Default Default vs Inverted Controls

I've always been curious as to how many people actually play with an inverted y-axis since I do and I always get yelled at for it, then again, in my group of friends, im the one who plays the most games. To me, its just natural to use it. So I want to know, who plays inverted and who plays on the default.

I use default, but back in the 007 days of ownage I would play inverted since that is all it had IIRC. I can still play with both, but prefer default.

For YEARS, I had played using inverted y axis, and was pretty good with it. Then I stopped playing games for a while, accidentally started using default, and stuck with it. I'm better with it, than with inverted.

I play inverted with controllers only. I can't do it with mouse. When playing in inverted, it feels right when I'm using both analog sticks on the PS controllers.

I've tried playing Inverted a few times but it's way too confusing to get used to. I can only play default on PC and consoles...unless I want to lose horribly.

I guess I should have specified that I meant on a console, cuz I dont know a single soul who could do inverted on a pc. That would just be amazingly difficult.
