I DID say it was a "flawed performance"

The Round 13 death was
stupidity, I was trying to hurry up since time can run out fast on
that level when you're going for the bonus stars and the million-point
flag... so I dropped down in front of that rock thinking I could wipe
out the grunts fast enough, or even if I screwed up, they wouldn't hit
me... it happens sometimes, stand next to a rock and they'll charge at
you, but won't hit for some reason. This time they did.

(and why
was I "hurrying" anyway? So I could try to pick up any extra time
bonuses before Big Scary Blob of Death [tm] comes along, since once
the timer hits 0, all they're good for is a 2000 bonus... every second
counts since enemies are quite frequent on that round and let you
build your Rank bonus a bit)
<p>
and yes, the Round 17 leeching was pretty weak. Trust me, I was trying
NOT to die before Big Scary Blob of Death appeared.
