Ah, yes, controller disassembly and reassembly.  The moment you get it back to a functioning state, consider it a miracle if it is even slightly better then before.

It makes me wonder if people have constructed arcade-style sticks for N64, for all of the two or three decent fighting games in the entire N64 library. Most of the N64 controller hacks/mods I've seen are just to add a second analogue stick. Most of these hacks look even sillier than the original controller did, resulting in a four pronged controller in most cases.

IIRC you get knocked back as normal, and you go back to first person but you can't actually move or shoot, others will still see you taunting in the air and tauntkills can still finish

Yeah, this, as I discovered several years ago on a reduced gravity server, where an airborne soldier blasted my heavy into the air before getting hit by the pow! before I landed.

Showdown/Pow! is its own interesting taunt - it actually fires an invisible bullet that can be slightly aimed.

Successfully managed to hoard 50k Knowledge points. I have no idea why I did that. Other than the achievement. I also (barely) kept AI Progress within the first tech level.

AI War: Fleet Command. Next ownage was spending that Knowledge. Needless to say, my maximum fleet size went up from 500-600 to over 1400,  and I don't think I've pushed it as far as it can. Also got more scouts and found both AI home stations and all of the A-network Core Shield generators.

Not sure if this is technically "ownage" as such, but my character has a martial skill of 28. It should be 30, but he lost the 'Brave' trait, presumably because the game thought it would be entirely unfair if my capital county got a 150% boost (100% for the martial skill, 50% for capital) to the levy size as a result of this.

He assassinated his brother  - my previous, unwanted character, I may or may not have manufactured the attempt by giving some of the participants council posts - to ascend to the throne of the King of Norway. Has the Tough Soldier education thing, and he's a Varangian, Viking and Berserker, has been involved in 3 of the personal combat things, one disappeared into the ether, one was a draw (I was alright with that, as the other guy was my marshal, despite him having a personal combat skill of 1 versus my 5) and the other one was a victory which would have got me the 'scarred' trait, had I not already got that from the healed wound that I got in the draw. Winter specialist and No Surrender combat traits, useful in Scandinavia...

The only annoying thing is that I'm a tribal government, unreformed Pagan, so I can't change my succession rules from Elective Gavelkind, and my heir has been in my prison for about 20 years and WON'T DIE.

No. Bad. The C buttons do not work well when you map them to a joystick. I know this from emulation.

Also bad. Soulstorm is bad. Play Dark Crusade, instead. Or even DoW2. I hate DoW2 and I still think it's better than Soulstorm. Case in point.

I thought taunt animations cancel if you get juggled?

Either way, TF2 is filled with all kinds of little glitches and quirks at this point.

My favorite is firing the Engineer's pistol while holding down the "Reload" key.
It makes him hold it more sideways, so I feel like a gangsta.

There's a mode for some N64 FPS games where you can use two controllers to play, so you get dual-analog control. It's more disorienting than anything because I'm so used to the standard N64-FPS control scheme (Tank controls on the analog stick, use the C-buttons to strafe and look up and down).

That's fun to do.

Too bad I don't have a matador getup for doing that.
