If you aren’t happy with those tiny USB drives that always seem to run away when you need them most, you might need a more bulky solution. That way you can spot it on your desk without having to strain your eyes too much. I assure you that although it is a [...]
Brett Dawson is heavy-handed with his game controllers. However, since he’s a drummer and his game of choice is Rock Band, we can excuse him, especially when he solves the issue with a professional drum kit converted into a controller. Brett painstakingly transferred the piezoelectric cells that pick up the drum vibrations from Harmonix’ own [...]
Once again I’m ashamed of my lack of Dremel skills. The product of a feverish desire to take the Sega Dreamcast out on the move, this mod is a custom vacuum casing containing not only the guts of the console but a set of two 7.2V 3Ah R/C car batteries. Rather intimidatingly, the game CD [...]

I think this wins the award of the geekiest laptop bag ever, and on this rare occasion I don’t mean that as a compliment. I enjoy many creations made from old technology, I especially love things made from circuit boards, but this is a bit much even for me.
I’m sure that every gamer that’s my age or older has seen The Last Starfighter. If you haven’t, you should watch it sometime, it’s a classic flick.
