Ben, are you going to make the second part of that tutorial? Making a cool attachment for it?
Also, apparently, someone is claming they made an attachment for this via mini usb connection. If this is something that can be deemed possible, do you know how it would be connected for us to achieve this?

The other name, in the US, is the Turbo Grafx Express! I want one so badly!!! =D

Well it's a nice follow up. I can't say I feel any smarter of anything really positive after reading the comments. It's a wonder that those people have the intellegence to master the ability to type or at least hunt and peck.

Genius! A removable analog stick encased in a can of jerky, who but Ben would have thought of that. Crazy.
When you mention painting it, you might also note that most paints will not stick to that kind of plastic (polypropolene). But paints made for that kind of plastic such as Krylon's Fustion line of spray paint will work perfectly.
Also, wouldn't something like a tin can of tuna be a bit more sturdy? I suppose it would be a bit harder to cut metal though, so something plastic would be better suited for this. It might also have been a bit easier to reach the R trigger if the analog stick was higher up, but that's nitpicking.
Awesome job. I can't wait to see what comes next! I gotta admit, I read half your stuff just for the humor and tech knowledge, not even noticing what you 're building.
