David Lynch doesn’t just make films and series—he also spends his free time teaching. This time, anyone can be his student in David Lynch Teaching Typing, a game where you learn to use the keyboard with the surrealist director. Educational and fun, with Lynch’s unmistakable humor.
I remember when in my first year of high school I was taught to use a computer keyboard in ICT class. It was a boring class for those students who already had complete mastery of the peripheral, while for others it was torture trying to maintain the home row position with hands on the keyboard. But I’m sure all of that would have been completely different if the class had been given by David Lynch, the legendary film director responsible for wonders like Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, as well as the television series Twin Peaks.
But what does Lynch have to do with all this? Simple: David Lynch Teaching Typing is a game where the surrealist director teaches you to type. In fact, the class begins with the home row position, pressing the F and J keys. David congratulates you and now wants to test your skill, where again you must press the F and J keys as fast as you can. For your good work, Lynch rewards you with a break to have a coffee and smoke while background music plays. From now on, the class gets a little strange...
If you follow the career of this magnificent director, you know that strange humor is always present in his work. This game is no exception, but we’re not going to ruin the surprise, so discover it on your own. It’s also worth clarifying that this game is a parody and is in no way affiliated with the real David Lynch (the voice is impersonated by Luke Palmer, one of the game’s creators). Developed by Rhino Stew Productions, David Lynch Teaching Typing is available for free download on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Ideal to enjoy with a slice of cherry pie and a cup of coffee.
