It's a new thing I started doing a couple days ago. I start a two player race, and control both sides. I couldn't do it at first, but I got the hang of it, and I feel like it's really developing my brains multitasking ability.

The left side of the keyboard controls the right side of the screen, and the right side of the keyboard controls the left side of the screen, so I cross my arms while playing so that my left arm controls the left player, and my right arm controls the right player. It's fun, and very mind-engaging!

Heh...I always knew having friends was a bad idea...instead of having "fun" playing games with them, they're actually preventing you from developing multitasking abilities!

Yeah.. like i'm gonna be playing two-player Cro-Mag Rally races when i'm hanging out with my friends. It was just something I tried to test out my brains multi-tasking abilities.

but seeing as your right half of the brain controls the left and your left the right, doesnt that mean that in total the signals youre trying to send are crossing about 6 times?

anyway, I find, of late, the different properties of the brain to be truly fascinating. the fact that each half traditionally has certain responsibilities but that, should one half be damaged, the other half will compensate, is just completely and utterly astounding. And this happens to the extent that some people, in very very rare cases, actually have a completely split brain. Literally two people living in one body.

What? 6 times? That doesn't make any sense. I'm looking at the screen, and my right arm controls the right side of the screen, and my left arm controls the left side of the screen.

I picked a random number, but to the drink addled brain, what I said made sense...
it doesnt anymore.

Hey! I'm two people living in one body! No I'm not!!

[teflon]

ah, but its not quite split personalities. its literally like having two seperate brains, each half of which only has control of certain parts of the body. For example, one half uses the ears, the other uses the mouth, the left has the right limbs and the right has the left limbs and both get to see using the eyes.

Geez macgeek, if only the network game thing wasn't crummy Net Ranger (which doesn't seem to work where I am), I'd take you on anytime.

You definitely do AT, don't you?


edit: whoops read wrong. I thought you were referring to CMR lol. My bad.
