about time

I'd say that my posting frequency has decreased, though I've never been that frequent with the updates anyways. Perhaps I could say it this way: Frequency = events over time. I've been hanging out at Nadien's place, and watching my fair share of movies and tv shows on dvd. Invader Zim = awesome.
Right, so the Revolution controller. I first saw it late at night while sleepy, and admittedly wasn't too impressed. I was a bit worried about how I'd play zelda with that. BUT. Then I read an awesome article that cube.ign.com has on the controller, and now I'm really excited about it. Said controller is pictured below.


It sure looks like Nintendo took some design cues from Apple, which is never a bad thing. Combining the left analogue-stick 'nunchuku' add on, will make for a real seamless and inutitive control scheme for any game, first-person-shooter games especially. But there's awesome potential there for any game, as the motion-sensitive controller is like a super-intuitive right analogue stick, only better.


Anyways, I think that ign.com article will convince anyone who initially thought "What a stupid thing." to at least be interested in trying it out. After all, the last major change to a game system controller was the analogue stick (Nintendo64), and even that wasn't a 'new' thing. This motion sensitive thing should be pretty neat.
