the Scott Stein

Because people need to waste even more time on the Internet when they're at work, here's a fun hand-eye coordination test. I don't know whether it's accurate that a score of 18 is "phenomenal" or that US Air Force pilots are expected to go for at least two minutes. It reminds me of the old arcade game Berserk. Except in Berserk the moving obstacles were shooting at you. And you could shoot back. Apparently, my generation and younger have been training to be Air Force pilots all along. After about eight tries I got to 37.274 seconds. I could go longer if I succumbed to the addictive nature of this thing (why not throw around addictive inappropriately?). I don't know if I would come close to two minutes with some practice, since it speeds up as you go. I don't play video games at all anymore, though through college I played plenty. I'm sure some of you and many of my students who play all the time and are combat-ready will crush my score. Thanks to Kevin for the link.
