Atari 2600 Lotion Mod

[mercatfat]

If you're anything like me, you've worn through the very skin of your fingers numerous times while playing countless hours of such as Adventure, Pitfall and Bachelor Party. I decided on a mod that'd fix this problem for good.

As you can see, one need merely wiggle the joystick to keep their hands in tip-top, moist shape; thus eliminating the skin lesions that one can typically expect from hours upon hours of waggling.

The mod is currently in alpha, but I need only a hacksaw and superglue to launch this into phase beta.

Dude, that is just wrong.

[themadhacker]

playing with your joystick will eventually get you sticky hands!

seriously, though. I hope this is a joke, because This really reminds me of soimething else.

[XCVG]

That's disgusting, pointless, and impractical as hell.

Therefore, I love it!

[samjc3]

that looks so wrong!

[HBN]

Please put the hole else ware....It looks toooooo much like something else with the hole at the top like that.

[metalcookie]

is this a joke?
i repeat IS THIS A JOKE?
i mean, seriously. think about what you are doing! i really hope this is a joke. i mean, it looks like you are making the atari...well, you get the point

[ChrisKoopa]

thats making me sick

[mercatfat]

Some of you people are true perverts!

The distribution of the lotion wouldn't be nearly as even in any other location, so it's clear that the top is a must.

I successfully modified the button to send out a gush of salve, but in games like River Raid I ended up becoming so moist that i starting playing sloppy seconds after starting up up a game.

Any ideas on how I could modify a paddle controller in a similar aspect? There's nothing quite like moisturization from running your fingers around a knob.

Allow me to say that this isn't good for the controllers. When goop such as lotion seeps down to where the carbon button contacts are, the miostness turns some of the carbon to goop, and it gets everywhere on the joystcik pcb. This makes it hard to get responses from the buttons when pressed. Trust me, I have fixed several remotes and handhelds that have had problems like that.

[khaag]

Hahahahahahahaha.

Controller cum-shot.

[yoshilime]

Whats th point of this? cant you just put it on your hands? wont this grease t up, thus making it harder to play? plus, i wouldnt want goop coming down on me when im trying for a high score in space invaders.

[XCVG]

It's a joke, obviously. One of those random projects.










I hope.

[J.D]

That's funny. And disgusting. Made my day.

[Shakespeare]

If anyone even doubts that this isn't a joke, you're an idiot.

I immediately saw this as a mockery of some of the useless mods people have made (read: n64 controller bong, NES controller wallet). Oh, and I laughed so hard my abdominal region got sore.

I want one of these.

(PS. What's the music used in that video? It's awesome.)
