Definitions

The poor man's tate. You set the game to vertical mode but, instead of rotating your TV (and risking frying it), you just lie down on your side and rotate yourself. Same effect, zero hardware, mild neck ache.

“No rotating mount so I'm doing ghetto tate on the sofa, head on a cushion.”
