I've found that many activities I excel at are also shared by other 2+2'ers, which I guess is why we've all found a home here. /images/graemlins/cool.gif Around my normal circle of everyday life, I excel at games. But here, there's surely someone better at every game out there than I. From poker to video games to board games to Magic: the Gathering, there's probably someone here that is better than I am at any in particular.

If I had to pick one that I think I'd beat other 2+2'ers at, though, I'd go with WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne. I haven't played in awhile, but given a few weeks I could probably be in shape to stand toe to toe with anyone here. That is, as long as TillerMaN (whom I've heard plays poker actually) isn't a lurker. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

There may be some D1 level basketball players on here, but if not, I may be the best basketball player. I was pretty good in my prime, no Doyle Brunson though. I haven't lost one on one in over a decade, despite not shying away from any challenges. I have a hunch that there's a great basketball player here though.

As stated, I'm a monster at quarters, as well as most other drinking games, especially Beirut. I've seen some people who are ridiculously good at beer pong though, and it seems a lot of 2+2ers are big drinkers as well, so I won't claim that I'm the best here. Quarters for sure though.

I played a lot of video games when I was younger, far too much, and I was all but unbeatable in at least three: Perfect Dark, Tekken 3, and NBA Jam. Unless someone here devoted a (very) large part of their life to one of these games, I am the greatest.

Which books?

[Chobohoya]

I might be the best at Beiruit (Beer Pong). Qualifications: I've been called in as a guest shooter to hit a 7 cup rebuttal, multiple shutouts, and a cash game winrate of something like 75%.

If that's not enough, I'm probably the best at violin. I doubt anyone else here even plays though, so that's not really fair.

I work in a residential treatment center for boys in NY State. Large, private non-profit, we are paid by the counties and state social services / child welfare people. Most of our youth are black/hispanic and from urban areas of NY. I work in an independent living department, so my job is twofold. We have some kids in a transitional apartment program directly supervised by us, I tutor them, do behavioral counseling etc. We also run independent living groups (life skills stuff, mandated by NY state for youth in placement) for all the kids in the regular residential units (approx 200 kids between myself and 3 other staff). Write detailed progress notes on all of the above. I also developed the assessment system we use in the transitional program and track the youth 'scores' via daily checklists and log notes from myself and other staff.

It's insane.

NT

EDIT: As far as training, one of my BA concentrations was in Law/Social Science and I have about 100 hours of on-the-job clinical, group leadership and policy training. Our department is somewhere between a postgrad clinical position and a normal direct care position, usually people have to come into it with a large amount of experience in residential work. I started it at age 20 after being there as a tutor for 1.5 years, which was wild.

Currently working on getting an MSW and moving into a strictly clinical capacity.

Put me down for bubble hockey. I've never found anyone who could beat me. I've only found a few who would require a modicum of effort to beat. 99% of those I played, I could beat with one hand literally behind my back. To get a money game, I would have to give spots such as conceding all face-offs; no goalie; no center; one hand behind the back; no shots on goal with my eyes open; or combinations of those.

I hadn't played in about 10 years. Then last summer I visited a cousin who has the game in his rec room. Full-size arcade version. His teenage son was the house champ, so I played him. I was up 3-0 in about 10 seconds. The kid remained focused. "You're not gonna beat me," he kept saying.

I decided to show off. My left winger had the puck. Instead of centering, or going behind the net to the right winger, I cleared it back around the boards behind my own net, where my right defenseman got it.

"Cam Neely plays it back to Ray Bourque," I announced, "...be-HIND the net..."

(Bruins HOF radio announcer Bob Wilson always punched that second syllable of behind. "...be-HIND the net...")

I fired the shot from behind my goal line, whizzing it through traffic and past the out-of-position goalie.

"HE SCORES! Raymond Bourque, from 180 feet away, gives the Boston Bruins a 4-0 lead! I've never seen anything like it!"

The kid's jaw dropped for a moment. Then he shook it off. "You're not gonna beat me," he said.

I conceded the ensuing face-off, and stoned his breakaway effort. The puck went to my left defenseman.

"Gord Kluzak goes after it, passes it be-HIND the net to Bourque..."

The goalie was out of position again, giving me half the net to shoot at, but a few of his players had the middle of the neutral zone clogged. But the wings weren't clogged...

"Bank shot," I announced.

"Yeah, right," the kid said.

I took aim at the spot where the red line meets the right-side boards, and fired.

"He scores!!! He called his shot, like Babe Ruth!"

The kid's shoulders slumped. "Maybe you ARE gonna beat me."

(BTW, if Kluzak could've stayed healthy, he would've gone to the HOF alongside of Raymond--if they let defensive-minded defensemen in the HOF.)

Seriously though, thats a nice 20 hours of driving... I have done 8-10 several times without getting tired, but I can't really imagine doing 20 without some good stimulants.

I have driven the whole length of the Alaska Highway (~1500 miles) without stopping.

I meant without stopping for sleep. It's a beautiful drive that I wish I had taken more time to enjoy.

I was a professional waiter

just say you were real good, as i dont think any waiters work for free.

One more, because I'm such a badass. I can almost certainly work the ILC software suite better than anyone else on these boards. Probably in large part because no one here has ever heard of ILC before, or if you have, they didn't bother to teach you how to work with most of it, because they can pay student co-ops $14/hr to fix any problems instead of sending an engineer out there a couple times to do training. Unless you're CNBC/DirecTV/DoD, in which case you do get lots of training.

[Argus]

11 pages just to make sure that nobody else took it first. Now I can claim that I am most likely the best DJ on 2+2. That's a good feeling because it took me until about page 8 to think of something I might be good at. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

I'm the best foosball player by far.

My Minesweeper times are 3, 28, 95

The World Records are: 1, 10, 41


The Minesweeper Videos (http://metanoodle.com/minesweeper/videos.html) are really cool. Make sure to download the codec.

I'm sure I'm the best at these video games for N64:
Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire.

I'm somewhat certain I'm the best at these:
MarioKart 64 and Super Monkey Ball

And I'll just assume I have the biggest music collection on 2+2. I'll also assume I have the biggest TV and movie collection too.

Goldeneye - Multiplayer Licensed to kill. Single player - many have beat the games and got all the cheats but I would match my times against almost anyone. Facility - 1 min 25 secs.

Holy crap, 1:25 at facility is pretty amazing. I played some goldeneye but that one cheat just seemed waaay outta there. Are there any tricks? Because I can't run that fast to the end in Agent mode with invisibility on /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'm also having trouble with control on 00-Agent, that bitch natalya always dies on me.

well its either skiing or hockey!

not much terrain on this planet i can't ski...but i've seen BK's avatar but i dunno exactly how good he is nor have i ever talked to him (from what i remember) about it.

hockey im a little less good at relative to my skiing, but still, unless there are some serious hockey players here who played at the college level then im probably best at that here...

as far as others...id be surprised if Barry didn't rank high in like 80% of the crap mentioned here.

primarily throughout my early life at montre blanc in montreal and killington/stratton in VT.

lately, however, i have been fortunate enough to ski Utah and Austria. in utah in 6 days i skied alta, snowbird, park city, and deer valey (2 days at park city and 2 days at deer valley). in austria i skied in St.Anton am Arlberg.

honestly, utah was the best yet.
