BaD #3: Late, but not too BaD..

I missed yesterday's BaD entry, so I'll make up for it today.  

I wanted to touch a small piece on the functionality of the Dualshock 4's light and how I've seen it at work.

The light in the front of the controller lights up different colors at different times, though I've yet to divine exactly why.  It's undeniably cool, though.  Also, today when I was playing Transistor, I noticed that the light syncs up perfectly with the vocals of the Transistor sword.  Not exactly a system-selling feature, but it made me smile, nonetheless.  

It would've been pretty cool if it would've turned red or another cautionary color whenever an enemy spots you in Far Cry 4.  Maybe in the future?

yeah i never understood the point of that light either, but I've never had a PS4 in front of me either.  Sounds cool.  

Damn, you missed a BaD.  You're BaD!  Laughing

haha. I'll do my best to make it up to the community.  I'm nowhere near as creative as I once was, as can be exhibited by my cop-out blog The Weekender

But I really enjoy The Weekender!

The Weekender is definitely a GameInformer Weekend Warrior rip-off.  However, with the addition of Watching, Reading, and especially Eating...I think we here at PixlBit have far surpassed that column.

Plus, GameInformer sucks.

Awe, I used to love GI. . . but. . . it does suck now.

Maybe the controller has a secret Tomagotchi game inside of it and the red light means your pet is dying.

That'd be pretty Japanese. I've yet to see a red light though.

I'm looking forward to playing Transistor. Still waiting for my PS4 to arrive in the mail though...

That would be a cool feature... Good idea. I'm all for immersive features not on the screen.
