For someone that likes Ford and NASCAR, I figured you for a Miller Lite guy!  

I never said I liked Ford, and I never said I don't drink me some Miller Lite😜
 



I was referring to skinny, but I drive a Ford Fusion and I've never turned down a Miller Lite.  

Ford rules! miller light can suck it! miller high life, yes. natty light, yes, 
 



Natty Light? At least I'm not the only one that does their day drinking at the corner gas station.  

lol. 10 am break time when i worked at the boat yard. natty ice, busch.... at the corner gas station bullshitting in front of tge store with the 1/2 homless folk! 
 
It is very strange to me how similar some of us are🤣

15 - Addams Family Values
16 - Lagoon
17 - Lord of the Rings Vol 1
So what's #3 on the list?  I've actually only played all the way through and beat 3 of those games.  I need to play more of my games to completion lol

Do they have to ship in water from other states to brew with?

I'm gonna laugh if I fall to 9th. Double Dragon II and Life Force were the only other two weeks I half-assed it and I got 8th and 9th. Moral of the story, go 100% or don't even bother

I haven't posted my score yet cuz I'm being lazy. It's on my phone, but I have to like... click buttons and stuff.

The problem with this one is that it's so much longer than those other 2 that's it's hard to gauge what is "enough" and what isn't.

i think i spent an extra day on it because when scary posted his score it was the same one i had gotten already so that's why i asked if there was anymore points possible, when he said yeah it was just a matter of finding out where

but then i spent these last two days trying to find more than that

With so few people posting scores, it should be interesting to see how far I get knocked down the leaderboard this week😑

Managed to get a tiny bit more than my first time playing. Actually kinda sad I didn't beat it by more than this, as I swear I tried harder. Ah well.

Score: 90,390

Quoted for truth. I've been playing this game since it came out and I'm slightly ashamed I couldn't put up a clear in the week. Still, no regrets though, 6-month old at home completely takes priority.
