I can't wait to play Civ with the Steam Controller once I get around to buying the game. Perfect couch setup.
I always used the keyboard for movement. Can't believe they got rid of the numpad movement in 6.

Tell me what you think. I just can't get comfortable with the Steam Controller.

I'm a Steam Controller evangelist for sure. Dual analog pads just can't match the precision; I'll never go back. Some folks want a more traditional d-pad for it, and I can see that although I don't play games that would benefit from it.
Biggest drawback is the learning/comfort curve. Took me weeks for it too really click with me, so I absolutely understand people being put off by it.
BF1 MP has more awesome moments per second than any scripted campaign I've played. It's kind of incredible. Like the game itself feels like a clusterfuck most of the time but man does it look cool. Running through a bunker underground with a swarm of guys with gas and explosions everywhere to come out to seeing a vista of a zeppelin crashing
I like it. But sometimes I just swtich to M+KB or an XB1 controller and I am a bit happier. And more comfy.
Love it for DS3 though.
Do you play FPS with it? Been trying to play Titanfall 2 with it and having a pretty rotten time.

I play FPS games, yeah. The trick is to use the gyro to help with fine aiming, and setting the sensitivity higher than you think. I set the gyro to activate either when I'm touching the right pad or when I'm pulling left trigger, depending on the game. It's not as precise as a mouse, but is faaaar more accurate than dual analog. I use KBaM for Battlefield 1 because that's how I've always played it.
Single player FPS games I definitely use the SC though. When I get Titanfall I'll probably use SC for the campaign and KBaM for multiplayer.

NES Classic looks hot. Shame I have zero attention span for any NES games that aren't Mario or Mega Man.

I asked in the NES Classic thread, and Canada hasn't had preorders even go up yet... so there's a chance!
Before that QL, I didn't know that people played like that. Kind of blows my mind.
It's more work, Alex. Why would you do this?!

Man I really don't get the appeal of NES Classic. The NES was my first system and I loved it, but almost all of these games have been released on a ton of different platforms with better controllers. How can you even play with the cords that short?

Zelda 1 is SO much harder than Zelda 2. I don't get why people struggle so much with that game.
It's a toy/accessory/gift for people put on their nerd display shelf - short cords make that easier. Something to compete with Hot Topic and Urban Outfitters junk.

because it's awfully obtuse
it's not harder or anything (way better controls for one), it's just a nightmare to play in 2016 fresh without a FAQ

The only obtuse thing is the last palace with all of the bizarre fake walls. That's the only part of the game that I had to look up. Everything else was pretty easy, especially for an NES game.

Well, while they were comparing their mps (m's per minute), I'm a plain old clicker scrub.

That's the only cave for which you can't have a candle. You just have to look carefully.

Absolutely agreed. Battlefield moments may be a dumb marketing campaign but its totally true haha. Have more cool things happen more frequently in that multiplayer than in any other shooter i can think of

Danny's doc is doing pretty good numbers on YouTube, especially for a channel starting up from nothing but his reputation. The fact everything is paid for before 1 view and he doesn't rely on a big audience is even better. Great stuff.

Those are SUPER boring 90% of the time.
Nope. Factually incorrect.
No they aren't.

Random Colecovision and Amiga games just aren't interesting to me in the slightest.

Jeff + retro games is a winning combination.
Remember that time he played that ear-splitting Superman game? Yeah, even that was good stuff.

It's the very best. No lie, Bubble Bobble was the only game that they played that made me halfway tempted to pick up a NES Mini. Even that isn't enough, though.
God you are an awful human being. Especially with the pre-PS1 clarifier considering those games hold up the worst.
