kidtsunami:
i've heard of much more confusing and fucked up keyboard layouts.... to each his own ;-)
nihilist:
Well, yeah. I have a friend who plays FPSs with a joystick and the number pad. Nothing has ever compared to that.
happybirthdaygelatin:
I'm trying to imagine playing a FPS with an old Atari Pong style paddle.

I was initially a pro-PS2 nut for 2 years. When I pulled my head out of my but and ditched the "Bill Gates is in a secret room" paranoia and played Halo and DOA3, plus gotta love the hard drive, I became an Xbox convert. Although 3 flavors of Xbox2 I think is lame (still a rumor), they haven't put crap out about the Xbox2, and they chose to use the ATI graphics (hopefully they will make a new chip that supports 3.0 shaders and not used the gimped X8xx chip), I'm on the middle leaning towards Xbox2.
PS3 sounds impressive, but I don't want to buy 3 PS3s, or have a smart toilet, to play some new suped up game that needs the horsepower. 1 console, 1 game is the best option.
As for Nintendo, the GameCube was lame...especially the controller w/that BIG green utton that seems to hide the 3 that are around it. I just haven't been impressed w/Nintendo as of late. They aren't the trend setters anymore, they're followers, hence their position in the console market. Look at the stupid GameBoy for example. The basically the same crap screen since the first GameBoy. I'm reading about thin screens that can wrap around cans that Coca-Cola could use for advertising, yet Nintendo couldn't think of doing what Sony was doing? Nintendo is dying a slow painful death. They should just cave into the rumors and make games for all the consoles right now, because they will make money back that they've lost since they came out w/the GameCube.
airon:
I think Nintendo should still make games because I still like Mario, but I think they should take him in a new direction. Mario should be all RPG all the time, that would kick so much ass. The Paper Mario games are on the top of my favorite games list. and RE4 (even though Nintendo didn't develop it) is perfectly tuned for the GC controller. Viewtiful Joe kicked ass. But, alas, this is like talking about how John Kerry(nintendo) would being a better president than Bush(sony). I think you're right about nintendo going the way of sega... but I don't want to believe it.
