Controllers

I would hate to be this family right now

A 13 year-old girl from Monroe County, Mississippi has been shot in the head by her 9 year-old brother during an argument over an unspecified video game controller.

The Associated Press reports that the incident took place on Saturday, when the girl “wouldn’t give up the video game controller when her brother wanted it.”

That kid is going to have to spend the rest of his life knowing what he did, and his parents share the same guilt moreso for easy access to the fucking thing. Meanwhile, if you read the thread you’ll see people who are triggered over seeing a PS4 controller at a start of the article, because clearly choosing what controller to display is far more important than the story itself. The sad part about all of this is people taking this story and spinning it to blame games for causing violence, not the easy access to guns… But hey, on the bright side children are more replaceable than the weapons themselves.

We are really fucked up as a country. :zorak:

Final Conclusion: Steam Controller is all kinds of awesome

I posted my Steam Controller review the other day via Steam (What a shocker). In case anyone didn’t see it I’ve decided to put a link to it here. Surprisingly I was 99% serious in my review. But considering a broken clock is right twice a day I guess it was bound to happen. Here’s the the review.

The Controllerpocalypse

On the subject of Controllers lately, I’ve rounded up this collection:

Controllers

Surprisingly they all work. Even the mutant one with the too many buttons. The two Saiteks in the picture were not very memorable; then again in the 90’s and early 00’s controllers on PC were going through that awkward phase still.

The Playstation controllers still work, one of these days if I ever felt like playing an emulator I might get the proper adapters. Or just setup the old PS1. I always liked the way the Playstation Controllers felt, which was why I would really enjoy the Logitechs later on which are basically a lovechild of Playstation’s Dualshock with the XBox’s buttons. Then we have the Steam Controller; which has been pretty cool so far.

SNES controller is making a comeback

This could be neat neat for people who run Nintendo emulators, or just pure nostalgia. 😀 I might consider getting one in the future to play some old Mario games in my favorite emulator.

With its classic gray body and purple buttons, the SNES30 looks like a replica of the Super Nintendo controller of your youth. But this one supports both Bluetooth and USB, making it easy to adapt it to use while playing your favorite modern games-the best of both worlds. You can use it for up to 20 hours before recharging, and the battery will recharge 1,000+ times.
