Thanksgiving and Wireless Gamepad.

Thanksgiving was wonderful! I got to see my cousins, played some games, watched some shows, etc. (Oh yeah, and I ate food.) Even though I wouldn't consider it the highlight of my Thanksgiving, I watched the episode "Blink" from Doctor Who. That was a scary episode. At first, it's kinda put me off from Doctor Who, but maybe I'll watch another episode. I'm just not interested in a marathon like my brother wants to do with me.

Blink was scary as heck. I didn't have any nightmares about it, but I will confess, in the dark that night in my room, I kept thinking I saw Weeping Angels in the corner of my eye and around me. Creepy! They did a good job of scaring you in that episode.

Also, in October, I got a wireless gamepad because I was tired of my old one with all the cords. Though, if anyone wants a cheap, fantastic-working PS1 gamepad for their PC, I'll happily sell it or give it to you (depending on the situation). It works pretty good and has served me well.



Anyway, the new gamepad is pretty awesome. It's laid out like an Xbox 360 controller and even has a button in the middle--like the Xbox one--as if you could use it to turn something off or on (maybe it's compatible with the Xbox 360? I dunno). It's a Logitech F710 Wireless Gamepad. Normally costs $50, but I got it for $30 on eBay, and it works great.

When playing on BSNES, though, I have to (well, I don't "have to") use where the "B" button was for the "A" button because the Xbox 360 layout is reversed from the SNES one. I could change the button scheme in the emulator to match up the buttons correctly, but I've gotten used to using the location of the "B" button for "A" now, so changing it would just confuse me.

It's a good gamepad, and I like it.

Anyway, happy Thanksgiving! I hope yours was great! :)
