Now where did I leave that tree trunk, it may just be big enough for my alternative X-BOX case......

 

how to destoy three great game system ...... :smt011


its really not beautiful,

what this guy was thinking? :smt017


shame on the creator! :smt043

 

Agreed. This is a horribly ugly and stupid project.
If they guy's gonna gut some systems, at least have the decency to put them in a case that doesn't reek of grade school level amateur woodshop skills.

 

I love how all the stuff sticks out of it though :smt023

I find it inspiring in a neo-Dadaesque convalescent juxtaposition kind of piss-take artistic way, or something

 

this is artistic? :smt017

oh yeah , like the guy that pitch is blood on walls ....

:smt043

 

that thing is horrible.... i had an idea on putting multiple consoles on a pc case o.0 i'll see what happens :snipe:

 

That man should be tried for crimes against humanity..... :snipe:

 

uptight nerds...

...you guys don't see the humor in taking a few systems that can be had for dirt-ass cheap and modding them in the most hilarious way possible...c'mon...that shit is funny....

 

Nah man... that shits well shit!

 

Re: uptight nerds...

While it would be funny if it was meant to be ironic, I get the feeling this guy is seriously proud of his "innovation" and "creativity"

 

I'm thinking of stuffing my Gameboy, TurboGrafx, and PC Engine inside a Cheerios box. It's going to be a super easy mod, all I'll have to do is cut some holes and tape the systems in, it will be so cool!!

Any suggestions?


...Anybody?



*Sound of crickets chirping*

 

You know if done right this could actually be a pretty cool idea. Unfortunatly something went very very wrong here.

This is a much cooler idea. Hopefully the systems were broken to begin with.

i read the text for the woodcube while the pics loaded thinking he might have even put a little effort into it, but no. he mereley stuck the systems to different locations on the box. cutting holes and shit. there's no modding here really. wow, the all share the same plug?? im sure he didn't just throw a power strip in there or anything. lame

 

YUCK !! If it's a joke then that heap of crap is quite funny but if he really thinks it's something cool I Pitty The Fool, as Mr. T would say.

Yakumo

 

piece of tape........ :smt011



wow! all system are taking onlyone plug! that's great ! !



(ten seconds later...)


oh... its only a AC Power Adapter Strip......

The Diamond and the Leather strap

Funny story,


My father was a 30 retired Navy man and during his travels accross the country he seen and did many different things one of them was to buy a nice Rolex (this era were the 60-late 70's). This watch served him for many years 25 to be exact. The Silver band was broke; the radioactive dots on the face faded; the time was no longer kept to the 10th of a second so away to the fabled sock draw. So one day i happen to find this jewel and think to myself this is the most amazing watch i have ever seen. Sure the band can be fixed, face can be repainted, and the clock cleaned so i take the watch to a rolex jewler and he quotes a price of $2500 dollars. I was 17 or 18 at the time that being alot of money i was shocked and proceeded to tell him he is a F@cking nut . He tells me that is a cheap price for a watch that is worth $10k. Not believeing the words, i take it to another dealer and hear about the same thing. Running home to my new found treasure i ask my father if i can have the broken down watch which he says "sure but the band is broken" i said never mind that and proceeded to tell him the story of the jewlers and how much it will cost me to fix an newly arrived plan of me saving money and fixing it for myself. So i told him to hold the watch for me til the time of me coming up with the cash to get the watch fixed. Years pass and i saved little by little until i came up with just enough money to get the watch fixed. I go to my parents home and i open the Sock draw where i left my prize i had saved for the time and money. I mean i could feel it. I would wear it and pass it my son and i could see him passing this watch to his and so on and so forth. AS the draw slowly opened The watch The Rolex my newly placed birthrite isn't there. "DAD!" i screamed "Where is the Watch?" which promptly responded "what watch"
That is when i looked at my fathers arm. He was wearing the watch. He looks at me and says i fixed it. He holds up a 10 thousand dollar watch and shows me the Kmart band. "2500 dollars to fix a band a 2 dollar band!" he said with a smile. My heart dropped my father ruined a watch that was worth more than my car in a single afternoon of tinkering with a knife and a pair of pliers. He was beaming proud of himself. "i said dad that watch was for me, it was my birth right it was by all stand points the only thing i felt i would get from the jaggernaut of a man"
He looks at me taking it off his arm and says "here you go i was just keeping it warm for ya." he gave me a grand smile and a wink. I held the watch in my hand feeling the weight of the dail and cheap ass band. I think for a while time for me much like the watch face slowed, who knows how long i stayed still thinking of the casio my childeren would pass down, when my older brother walked up to me and asked me what was wrong. I told him the tale starting with tail from the very beginning and showing the grizzly end. He looked puzzled infact mortified. Then he laughed so loud that i myself wondered if he was insane. He looked at me and said " You know when i was little i wanted that watch even went so far as to try to get it fixed but i had forgotten about it too." he went on "but you know there is one thing about dad you can give him the worlds most beautiful diamond and do you know what he would do with it?"
"no what ?" my eyes started to clear
"He would put a hole through it to hang it off a leather strap."
We laughed and laughed but it was true my father does things just like that. he takes things of worth and fixes them making it worthless. Years later i made a bit of money and bought a nice watch so i too can pass that on instead of the reck of a rolex when my father asked me for that which i said "no" when it came to me the thing my father gave to me to pass down wasn't money or anything made of a material. It was this story which i will pass down.

this dude with the wooden box took all of our fond memories and put them on a leather strap making them worthless. {sorry about the misspellings and such i am at work and had to write this fast}
