If I can find the will to play anything other than pso or quake, I'd love to give this a try ;)

Found a copy at a game store. Paid $25 for it. It was sealed, but I'd still rather have paid less, though I didn't think I'd have another chance before the competition ended. I'll be trying my hand at this soon.

Well, it cost about $50 when it first came out so just pretend it's 2001 and you just got the game for 50% off! Awesome deal man! :D Seriously though, it's a great game so I'm sure you'll find it well worth the price.

God damn, what is with those phrases? All these words I've never even heard before, and are even more difficult to type! :shock:

Oh well. Here's my score so far.

Nice! You were so close to getting the 95% accuracy!

Edit: Here's my latest score. Nothing special but it's an improvement from my last score.

Well done!

God damn that first asshole in the car. There's never enough time to save him, and he determines your entire route.

It always seems that whenever it do a run, whether the run was generally good or bad, I always get 93%. Can't seem to top it.

Completely agree with you there! I can't see how that's even possible! It's hard enough to get in one letter, never mind a whole word!

I managed to save him once, and that's because the word was DVD. Can't get much easier to type than that. It's frustrating since he's so easy to save in the normal game.

Here's another slight improvement:

I did manage to save the guy in the car once (It wasn't on this run though). I forget what the word was but I believe it was 4 letters.

Arrrg! So close! At least I managed to get 96% accuracy. This mini Japanese keyboard of mine is turning out to be quite a disadvantage. There are a lot of instances where I'll hit a letter and it won't register. This causes me to get a miss and lost my perfect streak. I plan on picking up the regular DC keyboard eventually.
