Times change, so does technology.

When hasn't a controller made your hands sweat? Really, My hands might sweat while playing my DS. Just buy a glove and use the strap.

A controller hasn't made my hands sweat every time I've held one, until the Wii. The material it's made out of just makes my hands get slick in record time. Dual Shock, XBox, SNES, NES, N64, GameCube, handhelds, you name it, they don't make my hands sweat.

You mean the Wii Zapper? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_remote#Wii_Zapper

It's not even orange!!

Actually, it's not that bad, I've seen grey nintendo guns, but the orange definitely stands out more.

I was actually complementing it's non-orangeness. I think putting orange markings or tips on clearly fake guns is such a retarded idea...

It looks kinda like a sawn-off shotgun, though. I think that the best game gun was the original Nintendo Zapper. Even though it didn't simulate a gun, nor use technology even remotely similar to what we use today, it was light and it kicked ass.

The GunCon takes second place.

Really? That's seems weird. I'll have to get my hands on one to check.

Yeah, it's hard to describe. And the fact that the Wiimote is square-ish makes it trickier to hold onto.

EDIT: for the sake of the Wiimote, Link was made to be right-handed in Twilight Princess, despite him being left-handed in every other video game iteration of the character. LAME.

I always thought he was both. I heard the guy who made him is.

And that's about the Wii-mote.

Nope, Link has always been portrayed in game as being left-handed, wielding his sword with his left and holding his shield with the right. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_%28The...f_Zelda%29

"He is also one of the few left-handed protagonists in video games (with the exception of his appearance in the Wii version of Twilight Princess, where he is right-handed for control purposes)."

The only other I can think of off the top of my head is Rain from Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix, but I'm sure there are a few others.

EDIT: http://wii.ign.com/articles/733/733762p1.html

Shigeru Miyamoto said that this was changed because at E3, people were using the Wiimote with their right hand, so they changed Link's handedness. Incidentally, everything in the GameCube version is mirrored: Link is left handed, the whole map is reversed! This explains why a lot of fanart I've seen has Midna's other eye covered. Curious!

Oh what the fuck?! I just don't know what the hell is going on! I tried playing a regular DVD I got from my job at Blockbuster into my XBOX 360 which is suppose to play all regular DVD's. Well after reading the disc, the screen goes black before returning to the menu. Then I put in a special feature's disc of a movie I own. All of the special features played. When I tried putting the first disc, which actually has the movie on it and tried to access a certain scene, the screen went black and returned to the menu. This happened on every scene I tried.

First the compatibility with most regular XBOX games is non-existant on the XBOX 360 and now this? Gah! I used to hold nothing against Microsoft but now I do! You see, in my room I have a VCR but no DVD relying on my XBOX 360 for that. My uncle bought me a $500 VCR/DVD combo at Best Buy several months ago and it refused to work. I also waited too long before trying it out since I was caught in numerous activities so now I can't return it. 500 fucking dollars down the drain. I am so pissed!
