Well I thought I was really good at it, then Devo whooped my ass so bad I still can't walk right.

Agreed one reason I always like BF and Black Ops on the 360. I don't like auto or sticky aim at all. It kills me that it's forced in reach.
Tell me more...
Hahah I remember when I went out at Yemen, my cousins wouldn't let me speak English, cause they said people would charge us more if they found out I was a foreigner. So there was this one time when we went to get our hair done, and the lady asked me how I wanted it and I just stared at her and didn't respond. When my cousin came up to me to help, the hair dresser asked her if I was deaf LOL
My dad had a running joke going where he told my mother (who is Irish) that it was Greek tradition to kiss the toaster of each new house you entered as a guest. She kissed five toasters before catching on.

I understand what someone's saying to me in bengali but I have a difficult time responding.

Medic and Demo player, here. If anything, I'd take you down with the sticky launcher or my bonesaw. No innuendo intended, but it's funny how easy it is to sound dirty.
Needle gun.
Anyway, I had to uninstall TF2
I really need a new HDD. I'd have more room if I uninstalled L4D2 as well, but there's no way in hell. L4D2 <3<3<3This happens to me sometimes as well. I hear something in a different language, and I can piece together the meaning with context words, but when I try to say something in response it slips away. Like sand between my fingers.
Kemon aso?
My Bengali's relatively basic, but a lot better than most who were born here or came here at an early age.
I just finished AC:R, and currently playing Deus Ex using my DS3 controller.
I don't play online on PC because I obviously don't enjoy getting my arse handed to me by people using m/kb. :\ Besides most of my real life friends are on PSN.
This is how it felt:
You're living the dream my friend.
Its really hard for me because I forget how to turn a word into masculine or feminine, or make it past tense of future tense. I just give up and respond in English and hope they understand haha

See, if one of my relatives asked me this, I'd just go "Oh, I'm doing fine."
I'm actually not sure how to romanize bangla because I've never needed to.

Damn you must have our heads on your wall like trophies, at least that way you don't have to use the Devo peepatron 3000. Probably surrounding the Monica altar.

Fun note about bangla: we use the same word for tomorrow and yesterday and the distinction is almost entirely context.
This confused the fuck out of me as a kid.

Now I'm imagining that your Avatar is actually just a picture of Devo's trophy.
If it were it would have a goatee/soul patch. Though the thought of that as a shop sounds hilarious.
I don't know how to romanize either, I had to google the "proper" spelling. Some of my friends do it a lot on IMs and texts. So confusing and puts me in the same situation you have when communicating verbally.
The tomorrow/yesterday thing never confused me though. We always spoke Bangla at home and I actually had to take additional English classes since Bangla was my primary language till I was 5. I still have some of that accent come through when I talk.

I love stuff like this! I haven't been studying German for too long, but it also has a situation where morning and tomorrow is the same word. I have to wonder how that came about historically.

I made a run at learning arabic when I was a kid.
I can still recite surahs, and remember a bit of the alphabet, but I definitely can't speak conversationally.
I can still recite surahs, and remember a bit of the alphabet, but I definitely can't speak conversationally.
I play with whatever is technically optimal for the genre. Sometimes that's KB/M (It is for many of the games I personally play, like Chess, Strategy games more generally, RTS, and FPS) sometimes it's Game pads (I feel they're best for platformers, but not for TPS as some have claimed here), sometimes it's the Wii Mote (this may actually be the best for TPS, but I haven't played enough Wii to know for sure), sometimes it's an arcade stick, a la Shmups.
But I am a very skill oriented gamer and I'm typically not playing to relax. I understand others just want to play with what they're comfortable with and accustomed to whether it's actually the best controller or not.

AssCreed:R, why are you so addicting? I've stayed up until 4 AM the past few nights because of you.
hello studNear the end of it I was getting burnt out, and but the ending got me so excited for more ass creed.
You'd think the wiimote would be the ultimate control option for TPS games, but it's been woefully underutilized.

I can't do any den defenses because the first thing I did (which is the first thing I always do) is go after viewpoints/bases.
Yeah, when I was a young teen I actually learned to read arabic (already knew a bit how to speak) with a bunch of arab-american friends (or as they refer to themselves 'lebanese-american').
I was eventually able to read a full page, but holly shit now I can't even read a word. Totally forgot it all due to lack of use. I think (or hope) all I need is mum memory jogged up a bit and it'll all come back.
Also, on the topic of keyboard and mice vs controllers.. I can use both but prefer controllers, but I honestly feel like I look down on people who love 360 controllers. The asymmetry of it is just ugly and not right for human hands. Can you imagine a face like that? Very unattractive!
Yeah I went to a summer Islamic school a buncha times when I was a kid where I memorized some surahs and was able to write and sorta read Arabic (barely)... Other than that I can't speak at all lol
If the actual buttons were positioned better, then I'd be willing to say it's the best choice for TPS.
The asymmetry of the 360 controller is what makes it work. My only complaint is that the grip is too shallow, and forces me to squash my fingers against the back. With wireless controllers this is made worse with the battery pack.
Dualshocks feel like children's toys. Too light, too small. Not as bad as, say, a DS Lite, which I can't play for more than 10 minutes without my fingers turning numb. But nowhere near as comfortable as a 360 pad.
With m&k, I don't have to worry about my fingers getting cramped! Only carpal tunnel.

Same. I've got a bunch of different pads I can hook up to my PC depending on the game. I wish bluetooth things worked better on my computer though so I could use my Wiimote more often in Dolphin.
I think it'd be awesome if next gen you could use kb/m in consoles. I remember playing Red Faction 2 (I think it was 2) with my KB/M. Would be great for me because my consoles/tv is right next to my PC set up and would make first and third person shooters so much more enjoyable for me.

I don't even like using kb/m if I can help it. The only reason I don't use a controller for TF2 is because I couldn't get it to work properly.
Regardless, my main point was that different values will produce different preferences. My primary reason for gaming is to challenge myself and/or to compete, and thus for me it's extremely important that I have the best possible controller at all times. For someone who just wants to relax and escape, then the controller choice might be close to irrelevant; they'll prefer whatever they're comfortable with, even if it's not technically optimal.
And both of those preferences are okay.

I trained all the master assassins first because those den defenses were annoying.

I hear this story alot from my cousins and other family members.
My parents made me learn how to read and write in Arabic so that I could finish reading the Quran asap, but they never bothered to actually teach me how to speak the language. Would probably come in real handy as a resume booster.

Please tell me you've played the Wii Trauma Center games.
Yeah the place itself was really bad and I never wanted to go. It was so hard for me because none of the teachers could speak English that well, and since most of the kids there could speak Arabic they did really well. Me on the other hand was always at the lower level and they pretty much shun you for it if you are of older age. Eventually I hated it to the point where I would cut classes and beg my parents not to send me there :/

I use mouse and keyboard for Skyrim despite the UI clearly being designed for controllers because first-person games are easier for me to play with a mouse.

You can go back to chapter 2 in the memories if you're looking for the achievement.

...Looks like I'll be going back to chapter 2.
Yep, growing up on consoles a keyboard and mouse feels so foreign.
I'm definitely more of the "I just want a good experience" type of gamer, so I'm not too picky about things of that nature; I'll choose what's easiest for me.
