I'd have to hold the controller to be sure, but I suspect that thing will have the same unfortunate problem that plagued me with the 360: the plastic encasing the triggers on the back hits my knuckles. I don't know if it's because I'm a female gamer with small hands or what but the 360's controller has never been…

The Sony walkman in the 80's ran on AA batteries...... The Xbox One controller in 2013 will be powered by the same source that Sony used almost 30 years ago!!

I'll be honest...

The battery pack in my 360 controllers lasted less than a 6 months before becoming useless. My PS3 controllers are still going strong after almost 2 and a half years.

Presents, of course. We're not savages ;)

Hot dogs and presents?

So glad we keep simple in the boonies. Cousins and cake. What more could a kid want?

I think whoever does the asking should be the one who pays.

Although, circle of life: plant it, a new potato plant grows out of it, plant one of the potatoes from that one, and keep it goin'. Sentimentality achieved due to how easy it is to grow potatoes!

See, I never understand responses like this. If it helps her cope to think she has some little sign her husband is watching over her, who is that hurting? It's not like she's sitting the potato down and talking to it like it's a way to get messages to her husband or something. She's taking it as a sign her husband is…

Heh. I suppose my view is somewhat skewed, because wayyyy back when there was still such a thing as an Electronics Boutique, I worked there—and only two guys worked in the store. At the time, I didn't know how unusual that was, until I went to temp in another store. I had customers who flat-out would not talk to me…

Sexism at Gamestop? No way!

I worked there when it was still called Funcoland, but most of this still applied. Confused parents were always a battle, because they couldn't tell you anything about what their kids like or play. It usually went something like:

They forgot the employee who assumes that you're there for your boyfriend/brother/kid.

Exactly! Its the ones who force us to breathe it at bus-stops or at the entrance the mall that are the problem. As long as you don't force others to stand next to or walk through your smoke, I don't care. Just don't light up at doorways or three feet away from someone's beach blanket or at a bus stop or in a line-up.…

But think of all the service workers whose cigarettes get them through work!

I'm kidding, but seriously, some customers should wear nametags that say "You will want either a smoke or a stiff drink after dealing with me."

Thank you for not showing a snippet of the photo in the main article the way that Gawker did earlier today. I will see those knees forever.

Yeah but last time I checked, a cigarette can't get you from I-29 to N Oak Trafficway in 15 minutes.

If a bus sat in a park for half an hour puffing out fumes, I'd be upset about the bus too.

I'm really allergic to pot smoke, and I've had friends whose asthma acts up around pot smoke, so while it may not have all of the same carcinogens as regular cigarette smoke, it's not necessarily made up of rainbows and children's laughter like some people like to pretend (not you in particular, but other pot…
