My dad threw a perfect 890 at Wii Bowling !

I purchased a Wii for Christmas and had a lot of fun with it until about March this year. Then 'the fun' wore off for me a bit and I stopped playing. At that time my dad (age 51) took over my room and started playing Wii-bowling constantly.

But seriously, every night when he came home he started playing for an hour or so, just Wii-bowling. I told him about that guy who threw a perfect 890 at the Power Throw game, and he was so impressed by that, that he wanted to throw one himself. I had never seen so much passion from my dad for a videogame-achievement, because he's not really interested in games per se. So after a couple of hundred tries he got himself like a nice 750 score, but around May he started to get progressively better, always asking me to keep my camera close so I could take pictures of his achievements.

In July he worked himself up to a decent 842 score, but it was at a practice session with another Mii-character he threw 9 strikes in a row. I ran upstairs with my camera to film his final throw, but he friggin' missed it! I know it sounds lame but that was one of my most intense videogame moments of all time, from Wii-sports of all games.

August 3rd 2007 will be known in my family now as Judgement Day, the day my dad actually threw it: 890. I was sitting downstairs when all of a sudden he yelled so hard I thought he was going to die, but no, he actually threw the damn thing. It was like Christmas came early for him. I was so damn impressed I couldn't believe it. Earlier that week I sarcastically told him not to use the 91-pin cheat because that would be like cheating (he couldn't throw that anyway).

I guess it took him like 5000 to 6000 tries in total, over a period of about 5 months. The best thing probably is that he threw it while sitting in a chair making the most non-bowling movements ever. That's right, like a toolbox (thank Penny-Arcade for that one). Anyway the proof is out there, it's perfect Nintendo PR-material , but I just wanted to share it with you guys.
