[I'm nobody]

Dude is not aging well

That's what's worrying looks like

I regularly swap between PS XBox and Nintendo controllers. This is always a struggle.

Indeed. In my console times i mainly played on Xbox and then when i started Until Dawn, i nearly fucked up all quick time events.

 

[solidus12]

Is this the real account of the game director?

 

[adamsapple]

Sega was right. Sony and Nintendo must have been on drugs when they created the face button nomenclature.

I know it was the first one to have one, but I have never gotten over the bizarre centered analog stick placement on the N64 controller.

 

[Fess]

I would rather be gray than bald tbh.

Fortunately I'm not taking after my pops who had 80% empty head by the time he turned 32.

Don’t jinx it and say it out loud!
It can change fast…
I go with hair down half my back until it goes away, big beard too, with too much gray, like Mel Gibson gray. The plan is to become Kratos and keep the beard and shave off my hair completely once the hairline gets awkwardly high. It’s getting close……

they made that controller specifically for mario 64. Then realised oh shit we have other games to make to.

 

[mansoor1980]

he has carried that burden on his chest for so long..................................

 

[Venom Snake]

Maybe he should test it on Series S first.

You aged like a fine wine? Phil got off the gear and his hair fell out unfortunately

 

[MayauMiao]

Next gen Xbox.

 

[Trilobit]

The older I get the more I think I’d prefer bald. So long as it’s full bald and not that loose strand comb-over type of bald.

Less maintenance.

If I'm in the "great head-shape" category I might go full-bald before allowing bald spots to grow. But if I'm one of those weird alien looking ones I'll probably take a trip to Turkey and get hair transplants. I haven't been brave enough to cut my hair completely yet so I'm in blissful ignorance.

Phil and Sarah seem to be enjoying their time at TGS

adamsapple I thought you told us Mrs Bond was fluent in Japanese?

They copyright striked the videos and got them removed?

that was awkward , sarah bond stealing phil spencers screen time

 

[bundylove]

High stress will do that.

P diddy turned off the young blood tap to phil

 

[Esca]

First it's a cross, second Sony had already had it set like that a generation before Xbox came around

I used to think this too but balding is a ton of work… I hate it. Some needs to create stem cells for hair regrowth. I’d buy it in a second

Cringey.

Lot of bitch eating crackers energy up in hurrr

I know it was the first one to have one, but I have never gotten over the bizarre centered analog stick placement on the N64 controller.

As Goldeneye was my introduction to console FPS’ and I played hundreds of hours of it and Perfect Dark, the transition to dual analog and simultaneous movement/right stick aiming was long and painful. I didn’t enjoy Timesplitters at PS2 launch at all. Fortunately SSX didn’t require any mental reprogramming but it wasn’t until Halo CE that dual analog FPS’ became natural to me.

 

[LectureMaster]

I understand high stress, likely why I was totally grey like a silver fox in my early 50s

Wait what, you are in 50s? Man you post like an energetic teenager, haha. Of course in a good way.

I am 57 and thanks, I think

Its an X button. Crosses are more like a t. If Sony wanted it to be cross they should have rotated it 45 degrees rather than bullshitting everyone. If its cross then square is diamond.

Yep and the nerds calling it a cross or worse than Phil saying it's in the wrong place lol

 

[adamsapple]

adamsapple I thought you told us Mrs Bond was fluent in Japanese?

She's just reigning it back for Phil. As many qualities as Phil has, speaking Japanese is not one of them.

 

[DJ12]

I dont think he has this much of stress.

I dont even know, why he still is in his position at Microsoft.

He's finally made Xbox consoles that unpalatable that Satya can sell games on PlayStation without losing anything drastic in the process.

The man's done the job he was paid for.

Is it the bad lighting? Otherwise holy shit stress must be ageing him that quickly.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

First off, that's a cross. PlayStation clearly has an X.

Second off, proper X is of course:

Until Phil shows off a new console, I'll consider Xbox to be a legacy platform, and its button placements mean no more to me than.. I don't know... the WonderSwan's button placements.

 

[AyraSutoraifu]

Xbox twitter account kissing ass...

Pathetic.

 

[BlackTron]

Next he'll be telling us that the sticks are misaligned.

(they're not)

Boo.

If PS was reverse analog I'd go out and buy a PS5 today (or okay order a pro lol).

Sucks for me because Sony's controller is ahead of Xbox in every way other way possible.

The trouble is because PS controllers are packed with features I can't just use a third party pad instead. It drove me insane playing TLOU on PS3 and switching controllers just to use a flashlight. And that was two gens ago. I'm screwed.

 

[Bojanglez]

I take his silence on the analogue stick placement is a resounding endorsement that they are correctly placed

 

[Mr Reasonable]

I wonder how some people navigate daily life when something that's so clearly a harmless joke gets people so triggered.

 

[FewRope]

Next gen Xbox.

They took down the video? Oh my fucking god

 

[Bloobs]

I know it was the first one to have one, but I have never gotten over the bizarre centered analog stick placement on the N64 controller.

I never used the dpad lol. Z trigger still the goat for shooters.

 

[angelgs90]

 

[Mr Reasonable]

To be fair, that's the worst of all the layouts. Thankfully Switch allows you to reprogram the labels.

 

[Kumomeme]

suck it phil!

 

[RoadHazard]

No, they are both crosses. This is a weakness of the English language, in that there aren't separate words to distinguish these shapes. In Swedish we have "kors" for ✚ and "kryss" for ✖.

Cross - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

It often appeared in conjunction with the female-genital circle or oval, to signify the sacred marriage, as in Egyptian amulet Nefer[4] with male cross and female orb, considered as an amulet of blessedness, a charm of sexual harmony.[5]

[Peroroncino]

dude is clearly making a joke, not sure why people take it to the extreme lol

also, I think everybody knows it's a cross, but fuck that, I'm still calling it X since it more comfortable.

If that were the case then why did Nintendo copy the Xbox analogue stick placement for their Switch Pro controller?

[soulbait]

I understand the feeling LOL. I didn't get a PlayStation until late into the PS3 life cycle. Grew up on Nintendo and then transitioned into primarily a Xbox player. Going between Xbox and PlayStation I have to retrain my brain where the X button is LOL.

If he says or does anything gaf will immediately turn it into a 50 page bash session. Gaf is infatuated with Phil.
