I am with you there. I've been doing this whole gaming thing (with a keyboard) since I was about... well... 10 or so, then realized the potential of ps consoles, with when I was about 12. Then my life changed. Now I'm streetfightering (is that even a word or am I just neologising?) m king, tekkening, and wooping my dad's ass in every way under the sun! its so much fun, especially using the mouse, but the ps3 controller itself (if anyone wants drivers and instructions to make this possible) can be used with around 6 of our games already, making it possible to get a more mainstream feel, with top speed 2 expecially! Give it some thought people.

Isn't it amazing how resistant this comunity is to new ideas/concepts? I mean on one hand developers have been hearing this common thread that more VI gamers want to play mainstream games or games similar to the mainstream. They want something right up their with the latest titles for XBox, Play Station, and PC. However, the second they try to do so by adding a device like the mouse into the mix to add some of the features of mainstream games we come up against this rock solid resistance that says in effect, "we want to use the keyboard and just make the mouse or joystick optional." Sorry, to tell those people sometimes that is simply not realistic. The keyboard is very limited in what it can do, and the reason we are seeing advanced conttrollers like the Wii-Motes, for example, is because they are not only more natural they allow you to do so much more than a keyboard could ever do on a good day. So the question is do these people really and truly want games equal to the mainstream games or do they want to sit back and play games like Uno, Monopoly, and BopIt the rest of their lives? These people need to realise if they want mainstream games then they are going to have to change and adapt to the way sighted people do things. At least to some degree. Their resistance to joysticks, mice, etc is only holding them back from experiencing new concepts and ideas that will improve their gaming experience not hinder it. Obviously, if I couldn't use a mouse in games I wouldn't bother supporting one, but that isn't the case at all. Cheers!
