I pity the poor souls who paid full price for this thing when it was originally released :-)

2016-08-02 22:59:01 +0000 UTCPool is a freaking sexual game when it comes down to it, so that's not too surprising

2016-06-08 05:18:33 +0000 UTC...now that sounds like a challenge
LGR
2016-06-08 05:18:01 +0000 UTCIt was the only thing I could think of after that :D
LGR
2016-06-08 05:17:52 +0000 UTCAnd thanks for the support!
LGR
2016-06-08 05:17:25 +0000 UTCWith most of my videos ;)

2016-06-08 05:17:15 +0000 UTCFreud would have a field day with this video.

2016-06-02 03:26:16 +0000 UTC"8-ball into the corner pocket of HELL!" - LGR, 2016 Your faces were priceless in this video. I lol-ed when you knocked over your CompUSA sign with that unwieldy stick thing that's supposed to be a pool cue. And I'm sorry, I have to say it, but my god, moving that stick on that "mouse" looks so freaking sexual and makes the pool cue look even more phallic. >.> I can't unsee it and I will burn that image into everyone's brains... MUHAHAHA :D

2016-06-01 21:06:00 +0000 UTCDoom seemed more pertinent to me, seeing as the name "Doom" itself was derived from the phrase in The Color of Money, which involved a pool cue ;)
LGR
2016-06-01 20:04:28 +0000 UTCThat fake cue/police baton is the worst, haha. I didn't show it exactly, but it's even bent in the middle from the low build quality!
LGR
2016-06-01 20:03:52 +0000 UTCThanks! And yeah, a one time thing is about all it's gonna get :D
LGR
2016-06-01 20:01:41 +0000 UTCThat's true, there's nothing except that back and forth motion of the pool cue itself! No way to hit the cue ball in a different spot or anything.
LGR
2016-06-01 20:01:31 +0000 UTCClassic game! And both names derived from the same "pool shark" term, yep :)
LGR
2016-06-01 20:00:55 +0000 UTCALL the things, it seems
LGR
2016-06-01 19:59:39 +0000 UTCThat's a good point, there were only so many pool games compared to other sports! But then, they did have plans for the other sports too. Pool is just an odd starting point, haha

2016-06-01 19:59:33 +0000 UTCAww... you didn't play Duke Nukem with it!

2016-06-01 14:28:04 +0000 UTCGosh, that really is an odd one. I'm not even sure what possessed them to make such a controller in the first place - let alone going for such a terrible fake cue to hit it with. And that Doom playing? Priceless.

2016-06-01 10:29:42 +0000 UTCI can see this being used as a one time thing. Nice review as always.

2016-06-01 10:15:23 +0000 UTCThe worst part is that because of the oversimplification of the design, it completely fails at emulating WHY you would even want to hold a pool cue, as there's a lot of intricacies to it in order to get the ball to behave in various ways when it strikes things. :P

2016-06-01 04:50:33 +0000 UTCThe name of the controller reminds me of Sharkey's 3D Pool :) <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/sharkeys-3d-pool" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/sharkeys-3d-pool</a>

2016-06-01 04:19:55 +0000 UTCPool Cues, is there anything they can't do? As it turns out, yes, lot of things.

2016-06-01 03:41:26 +0000 UTCAh InterAct, one of the Kings of 3rd party controllers. However, I question the reasoning behind a pool cue controller. It's not like pinball where there were a ton of pinball games on PC and console. I can only recall a handful of pool games. Besides, why I would use a pool cue? I suck at pool. :P Duke Nukem: I ought to break this pool cue off in your ass.
