You shoot lightning bolts of annoying noise at a.maybe snake. It doesn’t take long for this one to get old. Nothing like a 70’s newspaper comic strip to really bring in the kids! Well, at least there's some comfort in knowing it's entirely possible they're dead. When you die, you're treated to a de-motivational leaderboard where some assholes set records on this game in the mid-80's. Maybe it could just be, I don’t know, a failure means he doesn’t press his pants before going to work and looks a little disheveled? Becoming food for another creature is a harsh punishment. My ability to type being tied to the life of a character is a little heavy. This is really demotivating as a student. You have to type fast enough to outrun bad guys or pneumatic presses or things like that. You move this character, which appears to be a.caterpillar’s head, down a path by typing. The game is the same thing over and over. But it begs the question: What is it? And why would another human being create this? I don’t think it was ever intended to be music. This one greets students with an absolute racket of MS-DOS noise when you fire it up. To attempt some training, I played games. I repeatedly typed “Thom Yorke,” which violates my sense of the way “Tom” is supposed to be spelled. This one has my typing what I can only assume are the liner notes to a Radiohead album? Not even kidding. This one had me typing up a text about how horribly depressed people with Alzheimer's and Dementia can be. To be fair, a pop-up popped up in the middle of this test. Is it worth my time (or yours) to work on those typing skills? Would a writer save some time and energy with a little bit of back-to-basics? Will I get to type the word “inbred” over and over? My typing style is somewhere in-between quirky and bad. Sometimes the quirks are more of a problem, like the self-taught mopper who’s rubbing the mop head on the floor front to back instead of in a sweeping, graceful side-to-side motion that actually accomplishes the task of cleaning a floor. Sometimes these are charming, little things, like the kid who jumped along with Mario until the first time he played with friends and realized what he was doing (I was ALSO this kid). Self-taught practitioners usually have some quirks to the way they do things. This was a sure sign of a self-taught player who spent a lot of time alone at the hoop. Not that I'm proud of it, but hey, I guess it's better than being nothing.The first time I played basketball at a friend’s house, I was the only kid still deploying the two-arm, underhanded “granny shot.” Everyone else shooting overhand was a completely new thing to me. And at the minute, I'm considered as a homosapien. The ice book freezes the words and the slow book, pretty obviously, slows down the speed of the words.Īnother thing I like is similar to other games, the funny ranks they'll put you in, from dinosaurs to modernized men. The fire book burns the words that we can't manage to type. It is a creative game as we can freeze or slow the pace down or even, get rid of the fast-falling words by using 'magical' books such as fire, ice and slow book. And this is the part where I usually give up playing. But, if you commit even 1% error, you won't be considered 'error free' and instead of getting double the score, you'll end up with just the score you managed to get, which is the reason why I can't score as much on other levels - they're just too fast for me. The one thing I like about the game is the 'error free' and bonus bit. Maybe I'm a slow typist and just needs to work a bit more on my speed but still, I won't recommend this game to people who are beginners to computers or typing for themselves, unless of course, if you like challenges, then be my guest. You can't take a second or two to look at the letters you type, otherwise, you'll just find it saying 'You Lost'. The reason I say confidence is, you can't have doubts when you're typing, you need to be sure what you type is what you want to type. I for one thinks this game is rather difficult as it mainly requires confidence and of course, speed. you can always expect the levels to get harder. The first three levels is alright, but when the level after starts to have some tweaks in them ie. Typing Maniac is a game from Metrogames which tests our typing speed and alertness.
