Yeay! Birthday! Woot!

Today, I got an X360 Wired Controller, which will allow me to do some proper XNA Developing, and play around using a proper controller, testing the game from the downstairs PC without having to run upstairs every 10 minutes, to test the thing on the Xbox.

Woot!



*sigh*

 		I bet their sales will skyrocket after correcting that.

 		Don't be daft!

..
They won't correct it.
They'll just restart it from scratch and break everything.

 		And you noticed 3 pixels....how?

 		It became really obvious when the pulsing larger blob didn't center itself, either, and instead left aligned itself with the unpulsed blob, causing that right hand 3-pixel-short gap to become an even-more-pixel-short gap..
Unfortunately, Printscreen didn't get the bigger blob..
Bah, humbug..

 		Why didn't they just use a normal progress bar?!

 		To be fair it's only 1 pixel out, cos if properly centred the difference on each side is 27 and 26.

 		To be fair, the scrolling message on the new National Lottery terminals is "only" 4 pixels out..
Still looks f'ing stupid having a 4 pixel gap on the left, and 4 pixels of the text missing on the right..

And they've updated the software..
TWICE..
And still not fixed it...

Programmers are getting lazy!

 		Yeah they probably are. But on a business standpoint, minor details like that aren't too important, even when customers complain about it. ...And, even if they did, it might not even make it out of the customer support department...
