    [​IMG]Ah, a lot of you will find this interesting, no doubt. A rundown of the most crucial signs you've seen one too many console releases and versions of D&D. Here's the first of 13 possible signs from the article:

    There are too many buttons on modern-day controllers!

    Back in the "good old days," gaming was simple. Video game controllers just had a joystick and a button. That was enough. The NES controller included another button, as well as a select and start buttons. No big deal, that's only four buttons, right? Now controllers contain upwards of 15 ways to control the game, which includes analog sticks that click downward, bumpers and triggers with multiple uses. It's just too much for your old-man hands to control.

    Here it is. Enjoy!

    I can say a definite yes to 5 of these and I'm borderline on a few more. I'm only 18... :(
