The Horrors that are dealt with gaming

OK, so how many of you remember that ghastly N64 controller? Raise those hands high so I can see them.
Hmm...freeblogging is awesome! Ok, back to the point of conversation. Remember how difficult it was to play with that damn thing. Josh and I were talking yesterday about different controllers, alas, that came up. So then why was it such a piece of shit? Well, for one it was just wonky. It hurt when you put your fingers to clasp around this gray backwards n shape. The z button was on the button, again fatigue would set in through this process.
It wasn't such a large gripe but ya know it was annoying as usual.
Now this can spur other topics of conversation.
So the other crazy thing was we talked about other controllers. I brought up the dreamcast controller, he hated the damn thing. Whereas, I thought it was crafted from the immediate heavens, so meticulous and brave was that controller. It was so innovative that if you look at the Dreamcast's big brother controller a la, X-box, it inspired that. So now this has gone from a rant to a little piece of history?? Yup, the X-box controller is very comfortable as I remember but it started essentially from the old DC days.
These are random thoughts as well.

Oh, please if you are in the area check at Kadali Coffee near DU. It has some amazing-ass coffee!! In fact, that is where our conversation spurred!

Thanks for reading
