    Favourite old school controller?

    Gaming has come a long way in the last three decades in many respects, though I think controller design gets overlooked. Some of the older controllers were absolutely brutal to use for extended periods of time. The NES controller, for example, dug into my hands after a while. Those squared-off...

    Atari?

    Let me preface this by saying that I'm old. Like, 31. That's not super old, but it's old enough that I did own an Atari 2600 back when I was very young.

    2DS?

    Does anyone own the 2DS over the 3DS? I'm the only one of my friends who does, and I'm honestly surprised about it. I prefer the 2DS. Yes, it doesn't have the 3D, but on the few games where I've tried it out I always wanted to turn the 3D off anyway. I also find the straight-faced design of the...
