Why $100 for something that I could make myself in a couple hours with about $0.50 worth of copper? Is a remote control worth that much?

Is there anything to this that makes it more complicated than just shorting a couple of wires together?

I think it's referring to a South Park episode featuring Chinpokomon. (see 'gotta-catch-em-all in the URL?)

Good force feedback should be sublime. The user shouldn't notice it exists, because it's so seamless. The best example I can think of is the space jump in Metroid Prime. It probably took me like two hours of play after getting it to realize there was an extra 'whoosh' on the second jump, but not because it was weak. It was because it felt so right I didn't even notice it was happening.

Good special effects don't look like special effects, they look real, and that's what makes them great.

That being said, I'll miss force feedback for PS3. You don't realize how important it is until it isn't there (think Rez).
