Although this has nothing to do with Liam's panel, it does fall in line with
the subject line, so here are my thoughts, and I would like yours:
Some people claim that they can play a game without being able to see when
to hit a rolling ball or other such task that requires sight. As it turns
out, all they are doing is continuously, very frantically, firing. Take
Blindfold Pinball for example. For a while, I hosted an iPhone gaming event
on
www.Out-Of-Sight.net
in which we chose a game that was on everyone's iPhone, and we took turns
locking out mike key down, playing 1 ball, then releasing our mike key for
the next player. After the third ball had been played, high score won. The
way that I played was to listen for when the ball approached a flipper, then
hitting the flipper, trying to actually use skill when playing. Others
would launch their ball and immediately start hammering away at the flippers
in hopes of hitting the ball when it rolled within range. Is this how the
game should be played, with no skill involved? They usually beat me, but I
feel that they were cheating. Some people claim that they can successfully
play games involving punching the opponent, but they punch quickly and
continuously in hope of success. To me, a game should be played with skill,
not luck.
If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!!
