Dealing with females has got to be the most infuriating thing ever. Ninja Gaiden? Devil May Cry? Castlevania? Contra? Ain't got shit on how damn frustrating trying to understand the female mind is.

I can take Dr. Wily out without my health meter tanking damage.

Can't say the same thing for girls and my ego.

The crux of her argument seems to be "The analog stick is a fiddly little piece of shit when it comes to aiming" and, well, that's always seemed pre-eminently obvious to me.
It did clearly state at the beginning that it was less of an article than a rant and whatnot.

After about an hour I realized there just are no good CDX icons to be found. So I had to make my own :?

Anyone who wants to is free to use it. Might as well take advantage of my effort.

True enough, maybe Deez is just as "GODDAMN BLOODY ANALOG STICKS" as the author.

We have engineered a true test of the Wixar. With this new technology the windex nation will have renewed vitality on the field. The Chinese are arming the men with the mass produced cloaking devices as we speak.

I pretty much agreed with the post too. It sounded a lot like me when I get wound up and rant for 10 minutes about something stupid. :lol:

I managed to power through Infamous though. Wanted to throw my controller a few times, but the game was good enough to suffer through the control. A lot of shooting people was 'do my best to aim as best as I can vertically and shuffle my body left and right for horizontal and hope for the best with the auto aim'. Of course games wouldn't need auto aim if dual analog were suited to the activity.

NO SKILZZZZ!!!!111!!!!

Gahh. I lost all my urge to finish The Witcher 2, and now feel like selling it. Also, I have no idea what I'd replace it with. Doom 64 is quite possible, and I'm still looking at 360 stuff. Viking: Battle for Asgard, Vanquish, Catherine, Portal 2, and others.... but I don't know if my retro store has any of those.

lol I don't hate dual analog that much, it just never felt intuitive to me.
