The original PSX controller was pretty good back when it was first released but it's awful these days. The sticks are just slapped on and are not ergonomically placed at all.
Ninite is brilliant. If you have a decent Internet connection you just watch the progress bar go along and marvel as the various desktop shortcuts of newly-installed apps just start appearing in front of you...
Um... no. No, and also, no. If you think a controller is fine for FPS gaming, you are not very good at FPS games. This is a fact, not an opinion. The controller does not offer the precision that a KB/Mouse offers, plain and simple.
I didn't mention anything about precision, I just said that a controller is fine for playing FPS games. Because they are. I can flick between playing BF3 and Halo Reach without any difficulty at all.
Anyone who has progressed beyond just sitting down to a quick game of deathmatch to something resembling competitive play will tell you straight out that a controller is a joke for serious play. The fact that you think an controller is fine for FPS indicates you've not progressed beyond the occasional game with your friends on a Saturday night, therefore, you aren't really qualified to make a judgement call as to whether or not a controller is "fine for FPS."
I have been playing PC and console FPS games since Doom. I would play Doom, Duke Nukem 3D and Quake for hours on the college network.
Many HDTVs introduce a lot more lag than a monitor, so your argument there is also false. Although, many PC monitors do have quite a bit of lag. Again, if you're buying a monitor for gaming, you should make sure you get one with low latency.
So you say that some monitors have high latency and some HDTVs have high latency. How is my argument false?
The controller is fine for FPS games and HDTVs have the same amount of lag that PC monitors do.
Achievements are just a continuation of what have been in games from the very beginning - a high score. Which titles last only 5-10hrs at the most? That's nonsense.
I agree. Halo Reach may have been a bit shorter than I would have liked and they overdid it on the hunter enemies a bit, but it was a great game and a great end to the series at that point.
I have played through the entire campaign about six times now and looking forward to the anniversary release of the original Halo game.
Comparing older hardware to newer hardware and saying that what is being done on the older hardware is absolutely embarrassing compared to the newer hardware?
I have always wondered this as well and it seems that even the cable-makers have the same problem - I swear that not every device or cable has the USB symbol on the right side of the connection either!

Bog off ya bastids. I uploaded some of my own work there last week.
Hopefully they will leave it there.
It explains the popularity of Sarah Palin. Well, other than all the men who just wanted to see her naked perhaps.
Where did he keep all those tubes?
As someone who just the other day uploaded torrents of their own work to some torrent sites this news intrigues me.

Diablo is just a slightly fancier take on Gauntlet. Where does the notion that it is deep and complicated come from?
No you aren't. That doesn't mean the idea has much merit though.
There simply isn't the infrastructure at either end to make all the games downloadable. The USB drive idea is too expensive compared to optical discs.
My one goes all the way up to 11.

No, just overly ignorant of your own ignorance.
You are still placing the blame here on the person who is buying rather than the person who is telling the lies.

With all the little hairy fellows flying around, the truck loses it's grip on the road.
Maybe it's like that scene in Finding Nemo where all the fish swim in the same direction to break free of the net. Except it's the other way around.
The guy sold portable music players and mobile phones to people. Why do those people have such an emotional attachment to the man?
Steve? How long have the hospital been allowing you to use the Internet?
Yup, the next episode of CSI: Slashdot is going to be based on your heroic exploits.

But he is also wrong. NASA and the astronauts were political tools from the very beginning and today is no different.
When the astronauts themselves realised this they became incredibly jaded and it's why several of them went a bit doo-lally in the years afterwards.
Every man loves the whiff of his own farts.
It's not quite the same thing but anyone interested in a non-shooter FPS type game should check out Amnesia: Dark Descent.
It's pretty creepy but the puzzles are pretty good and so is the story and voice acting. Should be available for not too much dosh on Steam.

This must be the games section of Slashdot.

And then imagine that they are running Quake whilst being beowulf clustered in Soviet Russia.
Some of the text messages I receive read as if the sender was only subconscious.
