The games people play: What games/sports are you best at?

[lucky22]

Decent softball player, wrestled in high school with a .500 average after three years.
Civilization I, SMAC, chess, Panzer Blitz/Leader, Kingmaker, Ogre/GEV, Stalingrad, Aggravation (great for playing with kids and fam), cards, blah, blah, etc. etc.

I am a talentless sportsman, although I can swim quickly and have a lot of endurance with it, still not competent to do anything with it.

I am good at civ of course And...erm...playing silly buggers

[Boris Godunov]

And yes, jackasses, I've played Risk a lot over the last 10 years.

My secret is to never play the same group of people twice, because once I cream them, they will inevitably try to gang up on me in a rematch.

[Tuberski]

I was good at Axis and Allies and Risk, I'm a good bowler, I'm pretty good at volleyball, good at darts, decent at pool(billiards).

ACK!

[Dauphin]

I used to get in the 190s at ten pin bowling, but I have only played a couple of times in the last few years.

That's a great song. At least the Bob Andy cover is, I've not heard the original.

Er, I lack anything approaching a ball sense, so all ball sports are out. And I'm terminally unfit. Also, I have an intense inability to react instantly to stimuli, worse than anyone I know. Someone once brought a toy into my house at College which consisted of a number of different instructions of the "twist that cap!", "pull that lever!" type being issued at increasing speed by a speaker and the player having to perform those actions. All my corridor mates got scores ranging from 20, at the worst, to 60 and up. I got a one. In three attempts. Seriously. I suck at all sport...

The one computer game level I ever got good at was the Sweden track in Screamer Rally, where I could trash everyone.

I've always been very good at console hockey and football (American football) games.

For real sports, Baseball and Soccer were my best.

My highest was 299.

I actually hate to bowl, but I was pretty good at it.

ACK!

[Buck Birdseed]

Yes, that's what it was called. I didn't know it was a well-known brand.

[Tuberski]

My stepson just got one for Christmas.

ACK!

IS this a game or sport topic?
as for game you probably will not defeat me, any fighting game like street fighter or soul calibur. I suck at tekken though so dont bother challenging me in that. Problem is I don't know just how good people around me are. My friends all suck and get their arse kicked and arcade has no comp, but I got my arse kicked once when I met a player on game forum.

As for sports, I dont suck but dont rule. No one can defeat me in a game of taps. Muahahah!

I'm surprised no one has yet said "I am the best f--ker I know. Try beating me in that!"

[Zero]

since people began listing stats, my record that i am personally proud of is 100 meter run @ 12.0 seconds, since I never broke a 12 second wall... and whats worse was that in that race I was second to lat

[Jaguar]

Hockey: I've skated about 7-8 times in my life, and played street hockey ~20 times, but I took to ice hockey really naturally. I played on a friends (ice) hockey team at a tournament in Canada (they were short three players so they needed an extra) and I was a starter by the third game. I can steal the puck from anyone, but keeping it is a bit tricky. That's why I play defense.

I'm also pretty good at soccer.


In computer games, Civ - even when compared to members of this site. I had an 1157 AC arrival in (deity) CivII, which was fifth or sixth in the Civ community at the time. I won on CivI emperor when I was seven years old. (Yes, I've been playing highest-level civ for half my life ) I'm experimenting with OCC in CivIII.

In videogames, I can beat anyone in "Arctic Thunder." You know those record times for games in arcades? I set them quite frequently.

I am also invincible at every variant of the game with the "snake" or "worm" where you eat food and your tail gets longer and you can't run into your tail.

Next time I am in New York I can fix that for you.
