since i made a blog post for wildact i figure i should make one for david (since he actually reads this). so here goes:

its usually a bad idea to port an rts game to console due to the lack of keyboard and mouse. i had a limited experience with CnC3 on 360 and i simply could not get the controls to work. fps i can understand but this is a load of crap. RTS originated on pc and that's where it should fecking stay.

i was going to post in the halo wars forum and tell everyone WHY rts originated on pc but doing that would be like covering yourself in honey and sitting on an ant farm: not too smart and very painful. i would rather not subject myself to the army of rabid fanboys. i would rather wait for the release of the game and watch them struggle to control a single unit while i manage my space marines with brutal efficiency.

yesterday i tried to plug my USB mouse into my 360 and i got what i expected:

IT DIDNT DO CRAP

all it did was light up which i suppose is better than nothing. halo wars could easily be turned into the greatest game on 360 if M$ released a tiny update which added keyboard and mouse support. i mean FOR FECKS SAKE they already have a freaking bloody messenger kit, why not just use a full bloody sized keyboard. PS3 has keyboard support, get with the times MS.

honestly the thought of commanding armies of marines against covenant with friends from xbox live brings be joy very similar to slide tackling the referee in a FIFA game. all you need is add ONE TINY UPDATE TO SUPPORT KEYBOARD AND MOUSE and you would have the greatest thing since pre-cut tape.

and its not just halo wars. kanes wrath, tiberium wars, supreme commander and universe at war could all use a keyboard and mouse. heck if you don't want to, make the update only work with selected games so we can still play FPS games with our controller.

if things come down to their worst RELEASE YOUR OWN FECKING KEYBOARD AND MOUSE, MS people will still lineup in droves to buy it.

EDIT: oh thats just great, add red alert3 and world in fecking conflict to the damn list of "games-that-would-have-been-10/10-but-wont-be-because-MS-suck-nutsack" list

EDIT2: i like times new roman font. it gives a sense of formality to my ranting. i might try using comic sans next time and ask one of you to compare.

i will keep this short:

• Final Fantasy 13 announced for 360 (http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/889/889035p1.html)
• Too Human is good
• Too Human comes out on Aug28

i suppose this means ill be able to explain the story to you, wildact...

at school i seem to have been invited to go paintballing with 19 other people (2 of which are teachers) which is kinda odd. ive never really been paintballing...

should be like counter strike with better graphics and no lag
