Yeah I played yesterday for over 5 hours straight trying to figure some things out and just not feeling happy enough with my current set up to go play... I'm really happy with the conclusions that session helped me reach so yeah these kinds of games are absolutely helpful.
I'm very excited to just get up tomorrow and play like 35+ games.
What if only my thumbnail and the tip of my pinky touch the pad? I'm essentially riding the mouse (it's not like I could use either finger to actually change my mouse movements at all) but I'm still barely touching the pad.

At a certain point of proficiency the luck factor is almost completely silenced because you are able to snap to any location immediately, I certainly agree that for someone with an average of over 4-5 their times will be partially dictated by the actual distance their mouse is having to travel.
With times under 3 seconds you are clicking over 5 per second the travel time for each movement isn't going to experience much variation.
I'll take your word for it - I average 4-5 right now as a matter of fact. Seems fun anyway
Why in the name of christ are you trying to become left handed? That's a shit load of effort you're putting into something for literally no reason lol.
Hey, I'm looking for other mouse speed/accuracy games. I know there have been a bunch posted in the past here. There was one in particular that was a series of 1-5 numbers at varying sizes that respawn every time and you had to click them all in like a minute.

Probably fine, I might try to pick them up a centimeter, the logic basically follows...
Any contact = inconsistant contact = inconsistant pressure = inconsistant power needed for moving your mouse the same distance.
EDIT: I hope it's obvious why that is bad.. it basically makes it so you have a form of mouse acceleration.

Assuming using your right/left hand is entirely equal as far as keyboarding and mousing goes, there is a lot to be said for what you can pick up when you are relearning something.. It's been almost 2 months now and I can say the experience has been helpful in many unexpected ways.
I can already beat most people on this forum at mouse accuracy games etc.. and the commitment has fulfilled itself passively, it's not like I had to dedicate time to it, you just do things normally but with your other hand.
I can kind of tell by your arrogant and offensive posts you are pretty close-minded so I'll paste some relevant quotes from another currently active thread and add that I'm not that interested in hearing your opinion based on the posting style I have seen you so consistently exhibiting.
"There are so many "intelligent" people who argue or defend when a new idea clashes with the way they think. in this case, their so-called "intelligence" combined with "arrogance" equals "ignorance"
"A truly intelligent person welcomes new ideas, for new ideas can add to the synergy of other accumulated ideas. Listening is more important than talking. If that was not true, God would not have given us two ears and only one mouth. Too many people think with their mouth instead of listening to absorb new ideas and possibilities. They argue instead of asking questions."

That bunny game starts sucking as soon as you get used to it, then its just matter of how long can you waste your time.
It does not help that you can't even brag with the scores because they bug out as soon as you reach a certain number as it supports only a limited amount of them, unless that is fixed now.

Didn't Midas do a bunch of things lefty for awhile to improve his game. I feel like it's in the sense of star blog that I can never find when I want it to.
Basically the idea is that if you do a bunch of things lefty when you're used to using your right hand you form new connections and allow the right side of your brain (the side used to control your left half of your body) to grow so you can be smarter.
I can write legibly with both my left and right hand, I don't think I'm going to be "fluent" in my left handedness.
On January 30 2009 16:57 jello_biafra PM'd me Okay, if you care that much about mouse accuracy games then fair enough, I was just asking why you were doing this.
The reason I asked in the manner I did is because you've come across as a real douchebag in a number of your posts that I've seen and also because you beat me once on iccup with the really gosu tactic of unpausing the game when I had to do go something for a minute.
Good day to you Sir.
Dude if you have a problem with me stop PMing me, that's two in the last week. I never unpause on someone during the early game but closer to mid-game I find pauses throw me off my game and cut up my APM and momentum.
Why do you think you can't have bathroom break pauses in KESPA sanctioned games.. it has an impact.
Iccup isn't fucking Denny's, you can't just come and go as you please.
It's not as if I waited for you to leave the room and then unpaused.. please get over it.
EDIT: For the record I have no idea if this ever actually occurred
