that is an atari 2600 controller. NOT a n64 controller. Please get your retro gaming icon name right. I played the Atari 2600, I loved those oblong big ass pixels...

It occurs to me that if AOL/TW do actually want ship a Linux OS that can actually wean AOLusers off of Windows entirely, then they could do a lot worse than to use some pocket lint to buy Loki and help make Linux a viable games platform.
Picture the difference:
Hello, nVidia, this is Joe from Loki calling about your shitty Linux drivers, if you've got a minute, sir, please, please god, don't hang up on me again...
THE AOL/TW COLLECTIVE DEMANDS BETTER SUPPORT FOR AOLINUX. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

I always laugh when I hear someone say that Linux was not designed to play games (or that Linux is not a gaming/desktop OS or whatever.....)
:O)
Here's the thing:
Linux was created to be a UNIX-like OS on a 386 when the only option at the time was minix which was very sub-par.
UNIX was created by Ken Thompson to play games on his PDP-7
Therefore I would argue that Linux was, in fact, designed to play games. Just on a 386 not a PDP-7
