This brand was made for you and me: A holiday swag roundup

If you just added ‘and we are both detectives’ you’d have a hell of an 80s TV show.

NJ does have some excellent Indian food. Wedding food is kind of a category in itself, though - special-occasion, rich and calorie-dense. Regular everyday food in India is much simpler and less rich.

It’s true. Indian food here is generally terrible; it’s much better in Britain. Though homemade is better than either, if you’re into cooking.

I’m Palestinian and my wife is Jewish.

Low bar.

While Indian food is great on it’s own, being the best food in England is not much of a bar. It’s like being the best looking person at Berkeley.

The British Empire was built upon conquering peoples with much tastier cuisine than their own. 

Whenever I’ve been there, the best food in England has always been Indian! 

Like many things, this is one of those issues that you just feel or you don’t. Everyone has different hands. Some will find the symmetric sticks uncomfortable, and how uncomfortable they are will range from mild to severe. Some will not understand the issue at all because things are fine for them. Others still may…

I also found the DS4 to be the most durable console controllers I ever had: Three out of five Dualshock 3 gave up the ghost (and one of the remaining two seems to be close to doing so). Of the three Xbox 360 controllers I owned over the years, two broke. The Ouya controller (I don’t really want to talk about it) was…

The offset sticks on Xbox are fine... until you need to play a sidescroller on a D-Pad that may as well be UNDER the controller you have to reach down so far to use it.

I’ve come to realize that certain controllers are better for different types of games. The Gamecube controller is good for 3D platformers and Zelda games, the Xbox 360 controller is good for shooters and Souls-likes, and Playstation controllers are good for side-scrollers. I LOVE the Gamecube controller, but I would…

The X360 controller is pretty broadly regarded as one of the best controllers ever. If you’re including it on a ‘worst controllers’ list, you might be on drugs.

I think we have very different definitions of brilliant. They didn’t invent sharing, they just made it slightly more convenient.

Most people (myself included) seem to find the DS4 a lot more comfortable.

The Touchpad was used in EVERY game as the new Select Button.

I do believe the ones where the LED shows behind the touchpad stand up to this better.

I was really excited about replaying Sunset Overdrive a few years back only to discover that it doesn’t really allow for that. If you want to go through the campaign again from the start, you either have to delete your save or sign in under a different profile. No alternate save slots; no New Game+.

Sunset Overdrive was the launch game I surprisingly liked the best out of the lineup. I was fully expecting playing a bunch of Killer Instinct and Forza 5, but instead ended up playing kinda sorta Jet Set Radio killing soda zombies. It was a highly underrated game, and I’m a little surprised at the numbers given the…
