Dammit! I'm going to be doing renovation during all of my free time this week.

I've managed to get through the entire week and pick up the whole street in subscribers before!

Ah, I didn't notice this before. I'm actually halfway decent at paperboy, lemme go put together a few scores.

e: ugh. I'm out of batteries. Like, totally out. I'll leave my NES on and see if I can't borrow someone's camera later...

its not that bad. i just lost on Saturday and had 112k points. here's a couple tips i've figured out:
-mailbox gives you over twice as many points as the doorstep.
-plus, you can stack points by getting both the doorstep and the mailbox.
-don't worry so much about getting your houses, as getting points. so, break as many windows, trees, lawn things as you can.
-white houses don't give you points for breaking their windows, so don't.
-if it moves, it doesn't give you points, so try to avoid throwing at them.
-avoid the road whenever possible

i think someone could easily get 130k on this one.

Not only is 130k possible, but so is 131,150

I think I'm gonna stop here. This was a pretty good run. Probably only missed out on 5k or so.

Wow, nicely done. That's probably as close to a perfect game as you can get.

You should really tape that one and send it in to Twin Galaxies.

it is actually possible to score more. we found the trick is missing houses on pourpose, specifically the certain house with 6 windows in a row on the right end of the house plus a few more windows on the left of the house. so as long as you have enough papers you can score as much as 2,000+ points from 1 house instead of the 750 you get for delivering there paper... pretty clever. lol

Whoa. Yeah, I've never really milked this one for points, since I was more interested in just beating the game.
