I’ve played a bit of Audiosurf before, and I quite liked it, but I never really got into it in any kind of obsessive, must-get-100%-on-Message-In-A-Bottle kind of a way like I did with the earlier Guitar Hero games.
Then I got an e-mail:
“You used to have the worldwide best score for: everything counts [live] by depeche mode
Now the Audiosurf player ‘Prozak Junkie’ has beaten you. Launch Audiosurf and reclaim the top spot!”
I didn’t even know that I had (or used to have) the worldwide best score for anything, really. And, had I never found out, losing that mantle would never have bothered me.
Now, of course, I’ve got to beat that Depeche Mode loving bastard!

I quickly gave up trying to reach the scoreboards for anything.
I do however have In Flames’ cover of Everything Counts so I’ll see how well I can do…

I should probably point out, before anyone else does, that my score isn’t particularly good.
It was one of those that not many had attempted so I was top by default I think.
But the new high score is definitely beatable…

They should send you some kind of award shaped like an eighties God.

Just to reiterate: I’m a long, long, long way from being ‘good’ at Audiosurf. For a start, people who play ‘Mono’ are lamers. You need to master ‘Pointman’ and ‘Pusher’ for the big points (and the respect, as Paul Walker might say):

And to clarify one more thing, that other guy was bastard for having a higher score than me, not for loving Depeche Mode. They rock!

I have never encountered Audiosurf before.. It kind of looks like Guitar Hero but more head trippy. With road blocks. Or something.
