This is why we can't have nice things.

You know what? I'll likely never be great at first person shooters. My want to be really good, and my actual ability will likely never match. I have friends who play Halo or Call of Duty and are leagues above my skill level of gaming- but they get online and get they're asses handed to them.

Well all thats about to change...




...for the worse.

Again, let me re-iterate, as far as First Person Shooter skill goes, I'm average. By average I mean that I'm far below the margin of "good", and by THAT I mean: my chances of doing well in any match actually go down the longer I hold the controller in my hand. This controller, while surprisingly amazing in design, is truly built for a top percentile of gamers...lets be honest. This thing isn't a Game Genie or the equivalent of the Konami Code...The Avenger is for people who already KNOW when they boot up their game of choice, that people will logout based on their actions; Rage Quitters.


I mean look at that thing:

$60 of fooling yourself.

You have no chance against this thing. My career of playing online games of the shooter variety. are. done.

Even the description of the add-on assaults my soul:
"...The adapter transforms the XBOX 360 controller to enhance the gamer’s manual dexterity and situational awareness by improving accuracy and reaction-time. This sophisticated accessory is specially engineered for those who want to push their gaming abilities to new heights. (Chris: Or expand their delusions, and end up crying in a ball later that night.) 
... The Avenger is the ultimate secret weapon in first-person shooters, sports games, action adventure, fighting, and racing games."

In all seriousness, The Avenger looks awesome. I want to buy a set-up kinda badly, plus it has a beergut rest...I mean how forward thinking is that?
