D-Pad: You used to be cool.
Danger Shark | 3:19 PM on 10.03.2007 12 comments


Still recovering from spending the past six months in a suitcase, I was unable to find my headset until last night, so my Halocizing has been fairly muted to say the least. After tackling my storage locker and finally recovering this sacred earpiece I quickly logged on to XBL, eager to hear preteens discuss what they were going to do to my mother later that evening. What happened afterwards was both shocking, and disturbing. I believe you know what I'm talking about... the D Pad... What in the tender loving fuck is that? (you should know, I only bring out "tender loving fuck" in extreme circumstances) How on earth does Bungie expect me to have the coordination to feed my nicotine addiction, dual wield those lovely SMG's, and T-Bag fallen foes all while reaching down to hit the D-Pad every time I want to tell said preteens exactly what I was going to do to their mothers afterwards? Can't relate? How about those times where you achieve something totally rad, and you blurt out the first blazing one liner that comes to your mind, only to realise that you forgot to hit the D-Pad, and your majesty has fallen on deaf ears? Is there a way to counter this? No one I've played with has been able to. You've done me wrong Bungie, so very wrong.

Mine's worked as soon as I begin speaking, I've yet to use the D-Pad push-to-talk thing.

I'm going to press ahead tonight and get those last 3 matchmaking games done so I can get out of Basic Training. Jesus I'm sick of that forest level...

EVERYONE of my basic training matches has been on that damn map for some reason.

lol FrozenSpaceMonkey has been talking to himself

It also works if you're near someone, so you don't have to press the d-pad (only if you're near them)

Last night was fun, I'll kill bitches with you anytime Hamsatoid. Now, if there were only a solution, let's say a "final solution" to the D-Pad problem... Maybe?

you dont like being harrassed online but you will dishout a verbal raping should the chance present itself?

stop being such a giant twat and accept the fact that trash talkin prepubescent children will be the part of games that are geared towards them anyway

@Snaileb

that explains it...I was confused about that part, I've only played a couple online matches other than co-op where my buddies are usually close by

I wasn't complaining about it, I was just mentioning that it happens, and that's usually what the headset it used for. Also, I'm more of an asshole than a twat.
