jerry rig everything did it as a child

idk why but the cutscenes make me think of space ghost coast to coast

Lol😅

I had the same Gravis 6 button gamepad from my Windows 98 days up untill my XP days.

I feel like it's more likely that it was either from the molding process, or it's from getting splashed with some a liquid of some description. It's possible that the owner spilled hot broth or soup onto it, hence why it was opened up and cleaned. Alternatively, I've heard that one of the most common ways that people ruin their electronics is the result of candles being lit next to them, so it's also likely that there could have been candles nearby that were either depositing wax onto the plastic or just burning it from proximity.

you shouldn't paint your fingernails for these videos. they are horribly distracting

Your nails are pretty

Btw love your nails

Hmmm serial yummers. I have that weird 6 button sidewinder

I saw the nail polished fingers and I switched off the video. 💅🏻🎮💅🏻 🚫🖐🤨

Jacked Ass

Excuse my lack of musical terminology: I have yet to get through the video as I'm not even a minute in so sorry if you did mention it later on, but I was very confused to start hearing "Ratchet & Clank - Kerwan - Metropolis's" beginning synth. I can see that it's not part of the soundtrack as I skimmed through the whole soundtrack, so I guess it's just a part of 7th Level's intro judging by another video of the splash animation. I'm gonna assume this track is a part of a music disc that both 7th Level and Insomniac must've taken from, cause they sound nearly identical. It'd be really interesting to know what this disc is, kind-of like the search for the original SM64 Metal Mario texture. (R&C Song in question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnjcgWSajM9nhbs

out of nowhere you just unlocked a memory of my childhood with a2 racer, i been looking for this game for ages cuz i couldn't remember its name, I only remember the sound effects and some of the cars.

Nice collection of weird controllers, currently I am collecting some too. So far I've gotten PS Move racing wheel, dk bongos, dj hero turntable, rb3 midi piano, tony hawk stride skateboard and a few more

Epic

10:13 kinda wish controllers had this now Could be cool to have for navigation and games could use it like if it was a mouse scroll wheel so you could zoom with a sniper or switch a lot of weapons fast

There was also the Flight sticks(Precision and Force Feedback 1 & 2) and the actual Sidewinder Steering wheel.

I had the SideWinder Game Pad Pro and that made me click on this vid

tbh i found myself getting grossed out by scott the woz's nails on his last video about gameboys so this is refreshing

Sorry man, your disgusting nails distract me a lot. Dislike!

Delete your patreon Cringy 💀

9:09 HOW THE HELL IT ENDED UP THERE💀💀💀

Steve: I work for the govement. ... .... ...... ....... .......... Nick: No way.

Oh man all this bad D-Pads giving me second party control PTSD

What's wrong dude? Why using nail paint?

I don’t know if anyone brought it up, but I think I know how the first controller works. When you did the test it showed the inputs as the astrological symbols, so I think that it’s basically just a D-pad with 12 buttons.

Great video! Really interesting controllers, I'd love to see a modern take on that super weird FPS focused one. Also, I'd have loved that wireless 360 wheel as a kid

Funny how Sega Rally plays similar to how it does with the Saturn 3D pad, you're actually better off using the d-pad as that's been optimized to add some very nice "fake" analog movement, which makes it so much fun to play with a regular saturn controller But when they added support for it in Sega Rally Plus it feels pretty awful, as the 3D multi pad doesn't excel at precise movement from the center to the edge, (perfect for NiGHTS, and only NiGHTS) which makes it feel like you've got a steering wheel that violently slams from all the way right to all the way left, without the automatic easing into the directions that's been coded into the digital controls. Real bummer, even worse that they added it to the back of PLUS as a selling point, whilst steering with the 3D pad feels just as bad as it does in the original with the 3D pad, all they really added was a picture in the menu and analog accelleration and break.

Frankenstein's (PC) Controllers

I like how tow the Sidewinder Game Pad and Freestyle Pro have 6 buttons, it makes me think of the Sega Genesis 6-Button Game Pad or the Saturn Game Pad. Interestingly enough, Sega and Microsoft have a history as the Dreamcast has support for Windows CE and its gamepad would influence the design of the original Xbox controller. Though oddly the Dreamcast had a 4-button layout instead of the traditional 6, while the Xbox "Duke" controller _did_ have a 6-button layout, only instead of "C" and "Z" buttons it had "White" and "Black" buttons located to the right of B and Y, but the S controller would relocate these buttons to below A and B, making them awkward if you wanted to play Capcom vs SNK 2 with a proper 6-button pad. (Of course, with the bad D-pad, you'd be better off either getting an arcade stick or playing the PS2 version with its still-not-perfect-but-at-least-not-squishy D-pad.) Why did the Dreamcast controller get rid of the C and Z buttons anyway? The 3D pad also had an analog stick and triggers, plus 6-buttons, the Dreamcast should've kept that! Oh well, the 4-button layout has become standard anyway, and I can't imagine a PlayStation or Nintendo controller using a 6-button layout unless it's a third party controller for fighting games that move the bumpers to the face.

I played this one back on the PS2, and I think people are entirely correct to look back on it fondly. Yes, even back circa 2005 it was offensively linear & awkwardly pace, plus full of bland Kong sections. I remember thinking this when I played it! What really sold this game (in 2005) was ATMOSPHERE. Giant centipedes & packs of dinosaurs hunting you from a first-person perspective. Being able to distract the local wildlife by offering them an easier meal than you. Almost entirely diagetic interface, complete with your character counting bullets out-loud instead of a HUD. Characters that look like recognisable film actors, voiced by the original cast, interacting with the player character in gameplay. Carrying one item at a time (and a holstered/slung gun) so there's a constant awareness of your HANDS and what you're carrying. I'm judging a lot of the atmosphere as a person who DIDN'T play Resident Evil 4 in 2004, of course.

I have an old D-input controller that works just fine on the Steam Deck just without rumble (rumble branding is all ove the controller). Spleaking of D he sounds like the KZbinr Captain Disillusion.

It may be missing the one rubber nub but at least 3D printers exist. If it only has one rumble motor then maybe whoever made this went on to work at Nintendo to make the game cube controller? Lol jk

22:56 [sad beep]

"What kind of sicko would play half life with a controller?" Valve actually enabled the game a year ago to do just that

The dualstrike would probably be usable if it moved the crosshair more similarly to a mouse than trying to be a joystick. (at least for small movements)

I think it would be cool to see a revision of the sidewinder Dual Strike, it has some good ideas, but the execution has definitely failed

the rightoids in the comments getting pressed over a dude painting his nails is so funny like yall are the same people that call everyone you don't like sensitive snowflakes who are offended by everything

Doom, people can get Doom to run on anything, but can they control it with anything?
