Trigger Happy: A Visual Celebration of Video Game Controllers ist ein farbenfroher, visueller Streifzug durch die Welt der Game-Controller – ihre Gestaltung, ihre Geschichte und ihre erstaunliche Fähigkeit, zu verändern, wer wir sind und was wir können. Das Ganze wird mit 560 beeindruckenden Fotos illustriert.

Videospiel-Controller sind weit mehr als nur Peripheriegeräte. Sie sind unsere physische Verbindung zu digitalen Welten – Werkzeuge, mit denen wir die Fantasien ausleben, die Spiele uns bieten. Mit ihnen schwingen wir Schwerter, umkreisen Feinde, ballern den Strafraum voll, bauen Städte, hacken und schlagen, boxen und kontern, springen über Abgründe, steuern Fahrzeuge und vieles mehr.

Auf 396 Seiten schaut Trigger Happy: A Visual Celebration of Video Game Controllers auf die Joysticks, mit denen alles begann, zahlreiche klassische Gamepads, prägende Innovationen, ikonische Kuriositäten und alles dazwischen.

Das Buch wurde von dem langjährigen Spielejournalisten Steve Jarratt und dem Gaming-Experten und Fotografen Christian Wenk gemeinsam verfasst. Trigger Happy porträtiert 200 bemerkenswerte Geräte aus Wenks persönlicher Sammlung. Das Buch ist um die eigens für Trigger Happy aufgenommenen Fotos herum aufgebaut und wird so zu einer luxuriösen Hommage an einige der bekanntesten Gadgets der Welt.

Im Inneren finden sich spannende Details zu jedem Controller sowie Anekdoten und persönliche Erinnerungen einflussreicher Persönlichkeiten der Games-Szene, darunter Electronic-Arts-Gründer Trip Hawkins, James Rolfe (aka Angry Video Game Nerd), Rare-Designer und Sprecher Kevin Bayliss und DOOM-Schöpfer John Romero. Im Einband steckt zudem ein spezielles Fach, in dem fünf hochwertige, vollfarbige Kunstdrucke mit einigen der berühmtesten Controller der Spielewelt sorgfältig untergebracht sind.

Zu den gezeigten Geräten zählen unter anderem die beliebten Atari-Joysticks CX40 und Competition Pro, die Standardpads von Konsolen wie NEOGEO, PC Engine und PlayStation, moderne Neuinterpretationen geschätzter Controller wie dem Pad der Amiga CD32 sowie unwiderstehlich skurrile Sonderlinge wie der Dragon Quest Slime Controller, das Seaman-Joypad und die berüchtigte Resident-Evil-Kettensäge.

Wie jedes Buch von Bitmap Books ist auch Trigger Happy sorgfältig und klar gestaltet, auf höchstem Niveau gedruckt und voll mit großartigem Games-Journalismus und fundierter Analyse.

Ein Muss für Sammler, Fans der Videospielgeschichte und Liebhaber von Produktdesign. Hol dir dein Exemplar von Trigger Happy: A Visual Celebration of Video Game Controllers und du hast Geschichte, Vermächtnis, Design, Schönheit und Story hunderter Game-Controller direkt zur Hand – für die Momente, in denen du gerade keine Knöpfe drückst und keine Sticks bewegst.

Mit Zitaten, Einblicken und Anekdoten von:
Allister Brimble, Damien McFerran, James Mielke, James Rolfe (AVGN), James Wragg, John Riggs, John Romero, Justin Silverman, Kevin Bayliss, Kurt Kalata, Perry Rodgers, Phil South, Richard Moss, Stoo Cambridge, Trip Hawkins und Yukiyoshi Asai.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.
