Sometimes in bowling it doesn't really matter if your team bowls well. If the other team decides to bowl out of their heads you will lose. I think bowling needs new rules allowing defense. Let’s see you get a strike as I hip check you into the next lane. Yeah, that would be fun. You have to juke around the D to get to the lane. Maybe you can pass the ball to an open teammate for an easy shot.
I don't know, I guess that's probably not going to happen. You have to rely on psychological defenses, get in the other team's heads. We spend so much time giving each other grief that we sometimes forget to do that part of the game. Oh well, at least we got free beer for hanging the house again (2 weeks in a row, whoo hoo).
I ended up shooting 641 with 3 consistent games of 214, 212 and 215. Nothing flashy. Not enough to win though.
Another month and my AppleTV device will show up. In the meantime I'm busy trying to rip all my dvd’s to our iMac so that I'll be ready when it gets here. I've been doing all the tv shows we have first and man is it slow. The software I use is great though, couldn't be easier to use. It's only available on the Mac though and is called HandBrake. If you have a Mac, give it a try.
I'm still undecided about getting a new video game system. I was convinced I would get the PS3 as soon as one was available but now I'm having doubts. First, it's $600, pretty high I feel. Second, there aren't that many games out for it yet. And third, the whole blu-ray vs hd-dvd deal has me concerned about investing in one technology and the other winning out.
I've thought about an Xbox 360 too but I have a couple issues with that as well. First, it doesn't support 1080p for the high def dvd's so the games will never be in that format. Ok, I can live with that. Second, Xbox doesn't have some of the Playstation games I love and I can't play any of my old PS games on it. But third, and most important, is that I hate, I mean hate, Microsoft. It would really be a moral dilemma for me to purchase a Microsquish product. Just as I've rid myself of the cable company I am also trying to rid myself of everything related to Microsoft. How can I justify getting an Xbox then? I can't.
How about the Wii you ask? I've played it. The novelty is there but I wouldn't want to play all my games that way. It would bore me after awhile. I'm not a 10 year old that doesn't get outside to play enough. I'm an adult and I want to sit on my ass and play my video games the way god intended.
So, for now, I'll just play my PS2 and enjoy what I have. I still remember the huge leap that was made from the PS1 to the PS2. Maybe I'll get another PS2 for the living room (I moved mine to the pub room in the basement). They're cheap now and still tons of games I haven't played.
That's it for now. Oh, one more thing… Happy Birthday Grinder, you old fart.
