I can't play games using a mouse because I use a mouse for 8-10 hours a day at work. Another 2-3 hours at home and I get really bad RSI. Using a console controller doesn't cause a problem. Must use different tendons or something. I thought about getting a console style controller for the PC but I doubted that many games would support it properly. HL2 is one hell of a game though. I do appreciate it is hardly news to a PC gamer though...given that it came out a year or two ago on the PC. I’ve got one word for you: RSI!

Also, shame on you for playing Orange Box on the 360. Even my laptop can run the Source-Engine games, and HL2 and consorts are just so much more fun with a proper input system.
