    I recall explaining this video to my mother.

    I don't think my explanation was adequate.

    So you do use wireless controllers?
    Despite the uncomfortable growth on its back? And the fact it takes AAs? Or the fact the official battery pack barely gets you through one sitting without needing recharging five bloody times?
    It is you, sir, who has the incorrect opinions. Have my opinions, they're all right and stuff.

    Srrs though, I really never took to the Xbox's wireless controllers. The only advantage of having one I can see is that they're wireless, not much of an advantage anyway. I mean, it's not like the wire gets in the way, unless you decide to play Reach while jogging around the house.
    I mean, I prefer the Playstation wireless controllers, since they were actually fairly comfortable, and seem to have a better battery life. Didn't really take to them controllers either though, thanks to the L2 and R2 buttons. Pressing those buttons always makes me cringe.
    Obviously, this's all irrelevant in this generation now, unless you're connecting the controller up to your PC, in which case wired wins anyway. The PS4 controller seems to have fixed the Duelshock 3's issues though. Which is nice. :3

    Yup, all very true. I have a Razer Onza and it's great. Been playing classic PS1 games with it currently and only having random issues with the RT and LT in Spyro 3, but that's the only (very slight) annoyance with using it, as well as it not being very easy to manoeuvre in Crash 1 because of not being able to control with analogue sticks, but that's the game, not the controller.

    Wireless controllers (same with keyboard/mouse) seemed pretty pointless to me, unless the cable is too short or something.

    I liked the fact that I could move however I wanted with the controller, walk around with it, and even use it under a blanket.

    As for the battery issue, I bought some rechargeable batteries for ten bucks.
    A charge lasted for about two days, and the batteries themselves lasted for a year and a half before I sold the system.

    I use wired controllers for the PS3 and wireless for the Xbox 360!~

    Rechargeables are the way to go.

    I just voted, because I'm an American and that's what Americans should do.

    Same. I always say, if you didn't vote you lose the right to b**** if the outcome didn't go the way you want. :p

    I voted on the first day of early elections in my county. I had no wait and was done in like 10 minutes. It was amazingly fantastic.

    I was going to send in a ballot for absentee voting but got behind in my work such that it slipped my mind until it was too late.

    George Carlin would like a word with you.

    Besides, I don't see the point in voting for one of two pieces of ****. It comes down to the one you hate the least, which is depressing.

    Heh. Well I usually do hate them both. But I still go vote for the one I hate least or at least I think would be least damaging lol. And George Carlin is pretty funny, but what he said and what I intended to say are a bit different. Go ahead and complain about the country as a whole or if your governor or the president sucks that's fine. I just don't like when people say "I wish X got elected instead". Did you vote for him/her? "No."

    PC games installing at a snail's pace and xbox live being down altogether. Time for the NES. No installing games. No internet required. No loading time. Just put in a piece of plastic, press a button and you're good to go.

    The game of choice will be.....

    Ninja Gaiden Marathon!
