He's on fire!
This past Sunday, Andrew cleared out some space in the back room and bought the indoor hoop! The progression from messy storage room to cool game room has begun!
We kicked things off with two games of HPAN with me, Andrew, and Hubert. Ayeh's long-distance sharp-shooting helped him win round one, and no one could match my wacky shots in round 2. Hubert could only manage two second-place finishes in the game that was named after him.
Naturally, we followed that up with a game that Andrew and I invented (we really should write a book). Two people shoot at the hoop simultaneously from opposite elbows, and you get points for every shot you make while on fire. As everyone knows, you get on fire by making three shots without your opponent making any in that sequence. Andrew and I were both hitting at a good clip, so it was rare for either of us to let the other get on fire, let alone hit a fourth in a row, but Ayeh finally pulled it off, and we called it quits.
So what's next? I bought the dartboard, Ayeh bought the hoop...Hubert is getting a grasscourt volleyball net...so I guess that makes it Gerald's turn to add to the glorification of our house. What do you have in store for us, Gerald?

i'm currently researching for deals on a large pole...
i hate these skill games
can't we just have some games where height is an extreme advantage?
very jealous. is the construction good? should i get one for myself?
The construction is very solid. I put the thing together; it's sturdy.
But the electronic sensor isn't great. Misses a few made shots. We just use it for the hoop and leave the electronics turned off.
Well, we moved a light into the room, and the sensor works better now, though it still misses the occasional shot.
We added some new games. Free throw contest is pretty standard, but Knockout is crazy. Surprised we haven't broken anything yet. We busted a window in Belmont playing Ice Nuts.
"can't we just have some games where height is an extreme advantage?"
you mean, sports?
hehe. but they're not real sports; they're just games!
Seriously, what are you complaining about, you freakishly tall Asian?
go buy your volleyball net then.
or pick any other sport. height is an advantage in all of them.
