Finally got around to playing Global Agenda some more. The more I play, the more I like it

And I'll hopefully be preordering Portal 2 sometime next month, once I get my scholarship money :3

And has anyone else been using the screenshot tool on Steam now? I like it!

What's the deal with the screenshot tool. I never understood that.

When you're playing a game, you can hit F12, and it will take a screenshot of the game. It then stores it on the Steam Cloud so you can post it wherever you want.

So it stores them on Cloud now. Ahhhh.

Thats cool in a sense. I guess.

I now have a 360 controller with a cord, yay me.

@y2josh Nice, but Wiimote w/ GlovePIE trumps that D-Pad wise. I suppose a control stick would be nice.

Why use a D-pad when you already have a keyboard?

Too many buttons arrrghhh~

It does depend on the game. For example, Lara Croft GoL plays better with a gamepad while Mass Effect works better with the mouse + keyboard combo in my experience.

I'm not saying the keyboard is best in all cases, but I find that the only thing really useful with a gamepad is the analogue stick.

Well specifically with Lara Croft GoL you use the analog stick to move and the D-pad to select your weapon. 4 weapons, a direction for each of them. Pretty nifty use of it.

I agree though, I wouldn't use the 360 controller's D-pad for movement (of all things). In Super Meat Boy I just get that much more precision out of using my keyboard... somehow. Even though the game keeps blasting out recommendations that I use a 360 controller! Nintendo, Sega and even Sony's D-pads are far superior to Microsoft's though and I do like to use those a lot.

The new transforming D-pads look pretty nifty though!

I find those suspicious. Like a Decepticon is gonna pop out of them or something. /me eyes irken >_> Haha, are those out now? Any word on if they actually work well or not?

I have not heard. Let me know if you end up googling it.

Most platformers I play on PC are better with a controller, imo. My reflexes on a keyboard suck compared to a controller.

Hmmm, I should take a picture of me playing Lost Coast so you can see how crappy it looks on my PC!

...Hehehe....

AHEM... I'd like to get one of those corded 360 controllers as well, since most newer games that support gamepads only support the 360 controller T_T Maybe for my Birthday next month...
