When I take the Xbox gamepad to start playing Halo: Master Chief Collection, I say something I've said approximately 17,000 times in my life: "Let me just invert the Y-axis." I always think of the right thumbstick, which controls the game view, like a pilot's yoke, so when I want to look down, I push the thumbstick up. "Interview over," Kareem Choudhry says, laughing. Choudhry's colleague, Kevin La Chapelle, jumps in to defend me. "I've found another one!" he says gleefully. Not that fixing the controller layout makes me any better at the game; trying to drive a Warthog, I crash the all-terrain vehicle into a tree.
