When playing a game do you tilt the controller in the direction you want to go?

I usually don't, but if I'm really into a game and trying to do a really sharp turn (ahem, MK:DD Wario Stadium) I sometimes do. (I've also tried to look around the corners in OoT's Lost Woods a few times. )

Probably had it happen, but probably only during party type games where I do exaggerate sometimes.

Other than that, rarely or never.

Nope. It only make my play worse. I only do it when I'm making fun of others

If im really into a game and im at a climatic point and im trying my best to not fuck up I tend to sometimes. The worse is when I fuck up and I throw my wavebird straight across the room heh. Without a cord to stop it from travelling straight into the wall.

I did that while I was playing Super Mario Bros.
It was my first game ever while 9 years old and I thought I could make Mario jump wider near that nasty big gap in 8-1, if I tilt the controller slowly aside

I only really do it when I have to tap a button really fast. The only other tilting occurs when I'm shifting my siting position from "relaxed gaming" to "that's freakin' it!" gaming.

I've seen pretty bad tilters. I've even seen a kid who fidgets and stands up and even walks around when he's playing a game ;

Always. I just do it, most of the time, I don't even notice until I actually think about this (like this thread). I think I do it moreso now, because I have a wireless controller and I don't have my cats going after the wires that keep moving.

Never. Well eh, if you count turning it on it's side to better press a series of buttons quickly, then I suppose, but that's not really the same thing. So never.

Do I tilt? Like 80 times man. cheap chappelle show reference
Any ways, of course i tilt. It's a little known secret, that when you hit a sharp turn and turn the controler with the direction the game gives you a little extra turning ability. But honestly, I have no real reason to tilt except for that I've done it since I was 4 playing Zelda on my NES. I tilt, I lift, I dip, I even occasionaly flip, and on rare occasions I will toss. And I totaly understand the casual to let's get it on gaming position.

Sometimes. I used to do it more when I was younger, though.

Ugh, it's hilarious watching people who do this. They just look ... stupid.

I used to, when I played games when I was maybe 3-4 years old. But now I don't, if I do it just makes me mess up or something. I don't see how it can be so hard to just relax and allow your hand and controller just sit there.

I used to, but not so much now

Back when we first got our NES and Mario, it was fun watching my brother play it. Near the end of 1-2, where those rising platforms are, he'd raise up the controller as high as he could when Mario was at the top of the screen According to him, the game wouldn't work properly if he didn't do that.

I probably do sometimes without thinking about it... *clicks rarely*

Of course, I could only see myself doing so in racing games.

I do it absentmindedly now and then. Like... neck and neck finish line races, I tilt foward, or... you know when you *really* get into a good game.

I dont do it much though.

If I get really into a racing game (all the time) I will tilt the controller. The only other time I do it is when I'm getting pissed off, and the tilt is basically a wind up towards the TV screen.

I.... really only do that kind of crap when I'm new or novice to a genre. Like, I'm not a big FPS player, and when I was trying to beat the godawful last level of Marthon 2 this summer I would frequently dig my feet into the ground will sitting down and push my back into my chair when I wanted to get away from my enemies. Or in Starfox (when I began many years ago), trying to move my body and controller over to one side to get out of the way of stuff.
