Most of us have a routine.  In the late afternoon I work out.  Then I get a shower.  And I shave.... using Steam's razor sharp user interface to do the job.  Its precise steel colored edges are better than BIC and get closer than Gillette.  I mean, the Steam UI is SHARP!  The recent changes aren't all bad, but they've definately softened a bit.  Don't get me wrong, I still love it, but why does everything in the online world become softer, rounder, and more bubbly? 

If you've been gaming as long as I have, you have to remember the turbo controller mainstays from the days of the NES. If you needed that extra bit of something in Mega Man, you flipped on the turbo and blasted little yellow pellets to your heart's delight. Gaming has obviously come a very long way since the 8 bit days and so have controllers. Gone are the 2 button, D-Pad control schemes, replaced by complex button presses and analog control sticks. Controllers vibrate, mimic movement and conform to the shape of your hand. One thing they don't do normally these days, is fire rapidly with one press (depending on the game and gun type). 

I was browsing some sites (as I usually do on the interwebs along with the rest of the world) and I noticed a banner ad.  This ad was for an mmorpg, and they were marketing themselves as "The most addictive game ever."
