    Someone needs to go back to Kanji class (possibly me :P)...

    D-pad - Samurai

    Top - 3
    Right - Round, Yen
    Left - Mouth
    Bottom - Gentleman, Samurai

    That's about the best I can do to translate those buttons. Maybe I'm missing something... #samuraiwarriorusbgamepadisfreaky...

    @OddManOut: I'm pretty sure most of the kanji were selected for their shape rather than meaning. Other than the one on the right (which, as you pointed out, means "round", and is in place of the Circle button) , they look like their PlayStation counterparts (Triangle, Square, X) #samuraiwarriorusbgamepadisfreaky...

    I've seen discarded tranny corpses smeared with clown makeup more appealing than this.

    I can't corroborate that, of course--even if I wasn't too exhausted to dig up the barrels, the sulfuric acid's done its job by now. #samuraiwarriorusbgamepadisfreaky...

    @fluidexistence: I'm not sure which is worse, the fact that you actually saw a discarded tranny corpse with clown makeup smeared on it, or the fact that you saw them on more than one occasion (or a pile of them at once) and saw appeal in them.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Many of the greats were unheralded in their own time, so it's at least a small comfort there.

    I admit, I didn't come across this easily--the first one was a huge misunderstanding (long story--it involved a night of 151, Windex, hotornot, a box of crayons and a blowtorch), but after that, it became a hobby of sorts. There's just something about a pile of pancaked corpse parts that screams "Christmas!" louder than a thousand thousand wreaths, carolers and elves ever could.

    Incidentally, don't try it with carolers, they tend to travel in packs. Makes for a hell of a challenge. #samuraiwarriorusbgamepadisfreaky...

    In my experience, the girls always go for the red one! But that's mine!

    Although my previous girlfriends weren't that great at most video games, they still really enjoyed them. Heck, one of them always did better than me at any game on Super Nintendo.

    I've tried everything to get my wife into gaming...introduced her to WoW, got a Wii, got her a nintendo DS with dogs, etc.

    Seems like the only thing that interests her is watching lame cop dramas, wedding shows, and fashion shows...sigh.

    I have an official pink one with sparkly stars and My li'l pony stickers all over it. It's not for the girlfriend. It is used as the mark of shame. Last one to grab an Xbox controllers gets to use that beauty.

    I love video games but I don't need a pink controller to play. I get so offended by these posts because not all women are high maintenance girls that require pink frilly to get in there with the boys. I have been playing video games all my life, fixing computers, working on cars, cooking and getting dirty. I hate the mall unless its to buy computer parts or video games. maybe I am not typical but I am every bit a girl. and yes, I am single

    Maybe if you chilled out a bit and accepted that girls can be into gaming and also like the colour pink, you'd have a boyfriend.

    I wish to complain about the title of this article. I read "girlfriend Contoller" and (like many,I suspect) thought "AT LAST". but was diisapointed to find the article a complete letdown.
