I saw the future of video games the other day.
There I was, eating stale pizza and drinking warm soda at a Microsoft promotional event being held at my college, when I saw a nondescript computer science student walking by the rows of dazed Halo players. No one else seemed to take notice of the huge, almost impossible controller in his hands, but I recognized it immediately as the exclusive two-joystick, 27-button, three-pedal interface for Steel Battalion.
