Weird AV8R Incident

Good point. I didn't think of that. I've touched the tv to remove dust & stuff before without a shock nearly that bad though. Maybe something in the controller caused it to act as a ground?

I still think it was a stray machine gun round.....

Short of wearing flannel pajamas while repeatedly rubbing your socked feet on the carpet and grabbing the joystick with a saltwater soaked sponge, I think you described the perfect recipe for a nasty static shock.

Yeah but were you sitting on carpet? Every small move you made against the carpet would have built up your own static to add to the TV's.
