I am absolutely **terrible** at controlling FPS games on a keyboard/mouse scheme.

Goldeneye and Perfect Dark one-player mode had the best FPS control setup ever: two analog sticks, one in each hand. Oh my, that was delicious. It doesn’t compare to having two analog sticks on one controller ala Halo.

Since I know very little about _video_ games, all I would like to say is how much reading this thread made me wish I could afford a new PC so I could get Neverwinter Nights and play Diablo again.
