An Ode to the GameCube Controller
Nothing like it before or since. People naturally break down into factions when they are a part of large groups. Even the most level-headed geek has a subject near and dear to them worth going to verbal war over. Star Wars or Star Trek? Kirk or Picard? Edison or Tesla?

View fullsize The Ouya console and controller.
