Here’s a fun productivity enhancing tip that I picked up from JP at the Nothin But Net course I just took.

If you’re much of a gamer, then Typing of the Dead, an old Sega game that was released in 1999, will probably make you wince due to the poor graphics and absurd storyline. In fact, it appears to have won the dubious honor of being runner up in one of PC World’s top 10 worst games list.

Nevertheless, I’m hooked.

It could be because I’m one of the only men under 40 that I know who doesn’t own a gaming system and therefore have incredibly low standards when it comes to games. In fact, the last one I remember owning was an Atari back in High School.

It might just be because I have a soft spot in my heart for zombies every since I read World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War.

Whatever the reason, I’ve been dismembering hoards of zombies in the last week and hopefully increasing my typing speed in the process.

If you’ve already mastered a tool like ReSharper and are looking to eek out some more productivity by simply increasing your typing speed, then I recommend downloading a copy of the game here and giving it a try. It installs through a simple setup bat file.

It is no longer being sold, so there is no need to worry about pesky copyright laws.

Happy typing.
