The CPU opponent in Paddle War is a retard.

I sat still doing nothing, with my hands away from the keyboard, with the paddleball game running. And I lost. But this loss was 17-21, not exactly a landslide victory for the CPU. :painted

I mean seriously, you must really suck at a game when your opponent scores 17 points against you and he's NOT EVEN PLAYING. :| :lol

Keen must be quite bad at video games, having the attention span to play this game over and over during his space flights. :p

I haven't lost to the computer in Paddle War since I was in grade school. You can literally get two or even three shots in on it for the price of one, and all it takes is a steep angled bounce off the the far side of the screen, preferably far left. When the ball respawns, it literally just sort of flies into the score zone once or twice before the computer paddle knows what's going on.

So it isn't only me who thinks hitting the ball to left is easier.

It's annoying how the ball tends to go through your paddle's border, though. I don't know how many times that happened to me. <_<
