Episode description

Do you like typing? 

Smashing your little fingies down on your keyboard, laptop or touchscreen to make wonderful words manifest into being?

How about typing to play a game? Not just bouncing across W, A, S and D as you whip your mouse around for frags, but using the actual letters themselves to manipulate on-screen action?

Join the Our Three Cents team, as well as members of the developer RNG Party Games, as we plot the checkered history of the typing genre via MS DOS commands and edutainment, through Typing of the Dead and Pokémon Typing Adventure, to modern examples like Epistory, The Textorcist and RNG's own Backspace Bouken!

Whether you're a touch typist, or a one-digit stabber; come revel in the clickety-clack of the keyboard!
