Just bought a new PS3 pad on eBay. I bought a few games recently without doing sufficient research. Turns out many of them require the SixAxis motion controls that my AfterGlow pad doesn't have. So I grabbed a SixAxis-enabled DualShock 3 to bypass the issue once and for all. Besides, this alleviates many fights with my flatmate as she's been forced into the eternal 'Player 2' position and until now forced to use my crappy hard-wired spare pad (also no SixAxis) 'cause I'll be damned if I'm giving up my AfterGlow controller to her Cheeto dust infused grubby fingers.

As for games, I grabbed Lightning Returns even though I know it's garbage because my flatmate is going through the trilogy. Grabbed the Killzone trilogy (hence the requirement for SixAxis) and the fantastic Alien Isolation. And thanks to the purchase of Alien Isolation I may now need to purchase new pants 'cause that alien is f&%king terrifying.

No you're prepared when the real "YOOKA-LAYLEE" is released. :creep:

Seriously though, you know how to play this or plan to learn, was it for a gift?:ninja:
Just for messing about with really. I'll probably get bored with it once I can knock out a passable 'Adventure Time' theme tune.

Well, my new PS3 pad arrived today. And of course there's a problem. Despite being, at face value, an official DualShock 3 PS3 pad, there's no SixAxis controls. Either they don't work or they're just straight up not there to begin with. So I tried to press the little reset button in that hole at the back, as advised by a quick google search, only to find there's nothing in the hole. It's just a hole. There's no reset button inside it, the pin goes straight through up to the hilt. Addding further suspicion was the fact that much like my AfterGlow pad, the controller switches itself off after a period of inactivity. The system isn't set up to do that, it's only my AfterGlow pad that does it, my old official pad never did this, it stayed on until the battery died.

I must therefore conclude that this is in fact a cheap-ass 3rd party controller that's been stuffed into an official Sony shell. I am FURIOUS right now. The whole point of the purchase was to enable SixAxis control so I could play games like Killzone and my daughter could play Flower again, she was heartbroken when my other pad broke. Angry letter sent to the seller and the item's been flagged on eBay as fake. I suspect I'll be getting a full refund any minute now. Lesson learned, even a decent photo is no guarantee of honesty on eBay. I don't appreciate the seller pulling the wool over my eyes. So either he gives me a refund or I'll hunt the bastard down and ram a whole sheep up his arse.

A tube of fake blood for my The Purge cosplay. I will be wearing the Statue of Liberty el wire mask and spent a little money on the smaller details.

I just ordered a pack of five 64 gb micro sd Patriot branded cards from Amazon. Love the brand and will definitely be installing A9LH on different systems. (One of them is for a 3DS I'm picking up today, and the other is for my phone.)
