Steam Controller

Not really.

Was a joke, guy.

Well your joke lead to me wasting the last hourish looking up spinners for the Jaguar, which moved into Vectrex spinners, then Vectrex stuff, and then somehow I ended up on this video:

Now I kinda want a Vita

I'm really sceptical about this :/

It feels like the something we don't need to enjoy our games. In order to be sold on new stuff we need it to make our games play better.

And making them playable on the couch does not make them better. And lol at the video, Civ V is NOT a game to be played on the TV.

I'd love to play Civ V on my couch if I had a good input method to allow me to do it. I think this controller looks like a great complement to already having an Xbox 360 controller for my PC. I don't see it replacing it, but between the two of them I could probably play most of the games I'd want to.

Sure it is. And a controller is supported from the get go.

EDIT: Er...maybe not, I must be thinking of something else.

you can probably play ALL of the games you want to now with just your 360 controller. Pinnacle Game Profiler is the shiznit.

1) lots of tiny text, not ideal when you are far away from the screen

2) 2-6 hour play sessions, how many households with more than one member can tolerate someone hogging the TV for so long?

EDIT I took out the hotkeys thing cause my post was about CivV on a TV not CivV with this controller.

Now that I think about it, I'm thinking about the touch screen aspect they baked in.

1. Can you change the font size?
2. Me

1. Can you change the font size?

Not that I know of. This is a problem with even some console games for me. The text font can be really small. And no, I've had tests I don't need glasses.

I play all my PC games on the couch. You just need a large enough TV for the resolution you're running at.
