If my school bus looked like this I might have actually gone to school more than half of the time. Or at least would have ridden the bus to the school before running off to do my own thing. Hey man, I had important things to do. Don’t judge. Link

Star Wars fan and tangled wire advocate Brian De Vitis managed to have one of the greatest brainstorm ideas ever. Why not take every console I own (all eight of them) and stuff them all into that R2-D2 replica I’ve had sitting around the house. Well, EVERYONE has the supplies needed for this project. No excuses. Grab your droid and ...

Righties rejoice. Ben Heck has done it again with a brand new mod. This time around the Heck-ster created a one-handed Xbox 360 controller. The addition of a semi-intrusive joystick removes the need for the left side of the controller. An added mechanism on the rear of the controller manages the bumper action. While it’s not as pretty as some ...

In return, Microsoft made ...

Designer Carl Archambeault (we know, quite a mouthful) posted this excellent Xbox 360 portable gaming system he’s calling the Xbox 1080. The handheld would offer gaming, music, video, pretty much all the media offered by your current Xbox except all small enough to fit in your pocket.

I’ve fooled around with most of the major operating systems and Ubuntu is easily the most adaptive. It’s just made for users to fuck around with. So projects like this are possible, if not encouraged. This Ubuntu wizard used a script to make the computer open and close the CD drive over and over again. But for what reason, you ...

What up south paws? Gaming controllers got you down? Lack the coordination in your right hand to successfully tap out the X Y B A buttons? Who decided to call it the “right” hand anyway. We say, it’s the WRONG hand. UNH! In yo face! Master modder Ben Heck busted out this awesome swapped Xbox 360 controller, a controller made ...
