hi everyone, my name is pickpocket and i will be your host for the Armor Gamer Championship events. We will see a lot of excitement in this game. Here are the rules...

10 people can sign up at one time. all others must wait till the season ends to join. what will happen in this game is i will say a random game on AG. Once you know what the game is, you must go and play this game. once you play it, either take a screen shot, or simply post your high score on the leader boards. YOU CAN ONLY USE THE SCORE THAT YOU GOT THAT TIME. YOU CANNOT USE OTHER SCORES. you may replay the game and post higher scores. this will eliminate your lower score. keep replaying until you get the best score possible by the end of the week.

once 10 people are ready to play, the game will be announced. all players must go and play this game, or be disculalfied from the Championship. in the starting round, the people with the 4 LOWEST high scores are eliminated from the game. the remaning 6 will go onto the next weeks game. for the 2nd round, the 3 players with the worst scores are eliminated. this leaves 3 players on the third round. for this round, you must get the highest score of the three. the person with the highest score in the 3rd round wins the Championship! the winner is not alowed to play in the next season, but is alowed to give game recomendations to me for everyone to play. the winner can not play two season back to back, but can play after sitting out one round.

Who will be the ultimate Armor Gamer?

I'm assuming that we're going for score, not combo?

Oh, the AG version lacks that feature. Whoopsies. Score coming later.

I firmly believe that differences in hardware should NOT be a factor in choosing a game.

Why not? With not keeping such a thing in mind..that could lead to games where the one with better hardware ends up with the better results..even though the one with the lesser quality hardware is a better gamer. Sometimes, no matter how good you are at gaming, it just isn't good enough to come over an obstacle like that

Because differences in hardware will always produce differences in results. It's impractical to work around them, and in many cases impossible to test for. Cases in point:
Round 1 was Give Up, which lags to the point where it was unplayable for at least one user, due to their hardware
Last round was Axon, and several users were unable to produce a passing score because they don't have a mouse, they only have a trackpad
This round we have swapped a game that favours a fast computer for one which favours a slow computer (I've played Dodge on my old laptop, and it would lag significantly, especially when the bomb enemies exploded, which made dodging a lot easier).
Basically I think changing games because of hardware differences is a huge can of worms, because anyone could potentially complain about any game.

Second try. Why isn't the score appearing in the win screen?

Probably got the 100+ combo at the start here, but made a few really dumb mistakes, especially on the last level, that cut my score down. I don't think this score will pass me but we'll see tomorrow.

Are you trying to tell me you broke the max combo limit of 8?
