Ontopic Obama on Video Games: "a distraction, a diversion."

[Rollout]

Arrow keys are for flashgames

I have one game I play, Mech4: Mercs, that takes mouse, joystick with twist, and keyboard.

It's an ass kicker.

almost got the Pheonix Control stick setup including footpedals for it, but decided against it.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Obama clearly said in his speech that he doesn't understand or know how to use those things so of course he would consider them a distraction. I consider being a sports fanatic a distraction. Like someone said early anything done to excess is almost always bad.

[Andrew Dice Clay] Unless it's sucking my dick! Ow! Get the fuck ata here! [/Andrew Dice Clay]

Waaaay worse than video games IMO, it's no different than the people watching soap operas 20hrs a day.

You don't hear groups of people sitting around arguing video games like you do hear them arguing sports teams and stats.

Everything has it's pros and cons.. He probably just commented on video games and other electronic gimmicks because they are a current fad right now.

I'm sure some other president commented on how a certain genre of music was really bad for society when that genre of music became really popular..

Except now you lose functionality of easy access to console, score, and crouch (`, TAB, and CTRL) You also make yourself more prone to hitting the Windows Key if you don't disable it.

can't you remap those?

 

[Coqui]

can't you remap those?

Yes but that's a lot of keys to remap just to move over because you start at f. Not only that but now you lose ease of functionality through keyboard to go to your primary weapon since that's now your console key.

We DELIVERY!

ummm no, and it's not even that hard to adapt to the teeny tiny difference pinky must reach... if anything it's easier since you don't have to twist your hand as much

That sounds about right, at the very least there was Tipper Gore and the Moral Majority

But those fuckers (Tipper & Bush Sr) tried to have that music banned. Dirty fucking fascists.

You'd think he'd be thrilled with the bread and circuses. We are all becoming more docile by the hour.
