[Miktiky]

The virginity is strong in this one.

[EWQMinesweeper]

@Miktiky: well then stop trying to act funny by posting useless comments, lose some weight, start brushing your teeth regulary, get some secondary education, waste less time online and start meeting real people. maybe this will help you getting laid.

[xx840]

@EWQMinesweeper dayummmmm dude NICE ONE THUMBS UP, i didn't even fiish reading you'r comment and i was laughing out loud literally haha

[g95n]

minesweeper level: Asian

[EWQMinesweeper]

@g95n: FYI all world champions of this game so far have been european. the elite is almost entirely european and the broader elite is split up evenly between europe, china and the rest of the world. additionally, i'm tired of these worn-out cliches.

[Callifunga]

@EWQMinesweeper My god you take everything seriously

[EWQMinesweeper]

@Callifunga: look again at the comments, then look at my replies. i see nothing wrong in them.

[Chromiumism]

It's impossible to get into a guessing part in minesweeper (it's coded not to let you lose on the first click). Put some damn brainpower into it.

[EWQMinesweeper]

@Chromiumism: follow your own advice. you are WRONG!

[jaxford25]

Yeah I do this too when I don't have enough to do at work :P

[sorin1996ify]

how i can do this former?

[netknight]

Is this the max possible by the program, or did you edit it to go even further? It's been a while since I last played it. x_X

[jiafwang]

Oh you are the new god of minesweeper. I'm still struggling in the advance mode. Can some expert plz give me a few hints? I assume I missed something since I have no problem cracking the intermediate level but when I get to the advance level I felt like there's a lot of guess work. By looking at this video i think there's no guess work involve then? Whats the logic? Someone help?

[fosterslover]

@jiafwang

As the map size increases the probability of needing to guess inevitably increases, but very rarely should this become an issue until the very end. One trick to keep in mind is to use the process of elimination in placing certain mines. For example, if you have a 1 next to a 2 along a flat edge, the two mines that are next to the 2 cannot also be next to the 1, so you can mark for sure that there is a mine at the square touching the 2, but not touching the 1.

[drew1oo]

whoever did this could never get bored at the office

[david52875]

@TheNightwishsoul when you click on a square the number is the number of mines that are around the square.

[affy159]

god damn, how do you do that.

[stickalo998]

*sees the bored* o.o

[mw2killaful]

The most i completed in this game was... nothing

[MucusFelidae]

Asians can do it.

[sloma111]

omg! so slow PC!!! so long it takes in seconds! fiuff....

[mcmedley789]

its not that hard once you learn how to do it. it dont matter how big the puzzle is it matters if you know what your doing

[EWQMinesweeper]

@mcmedley789: if it ain't that hard then show me how you finish such a game. although even a 5y old can learn how to play this game, it takes years of practice to reach perfection. looks simple, takes skills.

[Silent33091]

@EWQMinesweeper

Mcmedley is right, it isnt that hard to solve that for some1 who knows hot to plays minesweeper, what matters is the speed and your speed is decent :D

[zzacckk]

@EWQMinesweeper I use to think angry gamers were funny.. but an angry minesweeper? .... HAHAHAHA

[ausauspatpat]

@mcmedley789 yeah, it's not that hard, BUT you can very easily get put into a situation where you are forced to just guess and hope you're right.

[Wc3Helper]

@dustingg6c2 math freak or else NEEEERRRRRRDDDDDD ;D

[EWQMinesweeper]

@Wc3Helper: what on earth? even a 10 year old kid could tell you that...

[Wc3Helper]

@EWQMinesweeper sss it's a secret... lol xD

[darksenna]

3 words: what the fuck o_O

[oreocookies32]

@EWQMinesweeper

owned.... all i can say

:)

[1337illusion]

idk how did i get here o.O

[Spaghettitron]

Luckily it didn't crash...

[gingerkidsayshi2u]

virgin.... all i can say

[OneManKnows]

@gingerkidsayshi2u OWNED

[TTTCmGalante187]

@gingerkidsayshi2u YOU JUST GOT BURNED MUTHA FUCKA!!! xD and gratz on the former record

[coolgames14]

@gingerkidsayshi2u faggot........fagggggggggggggg­ggggot........................­.fagggot cant do shit

[knappbryan13]

@gingerkidsayshi2u  BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scootfd3s]

@gingerkidsayshi2u lol you look like an idiot

[Akira654]

holy shit

[T1mm0s]

@dustingg6c2 And where is it that he actually claims he wants to play at expert level? Nowhere. So stfu

[LePandaRoux]

Now, that is something.

