This week’s second fantastic NES hack comes from the BenHeck forums (you are already registered there, aren’t you?). This clever modder took a third party NES knockoff and crammed all the retro goodness into an actual NES controller. In addition to the awesomeness of simply relishing in its own irony it also looks pretty fun to play. The controller also sports a cartridge dock, extra controller connections and a glowing red Nintendo logo. NEStastic!
When the Nintendo Wii came out I knew there were going to be plenty and plenty of user mods and hacks. This is simply one of the many that have already been released to the wild. It’s a very simple program (that clearly is still a work in progress) but the idea is still honorable. Turn your next gen gaming controllers into an air drum machine that replicates a Mattel toy that came out twenty years prior. Seriously though, add some more sound options and a little musical talent and you can take this show on the road.
I know that there are already tons of Wii hacks out there. Anyone got any favorites worth mentioning here?
The Mario themed tube shirts have finally arrived. Thanks to all the zerosign readers that pre-ordered and to the many more that supplied helpful comments. The great guys at Mammoth Printshop totally delivered on these quality shirts. If I ever feel the need to put another idea on a t-shirt, I’ll definitely be using them again. Also, to whoever is interested, I still have a few handfulls of shirts left. No more pre-orders; these babies are here and waiting to be shipped out. Again thanks to all the ones that already ordered one; your shirt is in the mail now.

This image of Mega Man was made simply with a few hours of college boredom and about $60 of Post-It notes. I love it becuase it is so simple yet so representative of the original game. Practically anyone can make these and make them look good.
My roommates and I did not have a TV, and to pass the time, I decided to decorate our walls by making some art - out of post-it notes. The following pictures are all made out of 3M post it notes, and each took between 2-5 hours to create (I think Mega Man took the longest). All in all, the project only set me back around $60.
