Typing to the finish line

Some of the earliest "video" games I ever played were educational games. Before Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? I had this game on my PC where letters would fall out of the sky and you would have to zap them out.

Loved it. I think that's why I can type as fast as 82 wpm. I thought that was fast until I saw the leaderboard on Typeracer.

It's a simply game, really. You compete with other users and try to type a line from a movie or book. Half carnival game, half educational, and half pop culture, its 150% fun.

I just want to note that I just spent about 30 minutes typing to try to up my average.
