I once thought "hand me the remote" was the laziest sentence possible but "the cord on my video game controller is too short" is...maybe not lazier, but it is more pathetic. Sit on the floor like when you were a kid. Not only is it a more authentic experience but you could probably use the stretch. I mean...look at you. You're only afraid of sitting down there because you're not excited about how hard it would be to stand up again and flop your fat ass onto the couch. That reluctance is proof that this is the very sort of exercise you need.
I guess mainstream gamers have probably been wireless so long that this is going to be a huge thing to complain about. They've probably designed their TV space in such a way that using short controller cords is as "impossible" as finding room for a CRT. (Finding room for a 8 foot HDTV however is seldom a problem.) Since I still play old games all the time I don't even notice.
Come to think of it, some of you dicks are RetroGaming on screens so bright and so huge that it's probably super uncomfortable if not medically unadvisable to sit less than 10 feet away. Luckily options for extending HDMI and USB power are inumerable so really this is only a problem for the really helpless.
