I tried this with my friend irl today, it was great. I had my monitor turned upside down, and I played the whole game in reverse direction. I managed pretty well I think. Now I challenge ALL of you guys to play a game upside down too. MAKE SURE TO SAVE THE REPLAY! It could be both of you guys up side down, or just one upside down(but specify who it is).

So go online and /f m someone in your f list to see if they're interested :_) Or just do a pub, which ever works for you. It's great fun.

I'll discuss some of the pros and cons:

Pros:
Great Fun! Re-discover the game all over again!
Trains your patience. Especially if you have fast mouse speed.
Increase hotkey usage. You cannot manage well with out them, they're your best friend in this upside down world.
Trains your spacial perspective. You have to think from another frame of reference, it's really cool.
Trains your decision making. Since you cannot move as well, you have to think strategically more and plan better.

Cons:
Frustration. Not for those who have a quick temper and no patients, you will end up breaking your computer in madness. The more impatient/faster you go, the worse it gets.
Dizziness/Loss of normal perspective for 10 minutes afterwards. After the game I tried to use my chopstick, it is all weird.

http://www.battlereports.com/viewreplays.php?replaynum=32290
here's the replay!

BE SURE TO POST YOUR REPLAY!
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

Hahaha, I am so doing this with one of my brothers later.

Reminds me of my blind SC thread. Things like this help make this amazing game more randomly fun for those who are tired of macro games, etc or just simply like taking out some of the seriousness. Which exactly fits my bill. : x Thanks for the idea!

Will make sure to post replays later.
Think. :)

Well I'm sure you'll do just fine upside down then, post a rep to show your awesomeness.

Ok, i joined a public game by the name of "1v1 lost temple experts" or atleast i think it said that. The guy asked if i was a pro and i responded "of course" and it started.

Protoss vs Zerg 9 vs 3 lost temple

enjoy!

Why not take it one step further? I challenge anyone to a mouse-only 1v1 with our monitors up side down! Let the madness begin!

Ok, I can't do it, I got DT rushed by a comp. :/

I've been using a mouse like this for far too long for me to play like this. :[

Everything looks really cool, though!

Evan, play a game with your feet.
Best leg exercise i've ever had.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

i guess the better the player, the more uncomfortable he feels. because the minimap isn't in the right place.

Sounds like fun though

Mine I have no clue how to rotate my screen .

Control alt arrow doesn't work... Neither does desktop properties -> settings etc. Unless I am not looking at the right spot it has no option. I also can't just flip monitor etc cuz im on a laptop TT.

But the replays are good~

Yeah some people were saying that bw won't run with the screen reversed upside down. Well Snowfantasy if you want to try upside down game you can get a mirror and place it perpenticular to the screen and try to play the game by looking at the screen inside the mirror.
xD
