Today’s show was the best in a long time…
By far the most entertaining episode of the season so far where Phil reviewed the Steam controller. What does that mean?
To begin, he didn’t have an overhead shot setup for the unboxing, which I understand because some people’s time is far too valuable to prep for work.
Then the idiot couldn’t decipher the infographic instructions in the box. The ones that companies sink a ton of money into research and focus groups for so that any idiot can figure them out.
Returning to our theme of zero prep work, he didn’t set it up and/or charge it ahead of time, so the unboxing and review was literally just opening the box, describing the things inside it, and complaining about how it may work (buttons too close, hard plastic makes his fingers hurt and calloused).
But the absolute highlight, the connection and setup. Since the home “studio” was designed by a retarded retard, he is required to get up and walk around his desk to plug something into a USB port. Even better, Phil being Phil, he gave zero thought to what would be required after plugging it in, so had to keep getting up and down (cardio day!) no less than a half dozen times because he would return to his seat after each step of the process before realizing it wasn’t finished. The cherry on top was calling out Valve for cheaping out on a USB cord that “doesn’t reach all the way across the floor”. For a wireless controller.
The review concluded without a single second of actual use of the controller.
Tune in to tonight’s Daily Wrap, where Phil will recount the above in autistic detail.
