Weird, we must be remembering different controllers. You're correct about the button and stick descriptions, but it was very comfortable and usable for the time. I loved it. I made fun of it in all the photos, then the first time it melted into my hands I was very, very happy.

The Dreamcast has the best good-to-bad game ratio of any system I've ever owned. I could practically point blindly at the retail shelf, buy something, and be assured a fun, quality, and even original experience. The system was full of clever, innovative games and new ideas. And the controller actually was quite great.

People will like anything that's flashy, fun, and "weird." I wouldn't really take YouTube likes as proof of much. Yes, they were entertained. I never suggested this couldn't entertain someone. Merely that it doesn't provide actual usefully interesting information like it's billed to.

As long as they include an error code, I'm fine with friendly errors. I'm an IT guy, so yes, I want to know exactly what went wrong, but I'm quite comfortable with them trying to make the software friendly to normies while giving me what I need to find the answer.

Kotaku promotes these as teaching us interesting facts we didn't know. My complaints and comments are meant to inform that perspective and point out that it's invalid. I don't think it's at all unreasonable to tell them that they're misrepresenting something they're posting, regularly, and to discuss why it doesn't…

This was a RARE video where they actually bothered to compare anything remotely relevant. And only a few of the items were. Most of it, and most of their other videos, are just numbers compared to other random things that provide you no useful or even interesting information.

They can't, because they're not actual interesting facts. Just random number comparisons of little value.

I care. I expected to learn something. Not compare numbers randomly. If you counted all the screws made in a Nexus 5, and sold them each for $.50, then X number of people could go get a latte. So? That doesn't actually tell me something I didn't know THAT'S INTERESTING. This isn't actually informative.

Sorry, but it's NOT the 90s anymore. M$, Micro$oft, MicroShaft, MicroShit, etc. haven't been clever for a couple decades now. They just make you look petty and out of touch.

Because graphical ability and screen resolution are entirely different concepts?

Never enjoyed using the Sixaxis/DS3 when playing on a friend's system. It did, indeed, feel like a toy. Way too light.

I've used both. Both are great. I wish the trackpad and light on the DS4 could be married with the overall feel and tactile triggers of the XB1. But yes, I'd say both are great this gen.

Most of them are Google Apps account, not personal Gmail accounts. Projects I'm involved in with their own domain names that I keep entirely separate from my personal mail. More professional in appearance, and better for organization. A couple of others are dedicated to specific tasks that also make sense to keep…

The main thing I'm waiting on is for Now to be able to parse more than one of my accounts. I'm spread between a variety of Google Apps and Gmail accounts, and it would be very nice to see it pull tracking and airline and other information from more than just my primary.

That has... nothing to do with Google Now. That was a Google.com search feature.

Why would I bet the Xbox One would be worse? There's no correlation. Companies learn, change, grow, improve. Look at how much better Sony is across the board in listening to customers and designing a good system for developers than the last-gen, meanwhile apparently made much less reliable hardware. Meanwhile look how…

Yeah, there's absolutely no way it's reasonable to carry an XL around for most people. Not sure the difference with you, but no. For one thing, since the DS having its screen cracked, I haven't dared keep one in my back pocket. But otherwise no, just too big. The 3DS is the maximum that seems reasonable.

Yeah, I can totally see how students, people with messenger bags, women with large purses, etc., would be covered. But I think I'm in the majority when I say I'm one of the people who doesn't. It just seems weird to me that when the DSi XL was pretty much just a cool niche extra option, the 3DS XL has become their…

My regular 3DS bulges my pocket and gets complaints from my girlfriend. No way an XL would be reasonable for a typical person. If you wear only baggy jeans, sure. But in slacks or slightly more form-fitting jeans? The regular one pushes it.

It's very sad to me that they seem to have abandoned the pocketable form factor. The XL seems to be their posterchild, and is getting all the cool limited editions, while some of us like to actually carry this thing with us...
