Not really amazing comebacks, but for some reason in Wii Bowling I seem to get 4 or 5 strikes in a row at the very end almost every time. And half the time I'm losing until that point so it's a comeback. I'm still trying for that 300, but so far my high is 258. I guess my girlfriend has the better victory story, me being the avid video game player/"house champ," her never playing video games before (save SMB1), and beating me 6 times in a row.

Bowling a 300 definitely tops my achievements.

I also hit a grand slam in baseball and was very disappointed that I didn't get anything more than the typical "Home Run" spiel/graphic :(

Has anybody ever gotten a hole-in-one in golfing? I think that would be pretty impressive.

The other day I won a series (strikers, 2 player co-op) after a 7 minute game with the score being 0-0, finally getting a goal well into overtime! It was awesome. We need more online games like strikers! I don't know what i'm yelling about!

I don't know that I've had my Wii long enough to have a real crowning achievement on it (I only got it on the 10th).

My overall favorite gaming achievement is an easy choice, though -- the no-hitter I pitched with Greg Maddux in MLB 2K6. The runner up is probably my 8-run comeback in MLB 07, which included a game-tying grand slam with two out in the bottom of the 9th.

My top non-sports achievement was finishing the main quest in Oblivion (PC). My PC is a pile of crap, so it kept hanging, making the end of the game insanely hard.

Dammit. With that Rocky photo, I totally thought we were going to be seeing an announcement for "Mike Tyson's Punch Out: Wii Edition"

Soda Popinski, right in the kisser!

Well one of my biggest achievement was beating a friend in wii tennis after losing the first 2 games, and suddenly I came back at the last 3 and won the match 3-2... it was great!

Getting a strike in the last round of the bowling mini-game in wii sports. I Rolled it all the way down wall and when i saw all the pins just fall over, i was overjoyed.

Also, beating the Yoshi Challenge and the Bowser Challenge in Mario Strikers. I beat the Yoshi Challenge by myself, so i had a great sense of accomplishment. The Bowser Challenge was 3 man effort, so we were all ecstatic when we finally beat him.

I've bowled a 260-something, but 300 is still elusive. Bowling and Tennis were the only Wii Sports games my group ever really played though.

Not anything real exciting, but just the other day I came back from a 0-17 score in Madden to beat the Colts (CPU) 21-20. I got two interceptions and several 3rd down stops to lift me up in the second half.

it was pretty sweet

I DID get a hole in one on the 8th hole in Wii Golf. It was incredible.

I got all golds (some perfects) for PilotWings 64. Then the save battery in the cartridge got shorted and I could never do it again.

Hole-in-One on hole 4 of Wii golf, as well as some tails of dominion online in Strikers Charged (Once i beat a guy 15-1, but was mad when it only gave me 20 points for the win instead of 25)

Dry Bones is the cheap-ass players' choice on that game, damn i hate him
