How do you hold your gaming controller? Four fingers on all the buttons or just two?

What is that sorcery?


Just two, anything else is uncivilized.

What does that look like?

I do three for some reason. Two on my right and one finger on my left.

Re: Off Topic 2014

It depends on what I'm playing. But now that I'm thinking about it, most of the time I do four. Index fingers for L1 and R1, middle fingers for L2 and R2. Thumbs for face buttons and movement.

Except Piou Piou is really boring and Flappy Birds isn't quite a rip-off of it.

You can hit the cacti in Piou Piou. The goal is to not get trapped between a cactus and the left side of the screen.

Saying either of those games could sue Flappy Birds is like saying RockStar can sue Deep Silver/Spike Chunsoft for Sain't Row being "basically GTA."

Re: Off Topic 2014

Four fingers would be best (trigger fingers here, people), but I can't do it. I've tried, but I always go back to two fingers and just shift my index fingers over.

Re: Off Topic 2014

There is an iPhone on eBay with FlappyBirds installed going for an obscene amount:

WTF. What am I missing here...

I feel like this is the prototype way to use the controllers

But I always end up using it this way. My middle fingers are a no go on the L2 and R2 buttons.

My roommate introduced me to Ironpants last night. It's basically Flappy Bird but way ****ing harder. Ugh.

This is hands down the worst time of the year as far as Sports are concerned.

The thumbs on the face buttons/joystick and then the pointers on the LT/LB and RT/RB.

It's still not terrible, provided you like basketball. Still games on every night. And soccer is starting to really heat up.

Right thumb controls the face buttons and right analog stick
Left thumb controls the left analog stick and D-pad
Index fingers control R1/2 and L1/2.
Sometimes when playing racing games where R2 is the throttle I'll bring my right middle finger up to use R2 just to spell my index finger for a bit otherwise my middle fingers rest in the bottom of the groove on the underside of the controller while my ring and little fingers are around the grips.

I agree.

I like the Olympics, but they don't heat up for another week. And I'd rather be watching the Flyers. Well, I'd tune in to a USA hockey game over a regular season Flyers game, but that's only because its more rare.

Basketball ... Meh. Even my interest for March Madness has waned significantly, and it's not even March Madness time.

I've found myself yearning for baseball. I'm digging this snow we've been getting, but I can't wait for the magic of spring and early season baseball. It has this aura that no other sport does, and I'd rate baseball as my 3rd favorite sport behind hockey and football.

They should push football back a month. I think it would help all 3 other sports as they conclude or begin their season. And fill in this dead time, whilst having the Super Bowl be a late February, early March event so as only to supersede spring training.

I suppose it would interfere with the Daytona 500, and I know it's extremely, understatedly popular, but it's just not on my radar.
