And.... I don't have time atm to go through the article on a point by point basis. Anyone else up for it?

My personal preconceived opinion is that I agree, I much prefer Wii FPS games to Dual-Analog. I can't stand dual-analog shooters. Third-person shooters are ok, but I think that's because they tend not to focus entirely on shooting. I think I would have skipped Uncharted 1&2 if it was first-person, or if everything else about the game besides shooting wasn't as good as they were.

I just finished reading two chapters of the OS book for that course and am now going to dive into calculus stuff. Nope, I can't be bothered to read that but I want to participate. XD But as lons as we don't stray off topic...


PS: I have played lots of FPS and games on the wii in general to know that the stuff they'll come up with is stuff I already know.

I like shooters on the Wii better only for the point that it reminds me of old school arcade games. Not because the game itself is visually better, or 'more fun'. It's just sort of nostalgic and different because you aim with a physical object, and not a stick under your thumb.

I'm just commenting on what happens in general. I caught myself about to do the same, and realized how mildly absurd it is, but understandable. I did it anyway. What course are you talking about, btw -- did I miss something in your PS3 HDMI-DVI thread?

Interesting opinion from the editorial: He thinks Red Steel is better than Halo etc. And that's not a typo, that is Red Steel 1.

Nah, it's just this class I'm taking about Operating Systems. And I got the PS3 hooked up to my monitor through DVI. I just remembered that my video card brought a DVI-to-HDMI converter but it works the other way around. But I don't have any audio and will have to wait till I get my new tv to get audio out from it.
