    For those wondering about the hack of the game. I can confirm that it is possible. As the game is javascript at the core. It can be intercepted utilizing the appropriate tools and modified to reset the time left when the game starts. 
    Additionally, the game also discloses the top hitters email addresses which can be considered as PII information under some contexts. 

    Great idea! but wasn't executed correctly.

    On the other end. I have also gotten successfully 8-10 hr in a row. Time your swing when the pitcher raises their knee.

    I legitimately got to 1198 which is currently 8th place. Not sure how much higher I'd be without the hackers.

    Anyone else hearing a new layer of crowd noise added to playing the game? And that new layer of crowd noise is very VERY loud.

    Latest update is ..


  • tbergstbergs Posts: 10,070
    Yes, crowd noise is very loud now starting after the 6 pitch.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    That's a shame people are cheating. No point now.

    I think the crowd gets louder as you hit more home runs. If you start missing they quiet down again.

    Yes but this is an added sound file that is playing in the background. It's very loud. Even if I missed all the hits it keeps playing. When I hit a run I can hear the audio byte of the cheering but also the loud overlay of crowd noise.

    I don't care about the prizes, so I'm still digging it.
    (I guess I'm easily amused.)
    Just heard the midi version of Jeremy. How cute.

    My best effort was around 5500, 11 home runs, furthest HR was 502. Can't see it being possible to get more than 12.

    I say that PJ wipes the slate clean and figures out the bugs and runs this again.
  • demetriosdemetrios Posts: 93,951

    A tie for 3rd place. Though I'm not sure why the company IT hasn't deleted the first 2 listed with 21 & 24 HR's.

    I don't play video games.  But I was curious.
    I thought it was so slow and boring. I just don't get the appeal.

    Playing this game... it is the first time I have felt like myself in a long time.

    I got 30 second bonuses for hitting long runs.. I just couldn’t capitalize on the extra time

    This might have to do with your age. I grew up playing 8 bit. Hell, I remember when Pong was an exciting game.
    1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th
    1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California
    Nothing since then. I suck.

    My midlife crisis has consisted of restoring my NES and buying old games for it. This Let's Play Two 8-bit game combines three of my loves: Pearl Jam, baseball, and video games.

    Was sitting at 5775 and never got a 12th pitch.  I almost drop-kicked my computer

    I had one glitchy game where I somehow got 14 pitches.  I missed homers on a few pitches and just let the game run.  About shit myself when I saw the 13th and 14th pitches get thrown.  Haven't seen it again.

    That quick pitch on the first pitch that occasionally happens....anyone manage to hit that out?  I don't even get the bat on it.  The game starts and then it is going by you.  No wind up!  :lol:

    If you swing and miss or not swing at all the pitches come faster.  So you can get a lot
    more than 12 pitches but there is only time for 12 hits at most.
