    Have you tried putting in directional combos with an analog stick? If you play 2-d fighters, you need a dpad (and this is where the 360 pad is a pain). Unless you're some kinda weirdo.

    Yeah it's pretty much impossible to do any sort of precise d-pad controlling with a joystick. Unless you're letting it snap back to the center before each movement, but that just makes everything take longer to input.

    Hmm yeah that makes sense. Upon hearing "2D games" I incorrectly thought of platform games.

    My girlfriend got this for me for my birthday and Xmas gift. finally got to open and play it early last week. very fun. Kinect is okay but I'm also getting used to it. Voice commands would be a bit better if it heard me clearer. But otherwise I'm a nerd and proud that I have this system. Plus in our house we have Wifi and finally I have an Xbox that can go wireless

    I saw this video before. My first reaction was to die inside, but then a part of me enjoyed seeing slave Leia movin' her hips like that.

    Found this ebay seller in hong kong with these awesome color versions of my absolute favorite mouse, the Microsoft Intellimouse Optical.

    They had different colors available in matte and shiny. I went with matte, it feels really nice (different than the original mouse)

    In before people hating on the yellow though. And the steel series logo.

    Not at all. My hand is covering it the whole time, and it's tucked far down in my peripheral. That'd be like saying the capslock light is distracting.

    A toenail clipper in the clipping position? Gross.

    My sister's desk is (or was) way more disgusting, with cups and bowls everywhere. Cups with rotting milk in them.

    I'm sure those clippers are just for clipping excess plastic on the models...

    ...right?

    Nope, those clipped some nails just 14 hours ago.
    I could post my dishes stack, but I'm pretty sure nothing's rotting on it yet, so I'll concede victory to her.

    Ignore that last thing I posted this is the real shit

    The LCD doesn't actually look like that with those colors, but I had to take this pic in the dark with flash and it turned out that way. But anyway, the unit is sexy as hell and sounds awesome, and has so much functionality. I've got a coaxial to optical converter on the way, so I'm going to have a 100% digital signal path to my audio card.

    I got my Fennec fox from Build-A-Bear today! Her name's Fianna which means fair in Irish. Very appropriate I thought!

    Pedantic much? If there's one thing that's inconsistent in Irish, it's how names are spelled. The correct spelling of the Irish word pertaining to fair would have the prefix Fion-, being Fionn for a man or Fionnuala for a woman (literally fion-ghualann or fair-shoulder, implying long fair hair). incidentally, the Fianna were Fionn's followers so I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't some sort of link there between those two words; Fianna has come to mean "soldiers" or "warriors" but the name probably comes from the original association of the Fianna with Fionn, who had fair hair and whose name means fair.

    Fiona is, I believe, is a name made up by a Scottish poet which pretends to have origins in ancient Gaelic.

    i took the name Fianna from one of my name books and it is stated there that it is Irish for fair or white. Fiona's too generic and dull anyway; I wanted something a bit more interesting. And Kipling's right: Fiona is Scottish.
