I didn't think it was stupid ... I did, however, think that they were wrong ...
;D

Ugh. The crap theories on the end and the emo kids? Really?

The separation for me with modern games...with exceptions of course, is that they aren't as fun to me.
As for the controller scheme, I don't care what new gamepad you use, you cannot get the feel of Centipede without a roller ball...Ikari Warriors without a Rotary...Tempest without a Spinner...Pacman without a 4 way...Battlezone without dedicated dual sticks(i.e. at least 4-way...preferrably 2-way)...Tron without combination....etc. etc.
No matter how much you hug the new game pads, there is more then a little missing. It isn't about complicated, it is the fact that the originals cannot be done properly!
I for one HATE using my thumb for 360 moves as opposed to using my whole hand. It is much easier and makes for better gameplay.
Also, games I feel are meant to be played standing up. ;D Not sitting on your fat ass eating chips.

You need to play a couple games of Halo or (insert favorite multiplay shooting game) with some friends. Either there isn't enough alcohol or you have the coolest head of anyone I know. By the end of playing everyone is on there feet laughing and talking *expletive deleted* to everyone else.
- On a side note, it might be possible only "hardcore" gamers bought the xbox/PS2 with complicated controls, but that would also mean there are 144,000,000+ "hardcore" gamers out there.

Thats the problem nowadays...too many wimps.
Halo has an end. Fighting games can go on for infinity.
Standing up is in line with a victory pose. Sitting down just looks stupid if you are trying to put something in someone's face.
Same goes for the online experience. Where is the fear in getting your ass kicked? Gee that is so threatening...type type type. ;D
All I can say is if you get too tired/drunk then you shouldn't be playing video games. Unless ---my bottom--- is completely passed out, I can go on and on like the energizer bunny. Hours and hours and hours. My hands give up before my legs that is for sure.
Incidently...a multiplayer shooter is very possible with a well made CP panel. I have every key on the keyboard covered, and then some. I HATE gamepads, and I hate Keyboards even more. They are both fragile pieces of crap.
Arcade stick TROUNCES a thumb pad...could it get any more Strawberry Shortcake?
