Worst Game Experience?

[AuraLancer]

When you turn on a Gamecube, all control sticks on the connected controllers have their current position set to neutral. This means the controllers will act weird if you were leaning over one and unknowingly tilting a stick, or if you had the controller face down or something.

Also, after the controller has seen a lot of use with age, the control sticks might become a little wobbly in their neutral position. It could get bad enough that releasing the stick from a tilt might not send it back close enough to the calibrated neutral position for the Gamecube's liking.
