Prop bets are fun...

So Jake bet me $5 bucks that I wouldn't be able to beat the first part of the final level of Mega Man 8. For those of you who don't know, it's where you're sliding on this sled at a rapid rate, and have to use Mega Man's jumps and slides and time them correctly in order to get through it.

Needless to say, Jake had been trying for days to beat it, and failed miserably, and couldn't believe anyone could do it.

In the car home from getting lunch today, we were talking about it, and I said, "No sweat." So he says, "5 bucks says you can't."

Don't bet against a betting man who wins.

Well, I underestimated that level. It was tougher than I expected. I mean, this thing gives you a split second reaction time between obstacles. And I saw where Jake was having problems, but quickly found the solution to it.

After that, it was all about figuring out the timing.

Easiest five bucks I've ever made.
