On a serious note that really proves these games are 'button mashers'. As good as this kid probably is, these games don't take much to learn how to be good at them. Impressive either way.

July 29, 200520 yr I was watching the news and they showed video of the kid playing. The anchors, in quite possibly one of the dumbest things spoken on air, said "Look! He's got his back turned to the TV. He's not even looking!" I threw an empty beer can at the TV -- f***ing idiots, even if he was looking at the screen it wouldn't help because....::drum roll:: He's f***ing blind!

July 29, 200520 yr QUOTE(danman31 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) My Who isn't that good, I don't get it. Pinball Wizard is from the Townsend Opera Tommy. Tommy was the deaf, dumb, and blind pinball player. I was thinking about the button mashers and when Pac Man was popular, I was calling on Midway Manufacturing, the people that invented it. The lobby was filled with games for us sales reps to pass the time. I could get past the first four or five screens without looking. But that's a maze game, not a fighting game. That's what amazed me. Two player games have some randomness that cannot be predicted.
July 29, 200520 yr I bet the kid could kick Luke Skywalkers ass even WITH the blast shield down! Jedi my ass!!!
