I'm a better golfer.

The Summer of Wii Sports Extravaganza continues on with Wii Sports Golf: Target Practice! Despite having already done this, my performance wasn't the greatest when I started this platinum this time.

And yeah as I expected, I struggled at first. Couldn't even consistently get the first 2 to be 100s. They were just short or I blasted the fucking ball out of orbit. And even when I did get things going, I would fail miserably. Several times I couldn't even get the first shot down. My swing would be way too weak. About 10 minutes in I actually did have something going. But it was quickly game over when I had a 22 MPH wind at my back and I already used up all my 50s. So... restart. After that, there were a lot of restarts. And I thought for sure that I wasn't going to get this platinum this go around. About 20 minutes in I had another good run. But I once again used my 50s too early and I had another fucking 24 MPH wind at my back. Nearly a half hour in now, I have a run starting with 4 100s. Definitely a better start than before. I would get 2 50s and another 100. So of 3 more scores to get, I needed at least 1 100 and 2 50s. And with a 16 MPH wind going upwards this time, I was able to get another 100. So all I needed was 50s. Of course I had a 22 MPH wind right to my back. And of course I red rocket my fucking swing. So yep, it was a good run but... the ball... landed on 50... uh.. thank you 22 MPH wind to my back. The last shot had a 24 MPH wind going up and left. There was a shot. pun totally intended. I took a deep breath... swung my club... and the ball landed on 50. Giving me the 800 points for the platinum! When I went for this platinum last time, it took me 3 hours and 20 minutes to get it. This time, only 46 minutes and 46 seconds. That sure is a big improvement.

Given I had time left to kill, I spun the wheel and it landed on Wii Sports Resort Basketball 3 point contest. I honestly didn't know how to feel about this one. But very quickly I found out. My first run... wasn't great. I only got 15 but it gave me 109 experience. But after that... oh boy... I could not for the fucking life of me make a damn basket. There would be times where I would completely miss a shot from a set of basketballs. Not one went in the fucking basket. And very early in there were a lot of restarts. It felt like there was a sheet of glass on top of the basket. I did complete another run but only got 10 points. Which gave me only 38 experience. I have a feeling I might temporarily forfeit this superstar. Which is sad to say given I just started it. There would be times where my character didn't even want to shoot the damn ball. He just wiggled his hands in the air like he didn't care. No matter how I seemed to shoot the ball, I just absolutely could not make buckets. Every now and then a ball would score. But I was incredibly inconsistent. And it just came to a point where I couldn't even get past the first set without restarting and I was starting to get quite pissed off. But even after that, I still somehow managed to end with 559 experience points. Over 25% of the way through to superstar. But like I said, it's probably going to get very tough later on.

Maybe I should have Poofesure come over and do a couple perfect games for me.
