    Black gamer inconvenience, Xbox vs PS controller

    Well if I can change the subject for a bit haha: If you know about playing guitar you might know that certain guitarists like Hendrix, Mayer and Frusciante play in a style that was popularized by Hendrix. He usually uses his thumb of his fretting hand to fret the low E string on many chords...

    Black gamer inconvenience, Xbox vs PS controller

    Hm, for me having my hands like that would be closer to me controlling the sticks with the first joint/crease of my thumb than the bottom of the thumb pad. I have big hands and awkwardly long fingers so often when I am playing, unless I am moving the stick forward my hands aren't comfortable...

    Black gamer inconvenience, Xbox vs PS controller

    Wow, to be honest I never thought of putting anything on my thumb to help this. That would actually be a very simple yet effective solution, thanks for the suggestion! Gloves could probably help too.

    Black gamer inconvenience, Xbox vs PS controller

    Here is a picture of my ACTUAL left thumb that is now bleeding haha. I cut it PAST the nail bed just so I could show some clarity. The whitish line is where my nail bed naturally ends, the point where it is comfortable to trim it to. I cut it past the comfortable point and where it is now has...

    Black gamer inconvenience, Xbox vs PS controller

    I would very much like to avoid posting a picture haha but I assure you if my fingernails were any shorter I would cause bleeding for going past the nail bed. I krep my nails very short because i play guitar, so you please trust ME. You do not know my specific situation so I would appreciate it...

    Black gamer inconvenience, Xbox vs PS controller

    I made the mistake of mentioning this on an IGN flame-bait article, so now I'm living with that decision haha. But I wanted actual feedback. I have always preferred the Playstation controller. In fact, as a black man, I found that literally every Xbox controller I have ever owned, even the...

    Games you have brought or downloaded that you fully regret.

    I also research my games very heavily before I buy them, but I still get some disappointments: Vanquish - it definitely seemed to be my type of game going into it, but I never could get into it. Something about it was so boring to me and I never finished it. Crysis 2 - It was a nice change...

    Is it taboo to cosplay as a character clearly from another race than yourself?

    I am black and this is the first I'm hearing of the assassins creed thing and to me THAT is perfectly fine from what I see. It was well done and very tastefully done. No matter what it is, it needs to be tastefully done, because unfortunately "black face" is still a very offensive and serious...

    Breaking Bad: Am I the ONLY person who is rooting for Walt?

    Great episode! I totally called the cancer legitimately coming back btw. Walt is even deeper down the rabbit hole of fan hate with lying to Jesse so inexcusably also. Its getting harder to root for this guy, but something about the way the show is written makes me want an unconventional ending.

    Recommend good Rap/Hip-Hop songs/groups

    Common OLD Drake Specifically the "So Far Gone" album/mixtape. Most of his newer music is crap to fill a niche, but he does release a few competent tracks on his studio albums. Recently this is one of his best new tracks. (He even drops a line where he says "Drizzy still got some '06 in...

    Breaking Bad: Am I the ONLY person who is rooting for Walt?

    Am I supposed to like Hank? I admit he is not as crude, obnoxious or annoying as he used to be, but I still can't get behind this guy bringing Walt down.

    Poll: (Another) feminism discussion

    This. I only skimmed most of this thread, so excuse me if I missed things. But can someone who is strongly for changing the representation of women in media give me a legitimate, reasonable answer to this question?^^ I feel like the point of these discussions is to RAISE AWARENESS. Well...

    Who was your first crush?

    Am I seriously the first one to say this!? KIMBERLY FROM THE POWER RANGERS! I remember at 5 years old around when the show first aired, I got the spanking of my life for writing her a love letter, in crayon, professing my love for her, talking about how I would not let the putties get her and...

    Breaking Bad: Am I the ONLY person who is rooting for Walt?

    I'm not gonna bother with tags, this thread is already deep enough with spoilers that it may be hard for people avoiding them to enjoy this at all but *SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!* One thing that people need to realize that I think still humanizes Walt and gives him some anti-hero...
