Glad you made it on Barf Boat, Blue! Whew!

Today's was easy peasy. I actually got the score by playing through several levels, then for kicks, did wheelies on level 3-1, as it's super easy to do at the beginning there.

Siniri, thanks for pointing out the high score list on this. I didn't realize that while the avatar score is so high, the top 100 is so relatively low! I'm no longer worried about it. It'll just be a matter of being carefully patient.

Some notes:
You usually get a present right when you hit 50 points (I think it's been there every time I've played and gotten to 50), but then after that, they are definitely rare.
I still rarely use the angle shots unless necessary to keep him from waking, as they still take longer to shoot at than the straight shots. If there's a freeze on an angle, keep in mind that you will not necessarily have time to get 3 full shots in before the guards start moving again! (Usually, on the straights, you can.)
The shield goes away as soon as you hit him from a different location. If you shoot 4 times from the same location, the shield turns solid and is permanent for the rest of the game. So, hit 3 times in one spot, and as soon as the shield shows up and flashes, move to a different spot for your next shot.

Double Dare day: Chadley's AAA's Revenge Score is 25. Not so bad, but better than I've ever done so far.

After several multiple attempts, I manage... 28! YAY. Submit score. "Please Wait"... Fantastic. Score does not go through.

For 1 minute. I let it sit and waited. and waited. It finally went through. Nice.

DONE :D :D :D

100% Chadley, 100% on the first day! All Team Challenges Completed! (Thanks Siniri!)

Woo Hoo. Can't wait for my MegaSuperb prize that never arrives :P

Congrats, Blue! I also defeated Chadley - lying down in bed since I couldn't bother sitting up for such a low score. At least it wasn't a ridiculous score.

It's not MegaSuperb if you defeated him on the day-of... It's the grand prize! And TNT dropped that distinction after the 2008 fiasco, anyway (adding in the same-day prizes instead).

Wow. 25?! Just...wow.

Well, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YmMNpbFjp0.


Guess that's it for this year. The news says
Next Monday, April 10th, will be your last day for gaming.
I wonder if that means there's a surprise day, or if they goofed in the news? The FAQ definitely lists today as the last day.

Otherwise, I look forward to seeing what ridiculously over-powered weapon we end up with for the final prize.

It will be the MegaSuperb Blaster that delivers 1,000 icons of damage in the first hit. Everyone gets one.

This Mega Blaster will vaporize everything in its path

Congrats all!

I received same as Siniri :)

Noting of course that no new site theme was received, since it isn't new for 2017 and I already have the DD Theme.

Ditto on the prizes. :) The stamp is (not surprisingly) going for several million nps.

Chadley was cheating and his scores will still so relatively low? Wow. Just...wow.
