Joytech announce Control Center 54C

A couple of fresh pictures have arrived showing Joytech's all-new control centre which is nicely styled in curvy plastic to perfectly compliment your Xbox 360.

The control centre is specially designed for those of you with lots of plugs but not enough input sockets on your display equipment. It comes equipped with a plethora of little sockety shaped things where you can plug in all your various games consoles and DVD players via its various techy sounding sockety names. Then - like magic - using smoke, mirrors and secret forces that only Siegfried & Roy could understand output them via one cable to your telly box. Like wowser man! That's just what you need! Isn't it?

i got a RCA one from wal-mart ($crew you wal mart) for $20 it has 3 component ins, plus s-video and vga, only thing is that you have to physically get off the couch walk to it and push a button that switches between video sources and it doesn't have a router, but it works great and is a cheapy!

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake21h ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga16h ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx18h ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga11h ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H914h ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow66616h ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens5215h ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

Christopher14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens5212h ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner10h ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

Nerdmaster1d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot18h ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster6h ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned17h ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H914h ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq117h ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster6h ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
