I can't play Doom 64 for shit on it and Doom's got the most basic of controls.

It seemed decent for different controlled games like Turok or goldeneye though.

Lousiest analog stick ever though.

goldeneye separated the men from the boys real fast with their ridiculous strafe controls on the yellow (c?) buttons

I always liked how Treasure's core idea for the original Sin and Punishment was wanting to design a game that actually used the other half of the controller

It was telling that each game had like 532 control schemes, not because the controller was so customizable but because they prayed you find one that was comfortable with you.

and it was a good thing, still though those controls. I think I had Honey Ryder on it.

First time getting it I didn't know how the fuck to hold the thing and I would hold it like a super nes controller and then stretch my bottom left hand to stretch my thumb out to reach out and touch the joystick.

What a cluster

if i didn't own a n64, i don't think i would've been able to play fighting games on pad or aim as good as I do in FPS games. that controller was the gaming crucible

The physical form of blasphemy
Start a new game on Medium difficulty. Call it .Wampa..Stompa (Case sensitive). Start in a level and as soon as it starts press pause. Now press and hold all at once C up, C right, C down, C left, L, R, Z and Left on the d-pad. While holding these down gently move the control stick left halfway, and hold all this until you hear a sound. Do the same thing with the joystick facing right, then left, right and finally left. Make sure you keep the other buttons held down during this time.

He's the face of pop science. He's closely associated with space and physics, topics which attract the kind of demographic that generally like games too.

Plus he's a nice guy with a distinctive voice.

I am all for the avant garde, but you just have to call foul on some stuff. There is nothing appealing about that outfit. It seriously looks like something that would happen when I tell my two year old to dress himself.

If I saw guy on the street, I would probably just do a double-take... but I think posting that in a "fashion" thread presumes you're trying to make a qualitative statement about your style.

So, I've been thinking. Perhaps it is my age group (I'm 22), but I find many african-american men are still are trying to have that "OG" persona and fit into the common stereotype. I am not black, nor am I even male, so I won't act like I know what's it's like to be either in american society, but do any of you find that it is/was hard to move out of that stereotype (if you fit it at all)? Do black men tend to move beyond that persona as they mature, or is it static?

I simply ask because I find myself attracted to black men, however I am not attracted to the "gangsta" style of the masses in my age group... maybe this is a regional thing but I think not. I have lived in the Midwest all my life, always around big cities (Milwaukee, Chicago, Minneapolis, etc.) though the black population has never been particularly large in the suburbs. Perhaps I am just being exposed to such a small percentage that it seems like the majority are "Gs" but in reality, perhaps the majority really doesn't follow this trend?

I guess the stereotype I'm talking about exudes an immature and uneducated vibe. This may not be true and of course, who am I to judge anyone by how they dress or act, but it's what turns me away. In fact, I know it is not true a lot of the time. I went to high school in a wealthy area with black classmates that adopted the "G" look and persona. They were well educated, came from good backgrounds...I guess it's just how they liked to identify. Why would you willingly choose to fit yourself into a stereotype that is often looked down upon?

What do you all think? Hope I'm not offending anyone with this post, that's not my intention what so ever.

Again, everyone likes different things. My friend who dresses in that style is one of the most humble guys I know, and he legit likes to wear this style. Don't see whats so ridiculous about it.

And trust me, that is not avant garde in any way, that style is decades old and has been rising in popularity for the past decade.
