Gaming with a controller is da best

Feeling the best is very gratifying.

I remember getting thumb blisters with NES and SNES pads.

About the only genre I prefer controllers for is sports games. It's a natural fit.

This thread reminded me to look up this old SW gem

Mario Kart is a fun video game for a bit, but it is not much of a racing experience. Nothing is as satisfying as a good sim racer. It takes skill to master a track and to get the most out of a car. This is where those analog triggers come in to play. It is a functional alternative to a full wheel and pedals setup. Analog triggers are also useful for flying games or anything that would want to simulate a throttle or varying degrees of pressure (fire hose, flame thrower, beam cannon, simulating grip force, etc.).

@BassMan:

Yes but that is the only genre and if one were so invested in such they'd buy a wheel, no? For everything else they are a hindrance.

Lol i remember this, he was so confident in his leet controller skills, didn't he also add insult to injury and had a rematch with the same result?

I remember @JigglyWiggly_. One time he would go on about how he could be surgeon with his skills.

Oh boy, being 18/19 with a massive ego were fun times.

Actually screw that, I'm still the best.
