    My fingers have slipped off the triggers once or twice on GTA, but overall it's not so bad. It's probably helped by the fact that i've been playing the PS2 while the 360 has been bricked, so i've gotten used to it again.

    Haha I feel the exact opposite - Xbox controllers are too large and clunky. I guess it's because I started on the PS2 and never really played Xbox ever.

    The same here, I use a 360 controller for my PC and it's perfect for my big hands.

    Bah, nothing will ever beat a mouse and keyboard!! There is no better way to play first person shooters! My brother invited me over to play Gears of wars 2 on his X-box... I think my character looked like he was having an epileptic fit. I think the two enemies I killed were by accident... :(

    No argument there, but I'm not an FPS player and to me playing The Witcher, Dragon Age or Fallout 3 with keyboard and mouse is a pain when I can just plug my gamepad and relax without being hunched over my keyboard pressing W to move forward.

    I was going to say something Silvery until I saw "in my gum." No clue on that.

    I'm a PC gamer to the bone, and I still don't feel comfortable with the controllers, even though I play consoles here and then and then again with friends. I play with keyboard and this trackball, and I greatly prefer that over a mouse. I'm using a trackball for about a decade now, and I don't want to go back to mice. I use a mouse at work and I don't particularly like it. And controllers, gah, as Triactus says, far too imprecise for FPS and anything the like. The only advantage, and I give them that, is that they allow to play while hanging out on the couch.

    For one I feel trackballs are more precise, and second, with a trackball the arm lies in a relaxed position on the table without any cable dragging (or the hassle that wireless mice can be). For me that really makes a difference on long gaming sessions.

    A bit late on that brief console discussion, but I prefer the way an xbox controller sits in my hand, but I really like the soft, smooth movement of the PS3 analogue sticks. Xbox one kind of jerk about a bit.

    All hand ins have been met, I have successfully finished the first term! :D

    Well, DA just took a few hours extracting files necessary for installation, and then blithely announced that "Installation Failed, fool! Bow to the whims of your demonic computer overlord!". A totally true story with only a measure of exaggeration.

    ION: I really want the Sam and Max soundtrack bundle. Too bad I don't have an income, or a credit card.
