I had a bowling tournament on Sunday the 4th. It went ok, except the lanes had no oil to speak of, which makes it difficult to control your ball. I through a very slight hook on my ball, and without oil there's just no telling if my ball is going to do what it's designed to do. Last year they greased up the lanes so good all the balls came back practically dripping. I guess they made up for it by drying the hell out of the lanes...maybe next year they get it right and we have some nice medium oil.
The difficult thing about the tournament is you basically bowl 3 games in singles, then 3 games in doubles, and just wait to see where you end up.

I guess the point is its supposed to be fun, I don't even know if there are prizes or anything. Last year I placed 9th in doubles and 20th in singles. My average is up 30 pins this year so i was bowling right around that...168. I had 2 games over 200, a 201 and a 202. Not bad given the conditions. I will definitely bowl it again next year. My league is wrapping up in the next two weeks, and I am hoping I'm up for most improved bowler...checking the records, it looks like I might be...but who knows.

I also just started playing Chaser again. It's a cool game, if you haven't seen it check it out. What I really like about it is that you are dropped into the game and you learn what's happened and is happening to your character at the same time he does...so you don't feel like you really know what you are supposed to be doing. It's a typical FPS, but the animation is good, the AI is really good, and the weapons are a lot of fun to shoot.

Today I helped install DSL at my in-laws which was fun because I remember the first time I got DSL...I was checking out everything that was too slow to download on a normal 56k connection. Trailers, games, you name it. They wanted a wireless connection so I hooked up a 128 bit encrypted 802.1-G for them. Putting all that network training to good use.

I am planning on having an Easter online golf tournament with Links Championship Edition. It's a classic I have been playing since Links386 came out ages ago. I'm still upset about the swing meter, as I mentioned before, but I am getting used to it now...though I still think some of the distances are off, but that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Anyway, the tourney should be fun, I might even have some kind of prize purse...
