Alas, I failed to win again. The darts was a wash. Euchre – we won the round robin and got the bye, but were ousted immediately by a lone hand thanks to Greg. Only 1 point there. Poker – well, in the 1/2 hr you have to make a move I didn’t hit any cards that could be played against a table that stays in on every hand. Ping Pong was a surprise as Doaner and I made it to the finals by upsetting the favourites (Rico and Tiger). So that garnered me 3 instead of 1. So a 4 pt finish which is average at best. Moving further in Euchre would have helped get me on the podium.
Next year I’ll man up and do the log saw (if I draw a good partner).
Anyway, it was another year of tradition and predictable schedule which is what lures me to Wonderboy: same people, same location, same weather, same schedule, same everything. It’s a nice way to shut off the mind if only for a little while.
Wonderboy has gone high tech. Along with the website, we now post standings realtime-ish. Expect this feature to get a major overhaul for next year that shows more detail regarding the in-game progress.
We also Twitter
Next year, expect to see live webcasts as we attempt to bring the Wonderboy to you. It also will be useful for the lazies that can’t make their way to the basement to watch the games live. They can now sit in the comfort of the main room and watch the events on the 55 inch LCD.
We’re hoping to someday create a Wii version of Wonderboy. Then our Mii’s can do all the work!
