A ridiculous amount of games support controllers these days. And since those haptic feedback things are on it, they can supposedly emulate a mouse pretty well.

MMORPGS, RTS, City builders support controllers? like you use the analogue to move the mouse and 2 buttons for right click and left click?

curious has anyone dabbled w/ the SteamOS beta yet? I'm considering throwing it on my media box if I can find a spare HDD to test it out myself.

Does anybody know what the hell is going on with the Steam Controller? It looked so promising and it seems to have gone the way of the dodo and the gaming press seems to have forgotten about it.

last was officially announced was that it was delayed til 2015. On the one hand yeah it sucks that the hardware was announced then pushed back. On the other, I'd rather they release something that works well so I'm ok w/ them taking their time.

I wonder if we have one of those around here ... seems like we have a lot of stuff like that at my work. I know we have a Oculus somewhere too, I should probably check that out at some point.
