So you want to mow through a sea of zombies? You'll need a suitable controller.

Is it too early for Christmas 2005? [via]

  • Welcome, Grignr. You may care to search the site for "mighty thews".
  • I'm not usually into gimmick controllers, and $50 is a hefty sum to spend on a joke (it's also money that could be going toward a good steering wheel), but it's pretty cool looking. If only so much work had gone into the game's control scheme; is it true I'm still going to have to go into the inventory screen to switch weapons?
  • C- Must do better.
  • Well, it's better than the MegaMan controller.
  • W—: You may care to search the site... N—: C- Must do better.
    Fine, I get it. This was a crappy post. Kill it.
  • Wait, I'll buy the controller just to spite everyone. And I thought we could at least talk about RE 4.
  • I don't have any first-hand experience with RE4 yet, but I've heard positive things about the control scheme. They've supposedly gotten rid of that hellish 'ribbon cable' scheme that plagues Code Veronica etc. (You just walk up to a typewriter and save.)
  • COOOOOOL
  • Fine, I get it. This was a crappy post. Kill it. Easy, there. W— was alluding to your nick. Nothing more.
  • What goetter says is true. My comment was in no way intended as a snark on your post. You may be thinking of some other site. And the "Welcome!" bit was sincere.
  • Mine *was* intended as a snark because I'd seen this thing months ago and elected it unworthy of an FPP. Mind you, that doesn't mean I think you, Grignr (how do I pronounce that?), are a fapknuckler. I think you're all right. Just post things about naked wimmins next time.
  • I'm rather fond of this controller, which resembles one of the ubiquitous cute, yet annoying slimes you encounter throughout the land of Dragon Quest (or Dragon Warrior, as it was known over here in the States) on the old Nintendo Entertainment Center. Ah, memories.
  • Thank you for fapknuckler.
  • Naked woman controller: dual analogue nipples, vibrates (of course), and then I could get offensive, but feel free to carry on.
  • I am sorry to have attracted your ire, Nostrildamus. I'm quite puzzled why you have thought it fit to call all my posts so far substandard. I have hardly a dozen comments on this site, and none to or about you, so I'll take it as a combination of poor posts on my part (which I'll be happy to hear useful criticism of) and random acts of curmudgeonry on yours. I don't understand--nor particularly care to understand--your "wimmins" comment. Though I would have it otherwise, it appears as though we have very little to say to each other; so I'll just wish you a good day.
  • Grignr, you take eet too seriously. Sometimes we chain Nostril to the fence, sometimes 'ee gets loose. Let it roll off. And welcome.
