A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

ROFL I'm glad I wasn't the only one!
For a moment I thought I was weird...
And why does the tail detach from the controller?
That explanation is most deffinitely not allowed here (yeah, like I actually have some authority to say that)! Just stick with flicking the nubs. Errr.
Gripping the sticks? Umm. Handling the new goods? Playing with your new toy? Pushing the right buttons? Manipulating the hardware? Unwrapping your present? Plugging and using it? Experiencing the "super strong dual vibration funtion" (I think we found the purpose of the tail)? Damnit why does everything sound naughty after this post!?!?!?!?
As an aside... there looks to be enough room for a small butane cartridge (within the body of the controller) from a butane lighter, as well as enough room for the electric igniter (near the exit valve in the mouth) from said lighter. All you have to do is keep the paint from melting.
Are you sure this wasnt meant for crapgadget?
"The commotion in the room when we found out the eyes light up was seriously louder than for the Pre announcement."
It's so bad it's amazing.
I'm guessing you can't play Doom with that...
My roommate and I are seriously in tears after reading the instruction manual with a chinese accent... ONCE PLUG IN, USE IT! lol
ALRIGHT, I'll buy an XBox already!
Those are some perky-ass joysticks in the 7th picture.
ok...So can you use this with the Xbox 360????
If so, I'm buying one...
Its GodZilla!!
This thread made me laugh so freakin hard! Thank you, makers of cheesy dragon controller product.
This controller (if made for PS3) would have been perfect for Lair. Fire breathing P.O.S. controller meets fire breathing P.O.S. game. Buy both and get laughed at for life!
The two pinna wobble fluctuate!
Question on everyone's mind is:
Is it XBOX360 compatible?
ok ok ok , good design fire your weapons by pressing the red balls of the dragon... O.o
This controller was originally designed by a company called "Gemini" for the original xbox as part of a "game elements"/freaky controllers. Gemini were later bought by Philips (they did mostly communication/network products), so the series was not continued. (they also had a Ninja and Samorai controllers for the PS2, and a few more).

Seems like they just converted it to PC.
I am surprised no one here remembered this. What kind of geeks are you people ?
I'm proud to say I have one. I bought it for 0.99$ on ebay a few years ago.
