Does anyone else have one of those computers with keyboards that won't allow more than 2 buttons to be pressed simultaneously? Makes diagonal shooting difficult. Just wondering.

Thanks Ricky. I'm just about to read that info now.
Unfortunately I have a laptop so I can't change it easily. Even more unfortunately, it's a Sony VAIO, so I'm guessing that a lot more people will have the same problem. Something to keep in mind when you're developing games, I guess.

Wow, that must make playing virtually any sort of video game a real pain in the neck. Specifically FPS or anything with a lot of hot keys like Supreme Commander. Don't even get me started on editing. Only two keys? I mean I know 3 keys is only 1 extra, but it makes all the difference it would seem.

A Sony VAIO? I was under the impression that Sony laptops were high-quality. Only two keys at a time sounds cheapo beepo.
I once used a computer that wouldn't even let you use two arrow keys at the same time. I believe it was right and down. It would beep the internal speaker if you tried.

You could buy an USB keyboard. Or better yet an actual joypad 
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
Make some more box arts damnit!
