Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better? I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog?

]]> Comment on Microsoft Unveils Redesigned Xbox 360 Controller by Jimster http://penfield-project.com/microsoft-unveils-redesigned-xbox-360-controller/comment-page-1/#comment-473 Jimster Mon, 08 Nov 2010 11:27:58 +0000 http://penfield-project.com/?p=316#comment-473 My initial thought was, "Why change the green, blue, yellow and red scheme of the face buttons?". Turns out this is a controller aimed at the more hardcore segment of the Xbox's userbase. If you've been gaming on the Xbox this long already, chances are you don't look down at the face buttons too often or rely on their color coding. The real change, of course, is the transforming d-pad. Gripping the edges of the d-pad and twisting it clockwise will cause the 4 corners to recede into the controller, providing a much more pronounced separation between up, down, left and right. It takes a little effort to actually accomplish this, but at least you'll know it'll never slip during gameplay. Frankly, I'm not quite sure why they bothered with the transforming design instead of having the corners permanently receded, but it works.

Does it hide in the shadows and wait to scare people who aren’t paying attention?We will have to find out. It wouldn’t surprise me if some dedicated fans even bowed down in front of this mascot.
