Good news for the PlayStation nation. It seems like the Dualshock 4 controller designed for the PlayStation 4 works with the PlayStation 3 console too. YouTuber Udetto, who writes for German gaming site Computer Bild Spiele, discovered the backwards compatibility while fiddling with a debug version of the PlayStation 4.

There is a catch however. Udetto says the controller will only work with the PS3 if it’s plugged in to the console via USB, which means that it won’t work with PS3 games that require you to play wirelessly. I don’t know of any game that has that requirement, but apparently FIFA 14 is one of those games. That’s really odd. Does that mean you can’t charge a PS3 controller and play FIFA 14 at the same time?

We should remember that Udetto’s discovery was with a prototype controller, and despite his positive findings it’s possible that the controller won’t work with many PS3 games. But since we can buy the controller without shelling out for the entire PS4, here’s hoping Sony can make this backwards compatibility official.

Word’s been floating around the blogosphere lately that in Brazil, you’re probably not going to be buying yourself a PS4 unless you’re fabulously wealthy. For some odd reason, although Sony’s console only costs about $400 here, it’s retailing for almost two grand there. Wait, what?

Too often the characters on our favorite TV shows are able to hit the reset button on their lives. Stuck in a bind of complex plot lines, they head to the safe or call the guy who knows a guy to request “vacuum cleaner repair,” and bam! They are set up with an entirely new life.

Brody was able to flee from both the country and his terrorist status on “Homeland. On “Breaking Bad,” Walt buried his identity as Albuquerque’s most wanted man in the snowy hills of New Hampshire. Queen of “Scandal” Olivia Pope was able to invent Quinn in place of the poor girl framed for the Cytron explosion.

Brian Camenker, President of right-wing organization MassResistance, sat down with Mission America’s Linda Harvey last weekend to discuss a recent article he published regarding athletes and gay rights activism in Russia.

The “exclusive” report claims that “homosexual activists in the U.S. are working with media groups, ‘out LGBT athletes’ and both the U.S. and Canadian Olympic hockey teams in a secret plan to smuggle rainbow flags, homosexual propaganda, etc. into Russia.”

And Camenker is not having it.
