Is there a medal for fastest upload? :-)

This was a short one for me apparently :/

There definitely should be!

Awesome, I was kinda getting board trying to beat WOTM06!:lol:

how can i get involved in one of these games? Do I need to download anything special. Just curious because I am trying to learn how to get more involved in the game. I have a friend who plays semi-frequently. I thought maybe we could do something like this together.

GOTMs are a solo performance. You can't really play with a friend except for discussion and advice. To play ...
