Game of the Week: TypeRacer
Been playing a couple of games of TypeRacer, and politely reminded that learning the 10-finger system is not a mandatory part of the finnish curriculum.
My rather unorthodox typing style does not lend itself well to scoring high in the game. Though let it be known that the incredibly low score in the first game was due to capitalization confusion (blatantly missed the immediate and pointed feedback provided by the game).
But it can only improve with practice.
And the act of racing a car with your wpm (to lyrics of random songs and many other sources) is actually rather a pleasant way of getting typing exercise.
Musicnaut:
A cool idea for a game, but nothing compared to the Typing of the Dead (and did I tell I have a Sega Typing Proficiency “A”). I noticed that most of the mistakes I make are spelling and not typing mistakes. Too bad yet another registration would be required to get the scores listed.
