TILTING THE CONTROLLER

It totally did! Until they added all those motion controls… that just screwed everything up.

    Just goes to show that NOOBtendo is only catering to kids nowadays. Back in my day you had to tilt the shit out of your controller to help you get around those tight corners but with the Wii-mote everything is on easy mode! Anyone can move their hands, I moved my whole body!

  2. Brocken on May 28th, 2011 4:36 am

    I have been raging about this phenomena since I was five years old. You see, I went to a daycare center when I was a kid, and they had an SNES with a bunch of games, one of which was Super Mario World. EVERY GODDAMN KID pulled this shit when they jumped. Thanks for bringing up bad memories, Shawn.

    and now it does! Freak'n motion controls, ruining my video games!

  4. Dimomarg on May 28th, 2011 5:37 am

    motion controls. because tilting the controller till you fall of your chair NEEDS to work.

    Another Myth Busted: Agent Smith tilts the controller while playing.

  7. Gamerofloz on May 28th, 2011 6:21 am

    Motion controls did ruin everything.

    *The following is me playing Mario Kart Wii on Rainbow Road*
    Time to take this corner, tilt the controler, tilt it some more *Leans far* *motion controls spaz out and it registers as if I'm turning the other way*
    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ANGLING YOUR HEAD SLIGHTLY WHILE LEANING TOWARD TV.

    You KNOW you can see around that corner.

  10. therandombear on May 28th, 2011 6:59 am

    But of course, how else are you going to look around the corner, use the camera stick?
    Please

    I think it's a law or something…ya pretty sure it's a law.

  12. Toldry on May 28th, 2011 7:51 am

    I didn't just tilt the controlled, I actually moved it from side to side.

    Mario Kart made me smash my N64 controller on the wall so goddamn much

  13. DTurboKiller on May 28th, 2011 8:16 am

    Funny, I tilted my head around, not the controller, though sometimes both. It feels just like leaning around them corners man!
    And let's not even mention the effect caused by massive explosions/crashing: the effect was so amazing I almost backflipped out of my chair and faceplanted.
    Too bad the chair itself didn't survive the awesomeness, either way it was 50€ well spent!

    That, and ramming buttons when you were waiting to respawn. It totally makes you come back faster.

  43. Mikau94 on May 28th, 2011 4:45 pm

    Tilting the controller hardly does anything, you need to tilt your head at the same time!

  45. Zyquux on May 28th, 2011 5:05 pm

    I can't believe that no has mentioned leaning to dodge bullets!
    (Unless someone has and I missed it, in which case, my apologies.)

    Before these newfangled "motion controls," we dodged bullets with the leaning of our bodies, callouses of our thumbs, and sweat of our brows!

    Granted, it actually works in this game.

    Don't worry, the Wii has made it so that those morons who tilted the controller during racing games can finally play correctly.

    Further tips include:
    1. Turning your hat backward.
    2. If you lack a hat, acquire a hat and designate it 'lucky'.
    3. Tell everyone else in the room to STFU.

    better question, who WASN'T I rarely tilted a controller before I got a wii and I was spazzing on that fight. the golgroth was an ass

  57. tmotom on May 28th, 2011 11:05 pm

    I hate tilting the controller. I don't like to because it makes me look like a chinese retard fag. I play normally ._. Unless of course it's the Nintendo 64 racing wheel. Because then, you already look like an idiot and moving around a bit wont really harm you any further.

  60. Lucas of Twinleaf on May 28th, 2011 11:45 pm

    Wait…WHAT!?
    Wow, you'd go that far?
    I don't mind music as long as it isn't mainstream (in the rare instance I like mainstream stuff is when it's of the genre I actually like and/or NOT a freaking love song)
    Yeah, you heard in those brackets right.
    Practically HALF THE RADIO IS A LOVE SONG, HALF THE RADIO IS A TALK SHOW
    and none of it is WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR
    and some consider it to be ALL CRAP on the radio
    Music really confounds me. I only know a lot of it because my sister is a freak for music (and is, unfortunately, a Beliber)

  66. Solid_Spy on May 29th, 2011 11:27 am

    Remember when you leaned towards the TV to help you see farther, only to find out that you forgot to zoom in, and even after doing so, you continued to lean towards the TV to see even farther and got that shot off to kill your target?

    Good times.

  67. sisseltheundeadcat on May 29th, 2011 2:30 pm

    I'd make a serious comment about how I do that too but if I'm not at least a little bit of a smart ass I'll get a ton of -1's.

  68. MagmarFire on May 29th, 2011 6:20 pm

    Tilting the controller? Pfft. Flicking the controller upwards to make you jump farther is where it's at.

  69. quaker171 on May 29th, 2011 7:40 pm

    The Wii did that to make you feel more "in" the game, not to aid people who use instincts. I don't think anybody would believe anything said by anyone with an e-peen such as yours. Tmotom is a different story, though. He has reformed himself. I am droning on now, so I'm just going to post this

  70. quaker171 on May 29th, 2011 7:42 pm

  72. quaker171 on May 29th, 2011 7:46 pm

    Dude, there are plenty of stations that are devoted to only certain types of music. Even the radio towers in Kanto and Johto play more than love songs and talk shows. You just gotta find what you want, and not expect it to find you.

    I can figure there's more than just love songs and talk shows in radio stations.
    I just think that those two categories/genres are taking up the majority of radio I hear in Australia nowadays.
    By the way, I was actually talking IRL…

    …damn you -1 people.
    Can't you give me a break? Sure I break out of character from time to time, but can't you allow for SOME REGULAR DISCUSSION!? (question is for all you people)
    …now that I say that, my E-Peen's going down. A lot.

  87. BTSnoogans on May 31st, 2011 11:35 am

    *another brofist and a +1* because classic rock rules. Modern music can bite my not so shiny, fleshy, ass.

  88. BTSnoogans on May 31st, 2011 11:40 am

    That's what they want you to think but when you find a classic rock station, what do you hear? The newest Nickelback song. Because apparently classic rock DJs think that that's classic rock. *facepalm* That's why I use my car's CD player an never turn on the radio.

  89. CriticalQuit on May 31st, 2011 11:55 am

    The one thing I don't like about being young is the lack of good music. Luckily I escape that by not caring about music. Score one for apathy. (Note: Apathy's score is unknown because everyone was too apathetic to keep track of it)

  92. PortalMan118 on June 11th, 2011 2:56 am

  93. TheHighscore on April 15th, 2012 11:03 pm

    I NEVER tilted the controller when I was younger. By the way, my "e-peen" is only like this because I accidentally posted "first" one time and now everyone hates me for it. There is no denying the fact that motion controls have made it easier for the people that absolutely HAD to turn the controller to play a freakin' racing game.

  94. Pupsrus13 on May 5th, 2012 8:44 am

    God I hated that boss. I fell out of my chair so many times.

    On the bright side, I don't mess up in flight simulators as often as I did before beating that boss.
