It’s time for Barrel Bowling. You know, that really addicting little minigame? Yea, the one with everyone hooked. Their tweet had one little monosyllabic question-like, “What is your best score in Barrel Bowling so far?”. But even though that was so simple, the silence in replies is DEAFENING. Like, where’s the flex? Where’s the chaos?
To begin, if you somehow do not tire of the experience of Barrel Bowling… what in the world are you doing? It is one of those games that you might think at first really looks easy, but all of a sudden you’re rolling barrels like a miffed raccoon for more than an hour. The end goal? Knock as many pins as you can down with those awkward heavy barrels. Extremely easy, but not really.
That tweet had nothing in form of replies (sad trombone), but one of the users spent hours on end obsessing over it. Social media has busy clips of near-perfect runs, utter failures, and everything in between: a few players seem to score as if they own a Ph.D. in Barrel Physics, while others… well, let’s just say barrels seem to have a personal vendetta against them.
And why this tiny game is becoming such a global event? Because it is basically the combination of skill and stupid luck. It is the point when you seem lined up just right to make the shot, and the next your barrel is off like it has a mind of its own. And the scarring? It is heinous. You’er either a champ or a total loser, nothing else.
If you’re just sitting on an awesome score, show it off. Drop it in the comments (or, you know, reply to that tweet), if you are brave. And if you’re still trying, just hang on. Barrel Bowling never forgets, although it sometime rewards efforts to be made. Maybe.
Oh, and whoever came up with this game is either a genius or a sadist. Or maybe both.
So what’s YOUR best score? Don’t leave us hanging out to dry like that. The internet demands answers. And if you say “zero,” we won’t judge. Much.
