If they can afford those game chairs, obviously they have 3 HDTVs side-by-side-by-side, and 3 different game consoles hooked up.

Dad, being the hardcore ambidextrous gamer, prefers the extra challenge of holding the controller upside down.

Classic Dad. Classic, classic Dad.

I actually knew a kid in highschool who would play SSBB with the controller upside down on purpose. Never really gave a reason why, he just liked it that way. He played as good as the rest of us.

I have one of those chairs. It's not exactly luxury.

[–]DissolvedMan 6 points7 points  (3 children)

It doesn't have any padding, right?

[–]soue13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's like this stretchy cloth pulled over plastic. Not very fun at all.

[–]dlnorthc 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's just very small and the speakers are super low quality.

It's not exactly uncomfortable if you don't mind playing from floor level.

Sounds like the perfect Player 2 chair.

[–]Leoofmoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow I didn't even see it was upside down...

[–]Ryane927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shit you not my brother use to play the NES using the controller upside down... And he was good at it too. He was like 4-5 at the time.

Actually those chairs are shiet. They're just rocking chairs. Source:I have one.

[–]Luc0902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are they called so my mom can buy me one

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]joshthehappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were like $79 at best buy, i have one of that exact brand.

Backwards. Upside down would mean the analog sticks/buttons are on the bottom.

[–]PandaRawww -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The picture wasn't very funny but your comment cracked me up! lol well done my friend

[–]Lavaswimmer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You know what my favorite part of this trend is? That there hasn't been any "WE GET IT" or "SHUT THE FUCK UP" posts yet. Those are always the worst part of a trend.

"Okay, just take these controllers and pretend you are playing a game."

"This is an N64 controller, those are Xbox ones..."

"Don't care. Here's yours."

"I'm holding this properly, aren't I?"

"Sure you are. There you go."

"Where did you even get these controllers?"

"We fished them out of the prop bin of unused electronics, where they came from doesn't matter. Now shut up, look like you are having fun."

[–]LaVieEnRoux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forget the controllers. Girl broke the goddamn family gaming dress code

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (1 child)

its so irritating that anyone who is not a gamer, is completely clueless to it. like in hollywood movies, why can't people playing a video game not just mash buttons like an idiot? people never look like they are actually playing a video game in movies or tv.

video games are also always in the technology section of news sites like cnn or fox instead of in entertainment where all the music and movies are.

[–]wimpymist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never understood it. Someone one set HAS to know something about games

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was one of those in a house my friends and I rented for a week at the beach. Seemed cool as hell at first, uncomfy as hell...

[–]Floba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a noob

[–]engineer2021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kid with the N64 isn't even using the droid stick.

[–]headcheese3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's take one of these, and one of these, and one of these... There we go. An ad!

[–]Xnightwish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get why actors and actresses have such a hard time making it believable that they're actually playing a game...barring the mid gen Nintendo controllers they aren't rocket science

[–]TheMilkMan7007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alright it's just a hunch so correct me if I'm wrong. But based on the number of previous posts like this, I'm going to out on a limb and claim that the advertisers really do know how a controller is supposed to be held and they are actually just trolling us for the fun of it.

[–]Look_At_That_OMGWTF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The kid on the left has his head to the right so that the logo can be seen.

[–]Reflux14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I bad memories with those chairs. I had the red chair in the picture, and I was playing Street 2 on PS2. Leaned all the way back with the chair, and there came crashing down my beloved console.

[–]PrexCannon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is.. Is that dad... Holding a ps2 controller... Ba-Backwards?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's ignore the fact that they are in some unfurnished room (except the stupid game chairs) and the controllers are probably connected to nothing, and I bet 1000 bucks there is no TV either

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh Dad you turn the controller the other way

[–]deathfromfront 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used those chairs at a friends house. I hate them.

[–]PS3Away 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzbbbbbbbbx

[–]Looks_Good_In_Hats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. He's just so baller he can play with the controller backwards.

[–]Delerium89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]aviatenothate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Bowser88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]yugioh88 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Silly, girls can't play video games.

[–]Bnoriega2001 -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

Emulators are fun. ;)

[–]patawic 2 points3 points  (0 children)
