Maybe I am just bored but doesn't this picture look a little strange?

What is up with that controller? It's backwards! And who the hell presses the controller buttons in that manner? This certainly doesn't bode well for 1up.com. The least they could do was hire a decent photoshop artist. Very sad indeed.

I have a commercial for Brighthouse cable, where they talk about XBox Live and PS2 online, and it shows someone with a gamecube controller, and all they're doing is swiveling the c-stick around and around. I don't know why they can't find someone who knows shit about games to make commercials involving games.

the best is for apc (the power surge potector guys) magazine. when they came out with a surge protector/game case thing for x-box, they had like a four year old kid sitting a foot away from a 20 year old tv with a duke controller badly photoshopped encompassing his hands, all with a windows aquarium screensave on the tv.

Well it is a girl trying to play a video game...
Just kidding please do not attack me for being anti-feminist I'm only kidding.
Seriously though it is kind of a creepy picture, she kind of looks posessed or something.

Yeah imagine that...a woman hired because she is semi-attractive and not because of her gaming skillz..that reminds me of someone else...hmmm

I cant think of who that might be. Well I guess certain types are subjectable to sexual advertising.

Lol wow.
Actually it's only backwards because of the way she's facing. tilt your head and you'll see that she's holding it right. i checked about 17 times too to make sure and it looks absolutely fine to me.
even the way she's holding it is ok.
so what's the problem again?
oh yeah, she does have man hands. haha.

If you look closely enough you'll SONY on the controller is YNOS and the D-Pad is on the right side of the controller. I don't have a PS2 but I haven't heard of any redesigns on the controllers... or on Sony's name. =P

EDIT: I hold the controller like that only when I play Tekken or Soul Calibur. Maybe those are my hands that were Photoshopped into the pic!

If she has man hands, she must have a man-gina
Besides donm't worry about the backward controller, concentrate on her oh face. Well actually it looks like her ooooh face!

Most likely they just flipped her image in a graphics program. That does not mean she is holding the controller wrong.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but are you saying you hold it upside down so the triggers are facing you? I can't figure out exactly what you mean.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but are you saying you hold it upside down so the triggers are facing you? I can't figure out exactly what you mean.

I use my fingers to press the attack buttons instead of my thumb. While I'm standing on my head, spinning and whistling the tune to the Andy Griffith Show.

Another odd thing I noticed was that its physically impossible to hold the controller as pictured. In other words, unless you discombobulate the controller the D-pad will be on the left and face buttons will be on the right. So I'm thinking they edited the controller into her hands (if those her hands).

That begs the question, what was she holding instead of the controller?

ohhh, okay, i thought you meant backwards, not with your fingers. I do that when I have a complicated combo to do.
