Xanthan asked whether you could configure Ventrilo to use one of the Xbox 360 Controller buttons for the push-to-talk hotkey. He also mentioned a wireless adapter for Windows, which I hadn’t heard of, but sounds way cool if true! To answer the question: Yep. This is on Windows, natch. From the Ventrilo Setup page, tick [...]

I wasn’t even going to download the demo, because I’d mentally associated it with the grimy Just Cause. I’m glad I got past that, because it’s a fast-moving, fun game so far.
