I do a lot of throwing of needles and cards. The needles are 11.5", very blunt, and I can throw them into a piece of firewood fairly consistently. And I am currently in a Tetris Marathon battle with Pokey. My high score is 680k. It would be higher, but they only let you play for 15 levels.
 
Tetris, track (running), drinking water as fast as possible, uhhh....I can't think of any others right now :\

Edit: Oh oh! I looovveee fighting games! Just like Street Fighter and King of Fighters and Tekken!

"skill games". Could you please give me an example of a "game" that does not require "skill"? Technically even sitting down requires skills. Therefore that's what I voted for. Your list sucks by the way.
Anyway, other hobbies of mine include: Ice skating; reading; Age of Empires/Mythology; Tekken; and flaming morons.

For me, "skill game" is not defined as "a game that requires skill" because that is a stupid definition. Someone with literally no skill at all would not be able to reach the keyboard. I define "skill game" as "a game where the only things affecting how well you do are skill and luck". So for example games that anyone can beat with enough time input (like most RPGs) are not skill games to me.
 
not quite sub one, 66 sec exp, 16 sec int, 2 beg. other skills are chess and skateboarding

I just figured out what you were getting at while on the toilet.

What I meant was: imagine a game where the rule was "sit down". If you were to sit down you would be playing a skill game, even by your definition, right?

EDIT: Also, I deleted my other post, as it was written based on a misunderstanding ^^
 
lol i mispelled 'what' on purpose
just to be cute lol

Are you sure the only thing you spelled wrong is 'what'? (..)

Anyway, I suck at yo-yo, orgigami and I'm only medium to decent on stepmania... Math is my worst schoolsubject and I am terribly slow at minesweeper... I'm only an average club player on chess and my juggling skills are mediocre.. at least I can do a handstand :cool: and I'm quite fast at swimming for a non competitive swimming with regular training. I'm about 2/3 accuracy on singles on darts so I suck at that... my powerball scores are ok. 118xx with right and 108xx with left. My guitar skills are not that great either so I guess the only thing I'm decent at is cubing :) (and speedreading a bit, 500/600 wmp which is low for a speedreader but well above the average student (200/400))

Edit: Oh and I guess my speedstacking is not that bad really, I can do 12 avg with a bit of practise

die/dice: singular
dices: plural

well, i guess my mistake was grammer, not spelling:p



Wow, you picked only what you did and shoved everything else in the 'other' category.

oops~

i never thought about that:(

What?
Die = one
Dice = more than one.
Dices = not a word
Or at least wiktionary says (under "dice"):
Usage notes

The singular usage is considered incorrect by many authorities. However, it should be noted that some authoritative sources state that “In modern standard English, the singular die (rather than dice) is uncommon. Dice is used for both the singular and the plural.”

This use of dices is due to poor education, and is not technically meant to be a word.

Also: you spelt "you" wrong, "guys" wrong, "yo-yo" wrong, and your grammar is appalling.
 
I play a lot of video games (tetris, minesweeper, battlefield 2, and settlers 3 are my big timesinks right now)

Besides that, I play guitar (badly) keyboard (badly) and trombone (somewhat unbadly, though I haven't practiced much). That's pretty much it, I guess.

Yeah, but it's a very shallow game, and thus not interesting enough to spend time on once you can consistently finish it. It's like the game "solve a Rubik's cube" - although it takes skill, there's not enough in the game to keep people playing once they can solve the cube. So you have to start timing your solves (or counting moves) if you want to improve past the point where you can get the best possible score every time (that is, a solve, which is way too easy). Besides, I don't play *every* skill game, nobody would have the time for that :P
