Hey while you're here sprung, how does retro work?

You have to get voted in by other retros.

Also, I fixed the one (huge) gripe I had with ME2 on the PS3. On the 360, aim and shoot are the L and R triggers, and weapon selection and the Power Wheel are the shoulder buttons. On the PS3, L1 and R1 were aim and shoot, and L2 and R2 were weapons and powers...exactly opposite of what I've been used to forever. I was always pulling up the weapon select wheel when I wanted to shoot.

Today I found the "flip R1/R2, L1/L2" option under controller op's.

They must have figured on someone like me playing

So, they just start a poll in the retro forums whenever they think "hey this guy has been here a while and he's pretty cool, he should be a retro."?

That's kind of, hm, i want to say odd, but interesting is probably a better word.

It's appropriate, if you think about it.

Retro is a group, and the decision to add to the group rests on the group

On PC, you could have changed fire to L and aim to 3 if you wanted

I meant the no applications, invite only policy.

I always laugh at PC configs.

H for flashlight
W to reload
P for walk
X for inventory

...

Logic? That's F13

I know.

If it makes you feel any better, I've been here for 7 years and I haven't been voted in either.

Even so, I generally stay out of Retro and only occasionally post in vote threads.

It's usually a case of you not being popular with everybody, but the powers that be know that you can be trusted to do a job that's given to you.
