12 Embarrassing Things All Gamers Do But Would Never Admit
4. Inverse Therapy
Although I'm not meant to admit it...I'm going to have to hold my hands up. I'm an inverter. I'm sorry. I'm that guy who - when multiplayer matches are about to take place - must temporarily pause the system, adjust my control scheme so everything is completely the wrong way around and then forget to change it back. This then results in the next person who uses the pad being incredibly confused and wondering what the hell is going on. I don't know why I'm this way. It just feels inherently wrong to have things around the right way. I think it all stems from the original Tomb Raider games where the swimming controls were reversed - I've just never gotten out of the habit. I'd advise anyone who is an inverter to avoid groups of gamers at all costs. You will have much scorn directed at you if you admit it. It's honestly like you've killed a puppy.
