Awesome score Gilly! Supped my ass by a lot. My hands don't have as much stamina as I thought they did, haha.
I still broke 10k though. ^__^
Gilly's protips v. my protips:
1.) Do EXACTLY that. I disconnected off of all messengers before doing this. It would be a heartbreaker to get so far only to get messaged by someone.
2.) If you're going to do this song, put your wrists in as least of a compromising position as possible, because if you don't, your hands will be pretty much locked in place with no hopes of you stretching them out. I think that's why I got so many CBs.
3.) Don't do this song while tired is another thing I broke. I was kinda sleepy when doing this, although I can't say I finished sleepy, haha. The searing pain in my right hand kept me awake for at least another hour after doing this. xD
4.) If you can, make the room a bit darker so that the light coming from the room is the computer. This may stop tears from falling outta your eyes. I think I went about one hour in before the first tear even tried to pour out.
5.) Don't worry about TRYING to combo the patterns, play normally. If you try too hard to combo a certain section, just like a regular song, you will develop mind-blocks, a REALLY bad thing in a one hour song.
But yeah, again, Gilly--nice job, you beasted the hell out of it.
Yeah, the mind blocks resulted in the majority of my cbs, not really the pain. If you want to get a high combo on this, it must be at the beginning or else you will develop bad habits. I was lucky to get above 2k combo 3-4 times the second hour. My max combo on the second try was from the start, first hour, my combos went from 8k, to 4k, 7k, 2k, 300 (slipped), etc etc, but second hour, it was often more or less around 500-1k.
I actually don't agree with the dark room tip because it actually made me more tired being in the dark (or at least had the impression), and from my experience, I have tears swell up more quickly in the dark. This might not be the case for everyone though.
But yeah, I found the second hour extremely difficult for focusing because I lack sleep these days due to it being the end of the year, studying for exams, etc etc..
Also, you have to kind of be prepared mentally for a 1h54 song of playing an arrow game. Seriously guys, this will drive you crazy near the end, especially if you have no idea what time it is or how long is left. I personally used my watch which has 5 alarms, and put them at 30m, 1h, 1h20, 1h40, 1h54 so that I knew about how much time had passed and how much time was left.
I also often looked at the score at the bottom left which is a bad idea because it makes you lose your concentration and gives cbs and stuff and demoralises you most often. Be prepared with an open window or something to keep you cool because I started sweating (not a lot, but just enough to want to itch the head) about an hour in. Also, make sure someone else is in the house that way if the phone or door rings, you don't have to stop half way through to answer.
So I tried this and about 15 min I started having to go to the washrooom.
At 1 hour 30ish I couldn't hold it anymore so I quit out Fml

Removed a .gif image so your total signature size isn't well over 1MB. Keep this in mind for the future.
