Awesome. I hearing/reading nothing but good news about the controller from all the journalists who are there, too.

Does the new controller spy on you?

I talked to the head of programming, and he said only if you are suffering from trollism - which it detects by going into the "E Space" quantum leap exploration through a double TARDIS Doppler core - it will give you a mild electric shock at first – that can escalate using the anti-matter feed back of the crosses streams parallelism.  It will eventually, through the Perovskite feed back loupe form a whine intense tachyon.  It is fed by more one hates and it can expand so that the full asymmetrical ferric core, and the person holding the controller, is eventually sucked out of this reality, if the negativity is powerful enough, and left stranded in the phantom zone.

But, even trolls can set the privacy settings to the level they want - the setting are really flexible.  So anyone could set he levels of security that allow them peaceful sleep.

I guess the lesson here is: So the lesson is don’t be a troll!  I think we all learned something today.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Hi Zappy, many many thanks for your information regarding the controller! Looks perfect and seems to even improve the 360-controller, nice! Have fun further on and enjoy!

I made sure to try the car one twice for you!  But I didn't get to race as they didn't have a playable Forza 5. 

But did get the 'vroom vroom' feedback in the triggers.

Awesome. I planned on getting Forza 5 day 1! I usually don't go with rumble when playing, this seems similar yet completly different. Forza 5 better utilize the feature well!

 

How do the controller's shoulder buttons feel? I've heard they're harder to press.

Also how were the a,b,x,y buttons? aren't they a little closer together now?



I wish they had adjustable thumbstick tension like the onza. I prefer a tighter stick with higher sensetivity for FPS but a looser stick for driving games.

Don't go with Rumble?  This I just don't understand.  It's like my friends with 3D Tv's that never watch things in 3D.  (I have some games that I am waiting to have a 3D TV to play.)  Or being in a comitted relationship with a hotie and never having sex.  Or peole that hate warm brownies with vanillia ice cream; I just don't get it/can't relate.  I am not picking on you, just curious as to why.

I know some people find it distracting or don't like the feeling.  Why don't you like rumble?  I feel it is safe to assume you can turn it off.  It it distracting? Uncomfortable? Just curious.

"Also how were the a,b,x,y buttons? aren't they a little closer together now?"

They felt very comfortable.  I didn’t really notice a difference.  My thumb knew exactly where to go, but I did have like 40 people waiting in line behind me.

Oh, and I forgot to feel for the bumpers.  Now I want to go back and try them some more…

This controller does sound really good, but what I want to know is can I use it on my PC?

Oh yes, good point! What are the connectors? Is there a micro-usb-connector?
