Over the weekend we had some friends over to really try the four-player game. We learned a lot and the to-do list grew accordingly. Here are some pictures:
Note the crazy cyberpunk nightmare on the right… the Tablet PC is what CC was running on, but it only has two USB ports, and we had no standalone USB hub, so we had to use the built-in one in that bottom monitor, along with a PS2 PC adapter (which allow two Dual Shocks to connect through a single USB port). This way we managed to get two wired Xbox 360 controllers, and two PS2 Dual Shock controllers going on the same laptop.
The great news related to this is that Microsoft has finally released their new wireless PC adapter for its regular wireless controllers that come with the Xbox 360!
With this, you just have to plug it into a single USB port on any windows machine, and suddenly you can connect up to four wireless Xbox 360 controllers, for the perfect Cortex Command multiplayer setup! I wish we had one this weekend; it would have made half of that mess to the right disappear. Alas, our orders from Amazon didn’t arrive in time.
Finally, here are a couple of short videos from the weekend. The first is from our local test at Data Realms HQ, and the other is from our tester Nate Sabanski and his friends’ LAN party up in Canada. Good times!

I’m thinking about keeping the to-do list somewhere online for all to see, but haven’t set it up yet. Maybe allow for voting on items etc too, like the wordpress guys:

The TV was too bright. I suggest that you record directly from the TV (if possible(I don’t even know how to do it)) Then it would be easier to see.
MUST GET VEHICLES…………………..DATA!!!!!!!
