I did not know about this.

Thanks!

[Mr. Gundam]

Never heard of this before, just played some Contra and Gradius.

[Smooth Groove]

That's pretty cool although it's hard to play most of those games with a keyboard.  It'll be fun to mess around with during class.

And now I have yet another distraction for me while I'm at work.

[CurseoftheGods]

That's actually pretty awesome.

Thanks, Borys.

Hot.

[Bloodwake]

Dammit, guess I'm going to get less done at work than usual.

Wow you don't know how hard it is to play Mario with a keyboard

Wow you don't know how hard it is to play Mario with a keyboard

Oh yes I do.

I recommend the 'cross-over' method, of using your right hand on the 'z' and 'x' and your left hand on the arrow keys.  Only helps so much, but still better than trying to control movement with your right hand.  I still don't get why everyone insists on mapping games to this style when every console ever uses 'right hand = movement; left hand = action buttons' mapping.  They should map it to WASD and ',' '.' or something.

Edit: As pointed out in the replies below, that should be 'left hand = movement; right hand = action buttons'

ijkl for movement, a s for b, a and then b, n for select and start. Worked for me for over a decade now.

You mixed those two up.

Doah, you are right.  Fix that in your mind when you read it, I'll add an edit tag.

My point still stands.  IJKL isn't any better, it's still switching the roles of your hands.
