Pretty good Viper. You play pool like NealT?

Haven't played in ages, but I did for some time, probably once a week.

Were you particularly good at it or is there no correlation between the two games? Just curious.

I'd say practice makes perfect, but I'm far from good. I can pot the balls, but struggle to make it in one break.

I think there is one, you need to be pretty good at eyeballing angles. Since it's pretty simple physics working on the table (law of reflection).

my scores are pretty darn bad :oops:

First shot: 32.53 then I improved on the second shot: 13.71

Need to play more Pool or subsims or actually, I'll visit the timezone arcade more often and play that Sniper Rifle game. It's fun (I'm currently ranked "E" "Public Nuisance" at the moment :stare:) and you get a SR controller (with a working scope :88)) :hmm:

Do you mean Silent Scope? IMO one of the coolest arcade games ever, except at 6' tall I always find the rifle is a bit too low for me and I have to hunch myself over, but I'm just making excuses for being a rotten shot.

That's the one! I reckon they should make it height adjustable, lol. I also blame the low height for my bad ranking (I'm 5'6" and also had to hunch a little :stare:) but I seem to be getting better somewhat, lol. :88)
