Was the two finger salute the default hand setup for that MGS game?

What's mad max like, I'm kinda interested (when I eventually gets me a PS4)

Haha nah that was done by me haha. I actually bought Mad Max for my nephew, so I'll be able to play it in a week when I see him, I'm also interested to see how it is.

Good not great, think Shadow of Mordor. Horribly repetitive but worth getting it on the cheap. Needs actual aussie voices. Good PC version.

I've been all across Brisbane cbd and I'm yet to glimpse a single stand alone infinity Boba Fett. Is he available in store yet?

Only in the PS4 special edition and the PS4 console bundle, he will probably be available to purchase separately at Christmas time.

I love the Power Glove! It's so Bad. Everything Else is Child's Play!
Well, at first it wasn't so easy..I discovered the hard way that the NTSC (US) Power Glove does not work with Australian consoles due to a voltage difference in the controller port. When I first plugged it in, I saw that all the sensor lights lit up solid when they should be blinking based on Glove position/action ..DOH!

At first I thought the Power Glove or Ultra Sonic sensors were busted but then I did a bit of research and read that NTSC NES controllers cannot be used with PAL consoles due to a slight voltage difference in the console ports. I am not one to give up so I continued looking and figured this would be what's happening with the Power Glove since ast it's core, it is just a fancy controller.

I saw that there was a simple mod to convert NTSC controllers to PAL so I decided to apply the mod on the Power Glove using 3.6k resistors from JayCar (50c for 8). The Power Glove does not directly connect to the NES but the Sensors do through a controller box - That's where the NES plug is so I applied the Mod there. It took some trial and error since it is different to a standard NES controller board and it worked!

..Welll as good as a Power Glove can

There might be something to the glove after all. It seems that it's not that it doesn't work but that you need to make sure the microphone sensors are properly placed and more importantly, you need to extensively train yourself to use it.

There is this Asian guy on Youtube who plays SMBros like a pro using the glove.

So does anyone else here play the Forza series on Xbox One? I have a design for the Lamborghini Countach that I made in FM5 that's based on MP Sideswipe and I've just imported it to the FM6 community. I'd appreciate it if you guys raced with my design in either game. As it says in my sig my Gamertag's DELTAprime so look for that when your looking at the designs for the Countach.

You have just answered a question that has plagued me for almost 20 years! I had a chance to buy the glove as a kid when I was in LA but instead bought a Lego castle. I regretted it as soon as I got home but you have just made me instantly be grateful to my 10 year old self haha.
