Going Boom - cquinn6972 - 08-08-2007
I have placed the tnt, fuse and the lighter...how far should I run to keep from being blown up? I ran around the corner, also behind the boxes. I keep dying. I have a laser mouse and it is hard to run. I try pressing W and LeftShift. Before I get very far BOOM!!! Dead!!! Any help would be appreciated.

It should work if you run around the corner. Or run as far as you can.
RE: Going Boom - Dark - 08-08-2007
it has nothing to do with your mouse
why is it hard to run for you?
RE: Going Boom - cquinn6972 - 08-08-2007
Well, when I move the mouse sometimes the arrow spins wildly around the screen. I tried to check if it is too sensitive. It just isn't as easy to control. I'll try to turn left and the next thing you know I'm in a tail spin and ended up in another direction. My hubby has a top ball mouse. Would that work better?
Running = W + LeftShift ???? Do you hold down constantly? I did run around the corner but then boom, red framed my screen and then I died. The boxes didn't work either. By the time I light the fuse and try to turn and flee, I get as far as just around the corner... BOOM!!! That is all she wrote.

those marble mice are great. I bought one years ago, and never thought of trying anything else. I love them on games, working on the computer, everything.

The arrow spins wildly across the screen? I hope you're not using interact mode!
I just turned around (Having quite high sensitivity, but it's all ok with me) and ran. If you can't turn around, just hit S to walk backwards (Moonwalk for the world!).
