  1. make a controller that screams when it's thrown

  2. people throw the controller on purpose and it breaks

  3. they buy another controller

  4. profit

Just tried it out and showed it to family. We are literally flabbergasted. :D

For some reason it's only happened once though. Maybe valve doesn't want people to go crazy and break something with this Easter egg 🤔

I've managed to do it more than once. Someone somewhere mentioned there is a possible cooldown, so you have to wait a few seconds before it screams again.

Great bit, but honestly criminal they didn't use the portal turret scream.

Good to know, but that does not look safe 🙈

Yeah, I'm definitely not confirming it with my controller.

I saw that meme before reading the news. I thought its just a meme...
