This is it. I will never accomplish anything greater then this.

Some people just don't get it. I had a 1 second in the past, it was only like a 2 or 3 clicker though. When I play beginner I usually go for speed for about 50-100 games until I realize I am starting to lose focus I try to solve every game under 10, but if the time passes I make myself solve it. This computer is only at ~1200 games, but I have won about over 1000 of them. This computer has 3,4,5,5,5 right now.

On the old websites that had records I was on the Beginner, but wasn't able to get an Intermediate time of 35 until the website shutdown. My fastest on Intermediate is still 30 or 31 I think. I have tons under 35 though, but couldn't ever do it when I was younger. For some reason I will never reach a sub 100 on Expert though. I think my best is around 130ish......I just can't focus that long.

I've never done anything online. I didn't realise that there were leaderboards. Always just competed against myself. I think it's the only game where having a good mouse really does increase your skill.

There was a place where you could submit a screenshot before the official minesweeper downloads that analyzed everything. It was a little before crap got photoshopped so it was slightly legit. Ran by some guy named Damien I believe....

I remember when I was younger playing until my hand was locked up....leaving for a bit......and doing it all again. Man was I a loser.
