You can never beat a classic. Here’s some proof that even an old rectangular Nintendo controller can serve an interesting and damn well awesome purpose. It’s a cool case mod that turns your Nintendo controller into a mouse, with the A / B buttons serving as the clickers. A cut out on the bottom of the controller allows the laser ...

Damn region codes, always getting in the way of our viewing pleasure. It seems that some nice fellows over at XBH forums have figured out a way to change the values on the DVD region code on hypervisor exploitable XBox 360s.

This looks like the most comfortable damn bike ever ridden by human beings. The office chair bike is a 35 lb luxury leather office chair attached to a 16″ school girl type bicycle.
