    Default Games Consoles

    Is it just me?

    Was given an X-Box from friend who moved to Oz. How many fucking buttons on the controllers?

    Two joysticky things
    A directional pad
    A wierd Xboxy button
    Start Button
    Back Button
    A, B, X & Y button
    Four more triggery things on the front.

    What the fuck? All I want to do is pick up a platformer - left, right, jump and shoot!

    Remember coinops like Shinobi, Side Arms etc?

    Not now - you have to be a fucking octopus to play the fuckers!

    At 37 I'm feeling it's all too much - back to Wii Tennis

    Have you looked at one of those Atari 2600's ? Might be right down your street

    I had a PS1 and PS2, dunno what it is about the X-Box, just seems a bit manic. Tried to play call of duty and gave up - just too much effort. And I used to be into PC gaming (Counterstrike, Urban Terror etc).

    Must be an age thing. Will be moaning about kettles having too many switches next

    Warlords on the 2600 was by far the best game, it would still be a blast today if you got a few mates round.


    Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean
    the same thing?
