I like to think that I'm good at Doom... I've only been playing it for about
two weeks. I'm amazing at Wolfenstein. I've used a mouse. My best friend has
a trackball and I think it sucks. Your fingers aren't always on two buttons
with his trackball (it's built into his keyboard) so you can't do as many
action combos as you can with a mouse. I've never played with a joystick, and
I imagine a game pad would really suck.
