Time reveals all Lies. Truth outlasts even Death.

Master of the truth, there is no puzzle I cannot solve. Challenges of thought are the purest, the challenges of skill the most basic, the challenges of both the most realistic.

I prefer single player games with an action/adventure/puzzle or Rhythm focus. Growing up on Nintendo put Zelda as the forerunner for suiting my tastes, until I stumbled into Half Life. My current favorite games are Half Life 2 (series), Psychonauts, Elite Beat Agents(and Ouendan), Rhythm Heaven, Dance Dance Revolution (and In the Groove), Baldur's Gate 2 (with Baldur's Gate TUTU and fanmods), Shadows of the Collosus, Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Metroid Prime Trilogy(once it comes out)

HL2:e1 was my first intoduction to the Half Life series, and prompted me to purchase Half Life for its 10th anneversary sale price of $1. I then purchase Blue Shift, Opposing Force, and finally Orange Box.

I hate keyboards for games. I hate joysticks(analog sticks) for aiming. How do I play an FPS when the choice is Dual Analog or Mouse&Keyboard?
Simple: I use neither and both. I play using a 5 button mouse and a PS2 Dual Shock controller plugged into my PC. This setup has worked for me flawlessly in Portal, Half Life, Half Life 2, Psychonauts, Tomb Raider, and Theif. I use the mouse, which is superior for aiming, and the analog stick, which is superior for movement.

I also love good mods. I have played and completed(without help, and typically using the above mentioned control style) over 40 different mod and map packs, for both the Source and GoldSource Engine, listed below:

Forward Motion(HL2map), Balcony(HL2map), So much for Freeman(HL2map), Lake 17(Ep1map), Agglutinaatio (Ep2map), Ghost in the Machine (Ep2map), Phantom of Mars (Ep2map), Affinity(Portalmap), Weighted Companion Cube(Portalmap), Love Glados(Portalmap), Underground Story(Portalmap), Flash Version(Portalmap), Awakening, Chronoport, The Citizen, Curse Ep1, Dangerous World Demo, Dawn, Decay, Deliverance, Dreamball, Eclipse, Edge of Darkness, Eye of the Storm, HL2:Riot Act, HL:Zombie Edition, Intrusion, Minerva:Metastasis, Offshore, Operation:Nova, Perfect Stride Continuum, Poke646, Poke646:Vendetta, Portal:Prelude, Point of View, Powerstation 17, Project 25, Radiator 1-2, Redemption, Research & Development, Rock 24, Smart Decoy, Someplace Else, Sweet Half Life, They Hunger Trilogy, The Trap, USS Darkstar

To Play:
Mission Improbable, Drowned World, Slums2, Mission to Mars, Random Quest, Calamity

My favorite mods are puzzle oriented like The Trap, Research and Development, and the Portal mods and map packs. If anyone can recommend something good that I haven't played already, please let me know.

It was never made for Gaming

The keyboard was designed to allow you to type, not game. Gaming on a computer was never even conceived when the keyboard layout was designed. Heck, even COMPUTERS weren't conceived when the keyboard layout was designed. It's an archaic layout that hasn't been changed since Manual Typewriters were first standardized.

Just because it's a PC game doesn't mean you should have to use a keyboard to play. It's uncomfortable to use and completely devoid of ergenomics. Left hand mouse users can also benefit from using a reversable gamepad.

This group is dedicated to finding games that can be played just as well or better without the Keyboard, either by using the mouse by itself, a gamepad, or a gamepad and mouse together, and then playing them that way. It would be great if we could petition Developers to include support for gamepads (or gamepad and mouse combinations for games that require aiming or pointing) but the group would have to be a lot bigger before it could be taken seriously.

FPS have long been held up as proof of KB+mouse controlls over gamepad, but the advantage the keyboard gives is only in quantity of buttons for macros, the mouse is where the primary advantage in control stems from. 90% of the time, the keyboard buttons can be mapped to a controller for a more natural and comfortable playstyle, or could be if the developers offered support for mapping keybindings to a controller instead of only to a keyboard.


KILL YOUR KEYBOARD ON THESE GAMES!

GAMEPAD ONLY:
Braid, Cave Story, Everyday Shooter, Gish, Mr. Robot, Saints Row 2, Stepmania, & Trackmania Nations

MOUSE ONLY:
Audiosurf, Crayon Physics, Fl0w, The Path, & World of Goo

GAMEPAD+MOUSE:
Half Life, HL: Blue Shift, HL: Opposing Force, Half Life 2, HL2:Episode 1, HL2: Episode 2, Portal, Psychonauts, Team Fortress 2(almost), Theif: Deadly Shadows, Tomb Raider Anneversary, Tomb Raider Legend, & nearly any Source or Gold Source Mod.

This list is always growing with each new or old game that is found to not need the keyboard to play. Do you have another good game that you know doesn't need a keyboard to enjoy? Join up and let me know what it is and how to set it up for use without the keyboard.
