Heh. I know from experience that the controller on the PS3 is virtually 
unusable.

I'm usually not.

I don't have any AV software.

Same here. ;-)

That's worth having. (Ah, but how long to load an actual game? ;-)

My PC can output resolutions so high my monitor can't handle it. :-P

7 is the high whistle and 8 is the low whistle. (Notice how they mapped
