How to make the computer challenging

[GDavis]

After being blown out by the computer twice in a row, i won 10-9 detroit over st. louis.  Not too bad considering i was playing with my feet.

This has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever read.

Yeah I'm going to go home and try that shit out. Good idea!

i was thinking more along the lines of playing upside down while loooking into  a mirror... but playing with your feet would also take some practice.

It's quite impossible.  I highly doubt that you won that game.  That'd have to be something I'd have to see to believe.  Shoes on or shoes off?  That's my question...

Shoes off, I think it would be impossible with shoes on.  Its not even that hard once you get used to it, I 10 run ruled them yesterday.  I guess it doesn't really make the computer that challenging after all.

Are you using a regular controller or an NES advantage (the one with the joystick and buttons the size of quarters)?

[GDavis]

Regular controller

When I was about 8, I had a friend by the name of Gary Lee.  Gary's sister used to play the Atarti 2600 with her feet.  Never saw her actually play a game with her hands...

I was just curious to see if anyone else has tried this since i made this post.

[NotURMasButArmas]

Yeah, I tried it. I must not be as good of a feet RBI player as you guys because I got smoked all three times I played like this. At first I was playing with socks on and then I thought that if I took my socks off I would have better control but it didn't matter.

I wouldn't tell your friends you were playing RBI with your feet. They might find it nasty and may choose to never touch the controller again.

one thing I do is play with my index finger and middle finger on my right hand. When I was younger, I did a lot of stupid crap. This time, I lit a firecracker in my hand and threw it. It turns out I didn't throw in time and it sor of went off in my hand. I got a huge blood blister on my right thumb. I couldn't let it stop my RBI fever, so I learned to play with my fingers instead of my thumb. It looks like I'm retarded, but still today I play with fingers instead of my thumb.

Interesting...
My best RBI buddy Matt down at Western Illinois University throws on a batting glove on his right hand to protect him from "Nintendo thumb". Sometimes I think it's just to psych me out though. Anyone else got any weird controller abits?

i would have to admit that if i were playing rbi against someone who was sporting a batting glove, i would have seriously evaluate my competition.    

just a side note,   is there anything more foul smelling than a used batting glove... sweat and leather do not mix.

[sucka free]

I don't wear a batting glove while playing RBI, mainly because of that retched smell...however when I go out drinking I do sport a drinking glove.  Its basically a glove with the fingers cut off.  It provides me with the extra grip I need so I don't lose a beer when I'm plastered.

[Gwynn3k]

now i could see where that could come in handy.  the last thing you want when your drunk is to lose your beverage.  

[sucka free]

Its a pretty sweet glove.  I painted a shamrock on the front of it with the words "drinking glove" printed in the middle.  I must say I get alot of compliments

[Gwynn3k]

i bet the coeds are impressed...  
wearing a glove while drinking is a sure sign of a guy who doesnt mess around.

[sucka free]

I tkae the disipline of drinking very seriously.  I ususally start with a solid mixed drink base.  When I feel my heat on taking control, I go to my safe, dail in the combo, and take my drinking out.  After putting it on, I immediatly proceed in drinking beer until I lose count.  When a sports game is on (a la giants or 49ers) this phase is called rally beer where the volume increases exponetially.  Its a proven fact that my teams play better the more my intake increases.  This is where the drinking glove proves its worth.  After getting tattooed from the countless beers, people tend to fumble their drinks.  But not me.  I never lose my grip.  People are amazed but I just tell them that I like to be prepared.  I haven't lost a drink since 1996 and I don't plan on it anytime soon.
