Tom and his PS3: World Series Performance... Except no.

Tom was happy. After weeks of strike outs and flailing around in the outfield, his baseball team had finally scored a couple runs.

After two blissful innings, Tom suspected the game maybe, possibly, was running in demo mode. In denial, he played the third inning fervently, convinced he was mistaken. A little anger and some bargaining followed. Finally, at the top of the forth, he found acceptance.

Tom lay down the controller and watched the game go on without him.
