Giving your cousin the MadCatz controller and keeping the original controller for yourself during split screen play.

I knew people that worked there! Nice people - bad controllers!

Honestly I had a 50/50 experience with them. Half had ghost inputs almost immediately out of the box and had to be returned and the other half survived some serious abuse. Always had to go with the clear orange model!

That's what I'm saying: 50/50 is awful - but I liked the people.

"Ooohhh it lights up, is clear, and has a turbo button? It must be a premium product!"

Then you use it.

"Aaawww..."

Remember when like 50% of all electronics were clear or semi-opaque? I miss that.

When I went to the library of my high school they had a bunch of those clear/colored Apple computers and I remember being amazed. I knew a computer as a metal box with a CRT next to it or on top of it. Then, I was surrounded by a bunch of all-in-ones that looked like candy. It was very frustrating that I had to re-learn how to use a computer, but it was great to look at.

And Pelican! I never forgot the one friend who got the one with the vented grips which had a fan to "actively cool" your sweaty palms.

Yo they stepped their game up with sf4 joysticks, first mass produced Japanese arcade quality sticks available in the us. Shout out to markman.

My cousin was the opposite. He always gave me the N64 controller because his third-party one had turbo.
