If that controller works on the PC for $50 a dual analog controller with a touchpad seems like a pretty good controller, definitely a viable alternative to a wired 360 controller. And $100 for a home theater PC (assuming XBMC or something similar winds up on it) also seems pretty awesome. It seems pretty likely at this point that it will exist as an actual physical product, so I still don't see why there is so much goonrage. It's being hyped as some sort of Xbox-Killer moreso than it really is, but if you compare it to a Raspberry Pi or something it seems pretty reasonable. e:I believe the name is pronounced as if you were the Kool-Aid man.

Shalinor posted:I'm actually cautiously optimistic at this point. It has good retail partners, and their yearly plan addresses the obsolescence problem. If the device actually catches on, it could be a cute little platform. Though I still think the GameDock is a better product, and that something that turns your cellphone into a mini-console is the actual future device to fill this niche. I think it is absolutely laughable as a gaming platform. There is nothing it does better than any existing platform, and I'm counting tablets and phones among its competitors. I think the hardware itself is interesting, and their desire to make it open and hackable means that it actually has potential to be a useful living room device. a $100 box with a wireless controller and all the power of my cellphone seems like more than enough to be a netflix/youtube/twitch.tv box. Rokus sell, and they aren't as functional, near as I can tell.

can I Skype with ouya? Skyping on a cell phone is so awkward and being able to skype in front of a screen while sitting seems like a pretty novel niche market.

ReV VAdAUL posted:WTF, "phone calls" are a pre-Web 1.0 paradigm. Of course they're not on the Ouya. The Ouya is about the future of bringing people together to interact, not the distant past. I was talking about Skype it is totally different. Seems like your knowledge of technology (techknowledge-y) dates back to when Chris Taylor was still making good games (Total Annihilation)

XboxPants posted:If you're going to be that technical, no, it doesn't, like Evil Fluffy referred to, the basic meaning is to "bring to life", coming from the same root as the word "animal". It's a synonym for "lively", as in "full of life", like "an animated conversation". It both does inherently mean that, and they used it incorrectly given their context, so even your twisted fantasy land where animated could have other meanings, they were wrong and laughably, ironically so. Do you do somersaults and handsprings in real life, or are you satisfied with the ridiculous mental gymnastics you perform on the daily to keep believing in the purity of Ouya? I'm pretty sure Gandhi was less committed to an independent India than you are to Ouya-championing.

CommissarMega posted:So... no more than one rape an hour? But how am I going to involve my players in my *~Deep And Immersive Storytelling~*™, smarty-not-XboxPants? If it is deep and immersive storytelling, it isn't porn. You can have all the story rape you want, it's just that you can only have a limited amount of analingus on the loading screens of your match 3 game.

Ytlaya posted:Is NAMBLA something different in the UK? Since the whole North American part wouldn't make much sense in that context and I imagine you'd place more emphasis on it if the guy was a pedophile. It's another hilarious renaming of the BOOYA that is made extra funny because pedophiles! Don't stomp on his comedy genius just because you don't understand it.

XboxPants posted:I was also asking because the reason someone brought up the $35 thing was to ask how Microsoft can afford for their their controller to be sold at $35 but the OUYA one costs $50. But, that question doesn't carry as much weight if the standard price of a 360 pad is $50 instead of $35. The price of off-brand controllers is also a separate question. No one is actually this dumb, right? The OUZO controller selling for $50 doesn't mean that's the lowest price they could sell it for. It means its the price they're selling it for...please tell me you understand that prices aren't driven solely by some sort of objective need for $XX.xx.
