0:00.0 | This is a headgum podcast. |
0:04.0 | All right, look, Mad Cats team. |
0:10.0 | All right, look, Mad Cat's team, we need a new controller that's really going to shake up the marketplace. |
0:18.1 | You know, as software is increasingly gotten digital, hardware is where the money's at. So what can we do a new way to |
0:29.4 | control something? So it's something something unprecedented, a new input device for gaming. |
0:34.4 | I do think obviously the Nintendo Powerglove is flawed, but I do think that it's a concept worth revisiting with buttons on each |

1:41.0 | You can push it really hard to go fast, you can pull it a little bit, and it will slow down. |
1:45.7 | I just, I don't know what else, like, what other kind of metaphor to use for this controller that I am envisioning. |
