Balkhis vs. John Chow at Izeafest
Well, as you guys know that I was at Izeafest. During our breaks, we spent time in the play room which has a Wii Console. I asked John Chow to play a bowling game with me. John said that he would beat me. I said ok lets see. So it was a friendly challenge type game.
Now before you guys jump to any conclusions, I want to tell you that John told me that he used to bowl in real life. He had his own bowling ball and shoes. If you watch the video and the score, you can clearly tell that he was whopping my ass in the beginning. I was trying to throw all the hook shots which wasn’t working. John said, Simplicity is the best.
But if you know me, I say Creativity is the best. Well, it didn’t work in the beginning, but sure as heck in the end… I snatched the victory from him by hitting two strikes and a 9 in the last frame. Look at the score and the video.. John it was a fun game. Maybe we can have a rematch sometime in a real life bowling game.
So lets check out the score:
