I love playing video games. WW2 first person shooters, racing games, barbarian hackem slashems. I don't play them a lot....which would explain why I am not really good at them. But, I still love playing them...gives me a chance to do things I can't legally do in real life, like drive 200 mph the wrong way down the road and shoot Nazis in the head.
I have always blamed my poor video games skills to cheating...the Nazis cheat, the Japanese cheat, the Ogres cheat....all the bad guys cheat. They really don't cheat, I just say they do so I would not be forced to admit that I suck at playing video games (but anyone who has watched me play video games knows the truth).
But tonight...I WAS CHEATED for real. Not once, not twice, not three times...4 times in a row. Cheated and cheated big time. Robbed of a 1st place finish in a Bass tournament in the process.
I was playing Hooked Again on the Wii system...which Deb likes for me to play since I can play it without having the surround sound cranked up and making a ton of noise.
So, there I was..on my Bass Boat, with 35 pound 5 ounces of Bass in my live well. I caught a small Small Mouth Bass, 1 pound, 7 ounces. Instead of it going into my live well, it was thrown back. Then I caught a 4 pound 10 ounce Small Mouth Bass, and it too was thrown back. Then another small Large Mouth...1 pound 4 ounces...and it was tossed back. Then I caught a 7 pound 9 ounce Northern Spotted Bass...but was only given credit for 3 pounds 4 ounces of it. My ending weight was 38 pounds 9 ounces....which put me in third place. If I had been given credit for the fish that were thrown back and for the full weight of the Northern Spotted Bass, I would have finished first in the tournament and moved into first place in the Rally Points.
Nazis and Ogres and Toyota Supras may not cheat...but FISH DO!
OBIO
