  2. Warning: Use Only As Directed

OK, since we hardly ever update around here these days, maybe this will slip by and no one will notice. Maybe not.

Anyway, this has to be about the strangest Halo reference we've ever seen. And before anybody complains, the text and images in this story we're about to link to are of a decidedly sexual, some might say odd-- nature. So be forewarned.

Game Girl Advance ran a story last October on a Japanese game called Rez for the PlayStation2, which ships with a peripheral called a trance vibrator . Lord knows how this escaped our notice til now.

And yes, that means exactly what you think it does. Pervert. And if you weren't thinking that, you're probably too young to be reading the story anyway. Whatever you do, don't ask your parents what it means and then mention we told you about it. That would be bad.

At any rate, the Halo reference comes in here (pun intended):

Now, let me confess that this is not the first time that I've used a game component to, er, stimulate myself physically. Ever since they invented the whole rumble pack/vibrating technology in controllers, it's been on my mind, and sometimes in my practice (fellow game girls, you know what I'm talking about). The thing is, though, it's often frustrating since the vibrations are not nice and steady, but sporadic. Also I found it's tough to actually play the game and use the controller in nasty ways at the same time. I did discover that Halo was a pretty good game for this (although for not much else), because as the gunner in the Warthog, you have unlimited ammo and you can just park yourself somewhere and rat-tat-tat to your heart's content. Another issue, and one not solved by the Xbox controller, is the shape of the device - less than ideal.

Unless somebody can do better than that, I vote this the strangest use for a Warthog ever. Randy Glass, move over.

Thanks to Mikey-San for pointing this out on RHL.

Rez is a cool game. No comment on the vibrations.

Have you tried the "Controller S"? My girlfriend says its very good, much better than the awkward shape of the traditional XBOX controller.
