He means in the Red houses

[@sprybug]

When he said that, I asked myself, "Wait, that's not how I remember it." Don't you have to be perfect and deliver to all the subscribers to gain a new one? That's how I remember it. Did James makes a boo-boo or am I just remembering it wrong?

O James tinha mudado um pouco a personalidade do AVGN. Parecia que ele estava querendo que o Nerd fosse como ele é pessoalmente. Tanto que ele ria das coisas, falava como se fosse um vlog, não tinha mais os "teatros" etc.. Mas devo dizer, ainda bem que ele voltou a esse estilo clássico. Não dá pra descrever mesmo, está muito bom! :D

[@MrJans3n]

Totally agree, it felt a lot better than most of the recent episodes. The nerd has been hit or miss for quite some time, unfortunately, but this one was seriously great. I think it has something to do with how relatively simple the jokes were, as well as how well timed it all was.

I loved this game as a kid and became a paperboy. I can confirm that by rolling your papers up a certain way resulted in a superior throwing weapon. It was more like throwing a hatchet. I prided myself on my ability to throw from the street or sidewalk accurately. I loved paper boxes because they were a challenge. My route was around 130 papers and I hated Sunday Papers...

[@dkupke]

In retrospect, this was really a horror game. You've got a kid delivering newspapers in a neighborhood where there are graves in the front yard, lawn statues and tires move on their own as if animated by telepathy or demonic possession, mutants peek up out of the sewers, crazed people come running out of their houses, and the grim reaper is lurking around every corner.

"do you wanna know how to turn nonsubscribers into subscribers? break their windows." -AVGN

[@notyoursavior78]

You get points for breaking non subscribers windows but I also thought you needed a perfect delivery to get subscribers back. I actually played PaperBoy 2 for the SNES the most. I don't think it was very different than this other than a few new obstacles.

[@BrandyArts]

The Nerd himself has managed to break over two million people's windows, therefore, he has over two million subscribers. Makes sense.

[@ojtheviking]

That's how I ended up subscribing to his channel.

[@yeleyfan18]

I remember when I was 6 with Midway Arcade Treasures 1 on my PS2, playing Paperboy and purposefully destroying windows and running over flowers. Really fun, and I loved the game. I may be 16, but that's probably one of my favorite childhood games.
