Have you seen the German version? Even better than the English one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLkdkZZKVOQ
Oh wow that's truly amazing!
It's the German voice of Bruce Willis, isn't it?

Uhhhhh, can somebody help me? I just purchased the Humble Bundle and wanted to give away the Steam keys of the games I'm not interested in. But how do I do that? I tried to gift one Steam key of a game but all I get is a gift link to the Humble Store. How to I get the actual Steam key?

Help? I'm kinda new to giving away stuff :(

there's really no question once you try that controller

I did, and im itching for one ever since

I specially like how the batteries are on the inside so you don't end up with that shitty as bump

look at all that room for finger twiddling

but yeah it's mostly the d-pad
There any reason to have the battery pack inserted if you are using it wired?

I've not tried one, but it doesn't look comfortable to me. And knowing my opinion on the x360 controller, I can't see myself being interested in it ever..

And the d-pad? You're trying to tell me that the MS controller went from worst d-pad to best d-pad?

Don't like it. I didn't care for the lack of bump on the Dualshock either.

The battery hump gives the back of my fingers leverage.

I thought that too at one point, but after trying it it does feel better


but yeah man above all goodbye rocker d-pad and hello clicky one. all over that

nah, not the best by a longshot, but definetly better
 
You're not nice.

I just used the wired 360 pad since I'm never playing far away from my PC anyway. No bump, no charging, cheaper, it just makes sense.

No, I think it doesn't even work wired with batteries.

Yep it is. He was also the voice doing well known ads for the Praktiker shops which the 20% refer to.

Just send the gift links to ModBot instead of the key.

I'm partial to the ps4 controller because I have one.

Fucking controllers cost $60.

Yeah, I could use a better one than the dualshock 3 I've got now but it's not like I hate it

and I have 3 of them.... don't want to buy a new one because they are still fine.
 

Salsa

it's also a lot lighter

and a bit noticeably smaller

face buttons feel flatter too, more in line with the controller, they don't pop out as much

been a while since I held one tho, im sure someone here has an xbone

Clicky eh. I might get one anyways, although I have my reservations, mostly because I seem to collect controllers and controller mods/accessories like other women collect shoes and jewelry.

The latest one I got was the Wii Classic Pro. The dpad is great, but I have to say, the thing feels like a stripped down toy when you compare it to the hefty and solid-feeling 360, and the lack of clicky sticks and rumble don't help.

it's jarring as shit when you first hold one but after playing for a while my overall sense is that it felt tighter

the grip is better and it immediatly made me feel like the 360 controller was huge and heavy. when I went back to it I felt like I was holding a fucking dreamcast controller

Cheers, didn't know that's possible. Will do that in a second!

Speaking of tighter, didn't the X1 controller get a firmware update to optimize the reactions of the analog sticks? I wonder if need to find a X1 or if the driver takes care of that.

I guess next time I see an xb1 demo unit I will try the controller out. Surprisingly I have not tried that controller out at all.

Yeah but have there been any PC racing games out yet that support the rumble on the triggers yet?

I guess W_D might have some support, if they bothered?

well no cause there was no xbone controller on PC?

assumption is they will start implementing it when it becomes the norm

Wow it works with PC? I thought it can't? Does it need any program or emulator? Does it vibrate?

True. But anything is just about better than the x360 d-ad. :p

Yeah, I could use a better one than the dualshock 3 I've got now but it's not like I hate it

and I have 3 of them.... don't want to buy a new one because they are still fine.

I have a DS4, but I still use my DS3 with real triggers most of the time.
And now that they work with every game on PC via x-input, I never use my x360 controller anymore.

What are paddles?

Something like flappy paddle shifters, behind the handles?

Things you use to make your canoe move through water.
 
People, my Half Life 2 just updated.. the hell?? Half Life 3 ARG ??? The E3 is near, this cant be a coincidence,

If I were GabeN, I would update some file in HL2 and check social media and forums for Half Life 3. Do some nice charts about the correlation, and publish the data.
 
Hope there's still someone out there that doesn't have these.

I should have read on past the OP in that thread -.-

I'm not sure if this gift link for The Guild II Collection is still working since I've redeemed the Steam key to a different email address of mine already (not registered on the Humble Store) but the link I got in my email inbox should work for anyone I guess.
Because I'm not sure about that I'm not giving it away with the other games via ModBot.

So, quote to unveil a Humble Store gift link to The Guild II Collection: (ATTENTION: might not work!)
 
so what was the mystery game?

In the interest of full disclosure, here's my PM to modbot. Again, I think it was Frozen Synapse, but not sure why it came out like that.

What are those buttons even used for? I feel like in a tense moment you could press one by mistake.

Whatever you bind them to. Jump, crouch, enabling "ghosting" etc. Also, I don't recall reading any impression which said they were problematic in that regard. People only criticized the light, plastic-y build of the prototype and how it felt like it could break when pressing the paddles too strongly.
