World's largest Atari controller
The very first video game console I ever owned - I think I was in 4th grade when I got it - was the Atari 2600.

(My parents would only let me play video games for an hour each day during the school week. How many kids can say that these days?) We played for so long that I eventually developed a major callous on my thumb, which would sometimes split open when my bike grip rubbed it too hard.
Imagine the callous a feller could get from this thing:
