Most companies are. I suspect even companies that make a point of trying hard when they're on top just don't work as hard as when their asses are on the line.

The situation isn't completely parallel, but I hear ya.

I'm getting one, too. So there's another.

Yeah, I'm not fond of the 360 controller either. Dual Shock has always been my jam.

I'll bet this thing is great at cornering. You know, because Mercedes Bendz.

I love how she's got a New York accent. Grew up in the jungles... Of Brooklyn?

I went immediately to "Jungle Boogie"

Gimmicks are their bread and butter. NES got shelf space in the US by packing ROB in with the system (when retailers weren't keen to sell video games, they packaged it as a "toy"), the SNES added shoulder buttons (it wasn't completely obvious they'd become the standard just yet), the N64 gave us the analog stick, the…

Competitive gamers are complainers the world over.

If they keep playing that music, they'll probably GET some, ifyaknowwhatimean.

Why is that? Looking at the thing, it looks sorta like a cross between the Xbox 360 controller, and an inverted Dual Shock. I have no idea what to make of it.

Think so? I'm not sure, really. Kinda hoping MK8 is a huge seller though. I really, really want to see the Wii U pull out of this.

Rather the opposite of Microsoft, whose hubris brought us a lackluster Xbone. And during the last generation, Sony, who released a system that was way too expensive and opened the door for the 360.

That end song put me in the mood!

Why is this? Do wireless controllers have more lag or something?

I'm okay with people who might be called "tranny" by the public at-large using this word with friends among others who are like them. But this is not a word that is ready for literal prime-time. I don't like it even being used around cis-people who aren't hip, because they might take it as license to use it…

I used to get really mad about things like that back when I was a dude. I felt excluded. Liked being around women, and didn't like being othered.

Is Peggle 2 guy going to be there?
