Porcupine_I on 19 October 2010

i just watched a German TV show where they made a interesting experiment.

they rigged a car in a way that it would show a third person view when you sit inside and then they had a pro-racer and a  gamer compete with each other and the gamer won due to his experience with GTA.

they also did the same with climbing and walking over a narrow plank, and the gamer won all the competitions

here is the link to the show, sorry german only:

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Are these pro's the best in the business or just a paid driver and climber/plank-walker (not that I know how a gamer would gain the physical ability to climb faster by having a TV in front of them).

i am sure they were not "the best in the business" but i still think it was quite a interesting experiment.

The driver was introduced as a professional Stuntman and Hobby-Race driver. He said he had 30 years of experience and was real good driving through the obstacle course normally and completely failed in 3rd person mode, where the gamer was much better.

ah, that explains a lot. I figured the gamer was in 3rd person and the "pros" were doing it normally.

Yes, that's what I assumed as well. The feat seems much less impressive now.

Hello.

The rider was introduced as a professional Stuntman and Hobby-Race rider.For some of us, it is not about coming in 1st place, but rather about the fun of racing against other people. I know the assumption that you are going to get first place in one’s first race is nothing but foolish. We can all make excuse as to why we did not finish first, but in the end, it comes to the point where we realize that all sports take time to get used to.
