Even If I Cheat I Wouldn’t Beat Him

written by John Chow on June 19th, 2007

Remember that basketball shooting game from the Thermaltake party at Computex Taipei?

There was a basketball shooting game at the party. It’s pretty much the same as the ones you see at an amusement park. The game is a lot of fun and I was able to score a high of 145 points. However, I noticed the high score was a crazy 268 points. No matter how hard I tried, I never came close to beating it. So, I got evil with it. Watch the video to see how I racked up 275 points in two minutes.

By being evil with the game, I was able to break the record. However, no matter how evil I get with it, I highly doubt I would be able to beat this guy. Watch the video and you’ll see what I mean. Thanks to Ed Lau for the link.

I actually considered that he might’ve be an android or something…unbelievable! And we didn’t even get to see his face (maybe he had 2 pair of eyes like he had 2 pairs of hands).

That is insane! Wonder why the NBA hasn’t picked him up?

I think why NBA Players can do that is just because NBA Players are the way too tall to bow down taking the balls and then shoot it away.

that guy is not tall enough, that makes him easier to play the game.

well.. i think ;)

he’s impressing anyway

In this case, “cheating” could just as well mean “resourcefulness.” :twisted:

Could’ve practiced on a regular miniature sized back-door ring, too.

Ed Lau said on June 19th, 2007 at 5:42 pm

Well to be fair, he’s shooting so rapidly that the machine is glitching. Notice that sometimes it’s counting one basket as two or more because the ball going through the basket is hitting the ball that went through just before it and is staying in line with the counting sensor.

…probably.

that is really crazy I wonder how good that guy is at real basketball… I know a way you can beat his score though, just rig the system (mod the counter so that it gives you like a 100 baskets for 1 real basket or something like that)

Reply to this comment

Big deal! I used to be able to throw balls like that while being drunk, naked and breathing next to the south side of a north bound yak.

Ahhh…. those were the days!

Now he just needs to monetize that video by getting it up on Metacafe and such. He’s missing out on some nice cash by having it on Google Video.

Shine on,
