    Ideas for extra features for an original xbox controller modded for android?

    So, my big sis is a gamer and awesome in general. But after going through nerve issues and surgery, gaming cam be physically painful. I was cleaning out a closet and came across one of the early controllers for our old (and lost to the ages) XBOX classic. Controllers can make gaming easier for...

    I Want to Understand the Struggles of Asexuals

    Less porn, more gaming, basically. Though the lack of sex to be had in good dreams means more mundane, but still awesome good dreams. Like last night, I dreamed that I was able to find a great, wrought-iron gazebo to put in my back yard for only $20. ~~~~~ Asexuality is a thing. It means...

    can the rich and poor be friends?

    How can you be friends if you're spending your energy stating at their stuff instead of, you know, bonding, hanging out, doing friend stuff and the likes? Obligations and passive-aggressive grudge expression are not a part of friendship. Now, as someone whom was promised so much from family...

    Do you think it is piracy to use Cheat Engine on a F2P game to get otherwise paid content?

    If we're talking content that is already in the game's code, and the values for that content are client-side (on your computer/phone/device, etc.) then I consider purchasing premium currency to be essentially a service that unlocks the currency/content more conveniently. You can play with and...

    Why is rape in gaming largely ignored?

    In regards to the Bully example, in watching a comprehensive Let's Play of the game, I really kind of got the feeling that the developers put it in there for the exact purpose of thoughts like this thread. Rockstar got so much flack before the game was even released, I feel like having a blatant...

    Robin Williams' World of Warcraft Tribute Is Magical

    They haven't always been listening to the fanbase, but they really seem to have opened their eyes as of late. The extreme care taken into account with the woW character model updates, the revisitation of Draenor to get back to the meat of Warcraft, ending that auction house nonsense, and things...

    Looking for an RPG like Dragon Age: Origins

    Though it is DnD, I do have to second the Neverwinter Nights/NWN2 suggestions. Dragon Age is effectively Neverwinter's spiritual successor, as Mass Effect is to KOTOR. I'd pick up the first Neverwinter for cheap, set the game to a lower difficulty setting, roll whatever character you want...

    The Violence against Lara Croft in Tomb Raider 2013

    They explicitly made Lara in TR2013 out to be a sweet, educated young woman with a passion for learning, with her best buddy going on a science adventure. I don't have any Nathan Drakes in my life, nor Doom Guys nor Dovahkiin, or even a "classic" Lara Croft. But opening cutscene Lara from...

    Left handed gamers: is your layout different?

    Got quite a laugh from me. :P That being said, I'm a lefty, but that doesn't affect my gaming layout as much as the fact that I'm far more finger dexterous than wrist dexterous. What does this mean? I'm waaaay better at a trackpad than a mouse. In fact, I feel like people sorely underestimate...

    Rejecting applicants based on choice of attire

    If you're on the fence about it enough to ask the interwebz, then I'd try to better look at the circumstances surrounding the interviewee. What might have happened is that she gained a bit of weight since the last time that she wore that top. Because of the nature of my own breasts, I don't have...

    you awaken and discover...

    Depending on how things turned out, I'd start believing in a very hairy God. I mean, if people just happened to get wings or cat ears or something, that's waaaay too contrived to be anything natural. If people, say, randomly got a few extra stomachs or developed stomachs or their eyes started...

    Poll: Mass Effect without Reapers

    I like having an overarching enemy, but I woulda kinda liked it if the series did have a little more time to meander about before the reapers did their thing. Go on more adventures, explore more places... The series is strong on the RPG side and could have done well with a little more meandering...

    Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition PS4 Graphics Compared vs PS3 in Video

    They gave her makeup in the PS4 version. I mean, yes, in the PS3 version, it does look like she might have been wearing a titch of makeup before this ordeal, but the textures around, say, her eyes look a bit smudged and her mascara at least a day old. With the PS4 version, her lips are way...

    World of Warcraft Survey Talks Annual Passes, Paid Character Upgrades

    My beef with buying 90's is that having a bunch of players running around with little to no experience with a class or game in general can easily become a detriment to a community, and kinda belittles those who did have to level their characters up to that point. Personally, I'd give some...

    If Physical Problems Were Handled Like Mental Problems

    When I first found out I had a tumor in my head and before it was confirmed that it wasn't cancer or something like that, someone actually told me that if I prayed and truly believed, it would go away. That being said, people do treat physical problems like they're mental problems at...
