Practice While At Work!

for those of you that sit in front of a computer 8 hours a day..5 days out of the week...i bet you all are just like me...ignoring your responsibilities and surfing the net...

then there might be days when your lead/boss/team leader has to be doing something thats inconveniently located near your desk, in other words, he'll see you laughing it up and having a good time on 'theville' forums....and to avoid being thrown out on your arse-you start working....bleh.

thats when you start missing TFC or any other game the most...so what i like to do is...increase the speed of my mouse, just a tad bit, a little more than how i have it set for TFC..then i increase the double clicking speed...finally, i start making notepad files...i type 'boom' inside of them and then decrease the window size so that they open up small...save them to the desktop...then i take those 'notepads' and scatter them all over my desktop(or make up a pattern if you so desire)...and then just fire away! (sound effects comming from your mouth are not necessary but can be used with caution)

i feel speeding up the mouse pointer helps your eye-hand coordination and your reaction to where you are leading your pointer...thats just my oppinion though....kind of like wearing a parachute when practicing 40-yard sprints in Track...the increased mouse speed is your resistance and when its back to normal its easier to comprehend.

okay..well theres my lame, useless tip heheh..hope you guys at least give it a shot...i even go through the whole day at work doing normal things on my PC with an over-speedy mouse...its annoying at first...but you soon learn how to keep it in control...

LOL!!!!!

That sounds like it would get old fast. But hey, whatever gets you through the end of the day, right?

heheh...once it starts getting old...you take one of the notepads...and type in 'A WINNER IS YOU!'...then you grab one of your co-workers...have him mix it in with the other notepads....and then he has to time you as you try and 'shoot' the right notepad....do this between the both of you and see who has the fastest time....REMEMBER: all this with a very speedy, out of control mouse and double clicker....

the possibilties are endless!

Do you work for me?

Actually when I sit next to you I am just trying to start a LAN game to practice.
