Okay, I have to admit that I’m a sucker for typing games of any sort. If you make it online and competitive, then I’m going to be hooked.

What I’m trying to say is… that I have the hots for Mavis Beacon.

Someone here hit 120 wpm?

Suddenly I feel emasculated.

Anyone ever play Typing of the Dead? That was incredible. Had me typing like a machinegun.

This is shit hot too.

I hope this game will teach people to use correct punctuation and capitalization.

They should just take the high scores down!

Well, that didn’t take long. All the high scores right now are cheatbots advertising porno sites. Yay for capitalism!

By the way, my average is 85 wpm. You 120 people should go pro.

Top was 60 wpm. I thought I was a bit faster than that :/. I’m glad it match-makes you well.

I played one race and got 1st place with 57 wpm.

I was simultaneously proud and disappointed.

Woah, more fun than I would have thought! My top typing rate in the game was 120 wpm, and I only came in second! :( This reminds me of the fun I had playing Mario Teaches Typing at my elementary school. Elementary school rocked.

Nifty coincidence! I just posted something about this in the “keen game sense” thread a few weeks ago. I’ve been looking for a reason to boast.

114 wpm.

The game requires more than type speed, especially when you’re typing passages out of fucking chemistry books. Hope you’re a good speller.

I average 70-80 WPM, but some of these scores don’t seem possible.

I can’t get over 43 WPM, and I averaged at 40. But when I was a kid, I never had Mario or Mavis Beacon to teach me typing, so I type using mostly only my index fingers, and I look at the keyboard a lot. How can I fix this?

Oh man, I’d always thought it was Mavis Bacon.

According to a simple Google search, the world’s fastest typer only clocks in averages around 160wpm…so I would guess that anything above that is a blantant cheat.

Why?! I average 64wpm and yet you crazy people get over 100. I know some people might be cheating but those that type 80-90 are pretty darn fast. It’s those capitals that kill me. shakes fist

Meh, my average is only 65. Puntuation and capitilization is what kills me.

I average 84 wpm, but there seems to be some way to cheat because this one dude is typing 193 wpm, and I can’t believe that is possible.

WOW! Most people look at me like I am on crack when I mention Mavis Beacon.
