Yeah, I was thinking omnutia's answer was a little weird, assuming you'd have a PS2 controller.
I'd guess the majorityabout half of video gamer Geeks have at least one PS2 controller.
FTFY. We're not all video gamers. Many geeks are into other things, and even for the gamers there are other platforms that are good for gaming, so I think maybe that's not such a great guess.
Funfetus, if you ask me you don't really need a controller. Mouse+keyboard was good enough when I played the demo a while back.
The thing with Psychonauts, though, is that later on it has some really tricky platforming bits- especially in the last two worlds- that I can't imagine attempting without a controller. Hell, even with a PS2 controller I had a lot of trouble.
Of course, I don't PC game very often, so my skills with a keyboard and mouse are abysmal... but I still think it might be easier with a gamepad rather than with the keyboard.
I picked up the game too, I've got a Logitech gamepad, but it's only got a D-pad and not a thumbstick. Is that good enough?
I have a Logitech Precision gamepad with just a D-pad, and I thought it didn't work when I tried it yesterday, but I just tried it again, and apparently it does. I'm thinking this is a game where you want an analog stick, though.

Yeah, like I said before, it's been okay so far -- but my understanding is that it gets hard, and the mouse/keyboard is a bit awkward. I looked up some reviews, and they all recommended using a 360 controller. Either way, I went ahead and ordered one.

Oh please. Anyone who isn't finishing Firefly at any given moment is doing it wrong.
HOW ABOUT STARTING? NOW WHAT?

I never really got the controller-for-platforming. I've always been fine with mouse+keyboard on the PC.

Yeah, that's the same gamepad I have. I just couldn't really test it out because my PC is borked. I have a friend who beat the game with 100% completion with a mouse and keyboard, so who knows. It's probably just whichever you're more comfortable with.
Ah, but if you're starting, you're also finishing.
You cannot start and finish at the same time. When you're starting you cannot be finishing. After you've started you can finish though, I do recognize that.
I live in a third world country so hulu doesn't work
Is Costa Rica a 3rd World Country? Sure it's not as rich as some other countries but it has decent infrastructure and civil systems from what I can tell. Kids are vaccinated, the water is mostly good, etc.

It is a second tier country on the UN's HDI, so not really a 3rd world country.

Not United States = third world*

This.
We actually have better literacy ratings that the US (Wikipedia states:Many high-income countries, having attained high levels of literacy, no longer collect basic literacy statistics and thus are not included in the UIS data. In calculating the Human Development Index (HDI), a literacy rate of 99.0% is assumed for high-income countries that do not report adult literacy information. As far as I knew, we had, but now I can't really be sure.) and wider spread of health care, our doctors are really good to the point that a lot of tourism is medical tourism.

You make those of us who are geeks but not really into video games feel bad. ;_;
Also, I love Department of Eagles.

pic unrelated, but amusing.
EDIT: Goddamn that site is annoying.
