	[quote name="Arbit"][quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]Since (not coincidentally?) most popular PC games are exercises in pointing at things and clicking on them, yeah, I would have to agree with you. You've got your disembodied gun games about clicking on heads to make them explode like watermelons, your disembodied general games about clicking on little men and telling them to go over there, your disembodied trenchcoat games about dragging every item in your inventory onto every interactive hotspot on the screen until one of them solves a puzzle, and your <i>Diablo</i>-style Fantasy Adventure Games (which are basically disembodied general games, except your general has taken a liking to one little man in particular and started dressing him up and telling him when to drink things). For any game involving direct control of a human/car/plane/robot/abstract geometric shape, though, a mouse and keyboard is usually sub-optimal.[/quote] A pair of thumbsticks is better than a mouse and keyboard for control of a human being? On what basis do you make that assertion? Because you can argue that thumbsticks are closer to a steering wheel or flightstick than M&K, but either are about a billion miles away from actual control of a human being.[/quote]
