Re: How do you hold your controller?

That's hella weird

I hold mine normally...there are a few games where I'll hold my controller differently for certain things, but not for everyday gaming....

...Who was holding the camera....


I hold mine like your supposed to I guess.
I've tried "clawing" it but I couldn't really tap multiple buttons very efficiently...

Haha, they gave that a name? Don't I feel stupid. Well, I still want to see what other people's opinions are.

Re: How do you hold your controller?

Again, I hadn't known that, no need to try and make me feel more of a dumbass then I already feel.

And for the record, it didn't work.

I always been holding my controllers normally, I don't think clawing would be too easy on some of the classic consoles (NES) and I constantly go back to those. Thus I feel that normally if for me.
