I wouldn't use it for anything competative... I was more thinking about SNES type emulation and the like on the go.

Is it Bluetooth?
Edit: Oh, apparently the PS3 controller works with my Mac via Bluetooth.
Emulate your snes games on your laptop because your 3DS,Vita, or smart phone can't do that for you.
The only scenario I can see this mouse as useful is when you want to conceal a controller and switch on the fly when you want to play Mirror's Edge or KoA. I do want it but I can't find a reason to justify the purchase.

And the wiimote and 360 controller with proper tinkering.
That's clever as hell and I want it. Know how much? And the above question is a good one too.
So, I went crazy and made a huge post in the thread about Trump's sons killing all those animals in Africa. If you're at all interested in the topic or have conflicted feelings about sport hunting I asked that you take some time to read it.
My essay on why that thread title is accurate
Here's a pull quote:
Actually, just read the Engadget review and it wasn't favorable. I guess its a novel idea, but poor execution.
And Jason, I can agree with what you're saying. I just thought it was a cool peripheral to have laying around. I have things emulated far and wide on my Wii, an old Xbox, my PSP, etc etc etc... it'd just be one more avenue to take it.
BTW... price tag is 55 AMERICAN DOLLARS.

Yeah, I have a USB driver for the 360 controller on my Mac Pro, but a little BT controller would be excellent with the laptop.
I'll paypal you the money
Aww. I really appreciate that.
Gonna get paid next week hopefully so I'll just be behind everyone else.GameplayWhore

It seems pretty sweet, and I'd pay that price, but the mouse itself look uncomfortable, especially for somebody who uses both hands* with his mice like me.
I kind of like this dude, too, though it's a bit more limited in what it can play on account of being SNES-style in input count.
*no, not at the same time
Yeah, and you'll be sending that rain and crap my direction just in time for this weekend when I'll be in Vegas. Thanks a lot, Smiley.

I get around this potential issue by working in a basement and not going upstairs for lunch.

not too bad, really. though I'm more of a Subie guy.
I would have loved to have gone Subaru, but I was looking for a commuter car that was still fun to drive, got great gas mileage and was cheap. I walked out with that car, which even though its base, I really like it, for a tad over 14k.
Well, I've already played through it three times! Twice with companions and once alone. Planning on playing it a fourth time tonight. A lot of the replay value in it for me is meeting new people and experiencing the journey with them. Every time I've played the game it felt different.
It's too bad we can't Journey together.

Hey now, don't stop believing.
There is always hope we might see each other one day!
Depends. I've rarely seen people who say they don't plan on playing it through at least a second time, if not playing it through multiple times. I never say this about games, usually, but I am glad that they designed it to be a short experience. Because of the random nature of your companions it is unlikely that many would want to stick together for longer than a two hour session. But playing the game through with one person is (so I've heard) and amazing experience.
Also, I'd still think it was worth $15 for those wonderful two hours. I can't say that about many movies that I've watched.
Yes. There is nothing to indicate who they are until the end (when they show you their screen names.) You are only matched with one person at a time so if they leave or get lost you might get paired with another person, but not until then.

You know nothing about your partner and there isnt even voice chat. you basically interact with a randomly selected internetgoer who you can only communicate with through beeps and movement.

Just when I was making progress my circuit decides to stop working for no reason D:
It looks like it's shorting out but I'm pretty sure it isn't. Whaat.

I will certainly be on the lookout for said shirt.
I rofl'd.
Come on. It was so obvious what you said. I have been giggling about it for a while.
This place is so adorable. <3
And I refuse to believe my mind would be in a gutter. That would be way too clean for me anyways. If we start to talk about sewers where all the gutters end, we are getting near.
My friend btw made me the cutest rubber duck earing of all time. ^________^
ok, so we need a coordinated effort... we'll exchange phone numbers, keep loading and reloading the game until we can do the "Ok, do you see me moving back and forth?" confirmation... then we'll go with it.
But... in all honesty, I'm up for surreal games that pack an emotional punch. Thats what makes Shadows of the Colossus one of my all time favorite games, but I'm having a hard time making this title one of those rush out and buy it things.
Now... I know they're completely different games, but bear with me here...
Limbo. I loved it. Others hated it. I thought it had an atmosphere and appeal that was unmatched by anything out there. Sure, it was short, but it was a fantastic ride that told a grim story that left the ending conclusion up to you. Brilliance in a tiny package.
How does Journey compare with Limbo as far as the emotional impact the game has on you?

I actually don't remember much about the end of Limbo (I liked the game though...)
This game however... it made me feel things in a way I never have in a game. Joy and companionship, depression and abandonment... I've been to the end three times and I always end up crying (but I'm a crier.)

Hey i have that. Haven't played it.
Dave SotC is one of my favorite games too.
I want to make a game that combines it with Megaman. So you can do the colossi in any order, and they are all defeatable from the start, but each time you beat one you get a power or weapon, and some are helpful for defeating the others.
THIS GAME WOULD BE AMAZING

I am laughing because I read this out of context. Yes, I am mentally 12.

I didn't cry when Bambi died or that dog from the movie with Owen Wilson, so I might not be the right person to ask about emotional impact.
However!... This game was the first game in a long time which actually made me go 'WOW' again. It has the best 'desolate' atmosphere since ICO.. and there was a scene where you 'slide' through the desert while the sun is setting and reflects on the sand where I was thinking: Best shit I've seen in a game. Not 1080i 270 frames per second triple core processor best graphics, but artistically best graphics.
I simply can't wait to play this tiny but extremely beautiful game again.

So a good deal of money has already been dropped on my wife and my 10 year anniversary trip to Vegas. We've been planning a good trip to see a few shows, eat at a few nice places and most importantly, enjoy a few romantic nights where we dont have kids.
She woke up this morning with a giant flaming cold sore. So yeah... I'm sure the shows will be fun.

MGS3 has the best emotional impact of any game. :V

I'll take your word for it since I haven't played it. >_>
Emotional impact in games?
Choice moments of Rez do it for me. Child of Eden, too, which just has some incredible moments. When the visuals and the music come together in those games and I'm grooving and interacting, I feel elated and happy.
Silent Hill 2, for different reasons. Aside from the trip you go through in that game, the moments leading up to the ending and the revelation were just so shocking. I still clearly remember getting to the end of that game, sitting there frozen, ":O"
