One brave soldier in those battles is TikTok\u2019s georgeroopz, who saw a video making fun of people who play \u201cclaw\u201d and decided to enter the fray. For those who are unaware, claw players grip their controllers in a special, raised fashion where each hand\u2019s pointer fingers can be used to hit face buttons as their middle and ring fingers use the paddles. (The traditional grip has thumbs handling all face buttons and analog sticks, while pointer fingers manage the paddles.) But georgeroopz isn\u2019t part of the normal or claw regiments. Instead, he holds his controller upside-down, with inverted controls. And that is not a lie, he has apparently been doing it since he was two years old \u2014 and he knows how wild it is. In response to a video suggesting that claw players are \u201csociopaths,\u201d George takes things a few steps further and decides to show off his own technique. Explaining that he\u2019s been told multiple times that this grip makes him a \u201cmenace to society,\u201d he proceeds to flip the controller around and play a match upside-down. Apparently comfortable fielding frequently asked questions, George even answers some that he\u2019s sure people are wondering: \u201cAre my in-game controls inverted? No, not really. But the inputs for my brain are.\u201d While we won\u2019t judge his brain or his grip, it\u2019s clear that TikTok has some thoughts on the behavior. Some of the popular replies call him a \u201chazard to the nation\u201d and a \u201cthreat to this world.\u201d Others are less concerned and simply call this technique \u201cunbelievably impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CoD player\u2019s viral controller technique is a bigger \u201cmenace to society\u201d than claw Pexels, Luca \/ ActivisionA Call of Duty controller player has gone viral on TikTok after showcasing his preferred controller technique \u2014 and it\u2019s weirder than \u201cclaw.\u201d Holding his controller upside down, people have described him as a \u201cmenace to society.\u201d Past the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24995\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
