    Truly genius; this’ll encourage people to launch their $100 device at everything and I’m certain will end up in countless “why doesn’t my controller work anymore” posts 😂

    Interestingly, it has no mouth.

      And yet, it must scream.

      Supposedly Big Picture has to be open, but I can’t test it as I do not have one.

    Man, this looks so ergonomically frustrating. I hated the first one, too.

    My wife is getting sick of me talking about the Wilhelm scream and how it’s time for it to die.

    Real glad I didn’t pick one of these up now.

        Yes, judge me from my opinion on one thing I’m passionate about. You got me. I’m the Ted Bundy of parties

          Well, to be fair, people don’t generally have such strong negative reactions to innocuous things. And when they do, they usually have them for more than just one thing.

      Strictly speaking, you’re really glad that you didn’t drop one of them.

      Unless it’s baked into non-rewriteable ROMs, I imagine that someone might come up with a way to stick whatever scream you want into the thing.

        Honestly I’m surprised that isn’t a customization option from the start. Change it to be GLADOS or Wheatly or something complaining about being tossed around

          “Because I’m a potato controller!”

          • GlaDOS (probably)

      It might have been funny at once time but the Wilhelm scream was already stupid and overdone decades ago.
