holy crap, this is great!

You literally are placed in a type-off against others in real time.

I've dominated every race so far, and I'm sure most Icrontians will tear up typing n00bs as well.

Pic attached is my first race. It was really sloppy, too. I'm typically closer to 100wpm.

Race away.

    Damn I'm getting slopping I'm only averaging around 80wpm, but it's totally dependent on the phrase at had some have very oddly placed punctuation that's flipping me up.

    Fun game though.

    I'm averaging around 101 on this game. The ones with funny punctuation drop me into the 70s and 80s. :\

    I am way out of practice though.

    I've been typing a lot lately. Playing GH/Rock Band + real bass several hours a week keeps these chubby sausage fingers pretty nimble. Now that I am working full time for IC, I realize how much more "typing" is involved than the normal daily use of "a lot of mouse clicking" for my last job.

    The game is not for me apparently. I NEVER fix typos as I type. If I'm worried about typos (like when I post here on the forum, I fix them after I type, and this game does not allow that, and it doesn't even recognize when you click back in a word and fix the typo that way, you have to backspace back to it, and retype everything.

    Following these rules cuts my typing speed from 60-something down to 20-something.

    I also like how most the quotes seem to be from Guy Ritchie films :bigggrin:

    I used to be able to get 120wpm on a certain apple keyboard from the old mac days. I think if they're getting 150+ they're probably using dvorak. I've seen people do 200wpm with dvorak.
