    As for the GC controller it tends to be a love/hate thing

    For me it's the former. I know this might sound a bit freakish but sometimes when I catch a glimpse of it in me room and haven't got time to play, I just have to pick it up to get the feel of it.... (I'll be off now to see my psychiatrist, I shall return after several months of shock treatment :p )

    Xbox is the solution.Superior power.Top quality dvd playback.Modify everything via a mod chip and ethernet connection.install loads of 3rd party apps.stream divx from your pc and watch on your xbox etc... check xbox-scene.com

    lol done the same many times, best was the twin controller setting where you try to use both controllers at the same time....two controllers, two rumble packs and twin rpc 90's :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Was it actually possible to play the game like that? As much as I tried to do it I could never seem to get the hang of twin controller action.

    As I remember it, it wasn't too different from the keyboard and mouse set-up. It wasn't my first choice of controls, but it was playable.

    The real litmus test of any Goldeneye control scheme though was could you do Control on 00 with it. I doubt I could ever protect Natayla weilding duel controllers as cool/odd as that would make me look.

    it was more of a first few levels challenge than anything else, i cant say ive ever tried to complete it on 00 with both controllers, it as good fun all the same.....and when you got pissed off you had two controllers to throw at the screen :D

    I'd try it now but my second N64 controller has reached the stiff stick phase and is pretty much unusable. I've heard theres some solvent you can use to clean it but I'm not sure if I want to gunk it up even more.

    i opened mine and cleaned it out regulary, also wanted to see how it works....i open everything even when they are new....my playstation, video, ps2, phones, n64, all console accessories etc... anything that can be opened i open it, ive had a game cube with a week and im lookin for a screwdriver to buy suitable for opening it....my advice* open it clean it out, as long as your not clumsy or forget where things came out from you'll be ok......

    *taking my advise is not advisable and will more than likely end you up in trouble and i cannot be held accountable for your actions
