I'm glad the 360 controller isn't on there. It's instantly my favorite.

Too bad the PS3-Boomerang isn't on there!

My least favorite controller is the Intellivision one. And the one that I knew they'd list is the Xbox controller.

I remember an old Penny Arcade comic where they replaced a guy's Xbox controller with a live grizzley. When he picked it up, he said, "did this get lighter?"

The situation of the controller in relation to that man's body doesn't help much for the appeal, either.

Comical, although can they really criticize old technology like that? Somewhat effectively (the Death Star control panel...), but you have to give it up to Atari who innovated many of the things we have today in the gaming industry.

I think that's what they wre implying. That's why I was laughing, anyway.

The positioning of the white spider doesn't help much either does it

No, they are eyes, but they look like white droplets of liquid.

Not those, the one at the "tip" of the controller.

The fat XBox controller = <3

d&q · « **Reply #13 on:** February 24, 2006, 10:16:40 pm »

I love that one too. When my old one broke, and I went to the store to get one, I asked specifically for the fat one, and they just stared at me

It wasn't cause of your unusual controller choice -- it was cause you're black.

Amazing the PS3 controller wasn't included indeed..perhaps it's because it isn't released yet who knows. :/
I think the dreamcast controller should be on there..first off it had a gaping HOLE in the damn controller and it's what the XBox controller copied off..haha. Seriously that thing got unconfortable after an hour or so of sonic.

The boomerang got scrapped, and they are going to [probably] redesign it. http://www.ps3.net/newsboard/view.php?id=162

Yeah!

It's actually not bad for certain types of games, though. You get used to the layout. But then the buttons stick or are hard to press, but such is the technology of the day.

But there are some pretty friggin' awesome games for it. Mmm, Pinball, Bump&Jump, AD&D, D&D, etc.
