Far Cry 2

Joysticks are different than a mouse, the move more of a diagonal direction, whereas a mouse is a 1d surface.

Well, I guess it depends on who you're talking to, some people may think it's quite different, I personally don't feel these two are very different in a context where I'm controlling some sort of object in space.

The first time I picked a FPS game where you could actually look up and down (it was "Outlaws"), I had headaches trying to play it for like a week until I started to fiddle with the options. I found the "revert Y axis" option (I wasn't very bilingual at the time so I didn't understand all the options quite well), and when I toggled it, it was immediate relief. So, like I said, it's innate I think. I wonder what's the percentage of people who are in my situation, I'd be curious to see if it was correlated with the % of people who are more "ears"-focused and those who are more "eyes"-focused.

Out of curiosity, why are you 'ear focused'?

Out of curiosity, why are you 'ear focused'?

I was trying to find the proper word for this in English, but couldn't. Um. How can I put it....

For instance, in school, they usually tell teachers to vary the way they teach to cater to the three large groups of different learning styles. Some are visual learners, some are auditory learners, some are kinesthetic learners (they learn by doing, hands-on approach). I'm part of the auditory people I guess. If I plug my ears or put headphones on, I have this strange feeling that I'm not really wherever I am, my eyes just show me a film.

Powerpoint is the bane of my existence. When I first started to encounter it on a regular basis in University, it completely tuned me out of whatever was going on. For me, the teacher constantly referring to this visual cue completely takes away my focus from what is actually being said. I hate it. I'd say about 25% of teachers use powerpoint in a way that I liked. When I had to use powerpoint for my own presentation, there were very few words on them. I think this is supposed to be the norm, but whatever.

There isn't really anything to explain, you're some combination of a visual-auditory-kinesthetic person, I'm probably like 15-70-15, most people probably have a better balance, hehe. Everybody is auditory to some extent, which is why most people reading whatever I described above can probably identify with it to some extent. It's just the extent of it that I can't explain in words.

Ah, it sort of soudned like before that you had been blind as a child or something and were thus much more attuned to sound.

I have a much more balanced learning system, probably 30-30-40 (for a total of 100 )

It all happened after my eyes were subjected to 80s clothes as a child. I'm still in therapy.

Its amazing how much more you can see with your eats then yours eyes when your really listening.

I had to reread that like twice before I realized it was a typo