[seokminidiot]

why are these mines even here?

[EWQMinesweeper]

@dustingg6c2: bah! read the description before trying to be smart. just read the description.

[EWQMinesweeper]

@EWQMinesweeper: but i guess i'm expecting too much from someone who listens to 'music' (no, kesha isn't music...)

[YourZarathustra]

This is: 663 seconds /(55*75/[16*30])= 77 seconds for a 16 by 30 board. Not fast enough.

[EWQMinesweeper]

@YourZarathustra: and you would expect haile gebreselassi to finish in berlin in only a little more than an hour? are you arrogant or just ignorant? have you ever solved exp in under 100s? probably not. so stfu!

[grant1nt3ns3]

@EWQMinesweeper lol youre the first angry minesweeper nerd i've seen, good work.

[tigerstar216]

nice job, too bad there's a limit to the amount of mines and size and you exceeded every single one of them...

[EWQMinesweeper]

@tigerstar216: ????

[ih8txtrytn]

I would sweep 500 tiles, and I would sweep 500 more, to be the man who sweeps a thousand tiles to blow up with just four more!

[BadPeaceDK]

That is skills.

[Trinitrotoluo]

This has more mines than Bosnian terrain!!

[maxythekIng]

I've got a Question (sorry for my bad english)

When I'm playing Minesweeper there's sometimes a situation where you need luck.

A 50% chance of hitting a Mine. How do you solve that big game without getting into such a situation?

[EWQMinesweeper]

@maxythekIng: the answer is: play a whole lot. sooner or later you will stumble upon a situation where you have to guess and 50% of those guesses will hit a mine. play until you get a game where you either don't need to guess or get all the forced guesses right.

so actually you don't really need luck - you need patience ;)

[MarxistMudkip]

I really dig minesweeping, and i was wondering what program do you use, because i find with xp and windows 7 minesweeper, i am usually forced to guess. Is this part of the game, or is there an emulator that can avoid this.

Fucking awesome vid btw :D

[EWQMinesweeper]

@MarxistMudkip: forced guesses are a part of the game. the mines are randomly spread over the board and everything that interferes with that is cheating.

most patterns where the average sweepers finds themselves forced to guess are actually solvable...

[EWQMinesweeper]

@MarxistMudkip: forced guesses are a fundamental part of the game. the mines are spreaded randomly, so everything that would eliminate forced guesses could be considered as cheating. if you're not happy with windows minesweeper and look for a better version i recommend "minesweeper arbiter".

[adambutt111]

do u ever find urself guessing which square? because i kow how to play and sumtimes it can be either squares and its just pure chance

[now2402]

There is only squares which have 1, 2 or 3 mines beside. Easy to solve.

[EWQMinesweeper]

@now2402: you're already able to count to 3, nice. next month you learn 4, 5 and 6, right?

[solly57]

@EWQMinesweeper haha 4,5, and 6 that was funny.....

[singingmagpie93]

holy sh..! oO

[lolhed]

incredible, just one question. are you human?

[EWQMinesweeper]

@lolhed. 99.99% sure i am human :P it's just a lot of practice that i can play several hours at this speed without breaks - one time i played 9-10 hours in just 1 single day and my hand hurt badly after that. but a few hours every day shouldn't be a big problem.

[Cazilboy13]

@EWQMinesweeper do you have a life outside of this game? thats going to get you nowhere in life, and is a pointless skill to have. and have you ever seen a real life woman vagina/ breasts? im not trying to be a douchebag, i trust you know what that is, i am only asking becuase you only get one life, and do you REALLY waste it playing minesweeper all day long?

[EWQMinesweeper]

@Cazilboy13: sure do i have a real life. it's not like i spent 12 hours every day in front of my computer like WoW addicts or other gamers do. i consider playing minesweeper as a hobby: i play whenever i have time for it. sometimes i play 2 or 3 hours in a row, some days i don't play at all. i'm so good at minesweeper because i enjoy playing that game and played it regulary since i was 4 years old. but i think it should be obvious that real life is more important than playing video games. tbc...

