A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Holy shit.
Ditto
normally i'd think a post like this is pointless, but in this case... +1 :)
need this for zombies
Sure as hell getting this! Since all I need is one so I can use for Killzone2 AND MW2 pc.
hmm. forward and lateral movement is controlled by buttons and only thing controlled by moving the gun is viewpoint?. i can see 98% of people using this in a swivel chair lol.
@vimik
I think you are on to something. If you want to add a bit more hilarity hook up a DDR pad and make that control your navigation. I can see it now....
"let me STOMP on over to that jeep and kill those suckers"
**Turns on ipod and proceeds to groove on over to the jeep**
you would need like a dedicated room for this thing, no furniture, just a computer and surround sound
WoW, Either RedneckTechie got a celebrity makeover or hes been using that investment money for shenanigans.
@sacapuntas Except they won't be saying, "suckers". ;)
Capitalism is a beautiful thing....
Make it ready for Modern and he's got a deal.
Obama does not think so.
PS: We have private hospitals as well here in Denmark. Some people want an alternative to the government run hospitals...and so they are willing to pay more for that, just like you do in America. Denmark is in my oppinion not like USSR, Soviet, China or any other "commie" country that you mentioned, we also get paid to go to highschool and University...
Capitalism is great in some ways, just like socialism is great in some way...why not make the best of it?
Haha, the ultimate in sarcasm, capitalism is a beautiful thing, it's a good thing I wasn't taking a sip when I read that :D
@ACER: And that is different from other countries in uh, which way? In Germany our politicians are corrupt and too dumb to even listen to experts telling them something is a stupid idea. China has big corruption problems, just like Russia.
What the... I thought this was a tech blog... what's with all the politics talk?
What's with the hysterical politically motivated voting is a better question.
The abuse of reporting and removing comments that you disagree with is making engadget start to seriously annoy me....
WANT
OH SHI-
Totally getting that for PC and crossing the streams.
Whatever you do, Dont cross the streams !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That would be bad!
well im gonna look at the trap
what do u mean cross streams?

He's not talking about what you do with your roommate in the bathroom..
WOW that sure won't make me look like an idiot, especially the way he's playing it.
which is probably why he's playing it in his garage :P
yeah haha
you might have noticed that he wasnt very good at the game lol
How on earth would you make it compatible for all the consoles?
usb. all systems have usb. only way it could work if it was plug and play.
I don't care - I'd buy any console that this works with. Talk about imersion gaming, it's almost like having a freakin' holodeck!
and its wireless. prolly able to connect to all of them.
Yeah, it still blows my mind that a mouse can work on a PC, a Mac, PS3...
/end sarcasm
PC > 360,PS3
I don't know how this would work on the Wii, the control system for shooters there use a different system then PCs/Consoles, and I doubt many developers would work to add in a niche product support
Just so nobody gets too excited, this will NOT work on all games as advertised on the consoles, *only* games that support a mouse and keyboard... of which there are how many? Aside from Unreal Tournament? Reason for this, is it's still just a mouse and a hacked apart keyboard, and he said it's plug & play, no special drivers.
It's not like Splitfish's FragFX, which is a programmable and customizable mouse and "nunchuck" controller for PS360; what their peripherals do is take input from the mouse, run it through a controller unit to convert the mouse data to data that resembles an analogue stick, and then sends it to the system. This step is essential for a mouse-like input to function on all games, because the game thinks the peripheral is actually an analogue stick. This, however, does not sound like it will have that controller; it's just a hacked up gyro mouse and keyboard.
I could be wrong, but *highly* doubt it, since he said there are no special drivers. If it had the controller unit to convert the mouse data to analogue signals, it would need special drivers in order to work on the PC. So yeah.
and what was the link? blackall? blackcall? .net
nvm.. it's blackhall.net
backball? blueballs? Hugeballs.net? What was that site again?
Looks like a great product, but my god he sounds like a tool. Also, did it say "GameGun. Don't be stupid" at the end?
makes no sense
hahaha, yeah... the first video, I thoguht the same thing, second video, I thought there is no better person to pitch this product.. third video, this guy has me sold, I need to give him my money, just because he talks so aweosmely.
I imagine his slogan will be something like "GameGun. Know it. Believe it. Live it. GameGun."
That looks very nice.
Yeah Cause I'am totally gonna walk a round my living room looking like an idiot. It would be better with a VR headset, you would still look like an idiot but you wouldn't have a stupid screen mounted on your gun.
Must be why this guy looks to be doing it in a garage of some sorts.
Although a VR headset would be nice, you might look like an idiot running into all your furniture.
Your insecurity speaks volume. If you're that worried about your image while playing games you probably should find a new hobby in the first place.
It's just not the same without the mullet.
Alright! Buy it so YOU TO can get angry at how much more you suck with it!
That's spelled t-o-o in case you were wondering.
