  1. Be that as it may, I cannot in good conscience vote for someone who signed that legislation. I just won't be voting for President at all this time around. Not that it makes any difference, Kansas was always going to go Republican anyway.
  2. Me too. And I'll say you should be happy with the results. I'm tempted to call you a liar and say you just applied a photoshop filter to screenshots.
  3. Yeah, the series isn't over, just this arc.
  4. I just turn up the sensitivity. I should say though, my main issue with the DS3's sticks is not the tension, it's the deadzone, I could learn to live with lower tension. As for the concave/convex thing (which is an aspect I had completely forgotten about), I've never played a game where convex was superior. For games where your thumbs aren't constantly on the sticks then either one works equally well, and like you say for games where your thumbs are always on the sticks concave is better.
  5. Maybe you don't know he's a Templar, and it's a big twist for people who haven't done all the subject 16 stuff?
  6. D-pad is definitely better on the DS3, no denying that.
  7. RDR is the most awesome game ever. Anything that makes a game more like RDR is good in my book.
  8. How is the DS3 any better for racers and RPG's than the 360 controller?
  9. It hurts my hands to hold that thing sideways for more than about half an hour at a stretch. I enjoy the game, but I just cannot play it with that thing. I shouldn't call the controller shitty, it works great for some things. I really liked Skyward Sword, and I liked Twilight Princess better on the Wii than the Gamecube (because the pointer made aiming so much easier). What's shitty is how they feel the need to shoehorn in motion to every goddamn title, regardless of whether or not it adds anything. Motion control added nothing to NSMBWii, there is no reason that they couldn't have made that game compatible with the Classic Controller or Gamecube controller.
  10. I think it's fine for TPS. Anyways, I don't feel like using a 360 controller magically makes someone more precise. Also, what other genres are you thinking of? I like the sticks on PS3 because they work well with more genres, whereas the 360 sticks are much more focused on FPS's. You're right, it doesn't automatically make people more precise, but the higher tension and smaller deadzone make it easier to be precise. As far as other genres, I guess what I was thinking of you could broadly call "platformers"; any game that requires either precise movement or precise camera control. Which yeah, largely tend to be platformers and shooters (both TPS and FPS). It's just personal preference though. I'm serious when I say that I don't understand how people can use the DS3 for that stuff, but obviously they can so whatever.
  11. The only other game on the Wii that I am even remotely interested in is Monster Hunter Tri. Part of it is that there are some games I would have liked except for their shitty controller (NSMBWii, for example).
  12. It's still entirely possible that you aren't really on either side, and they're just playing up the American Revolution angle in the advertising. But I agree, it would be a lot more interesting to have you not really be on either side.
  13. /debates trip to Wichita this afternoon... *Edit* - Nah, I won't get it. It's just such a PITA for me cause the nearest Best Buy is 50 miles away. As is the nearest Gamestop.
  14. The Steelbook promo doesn't apply to the PC version of AC3? Screw you too, Ubisoft.

      Yeah, that's how I found out it didn't apply to PC preorders.

      I actually preordered the PS3 version on Amazon, with the thought that I can always cancel it later. This way I have it for if they announce PC version for 18 months later.

       

      Though for some reason Amazon isn't letting you select release date delivery.

      they usually don't offer that until a month or two before actual release. If you're prime they auto upgrade you.

  15. lol, "because it's Nintendo" is the reason I'm not buying it at launch. I'll get one eventually, but for the same two reasons I got a Wii: Mario and Zelda.
  16. Well they're already confirmed to be working on their Steam Big Screen or whatever it is they call it.
  17. As excited as I am for that game, I'll be waiting to preorder it until PC release date is confirmed. That is pretty nice box art though.
  18. Some shooters exist only on console. Halo, Killzone, Uncharted, etc. I play any shooter I can on PC though. But the problem extends beyond shooters to any game that requires precision use of the sticks.
  19. Yeah, different stick placement doesn't bother me at all. I honestly can't understand how anyone can play shooters with the DS3's sticks. They're so loose and have a ridiculously huge deadzone.
  20. No system of government works (including anarchy, though I know it's not really a "system of government"). The more control you give the people, the more retarded ideas will get supported, but the more you give control to knowledgeable individuals the more abuses of power there are/can be. I tend to agree that a representative democracy is the best compromise, but it's not without its crippling flaws.
  21. So @AllianceNewsNetwork is doing what I think is a pretty effective "live tweet" of the Reaper invasion of Los Angeles. Though it could have been even cooler if they were attaching pictures (premise is that comm buoys are down, so they're using quantum entanglement transmission, which has limited bandwidth).
  22. I grip a 360 controller with my palms, but a DS3 with my fingers.
  23. Was the MW3 one actual SteelBook brand, or was it a different brand of metal case? AFAIK it's only the actual SteelBook brand that has the problem with the spindles.
  24. He does have a point there. At least he's not comparing it to bestiality like other folks... Yep, he does, and I think polygamy should be legal for consenting adults.
  25. Have they fixed the fucked up spindles in SteelBooks? I hate feeling like I'm going to crack the disc in half every time I get it out.
