"Overweight" is a mental impurification which is very serious and requires therapeutic counselling and neurotic retraining. Please don't call them that.

*cough*

Yeah, so... this controller is great. If you enjoy consoles. *chuckle*

That controller would be great for PC, IMO, if they could apply it. It could easily stand in for WASD and a mouse.

Nintendo doesn't really make awesome violent games though, I thought? The vision was always to have G rated type crapola. I can't imagine they'll give us a nice bloody hack 'n slash.

You're right, definitely not Nintendo, but hopefully there will be lots of 3rd party support to create games like that, such as Resident Evil 4 for GC.

swinging a lightsaber around throughout an entire game would be so entirely boring. congrats on having to block blaster beams and kil enemy_789 in a row. i mean if you really want to do that you can go larp outside. those guys really get into it, youd fit right in. the reason the controller hasnt been changed that much since the 80s is because it is fine the way it is. if it isnt broke dont fix it.

It's bad enough when you play racing games with people and they lean into turns. Annoying shit, now they'll have a reason to. 8(

God that is one of my biggest pet peeves. WTF is wrong with people that do that? Like leaning is going to make you turn faster?

When I was playing Starfox I would duck when my ship flew under obstacles =(

laf reminds me of Smash TV was it?

When you played in single player mode you would use controller 1 and controller 2 and just hold the crossbars.

If the controller is as fast as an optical mouse, then this has some promise.

Be sure to check out "revolution" on ytmnd.com there are absolutely tons of them poking fun at this controller.

it's been a long time since I've heard "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". I give that YTMND an A+ for it.

Cyndi Lauper was ftw. Too bad it's just weird to hear a ...how old she now... sing it.

Worfless · 09-17-2005, 05:38 PM

i give that ytmnd an a+ just because i like boobies

Unless they're reaching for french-fries: then it's appropriate.

Ta,

You forget that we masturbate constantly because we can't get women. Fat people arms are really quite strong. Therefore flailing our arms around will be no alien motion. As long as we don't have to stand up, everything will be a-okay.

Could say the same about hitting fire in a fps. I really don't see the difference between using this controller to swing the lightsaber and pressing A and B. The controller still alows for all the other shit (jump, items, crouch etc) to be implemented into the game.
