With a mouse you just pick it up, move it back and keep turning, and it's obviously not a problem with an analoge stick.
With an analog stick, what happens when you move it all the way to the side? Think about it for a second.
Now imagine you are holding the remote and move it all the way off to one side. Now while this thought is in your head, quickly look up an inch or so and reread the previous paragraph.
Sega is already taking a large interest in this controller and I believe others will follow if they want to be on the cutting edge of the market.
Sega is completely irrelevant to the modern gaming industry.
Please, point out a mistake in my logic. There are a few decent titles, but for the most part: crap, mediocre crap, rehashed crap, and badly rehashed crap.
I used to really like Sega. The Dreamcast was cool enough to redeem them for the SegaCD, 32X, and Saturn. Unfortunately its end was also the end of Sega, as far as I'm concerned.
On the one hand, I've made numerous posts lambasting him for welching on his promise to post original content instead of simply whoring himself out to 1up.com every ten minutes.
On the other hand, his original content is horrible. It's way too long. It has no point.
've got $5 down that says the Revolution will fail and most likely will be Nintendo's last system. Generally older companies like this come up with hair brained ideas like this to try and regain their market share of days past.. Sorry Nintendo, as much as I enjoyed growing up with you guys, your reign has faded and is long gone.
Possibly their last system in direct competition with home consoles. I think they'll churn out handhelds and other oddities for a long while.
Zonk only reads 1up.com, Gamasutra, and The Escapist. He makes a best effort to post every single article he reads (well, skims) there, but sometimes he misses one.
If you've never found it worth your while to vote but the fear of video game regulations spur you to the polls...please stay home and don't vote. Really. Just stay at home.
If war, taxes, social security, the looming spectre of Supreme Court nominations, national defense, freedom of the press, a sense of civic duty, job creation, prison overcrowding, welfare, seperating church and state, defending your Constitutional rights, metropolitan transit, energy policies, trade policies, and being a decent human being weren't enough to make you cast your ballot, well, fuck off and don't vote.
True. I'm not too fond of the Robotron update from a few years back in comparison to how fond of Tempest2000 I am (still).
I haven't played the updated one. I mostly play the MAME version with my PS2 controller.
There's a game called Mutant Storm for the PC that's a lot of fun. Same control scheme as Robotron but you're a spaceship. The graphics are really nice but it's a bit too easy.
so sorry you have trouble reading and there are a lot of people underestimating this device...
it's okay i know that it's hard sometimes to bother with things that make it easier to read or understand sometimes when you are writing it's easier just to let it all run out into a stinking puddle of filth into the textbox there's really no reason to bother if anyone can understand it or not because it's all pointless to begin with so just start typing and let it go and we'll all understand or not depending on how long what you wrote was but that's just the way it goes...
You have to remember something, though: "Optional" upgrades are typically ignored by the punters and underused by the developers, specially third party developers.
That's only the case when you want to disparage the Xbox 360. In Nintendo land lack of third party support is a badge of honor and a sign that things are going as planned.
That was my first thought, too. The old commercials for it where they showed the dude playing PunchOut were almost identical to the Revolution teaser video.
The condition of the display model DS's that I've seen actually make me a little nervous when I'm playing the "rub" levels on Wario Ware. I try to tell myself that people were probably using things other than the stylus. Argh.

Not having Flash installed trumps the blocker.
I just refuse to power on my computer.
Take that, advertisers!
I was just being an ass. You probably had HTML mode on.
Yes! Bread and circuses for everyone! Hoorah! Hoorah!
Let us eat cake and sip hot coffee.
Democracy at work!
Alternatively, go ahead and vote just to piss this guy off.
Sure! There's room in this handbasket for all of us.
What the fuck are you talking about, man?
Snap out of it!

Phew! All this thinking has made me hungry.

but generations require a complete redesign, not just bits and pieces.
Hi! You're stupid! Because of what you wrote right there!
Bye!
I'm torn.

Decision: Zonk sucks. Please fire Zonk.

Where are you getting your info, Netcraft?

Thanks.
You might try starting on nvidia's page.
Link.
If you scroll down there's some links to supported hardware.
Hope that's of some help.

Robotron 2084 is the best game ever.
SmashTV and the sequel, Total Carnage, were fun but the ability to continue detracted from the insanity that Robotron provides.

Get with the times, dude!
So, uh, buy one.
With all the articles about Google that get posted here, nobody seems to understand how to use it.
I have a revolutionary invention for you. It's called a line break.
See?
So easy!
You can buy goggles to do this already, but they suck. Most modern video cards are capable of outputting stereo images.
It basically halves your refresh.
I miss those games
Probably because you haven't played them recently.
That was my first thought, too. The old commercials for it where they showed the dude playing PunchOut were almost identical to the Revolution teaser video.
Not again!
Same tired xbox shit, now with shader 3.0 support!
Most of them were so dark I couldn't tell what was going on. Shader 3.0: so shady you can hardly see it!
I know!
Stop touching yourself!
And using exclamation points!
And touching me!
With your peener!
On my face!
You cock gobbling douchebag!
Ha!
Ha!
