This is the thirtieth post in our Game of the Day series.

A lot of PAX is waiting in lines, at least for me. I am only a casual gamer and the primary draw is therefore meeting my heroes up close and in person, or being as near as possible in their panels. This means getting in line relatively early for a choice position. I got in line for the Omegathon around 3:30 after having gotten my Wang Fu shirt signed (original first edition, yeah I'm that old) and it didn't actually start until 6:30. The game revealed, however, was a shocker: Skee Ball!

This ended up being especially great, because my sister and her boyfriend (who lived in and grew up in, respectively, New Jersey) were there. It's a game somewhat synonymous with that state (Chasing Amy anyone?). My girlfriend and I are also big fans, a game we can easily both agree and compete on. It requires a weird kind of flow and anti-precision to trounce and obviously more physicality than gamers may be used to. As such it provided an interesting challenge to two very skilled Omeganauts.







I apologize that I don't have the whole thing recorded or even nicely stitched together, but I do have the winner!







Who doesn't love tossing wooden balls?
