Throwable Game Controllers
dptalia writes "In trolling recent patents, Barry Fox found one for a throwable game controller. This controller would be shaped like a football or a frisbee and be connected wirelessly to a console. The user could then play digital games like catch, or have a distance throwing competition. The controllers have embedded GPS, an altimeter, and an accelerometer to be able to determine the accuracy of the throws."
I thought this was going to be a controller to survive gamer rage, which would be far more marketable.
Or maybe that's the idea. Get pissed off at your favorite ridiculously demanding platformer, and get in shape while doing it!
The chair version of this controller will be an xBox 360 exclusive.
This guy's the limit!
Every controller is throwable. Believe me, I've, uh, "conducted extensive research".
This is the NFL, which stands for "Not For Long" if you keep making those bulls*** calls.
It was Amy, and it was Virtual Virtual Skeeball.
Yes, when you get mad at a game, nearly any controller can be thrown. Many controllers support multi-directional throwing, too. Some even have shatter-resistant architechture.
