: Like you I only use the keyboard but I feel it's time for another keyboard
: vs. mouse flame war. ;)

: Bungie during the Marathon era were all keyboarders which probably explains
: why there was never any imperative to get the mouse working properly.

When I first played Marathon 2, I only used keyboard. When I heard about Aleph One about half a year ago, I naturally used keyboard again, since this is what I was accustomed to.

But you know what changed my mind? Out of all things, it was the Vidmaster page. The vast majority of the old vidmasters were keyboarders, and at first I was glad to be a fellow keyboarder in the midst of such great company. But then I saw Todd Keating's films (the Grenade Jumping Tutorial guy), and for some reason his films impressed me more than all the others. And the reason why? He was a mouser. His aiming was so much better, his movement was more natural, and his films were more entertaining than all the other vidmasters of old. And after I saw his films, I knew I that I had to convert, even though it wasn't easy. And I'm glad I did.
