Your user name is blue so I assume its something people used to dual shock feel. While playing Bully on the 360 I had the hardest time playing the Music class and that's just hitting the triggers in rhythm. Just get used to it. Bully is actually a wonderful game to get you antiquated with the 360 controller as all it is are minigames pressing buttons. It helps you learn the placement without having to look down and eventually you get used to it. Although if your still having pain just plug in an arcade stick and play with that.

Which game trailers made the wait unbearable? Maybe the game didn't end up delivering on the hype but damn it if they didn't get you excited for the game. For me the Gran Turismo 5 Night trailer blew my socks off, as did the inFamous 2 Quest for Power trailer.

Gran Turismo 5 ended up falling short of expectations at launch and although it got much better after all the updates it never lived up to that trailer. inFamous 2 on the other hand completely blew away all my expectations and ended up being my favorite game last year.

Which trailers got you guys excited for a games release and did it deliver?

TalkRadar is actually my favorite gaming podcast of all (including the bombcast). The bombcast folks honestly strike me as assholes who would blow me off if I ever met them in person (I'm sure they're nice to there own kind). TalkRadar actually incorporates its community into every episode. That said there community is ridiculously small so chances are if you participate in there question of the week your comment will be read. Give it a chance, you may like it.

Also the Sarcastic Gamer PlayStation podcast is really good.

And so is the IGN PlayStation podcast. For as much as the Giant Bomb community seems to hate IGN, you have to admit at least they have passion for games.

IGN game scoop is also good.

Not centered on gaming, but still a good podcast non the less. LaserTime is pretty damn great.

The two Jay and Silent Bob podcast are also good, although once again not centered on gaming.

Yea, I listen to a crap ton of podcasts, mostly because I have trouble sleeping. These are the ones that are (at least somewhat) gaming related. Besides these I also recommend Behind the Screened Door.

My very first console was also the Super NES. I remember always have uncles who were way into gaming and I would play whenever I went to their houses but I never had a console at home. Then one day I finally convinced my parents to take me to the store to buy me a Nintendo 64 (because I wanted Banjo Kazooie). Then the sales guy at the Target convinced my parents to buy a Super NES because it was cheaper and had more games available. Good move on the sales man because instead of leaving the place with Banjo Kazooie I left with Super Mario All Stars. Having the original Mario games to play as a child was wonderful and if I could, I would go back I would thank the cash register worker myself. I later also got Space Invaders, Donkey Kong Country, Scooby Doo, and Super Mario World. I had the good fortune to have gaming uncles who knew which games to recommend and that led to me never playing a game I disliked on my first console which is really the reason I still game now.

For what it's worth, I read it. When I grow up I wanna be just like you!
