Me 2
Had the best WPM in my technology class
I always wished I had “Mario teaches typing” tho
Me too brother
I had Mario Teaches Typing, and it was pretty lit.
I got it for Christmas when I was really little. I remember going so fast that Mario would be almost outrunning/outswimming the camera while horrible PC speaker noises would blare out of the computer, annoying everyone nearby but amusing me. Good times
The typing game that bumps all other games out of the arena.
>Ys
Hrm. This gets me thinking.
"Learning Typing, and see Various Loose-Robed Sideboob" is a bonanza waiting to happen, if marketed correctly.
"Memory Puzzles & Sideboob" would be another good one.
Don't get me started on "Ring Fit Adventure, plus Sideboob"
typing offensive slurs during Quake 3 matches improved my typing speed significantly
For me it was chatting during ability cooldowns in MMORPGs.
There's was a flash hentai game I used to play back in the late 2000s where if you typed fast enough you would get the sex scenes, I got so much into it that I stopped caring about the hentai altogether.
"Sexting of the Dead" could've been an amusing yet most likely banned in every country spin-off of Sega's popular arcade franchise.
> flash hentai game where if you typed fast enough you would get the sex scenes
I hope Mavis Beacon was in it
It's on Steam.
i got to 90 wpm just from chatting online during games and then at this office job i worked i casually beat everyone when they had us all do a typing test for no apparent reason. until this one rat racer c**t sales manager grinded into the stratosphere throughout a working day
For me it was some old-ass minigame compilation for the PC, one of the games had ninjas coming at you from all sides of the screen and you had to type in order to defeat them. No screenshot, since I don't even remember the name. Also, shitposting late at night over the years improved my typing to the point I don't even need to see the keyboard anymore. Had I known I'd pick up the QWERTY layout like that subconsciously over the years, I'd switch the keyboard settings to Dvorak or something. I'd probably be typing maaaad fast by now.
PS. I miss typewriters and old keyboards, I'll need to get a mechanical one at some point, must be really comfy.
I'm just gonna leave this here
What game was this? I vaguely remember playing some shooter where you typed to kill.
typing of the dead
Nice, released on steam. Plays great. I shit you not, it had "Hitler was not wrong" as an input. Hillarious.
Just dropping in to pay my respects to Broderbund and the work they did to give me the WPM I have today.
Mavis and Mutt-Head
Playing MMOs made me better at typing than any of this crap ever did.
Is this a nostalgia board or a retro video games board? Mods should add another rule: if you haven't played it in the past 5 years, then please shut the frick up about it.
>Is this a nostalgia board or a retro video games board?
One implies the other.
i think she's just a minor meme on this board
you can like older games without bein nostalgic for em
suck my fricking wiener homosexual b***h
Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing is an interactive video game that stretches back to the DOS era. I can't think of a more appropriate place than /vr/ to discuss it, or titles like Mario Teaches Typing, or titles like Typing of the Dead on the Sega Dreamcast.
In any given Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing thread, there are many typing game enthusiasts who are eager to join in on the conversation and bring up their own personal favorites, but there is still only one Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.
And I actually do like Typing games a lot. I think it fills a similar place in my mind to rhythm games. Simple, purely reactive and skill based. I wish there were more of them.
I did play a new indie Dungeon Crawler typing game recently and it was not bad. Though, because it was a dungeon crawler/RPG it couldn't be as purely arcadey as I prefer this type of game. Typing tutors need a way to build in intense repetition.
There's a typing mod for doom. It's p neat. Can't remember what it's called though.
Poor Mavis, all she wanted to do was teach us to type.
I'm interested in speed running this. Any tips on where to start?
QWERTY is a good starting point.
my typing increased more from messenger type apps, icq, aim, msn, etc
i was obsessed with messaging girls
i got jobs that required fast typing later in life easily
favorite typing game memory was the mario one at summerschool- i didnt go bc i failed i went for fun (private school)
Mavis Beacon is a boring old biddy
You are more animal than man
You've been hitting the blackberry schnapps pretty hard. Regroup, and expect to boost your WPM when you come back.
Ah, Mr. Clean's wife.
When did Mavis beacon turn black?
Was she not?
She has always been black.
Mavis Beacon effect.
The dude I sat next to in my typing class in like 8th grade called it Beacon's Bacon. I don't really know.
it doesnt count unless u use one of these
>imac
>complimentary aluminum keyboard
>generic wireless usb mouse
kek
i still have picrel. i call it the clit mouse because you have to rub it aggressively once the sensitivity goes soft.
applels mice are terrible for any type of vidya that relies on the mouse wheel or just scrolling in general.
your sweaty palm prints gunk it up making it a pain in the ass to use every other day.
