That’s the story of Louis 64, a YouTuber and sure contender to the title of IRL Elden Lord, who’s simply proven his greatsword-shaped controller. When you have a look at the video under, you’ll discover that he’s not speaking a few greatsword with some buttons on it, like that legendary Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller from 20 years in the past, however relatively a few movement controller than Louis swings in actual life to get his character to duplicate his strikes within the sport.

That’s rattling heavy, completely wild, and presumably even harmful — not less than for the entire stuff Louis has on his partitions, as one commenter on Twitter states.
