Thanks a million everyone for your nice words and congratulations!
I will just answer some questions that some asked me , one after another as the posts went:

yes in fact I can never say exactly how many rounds each lure SHOULD hold (organic or nonorganic) , whether using two lures at the same time increases the time of cogs being lured, etc...
Btw I saw few times LOM holding only one or two rounds though it should keep cogs lured up to 5.. thas why I was also collecting and
massivelly using Stinky Ned and Nancy Gas, as they are more often than LOM (just because there are two of them
) and they hold cogs 3 rounds
So I would say that between lower organic and non-organic lures one can notice a difference (organic tend to miss much less) concerning blue magnet and goggles - I didn't spot a difference ... yet

awwww thats soooo sweet! Especially I consider the fact that your daughter found it so entertaining as one of the biggest compliments! Isn't the sparkle in child's eyes, or a smile or a laugh is a biggest reward for us adults!
btw it is your and andrews CFO solos that inspired me quite a time a go to go for my own one
Thanks a lot for it!

Manage to knock safe off just to get hit by gears again. Run around, stomp goons, knock safe off head again. Get hit with gears. lol over and over and over. Except I got too frustrated and never got a chance to get in that last shot that I needed--Grr!...

well in fact it is true it requires determination and even sometimes several attempts, for example during preparation for the CFO solo I soloed twice crane part (cogs part did with friends) both rather with minor problems, but after when I tryed to solo the whole CFO battle on my toon Rainbow - I failed TWICE! ok once I messed up with Fraps , I pressed on F12 (disable Fraps) instead of F10 (start/stop recording) and tryed to settle it during the crane part - which didn't help at all, because as you see especially at the end of the battle every second counts. My second CFO solo attempt - well I was just BAD, I didn't bring enough of damage to CFO before red goons arrived and then I was just swarmed by them (I was close though CFo was blinking red)
Those two misfortunate attempts "ate" all the sos and unite assets for soloing the cog/scele part on my toon Rainbow, but MAx still had several sos and unites (as I bring him to same boss battles together with Rainbow most of the times) So I didn't want to wait longer and collect the whole lot on rainbow again and did the solo fight as MAx, as you see 3d time lucky
So don't get discouraged by one unfortunate attempt, just continue and you will see - you will make it!

Thank you for sharing your solo with us thru your video. It gives people, like me, a chance to see what a good hit to the CFO looks like.  |
Thanks a lot Tammy! Several sos cards that MAx used were preciously gathered during sos shop runs with J. C. Poppenflap. Don't think that I will stop with sos shoping now! Hope there will be more organised sos shop runs by CCG members, or we can do sometime our own non-scheduled ones as well

thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the music too. No, music was not mixed by me. My user name DJ MAx comes from the name of my first toon MAx which you see in the video (MAx was started by my son initially) and DJ because I really like house, especially deep house music, some DJ mixes, acid jazz and some jazz in general. I always run house music or deep house radios when I play TT.
The tracks that I used in this video come from a cd called "Summerdaze" presented by NRK music, which includes tracks and remixes by miguel migs, nick holder, freeform five king britt, ian pooley, kings of tomorrow etc (btw some of those names don't tell me anything hee hee, I just listed them as it is on the cd cover
)
I picked those tracks because I like the way piano, saxophone and the rest is melted into latin rythms and vibes. Vibrative, relaxing and inspiring at the same time
...but music on my vp solo video was composed/mixed by Mr Red Bull btw

thanks a lot doc! Btw it is your vp solo video clips of the pie fight made me think: what a great idea it is to be able to record those moments of the game, so that it can be entertaining and serve as tips or boss fight examples! (not to mention that it made me understand the right position for the close stunn technique and made me go for the vp solo at the time as well!)

Well done!  |
Thanks a lot, Lady Freckles! Hope to see you during CCG runs! Now with all the remaining sos and unites - Max has to spend them somewhere!

and for all those ppl that are so negative
about this and saying its impossible and all
those screenshots saying that they were edited
wut do u say now
execellent job anyways

thanks! that was actually the reason I decided to record the whole solo crane fight - so to show that one doesn't need to be a super craner to be able to solo cfo , and also not to give up even when the situation looks like quite a "dead end" kind
I would be happy if we would have even more solos in the next weeks/months so that it will become so much on the 'daily basis', that one day it would be added as one of the ttasks to choose from TT HQ hee hee

Thanks a million! I hope we would have more players like you with your skills and courage, who don't jumps off elevators even during runs with randoms with only 4 toons standing!
Once again , big thanks and hugs to everyone!
Max soloed CFO (finally)
