lefty-flip for anything is crazytalk don't worry

my first mouse aim gaming experience was a flight sim (descent) - so when i started playing FPS games with mouse look i automatically inverted. i did this up until right around the time CS went retail... dunno why but i switched to normal.

back in my halo days (and pretty much any FPS i guess) i rocked the inverted.
and about being left handed; i was left handed as a kid, then all of a sudden i started writing with my right.

Flight controls are always 'inverted' though and I feel like inverted controls should be the default for first persons as you lean back in order to look up....

Inverted controls with a mouse though..now THAT would be tricky.. I can't actually pinpoint why I play games inverted, thus why I ask about the handedness..

you've done well to have repressed those memories of being furiously beaten with a cane in high school

Inverted is wrong but big up for tactical on consoles. It's a bitch to have to reach so far for knife but I crouch and go prone way more.

tbh that is actually my grandmas story.

for me, i switched when i was like 5, just because i hated smearing my writing lol

flight sims ftw. i think i loved inverted control because the only game we had on our afterschool programs computer was chuck yeagers flight sim.

what five year old is pedantic about the quality of their own hand writing !?

i think it was more about getting ink on my hands

After a few years the skin on the left-hand will develop a resistant layer that will not adhere to many of the compounds found in pen ink and pencils

it's the only way I know.

I put this down, like others, to flight simulator exposure as a young child.

F29 Retaliator on Atari ST. Who knows.

I thought about a possible cs related explanation.. there is none. Although you might say people will try and dodge by jumping more often than ducking, so you'll want the faster motion (away from the wrist) on up. But it's unlikely you thought of that when choosing inverted/normal

And I don't even play counter-strike (although I used to take it as far as playing so called 'muscle-memory maps').

think my use of inverted controls stems from playing lylat wars relentlessly.

Up is down! I swear I'm the only one out of my friends who rocks inverted

mates always bitch at me when we're passing the controller round.

never understood why people have such a hard time grasping why one would play inverted

Yeh i remember playing goldeneye inverted cause that was the default settings.
The N64 controller was so hard to get your hands around, i remember everyone having a different method of holding it.
