It's a good thing your keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitors, external hard drives, and the case itself are all highly tossable. Also when in doubt you can throw your cat, chair, baby, or mug.

There's also the table, and, as a last resort, yourself.
I hope people know I was joking >_> I am not that crazy.
I was mostly responding to people in general.

What? Even when you get critted behind full cover then miss two thirds of your 90%+ shots which leaves you losing another couple to unmitigated bombardment? And then you look over and discover that the cloud effects are randomly appearing to teabag your fallen soldiers. That is a whole lot of chill you have there...

So, my latest theory is that the snehks are magical girls. It explains why they look completely different. They actually don't, it is just that we are incapable of recognising them as the same entity. Also, I am pretty sure that I can hear them shouting "amore infinite tongue embrace" before they grab an agent. It also explains why they probably have the same torso silhouette as the new Lara Croft...

As long as it's not a strategy game or like a city builder, I would never play a PC game without a controller, seriously. PC means the best of both worlds - couch gaming with a nice controller, and great processing power! Not being forced to the hassle of using mouse + keyboard. Totally breaks any game for me.

I game from an easy chair, with wireless mouse and keyboard :D  Like a couch for one, and the arms make decent mousepads.  Though maybe I've lost some precision...  Maybe that's why I don't play much twitch shooters and didn't see anything wrong with NewCOM's interface, it demands little precision (but thus doesn't *utilize* precision).

Right? Aiming is so much better with a wrigglestick.

Everyone knows wireless mouses and keyboards are a myth, anyway.

Gotta love it when PC games have soft aim-assist.  When it's VERY subtle it can be kinda nice, but generally it's just weird...

There are games you are way better with a controller. Even a cheap one.
Let's take Sonic Racing Transformed for example.

You absolutely need ALL of those keys to race even remotely well. (well maybe you could survive without using pause and team weapon regularly but everything else is essential.)
Let's be honest. A controller is essential for a game like that.

FPS games are another story because they just use the mouse roller and WSAD. Sometimes E F or Q as a "interract with enviroment".
But that's all!

The only reason FPS seems to work on consoles is because everyone is hadicapped equally (by having to use a controller).

TBS might work with a pad but only because it's a TBS and you have all the time in the world to fight the pad.

RTS?
