Herd of Cats' moron of the day

And the winner is... Stormblade! (Sorry Revek)

That camouflage controller skin works better than I thoughtThat camouflage controller skin works better than I thought

So (seriously) Stormblade was having a little trouble locating the Xbox controller for the Xbox 360 he was going to use. So much so that he wandered into my Xbox area and grabbed another controller (also camo skinned) from the wall. If he hadn't needed a battery for the new controller I never would have known there was an issue.

Note: the conversation is essentially accurate. My memory is poor but the gist of the conversation is intact.

Stormblade: "I need a battery for my controller."

Blackwalt: "That's not your controller. There's a battery in your controller"

Stormblade: "I took this off your wall, I couldn't find a controller in the other room."

Blackwalt: "It's in there, I'll help you find it."

Stormblade: "Fine, I'll go look again."

    Blackwalt kills himself laughing as he spots the controller from the doorway as Stormblade wanders around the room searching.

Stormblade: "You're laughing, it's somewhere obvious isn't it."

Blackwalt: More laughter

Stormblade: "Oh great, it's right there. I didn't see it."

Blackwalt: "Wait! Don't move it! I need to take a picture."

Stormblade: "Fine..."

Blackwalt: "This is so going on the site."

Stormblade (unnecessarily): "I hate you."

Cementing his win of the coveted moron of the day award is the minor detail that Stormblade had just removed the Halo 3 edition hard drive and installed his own hard drive as well as having popped open the CD drive tray to insert his Modern Warfare 2 and that the Xbox 360 had been powered on. All of this occurring within inches of the, so called, hidden controller.

Good thing the controller was in a urban camouflage skin, not the "more appropriate for its locale" forest green camouflage skin. Otherwise it may never have been found.
