They say that video games improve reflexes and motor ability.
The following should be a rough indication if this is true or not, since we all are known for having played excessively in our lives.

You can ask for any old woman
You can ask for an army of ants
You can ask for a pillar of poison
You can ask for sheep and shavers
And you can die for
Be careful what you wish for
Yeah, I got the Bobcat also. Thing is in real life I sometimes suprise myself with hand eye coordination, darts, juggling, catching something someone throws at me by suprise like a ninja, stuff like that.
Bobbing Bobcat.
Funny thing though, I was at the movies the other day with a friend and they had a arcade that gave away ticket prizes. One of the machines there was a reflex machine that would give you the number of tickets based on what you landed on, and if you got the "Bonus" (Which was around 100 tickets, then a additional ticket for each coin put into the machine). Managed to get the bonus once, and landed on the 10 ticket spot (The one right next to the bonus) nearly each time.
Funny thing is? With $10 bucks in coins, I managed to wipe the machine out of tickets (Around 1000 total), and sort of piss off the people who worked at the counter when they had to count it.

I jumped the gun a lot of time and got the penalty, but on my more accurate one I got Bobbing Bocat.
I sometimes surprise myself in shooters with a lot of curtain fire (Like the last stages of Warning Forever), but I can't hold it for long.
I totally dominated this earthquake ticket thing, and a wheel of fortune ticket game when I was in Ocean City Maryland. The Earthquake game was one of the first times I was there, and we got well over 1000 tickets (me and my friend BOTH, seperately). Next time we went back the following year, the machine was adjusted to give out almost no tickets lol. So I decided to play the wheel of fortune. I landed a 500 ticket jackpot, 300, and then another 500, almost in a row. The people were pissed! lolOriginally Posted by Jasonkhowell
Edit: Rocketing Rabbit on that reaction test, and its 3 am lol

Bobbing bobcat, although every time i try the first one i hit is always cheetah and then it slows down
Yeah, they had the wheel of fortune one, and a similar one (The wheel of fortune one gave out less then the other one). Funny thing is, me and my friend had several people crowd around us and see how the hell we were getting so many tickets (Too bad all the prizes there were crappy).

CS... yeah... people always ask me what the hell am I shooting at.... jumped the gun a lot. :crying:
This is a shitty test. The mouse is really unresponsive for milli second reactions. Esspecially when you have an older mouse that seems like it'll stop clicking at all one of these days. ;p I could keep getting the one in the middle but that was about it. Also, why is there a damn layer at the bottom of the field to hide the sheep underneath it? Really this is a shitty test.
