how do you minimize it? just alt and tab or what?

[dweezy1688]

@Deadeyes121 Windows+d works well, or the minimize button of the window. I don't recall if its there. If it is there, and you just can't get to it, just alt+tab to release the mouse cursor then click it.

@dweezy1688 This doesn't work for me on windows 7. It always stops the music and gives me the 'resume' screen on returning.

[dweezy1688]

@WalterSear I'm running Win7. So minimize, the game and bring it back up. Then when you get the music to cut out, keep the game in focus. You can't do anything else with your computer at this time. Just let the game play out until you get the achieves.

Had to listen to Justin Bieber to do this... I should get an extra prize for that.

[dweezy1688]

@ThysiosX Maybe it should be an achievement: I Survived Justin Bieber 5/10/15/20min.

TO FORCE THE MUSIC CUT OUT AND THE NO RESPAWN BUG TO OCCUR, DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET WHILE MINIMIZED AND THEN DIE

Game over: Your time... 9:59... Oh fuck it, i am cheating.

@dweezy1688 Well now you're just being ridiculous, we all know its impossible to listen to Justin Bieber for more 5mins.

[HusseinK1988]

[FoxPeelsDammit]

Thanks a lot for this, mate!

[GofretSketches]

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! first i survived 16 mins on the christmas radio and nothing happened. i can get the other achievements but no christmas survives. then i tried to use this and waited 20 mins but still nothing! wtf?

[finalsin7]

Hmm. On Win7, performing any kind of minimise action activates the pause menu. Did you run it windowed or fullscreen?

[Varsuvias]

Thank you so much! The thought that I was going to have to play this horrendous seizure inducing game for 10 minutes... Guh... but thanks to you I got it without playing! Awesome!