>i call it the clit mouse because you have to rub it aggressively once the sensitivity goes soft
t. doesn't know what a clit is
i worded that poorly.
you have to keep at it to get the desired result.
that better, homosexual?
not him but still no
you are doing it SO wrong anonkun ;_;
i have that exact mouse in my coomlection, and the clearboy from the gen prior - i use them in dosbox for added immersion
>doing it wrong
frickin' how?
my hands sweat like everyone else's.
sweaty palm prints will dry and form gunk - this gunk gets stuck in the damn clitlet causing the scroll functionality to frick up regularly.
>inb4 doity gwippuhs
No.
>training to be a secretary
trs-80 typing tutor ftw
god man i miss her so bad
She's always just a few clicks away from being on your computer and showing you how to type.
The superstar of typing video games. No name even comes close. Mario got trounced
Mavis has sex with anyone who hits 100 wpm
Runescape made me a typing God.
I typed wrong on purpose just to watch the groceries fall onto the floor
I liked making the Eva girls happy to the sound of blue alps.
What kind of ALPS switches are those?
They are tactile and clicky. The ones inside that keyboard is a deeper blue than the replacement ones outside. This keyboard here are tactile and clicky space invaders, which are my favorite due to nostalgia.
Looks very well-kept, anon.
soul
I'd teach her typing if you get my meaningss haaahahahah
My typing was slam dunked
Who is Mavis Beacon anyway? Does the lady on the cover actually appear in the game?
She's not a real person. It was a stock photo originally and everything after like 2003 (iirc) has been a composite image. She's like Mickey Mouse or Uncle Ben.
>stock photo originally
so she's still out there...
how come black women from back then looked more normal than now
>so she's still out there
I'd I'm right, then yeah, presumably. Aged, of course.
I could be misremembering, maybe she was a composite all along. But I'm pretty sure the original was a stock image.
She wasn't a stock image but a person, iirc a secretary or sitting on the welcome desk, they saw when looking for the character model and thought "PERFECT!".
So they dressed her, gave her the new clothes and some bucks, took the photo and done.
She later went back home to her home country which is when traces were lost. So it is probable she's still alive but noone knows.
I stand corrected.
you're not fricking with me, are you?
it's true
Nope, but according to the internet she was actually a saleswoman.
And the internet is always right.
Captcha: 4GXXX, hot LTE pr0n
She was a model who sold perfume at an upscale store in NYC
I have used the forbidden search engine and cracked the code. this knowledge will be posted here for all who come after to avail of. This was really hard to find btw
Info is only available about the first Mavis Beacon, who went missing. There is almost no information on any of the other 2-4 models who went on to play Mavis Beacon later.
Where do they keep taking all the Mavis Beacons? They just wanted to Teach us Typing.
I learned how to type trying to get Nudes on yahoo chat and AIM. Type 107 wpm last time clocked.
She looks like she has a really stinky pussy.
Mavis Beacon causes carpal tunnel syndrome.
If you're' not pecking your keys you're wrecking your wrist.
i want to throat frick mavis beacon
>i want to throat frick a computer program
nothing surprises me these days
Where is she now?
Returned home to her home planet "Haiti"
Why would anyone want to return to the slummiest country in the Caribbean?
home is still home
>he doesn't know
Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing Appreciators are secure and feel no need to tell everyone that they are the best.
>haiti UFOS
whats that?
Same, anon. Also why was she black?
She's a strong independent woman who doesn't need a man. It was very "on brand" for the time.
> Mavis Beacon is often thought to be a living or historical figure by the public. This confusion has led many to contact the software developers seeking to speak to, interview, or book Mavis for an event. Furthermore, as a result of Mavis Beacon's continuous use in computer typing software, and her image on millions of software boxes, many consumers have reported confabulations (i.e. false memories) of Mavis Beacon winning typing contests or appearing on talk shows.
the typing of the dead made me a better typer than everyone in this thread
>Email faster
Does this actually make your emails go fasterer?
found a disc for it in my school's storage room in middle school, suprisingly the registration system still works and they let me keep the disc along with a bunch of other shit i found
Anyone remember a typing game where you had to race a car or something else. I remember if you messed up your typing you could see the racecar crash into the wall with the horn honking loud.
nvm i found it. its called turbo math facts.
who the frick is the malaysian on typeracer typing at 260 wpm.
Does anyone remember a typing game where the character was a ghost or some shit? I apologize for not having enough to go off of, but this was back in the mid 90s when I was like 4
Kid's Typing?
Oh shit, that was it. Thank you Anon
i still suck at typing and I never played a typing game lol
I'm going to be honest, but this taught me typing. I took a typing class in HS that I failed in 1997. I still looked at the keybaord until 2005 and then this helped me become a good typist.
Typing of the Dead is inarguably the GOAT and it’s not even close.
Please refer to the 2nd half of
thank you