[EWQMinesweeper]

@Cazilboy13: it's not like i am an anti-social being and never leave my room because i want to play minesweeper all the time. quite the opposite. during summer i spend almost every night out with my friends drinking beer in a park or go to concerts or am at a party.

i'd also like to clarify that minesweeper did get me somewhere in life. chatting and discussing with other minesweeper players improved my english so that i got all A-grades in english class during high school and college....tbc

[EWQMinesweeper]

@Cazilboy13: at the 2009 and 2010 minesweeper world championships i met several other world-class minesweepers and i assure you that none of them were nerds.

to make it short: i'm a professional minesweeper player and know how to keep my addiction to the game under control. i play almost every day and i sure would like to play 5 hours every day. but i know that this would be a waste of time and because of university i'm happy when i have 30min every day to sweep...hope that answers it all.

[Scatty2010]

If you would have put a flag in the rong place ONE TIME, you probably would have cried when you got to the end. LOL XD

[EWQMinesweeper]

@Scatty2010: not really. having lost 33 est. 37 and LC 39 on exp (not to mention 4.40 3BV/s LC) i could take this very easy.

[seadude159]

wow if you just hit 1 mine at the end you have to do it all over again, that would suck..

[IronfistmanDV]

hhaha youre crazy

[M0PSTER]

wow this makes me realize how bad i am at minesweeper...my best time on intermediate is 157seconds. I did just start playing a few days ago though. I haven't practiced for 2500+ hours like EWQMinesweeper here. You are very good though, keep it up!

[fyflishfy47]

I honestly don't know how to play this game.. What's the numbers mean? And how do you know which one you put a flag on? Please explain to me.

[EWQMinesweeper]

there are plenty of tutorials on youtube...

[TB674]

@fyflishfy47 if the number is three, there will be three mines around that number

[crazykirby97]

@fyflishfy47 The number tells you how many mines are touching it and you mainly hope not to touch one, usually the beginning is luck.

[ManOfSteel2627]

how come you knew what to click and what not to click?

[EWQMinesweeper]

practice?

[ManOfSteel2627]

a alot of practice i guess...

[EWQMinesweeper]

untill the making of this video about 1500 hours (but not more than 15 for this level in particular) and since then another >1000 hours

[ManOfSteel2627]

that's alot

[LilStinkyDude3]

@EWQMinesweeper ??? 2500 hours is 100 days worth of time

[EWQMinesweeper]

@LilStinkyDude3: and?

[sonotahippie]

i dont doubt it i tried it and did it in about 2x the time

[DisturbedMaggot100]

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

[Ecrilon]

Eh...the mine density is only 1/5 for this, which is actually LESS than the Expert setting in the windows version. It's really not that difficult. I feel that 200+ on the standard 24x30 is much more challenging.

[EWQMinesweeper]

"only 1/5"...solve a 50*50 with 20% density first, then we talk again!

you're mixing up 2 different styles of sweeping. my board has nothing at all to do with your attempts on solving high density boards. i rather go for board size with constant density.

and btw: 24*30 certainly rquires you to guess a lot more often than on my board =>solving your board is more a matter of luck while solving a board like mine requires skill and practice.

[EWQMinesweeper]

check my other videos, yesterday i uploaded videos of a 75*55 board with 851 mines (20.6303% density=more than expert)

[MKiller5]

pwnd

[DeadMansFilm]

Hey griffo2598, your a fagot, but good vid though!

[ChaoticSupernova]

How can you not make a mistake?!

[EWQMinesweeper]

practice...

[DeadMansFilm]

jesus, you must practice this for 5 hours every day for 10 years?

[EWQMinesweeper]

alltogether i think so far i've played this 55*75 setting not more than 20 hours and won it 2 times...

but of course there's quite a lot of practice on the standard minesweeper levels behind it ;)

i started playing minesweeper 13-14 years ago. started seriously playing 2.5 years ago...

[xmaxfactorx]

DAAAAAAAMMMM!!!

[t52n]

i'll hang myself xD

[Barrydaindy]

Good Job!

[010arman010]

wow.

[findlay27]

I can! Wel.... if I were to tone the mines down lol! Though this is definatly alot harder a game than it looks.

[EWQMinesweeper]

almost every board of this kind contains at least 1 forced guess. luckily this board had none.

so far i have won such a board only 2 times and each time i had been trying for several weeks to get a solvable board

[TAKEMONEY9]

many mines, many many many many mines, wish death upon me

[plexdudeblob]

Where do you get this? I'm relatively good (better than most people, and I suck compared to you XD) and I'd like to test my skills against this challenge.

[Blasphemangelicals]

n00b!!!! I play 100x100 niggah.

[EWQMinesweeper]

prove it, sucker! make a video of you finishing a larger board with the same density and upload it to youtube! otherwise: shut up!

[TwosComplement]

i think it was a joke...
