Fast reaction times aren't a prerequisite for a job at hecklerspray. That's generally a good thing – many's the day when a roll of sellotape is thrown between desks, only for the receiver to indifferently swipe his hand three entire days later.

Slam, though – Jesus Christ, we're not sure that psychic amphetamined-up ninja fighter pilots have got the reaction times to play Slam with any amount of success. We should probably explain Slam to you, shouldn't we. If Pong is tennis, then Slam is squash. A ball is fired into the air, and two paddles take turn to bounce it back into the air again. While that sounds like an almost childishly easy thing to accomplish, Slam operates at such a blisteringly frenetic pace that it's hard to keep up – and then gets faster and faster. Slam moves so fast that half the time you won't even know whose turn it is, let alone be able to construct any kind of winning strategy. When you play Slam, it somehow manages to be over before you've got your brain to piece together what's actually happened, and it's all the better for it.
