Abbott trying to get one of his daughters hitched to the hairy prince.

Played with it yesterday and today. The Xbone controller is much worse than the Xbox 360 controller
Its all smaller
Everything feels more clock together
The Bumpers and triggers have absolutely TERRIBLE unergonomic positioning.
Feels like it was made for kids(which doesn't surprise me)
Also Dpad is the worst. I have no idea how they went backwards in that department.

What the fuck. I mean, all reports have been that the 180 controller is a step back but since I know you are a bit of a professional gamer Cryptik I'm losing hope I'll like it

Well, I've got a few 360 controllers to tide me over for a while. I guess the Steam Controller is our only hope. Save us, Valve.

Well, 12 year old cod and halo players are the biggest consumers of xbox, makes sense.

Tried both today:
PS4 controller is the bomb, longer and fits nicely in your grip
Triggers are just the right amount of response in them
Like how the touchpad is a button too
Dpad is awesome like usual, sticks are very responsive and dont slip - dont feel as loose as PS3
Extra weight is pretty decent, just the right amount now
Xbone - very very loose sticks, felt almost like vita/psp style
there is something off with triggers, feels very odd - not as springy
placement of the sticks is slightly off to what it is on 360, someone said it reminds them of n64
do not like vibration thing thats going on, its really gimicky - sounds good in practice

Apparently the 180 controller would make a good vibrator, according to my Twitter feed today :/
have you tried the wii u pro pad? wouldn't mind hearing how it compares / your thoughts now if you've used all 3

Had a blast playing GTA online tonight. An 8 hour session with 4 other dudes that just finished. Killed lots of people, raced some cars, played some golf and stole some fighter jets. Great fun.

Yeah I noticed that too. Bit annoyed I missed the sell off. They were all gone by the time I got to a Dick Smith store.
Reptile and Omi - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ64-aQUyqs . There's 3 episodes so far.

Don't worry, most of AusGaf are using their Wii U consoles as SNES emulators if my friends list is anything to go by

I sit my 360 controller on the WiiU. It's a nice little stand like that.

Playing Earthbound on the gamepad is pretty sweet!

Definitely going to pick that one up. My secret shame of having beaten Mother 3 but never playing Earthbound.

Stupid me had to order a pal copy of WW HD. Because he couldnt face buying a North American wii. Lucky OGS has no probs with shipping to the US. I also ordered replacement power packs from nintendo direct.
Anyone else have a PS3 superslim? does yours make whirring noises like a robot with every game or just GTAV? without the extra nsulation of a slot loader, it sounds like C3PO running a triathlon.
Also, anyone else getting Beyond this week?

Granted, until Last of Us and GTA came out, I was mostly using my PS3 as a not-very-good PS1 emulator.
And I tend to only turn my Xbox 360 on when I want to scare the cats with the fan noise.

Also good way to get though the winter without hypothermia.

Jeff Green leaving Popcap, gonna maybe do a Kickstarter! Also he livestreams something other than LoL!
Sure does. It seems to make those noises in every game, I guess it's more frequent in GTAV though.
Much noisier than my old fat (RIP). First super slim I bought had a busted laser or something, every time I hear the disc cycle I think this one has died too, hate it.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Godus still deserves its nickname "Carpal Tunnel Generator" ouch. Yet can't stop playing.
Bad pie tonight. Used some new small ceramic pie dishes and the pastry didn't cook through. Probably not supposed to use 'em for this kinda pastry. Gonna ditch 'em and get some metal ones. Filling was tasty tho (yay, Poterhouse is still on special).

That would be a safe assumption going by the Wikipedia page. Also Molyneux.
Also Brookyln Nine Nine is pretty good.

cheers fred. picked it up a few days ago and enjoying it so far.
Also thanks to Danoss too. I finally got around to watching The Genius (just one episode so far). Haven't seen anything quite like it before. It's like the strategical component of shows like Survivor and The Mole but in a much better way and with more interesting results.
Who was the one person you didn't enjoy watching?
Shaneus yeah it's very Populous-like. I haven't played this week's update but I liked what I tried a few weeks ago.
Whee does it say Jeff Green's left Popcap? I know he's a part of that new magazine that's getting Kickstarted...
Tonight I uploaded the 200th Blow The Cartridge comic. If you want more, I could really do with some encouragement right about now.

Didn't you check the thread I linked? He also says it at the start of the livestream I linked.
Also your comics are great! Link them here more! I rarely get on Twitter now
Finished Spec Ops: The Line
- Production all over the shop, ie some pixellated/compressed video cutscenes, some in engine, all switch out the weapon you have currently to the standard. HATE.
- 3rd person shooter gameplay is kinda meh
- Your 'colleagues' are less than useless
- Controls are beyond wonky using KB/M
- The ending is kinda interesting
I think that sums up that game.

Try playing on harder difficulties mate
Controls and TPS mechanics were bad on console too.

I did, on PC and 360. Ran out of time on the 360 version though before I had to take the rental back. Played like any other TPS on 360. The slide to cover came in damn handy though.
