You would need to plug it into the PC with a USB to Micro USB cable (Like the ones you normally use to charge a PS3 controller with.)

You'd also need a microchip for your computer to read the controller's input commands properly.

You dont, I have used one before.

I need a better driver/program on my PC for my PS3 controller.  The one I have now doesn't work for the analog sticks.  Any good recommendations?
What do I win?
An awesome-five for mentioning Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness.

Proper configuration should work. I use the Motioninjoy driver, myself, which comes with a tool that allows you to set it up with multiple configurations, too.

I'm playing Amalur right now. It's quite awesome. Kind of like a child of Legacy of Kain and Fable. Although game even on hard seems too easy, even if you are playing a friggin wizard...with permaempty manapool due to curse.
Actually, curses are mighty annoying thing  :shakefist You see, some of chests are warded with magic and you need to dispel wards in annoying minigame. Failing which gives you a curse. And curses can, for example, make you not regenerate mana ever and stupid thing like that. Of course, you can just lift them after visiting a healer. In city. And, of course, you usually get cursed middungeon  :banghead
Story is quite generic, but not bad. It's fun. And combat feels really rewarding.
Still, I see no need for controller, I play on keyboard. Though I even play Guilty Gear and other fighting stuff on keyboard, due to lack of controller  :rolleyes

You, sir, need to play a game called Chrono Trigger.

Furthermore, such gems as Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy 4 should not go unmentioned.  If we're going with Japanese titles as well, then there's a couple sequels that also belong on that list from the same franchises.

Then there's Secret of Evermore.  Fuck, even Super Mario World was amazing.

Just got Mass Effect 3.  It's rockin'.  I like the whole "war room" angle of things, where options that you take in main and side quests can alter the galaxy's "military readiness" to fight the Reapers.

Favorite games of mine:

The Mass Effect series.

Dragon Age: Origins.

Persona 3 & 4.

You, sir, need to play Persona 1 & 2. And Innocent Sin, if you can.

Ah, I was looking at Kethrian's list...

In that case, since there's some redundancy in some of my additions, I'll also throw Illusion of Gaia out there.

Assassin's Creed III information was leaked/posted the beginning of this month and just last week the trailer was released.

You're an Indian in the Civil War under the command of George Washington.
No hidden blade you get a tomohawk.
No sword, you get a pocket knife.
No hidden gun gauntlet, you get a musket and a handgun.
No buildings, you get trees.
No Anvil, you get AnvilNext.
No you vs 50 guys or you and some others vs 50 guys, instead it's you and some others vs 50 guys. Wait...

About damn time we get something that isn't copypasta.

Now, ME3 is great, until you get to the end.

Only Sunic has the language to describe the rage it has generated. Does he go to these boards, or did he just randomly disappear?

He was banned from BG, although the ban hasn't carried over to this forum.  Frankly, I haven't seen him around on any gaming forums.

I assume that is why the rules are very explict on the level of politness expected of users here. It makes me wonder, actually, what happened? If I had to guess, I would say he had an egotrip of epic proprtions.

From what I've heard, it was an ego trip of Sunic proportions actually.

Really not the appropriate thread for discussing Sunic's ban, guys.

My SNES is pretty messed up, and I am furious. I brought it out of storage after three years and it manages to play a game for about 5 minutes before freezing up and flipping out, making everything into technicolor bars.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I wouldn't expect a 20 year old console to run properly if I am honest... Maybe an original Xbox (when they get that age) but they are built like a tank (and nearly weigh as much)

From the sounds of it, you're going to need to crack that thing open and replace some parts.
