level, play as Warren and aim as high and to the right as possible then aim 6 mouse wheel notches down. Take one trial shot and take note of which pegs get hit by that shot, now keep restarting the level till both the green pegs and purple peg are among the pegs that'll be hit, if you get magic hat off the first green peg and triple score of the 2nd (1/16 chance) then that'll get you something like 500k and then you just need to mop up the rest to take you over the line, easy 750k with no serious skillz required, just a little patience.

Sketchy is good. Daddy likes.

TC

Wowza.

I can't run the whole of the Orange Box on my PC, but I have the nVidia card owners deal thing.

Peggle Extreme is just crazy. It's either devoid of any skill, or requires utter ridiculous methods of planning, a la the video.

Even the crack that is Peggle has not been played as much as Half-life 2 Deathmatch though. Best free game I've ever played...besides Kyntt Stories.

Krondonian

what other games use ode to joy? That's the first one I've heard.

futonhead

@ZinkO: Balls of the Patriots: so that people like you can ask a useless queston (omg why an "ODE TO JOY" when you get a hiscore? guess why?) just to let everyone know that they know the song and are very cool because of that.

Vidunder

why do so many games use "Ode to Joy" when you get a high score?

ZinkO: Balls of the Patriots

Impressive? Yes.

Too bad his playing skills have left him utterly incompetent when adding all those video effects. :P

Dave Silva

DAMN.

DarkHomer

this (almost) 8 minute clip sums up why he has never been laid

gamer dude: not now honey, i've got to get 1 bajillion points with ONE BALL...how l33t am i???

gamer dudes woman: *electric whirring sound*

drlard

That is kind of obscene.

Chagrin

Peggle was a bonus in The Orange Box? Does that include the Xbox 360 version? I never saw it in there...

ManekiNeko

@drlard: If Steven Hawking can roll out A Brief History of Time, lecture at Oxford, retain respect as one of the greatest Physicists in the world, battle with his amyotrophic lateral sclerosis AND have three offspring...

I think this dude can manage to get a girlfriend.

Krondonian

@drlard: man, your penis is small.

thejakeman: still using an old joke that no one finds funny anymore. i have no friends.

@Michael McWhertor: it is actually free if you have a nvidia card. you can pick it up along with some other demoish things when you get a new driver.

thejakeman: still using an old joke that no one finds funny anymore. i have no friends.

I have Peggle on my iPod. It's definitely one of the best games you can get for $5.

M

holy shit. seriously.

really, thats impressive....the fact that he has it down to the exact position of the mouse off of the screen is pretty ridiculous. ive played a fuckton of peggle, and thats pretty impressive.

karl_hungus

@Krondonian: i didn't say he couldn't get a girlfriend...if you read the post it was saying he was too busy to get laid

@thejakeman: still using an old joke that no one finds funny anymore. i have no friends.: my penis may be small, but at least i can use it with my girlfriend....unlike some people

drlard

This frightens me on a level I cannot put into words. The mere fact that at the start of this video he showed multiple attempts at the final shot... and that he's painstakingly memorized every single shot needed to reach that point...

Insane.

Also, awesome!
