My rabbits undeniably cute but he really likes to eat random things and lately those things have unfortunately been rubber. Sometimes this rubber belongs to expensive video game peripherals, Xbox Live headsets, HDMI cables and power cords.
In this particular case my rabbit decided to eat my Xbox 360 controller. Now as you can see the damage didn't completely destroy the controller but it has made the right joystick ridiculously uncomfortable to use.
I also, strangely enough I guess, feel very attached to this particular controller. I've used it since I got my 360 and I've spent countless hours gaming with it. We've played Halo 2, 3, GTA 4, Mass Effect and countless other games together. I've used it for so much that the little nubs on the joysticks have worn down and are completely gone. There is also a a chip of blue paint stuck on the bottom left corner that happened after I whipped the controller at a wall in frustration after getting my ass handed to me during the Halo 3 beta.
This may seem ridiculously weird but I honestly felt a little depressed when I discovered the damage this evil animal caused. Sure I can still use the controller but it will never feel the same. Even as I write this my rabbit is staring at me rather evilly. I know he knows what he did, he See's me holding the controller in my hand all the time, perhaps this was revenge for cutting his nails the other night?
So I ask this question, have any of you every felt a particular connection with your video game console controllers? Whether it be a ColecoVision, Super Nintendo or even a PlaySation 3 controller.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
My wife imported a white dualshock 3 for me awhile back. I've already had to dismember and put it back together twice. I will not let it die!!!
My question is...why not just keep your expensive electronics away from your hare?
He likes to run around and my cords are everywhere so it makes it difficult. On this particular occasion I fell asleep, he hopped up on my couch and munched away at the controller.
I had this same attachment with on of my ps2 controllers. My dad got me an imported Japanese special edition white ps2. It came with a white controller. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I only used that controller. Even though i had a standard black controller as well, but like you said, there was a connection. On nite i slept in the living room after a intense gaming session. When i woke up and stoop up, I stepped on the controller which fell on the ground while i was sleeping. It broke instantly. I felt like something inside me had been destroyed. It was unfixable. I had crushed it into pieces. I tried to tape it back together. No luck. That happened 5 years ago. I have moved countries since. I have a ps3 now. But....I still have that controller and ps2 in my room. Its kind of freaky but I just couldnt leave it. Well, thats my story.
I had a bunny once and it able cable a lot -_- Managed to keep it away from my games. I love bunnies. better than those drooly dogs and bitchy cats
