When playing a game do you tilt the controller in the direction you want to go?
Cheese toast > j00. Games with motion-sensitive controllers don't count. :P

I've never been a controller tilter. I find that it makes it harder to play,... it's kinda like trying to play with you neck turned sideways, except it's with your hands (I was doing it intentionally to see what it would be like),... technically it's not nearly as bad as playing with my neck turned sideways (but my point is that it distorts my ability to play to some extent).
It used to annoy me when somebody sitting next to me would do that,... and now I just kinda laugh cause it looks funny.
Not to offend anybody, but to me it looks kinda retarted when people tilt the controller because it looks like their trying to fly a Plane or something .

Steps to flying your very own Plane!:
1: Find a chair and sit in it.
2: Strap a pair of safty goggles to your face.
3: Grab a controller and hold on for dear life.
4: Tilt your hands and body and don't be afraid use your imagination! (remember, whenever you speed up, press your body against the back of your chair)
Fineprint : Warning, using your imagination too much may cause you t o act lik e Barney

I don't tilt the controller. But I do have a PS2 controller hooked up to my gamecube.

And occasionally I play video games with my feet. I even beat one of my friends at SSB:M with my feet!

I just realized that although I don't tilt the controller, I tilt myself. I lean forward, and crane my neck even more forward, which often results in a sore neck/back, referred to as Halo-neck when playing Halo with friends.

A lot of people do this. It just seems to be something people do when very intensely focused on something. Unlike everyone else I know, I never do this, as it causes my hair to fall in my face, which is somewhat distracting.

I don't do it. I also tend to laugh at the people who do. Especially when their entire body goes with the controller sideways. Heh.

Sometimes when I play Metroid Prime and the camera doesn't pan far enough, I move my head to try and look around.
