Being new and First Blog - Playing games on the Keyboard...

Posted by Toon-Master on Aug. 29, 2006, 8:52 a.m.

Ok firstly my page isn't great because I only started :P.

Now my blog for today is about games with controls that is just a keyboard. Here it goes…

I haven't ever seen a console game with Arrows on the right side of the controller. Now did you notice the arrows are on the right side of this keyboard? This is going sound strange maybe but if there is no settings to change the keys around then I cross arm to play. That means forget placing your fingers on the home row keys and put my left hand in the arrow keys (whether Num pad or arrows) and my right whatever keys you must use for letters.

Why do I do such a thing??? Well I don't know myself but I only got guesses/excuses:

- I was born intellectually disabled when born. I can't say that I have improved a lot 6 years ago.

- The arrows on the game controller is on the left and my left hand hangs around there.

- Secretly I'm left handed?

Is this a bad habbit, is it abnormal/normal? I wouldn't know because it doesn't bother me. Instead everyone in my IT college classes think it's strange and cool. I told them the game controller excuse and now my friend Matt is trying it lol.

That's my first blog of the day.

Latest GM work: PK_Engine a MMO support set of scripts that is little harder then Fox-NL's EasySock. You can get it from here (if you can find it (?)).

Finally, thanks for any welcome comments.

Hey thanks for the comments. I'm aware of the one blog a day that's why I said, my first blog of the day :).

Heh, my friend does it too (left hand on arrows). Sometimes he can change the controls to WASD, but he never uses WASD! So he plys with his hands crossed. Weirdo.
