Message 1088721 - Posted: 20 Mar 2011, 4:59:13 UTC

This evening Eric and I took a niece and a nephew to an arcade. Now I am not exactly an arcade aficionado, but we were celebrating a special event and so I put on my happy face and went along. And guess what? I am married to a veritable Arcade Renaissance Man!!! Eric can shoot a light gun, toss a football, roll a ski-ball and beat everyone hands down in trivia games. When it comes to Deal or No Deal, he is a master strategist. His hands over-flowed with prize tickets. Our niece and nephew were tremendously impressed. I was beaming with pride and delight, right up to the point when Mr. Sciatica climbed into a bumper car, effectively ending our sex life for the rest of the decade.

"Performance" implies that it's an art. In fact, it's a science.

Are you suggesting my results aren't statistically significant? Does my study need more participants?

If you add more participants, I know of ONE subject you will certainly lose through attrition!!!

"Performance" is it an art, or a science.
The answer, is of course "Yes"!

Perhaps a bit more research with the subject you have on hand.

It's a "guy" thing............which also means it's a "kid" thing.

May your reign over the arcade continue EK.

Well, I know Eric's not there yet, but some of us continue to be 'kids' well into our 50's and beyond.

I would love to see Eric in action sometime. Perhaps I can even challenge him to a game of ski-ball... I'm not necessarily good at it, but I like playing it. ;)

Of course, the real geek's battleground is in an MMORPG. Anyone can shoot a gun in an FPS.

(Though I'm not very good in PvP in RPGs either, but it would still be fun!)

Eric and Angela, my herniated disc 20 years ago didn't stop things, it just forced a new level of creativity...
