Let's just hope he doesn't go down the super-villain road, then.

So this concept is not foreign at all. America lives by it.

What? This is easily the most ridiculous thing I've read all day. I'm a grad student, and I make less that $20k per year. On top of that, there are thousands of dollars in school fees that I pay out of pocket every year. And guess what? I get by just fine. In fact, I'm actually building up a nice savings. And I…

I am of the opposite opinion, I think the right should be closer in tune with buttons. Ergo the nubs that Refenes suggested.

You should read the article again, then. It's pretty clear it's nothing "like a touchscreen", and that it feels very physical.

As a PC gamer, it addressed one of my problems with controllers - the joysticks. Those trackpads sure feel a lot like a mouse. Also since it's hackable, you could configure them into behaving like a touchpad instead of an analog joystick. It would react to how you swipe your finger, instead of how where your finger is…

It's because they feel they need to justify their allegiance to whatever console. Half of the detractors clearly haven't read the article properly (because why would they consider something that goes against their closely held beliefs) and are saying dumb shit like "but you can't have ABXY together" or "it'll never be…

Sure, but when you have multiple people that have tried it say that those pads don't feel worse than analog sticks, and it's still the beta model...it's a good sign at the very least.

READ THE ARTICLE. They plainly say that they used the buttons in the right circle for what you would generally assign to ABXY, despite the buttons labeled as such on the controller.

No.

Who cares about CLANG and motion controls? I've seen Overgrowth.

For some people that's certainly the case but I know quite a few people who have comfortable salaries (50k+) yet still have tens of thousands in credit card debt. Why? Because they cannot exercise even a modest level of self control. They spend until there's nothing left to spend, realize they don't have enough to…

I have been so dissatisfied by kickstarter projects I supported that part of me wishes this lawsuit happens and provides a reference for the future. Kickstarter is full of unfulfilled promises by the creators, that it is time someone shook things up a bit so more seriousness was put into developing a project. If you…

It looks like it would be useful for FPS, maybe some RPGs and strategy games... and that's about it. Any action games, platformers, etc, which need to use face buttons would be severely hindered. Fighting games are obviously out of question.

"Project Creators are required to fulfill all rewards of their successful fundraising campaigns or refund any Backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill."

Uh, actually they are. It's right there. If they get the money they are obligated to return it or fulfill the…

Oh, I just noticed this bit too:

That extensive hands on time you had with it must have been pretty brutal.

To make $30k after taxes as a single person with a standard deduction, no dependents, assuming all income comes from earned income (no interest, capital gains etc), then you would need to make 32,400 annually.

To be honest, this is a very "American" mentality to have. "Who wants to live with nothing and not participate in life for 40 years".

So, dj4934, what you're saying is that people shouldn't save because "it's difficult". This sounds like a bunch of excuses to me. Nothing worth having wasn't worth working for.
