This is the first and last day of adventures for the proud Snoopette. It's difficult to make a selection of interesting footage in the 90 minutes of video I had recorded, so the files are quite big. Tonight Snoopette hunts, chats, change armors and rides a horse by sunup.

I just walked into Futureshop as I was heading to ebgames to pick up my copy og GRAW and saw like 7 copies of the collectors edition there... so I got one. It was also in stock at ebgames too but I didn't want to take a chance and both stores are in the mall here in Port Coquitlam BC.

No, it doesn't. Other functions you can but not movement or aiming/looking. But it is a great game.

Thanks for the vids, Blim:) Oblivion sure looks great, but I've been playing Morrowind for a while now. Yes, i got my copy of Oblivion, but I'm still playing Morrowind:/ Only because, I'm waiting for my 360, to come back from germany:(
Days without 360-> 23, at the moment...

Hehe...Damn you, Prior Maborel! Lady Snoopette was sleeping, and you just sneaked into the same bed with her . Shame on you...

Ok thxs.. Makes me doubt again if I should get it (if it really involves FPS gameplay).. :(

I'm sure it's a great game, but it's yet another Xbox 360 game that screws southpaw/lefty gamers over.. Imho developers should get a clue, leaving out vital options like that.. I mean how hard is it to swap the control from 1 stick to another?? It's simply costing them sales now.. And even if it's not alot of sales, a sale is a sale.. Only because of 1 simple stupid missing option.. It's really starting to piss me off tbh..

And why is the thumb of your right hand more accurate than the thumb of your physically and naturally preferred left hand. Perhaps your gamepad preferences are merely of habit than actual physical need.

I would have no problem controlling the camera with my right thumb if need be, being right handed. The left side of a controller is the main control simply because the d-pad was on the left side in classic controllers of old (NES, Master System etc).

I would however refuse to use my left hand to control a mouse or a joystick where the entire hand is the operator instead of your inaccurate thumb.

I think it's more of a habit thing, than anything else.
You will automatically do it the way you are used to, no matter how hard you try not to do so.
I've got the same with inverted view, I just can do it that way, just to confusing!
Furhermore, there's a simple solution for it, so why not bother implementing it anyway?!

I hope you (you being Blim and Snoopers) realise you've created a cult character in Snoopette. I demand further chronicles of her adventures, aswell as a custom intro with a theme song.

Not that I'd ever get that, though. :(

I think all this southpaw complaining is rediculous. I am a left handed gamer and I do not, and refuse to, use the southpaw control sceme. It's all a matter of getting used to a control scheme. I have so issues controlling the game because I am left handed. The very idea that a left handed person needs the analogs switched is beyond me.

Hey, better yet, why don't all of you complainers invest in creating a completely left handed controller, with the dpad on the right and the buttons on the left. See how well it sells...

So tell me this, can you play FPS with inverted camera aswell as normal?

Well, if you're skilled enough(VERY skilled), you could try this:

Dont know if that really works, but maybe I'll give it a try:/ (If I'll get a cheap controller somewhere) oh yeah, and the skills too...
Would be cool to have Southpaw controller...

YES - it supports SOUTHPAW! As far as I can tell no one has answered this yet. If you go into the game, there is no option to set up southpaw controls. However, if you set up your conrol scheme in the 360 dashboard before entering the game, it will default to the southpaw controls in game.

Hope that helps. Now... we just need a patch for GRAW and BF2:MC...
