I would've thought a 2D shooter would be exactly the place you'd want analogue movement.
I've heard that the controller itself is actually surprisingly good quality. Like, it's on ball-bearings and has enough weight that it'll keep spinning if you twist it and let it go, not some cheap plastic thing. Of course, this is also just based on hearsay.

What I want to know is, what were you doing in a beauty supply shop in the first place?Green Gibbon! wrote:キタ━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━ !!!!!
I found it brand spanking new for like 3000 yen at a tiny game/hobby shop that's hidden away on the second floor of a beauty supply shop.

Re: Psychedelic yellow pizza
I was pretty impressed that they actually made such a thing. Nobody's made a proper paddle controller since what, 1984? I almost bought it on principle. It's really the only way to play a ball and paddle game like Arkanoid, but I can't imagine how it would work with Space Invaders. Maybe this is an idiotic question, but if your right hand is busy turning the dial, how are you supposed to shoot?

Going out on a limb, but you probably just use either a face button, one of the D-Pad directions, or the L/R button(s).

But all of those would require the use of your left hand, which is just wrong. Unless you're meant to use your left hand to control the dial, which is still wrong.

Well, unless you plan on using your sphincter to move it, you don't have much of a choice, Gibbsey-poo.

Are you actually implying that a sphincter joke on this forum is inappropriate?Baba O'Riley wrote:Of all the muscles you could have chosen for this joke...The Doc wrote:Well, unless you plan on using your sphincter to move it, you don't have much of a choice, Gibbsey-poo.

I was not. I was implying that a taking it up the ass joke is played out.
