My younger sister, a hardcore Karter from N64 days, prefers the standard controller for the same reasons as #1 - but she approaches the game with the focus and reflexes of a surgeon.

For me, playing with the wheel is a blast and, the wheel interaction is a million times more forgiving than anything I've played on the PS3 with the sixaxis controller on games like Burnout or GTA where 5˚ of controller rotation seems to equal FULL STEERING LOCK so that I end up careening down the road, veering violently to the left and right in a series of never-ending steering corrections.

I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps that's also part of the training? Resistance to downward glances? :D

Amusing, but for a husband and wife who don't work together I don't think it's any more significant and revealing than me spending the day with a good friend who works somewhere else. If their 9-5 lives are that different trying to spend the time together is more of a one time inconvenience.

My wife and I work together in a live/work-based graphic design firm and over the last 4 years have probably spent 80% of that time within 80 feet of each other. We don't share bowls (unless the dishes are dirty and laziness drives us to it) and we do go out to run errands or go to appointments separately - but since our desks are right next to each other I'd say the majority of the time we're within 6'. Even that's not necessarily a new situation - "mom and pop" family stores have been around forever.

The one "discovery" they mentioned at the end that I thought was interesting and which does happen when you spend that much time with someone, was the fact that you don't have any of the "guess what happened to me today" stories. Without new outside experiences, I find that my wife and I tend to have the same types of discussions, but they usually start with "I was thinking today about (blank)..."

I think that two people, even spending all their time together, still have their own "worlds" of thoughts throughout the day. It seems like trying to share all of one's thoughts, as they happen throughout the day, would be closer to experimenting with sharing consciousness than just being within 15' of one another.

Taking your bike back to the shop to fix a flat is like taking your car back to the dealership to fill the tank.

These are both things you can figure out how to do on your own with minimal effort. :D

Looks like everyone's making the switch. A couple of weeks ago.. probably the same time, CamelBak switched their bottles away from BPA and over to Tritan too.

It certainly doesn't solve the poor security issue, but I'll often enter intentionally "incorrect" information - possibly to throw off would-be theives... but mostly to amuse myself.

Cities I've never visited listed as my birthplace, High Schools I've never attended, names of first loves that I've made up... When you have to create your own questions, choose a question with an answer that anyone could know (how many quarts in a pint) but then make up an unguessable answer (47.5)

Of course the danger is that you have to remember them yourself, and probably does little for actual security, but it is amusing...
