I'm somehow one of the better Shoot-2-Win players in the world. For those who don't know, it's that basketball arcade game where you shoot for 45-60 seconds. It's funny because I'm not a good basketball player. I normally average 80-90 points a game for 45 seconds; I also have a personal best of 103, which is practically unbeatable since there are only 2 digits on the board to keep score (I turned it fully over to 00 and made another 3 pointer).

I never knew I had this talent untill me and some buddies started playing at our college bar. Some kid was running his mouth about his record (65) and I thought I would give it a shot (having no idea I was any good). Well I put up 90 and the kid and everyone around was speechless. I'm like a circus freak with that game because of how fast and accurate I can shoot. It's how I got the nickname Thunder Dan.

It is such a unless talent. The only noterity I have earned with it is that I beat Damon Jones' record at Cleveland's Dave and Busters (96), and as far as I know I still hold it.


anyone have any freakish talents?

I'm sorry to say I don't have an exceptional talent... I mean I've always been good at sports, having played football, rugby, basketball, tennis, ping pong, snowboarding etc :) I'm very good at all the sports I've ever played, granted, I'm not a pro at any of it of course. I also am extremely good at FPS shooter games such as Counter Strike, Call of Duty, Doom 3, Quake 4, etc. Useless, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Shoot-2-Win was the name of it at my college bar. It's different than at D&B b/c it's all synced up.

I'd love to play those guys to see how i stakc up. I already see his weakness-taking full shots-. I lean over and just rapid fire with my right hand and grab the balls with my left. I get off so many shots it's funny b/c of that method.

haha funny you ask me that. I just saw it last week. Those dudes are the biggest tools ever. But yeah I'll look into it. Right now all it's good for is a pitcher of Keystone Light if I find someone to hussle at the bar.

You need to find folks with deeper pockets to hustle.

I can make my eyebrows "dance" (I can move them up and down independently of one another) to the beat of whatever song. I can also wiggle my ears independently as well, roll my tongue into a "taco," fold it into a "W" shape, and I'm amazingly adept at cockblocking myself with any and all of the afore-mentioned talents.

I've had a lot of people tell me I can write well, and given that I will generally avoid discussing this subject at all costs (it is slightly embarrassing to me), I guess it counts as my only real "hidden talent".

..... Though I am very good at teaching/coaching the sport, I still suck at the actual game of basketball. I don't have very good hand/eye co-ordination; I am not flexible at all (when I stretch, I can barely touch past my knees); I am slow over short distances, and I weigh roughly 140 lbs at 6' tall. Some people are just not built to play sports.

while my overall basketball game could be considered average to good, my clutch factor is out of this world. I'll hit it from anywhere if it's for the w.
