![]() You need reaction times borne from a lifetime of playing games and crushing back cans of Monster at 2am. You need superhuman hand-to-eye co-ordination, the kind that could prise a SIM card from a phone without using a pen lid.

What about the everyday tasks a mildly cretinous games journalist has to deal with though?
