What is Digg?67 Comments
- dementio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I've been wondering what to do with my non-working NES for months. Great digg
- luke--, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I can just see it...waking up in the mornign and slamming the hinge shut instead of hitting the snooze button.
- ezod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Everyone seems to be getting stuck on the fact that I called the controllers "paddles," and we're too cool to call them paddles anymore. The hulking masses with 93 buttons we have on modern systems don't much look like paddles, but back in 1986, I assure you, all the cool kids were calling them paddles.
Anyway, thanks for digging my stuff! I think now I'll finish modding the PADDLE to control it. - ezod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I know, I know, but people called them paddles anyway. Maybe it's just a Canadian thing.
- regedit2D, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2who cares that he calls them paddles? Everybody has their own terms for things, so leave him to it.
- charliechaplan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool - yes
freaking massive alarm clock - yes
would make one myself - no (too lazy)
respect to maker of this case mod - somewhat yes
diggable - yes - Optimus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11, 2, 3, 4, 5.... 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... 11, 12!! 12!!!
- Jolene, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1*calms self down* Man...I was about to blow when I read the title. "How could you rip apart an NES?!"....but...it was broken...so...heh...
Nice mod. If I was a DYI type and had a broken NES I'd do this my self.
+Digg. - Plaguefox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1... paddles? Not to be elite, seriously, but is this a term used ... in a particular vocabulary? I haven't heard controllers called paddles in a long, long time.
Imagine the absurdity of calling X360's controllers paddles. ;)
The actual digg is well worth it. :) - KSUdesigner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"you could get laid with that clock"
Rather you could get laid next to that clock lol. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3"No digg because he sad 'paddles'..."
Wow, you are easily one of the biggest douches here on digg. You sure you're not a slashdotter and wandered in here by accident? - ezod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm sorry you found my writing "in" to be vague and poor, but the site isn't intended as an instruction manual for building your own... you know, this kind of project isn't fun at all if you're just following what someone else has already done.
- Kissitfatty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1you could get laid with that clock
- AKron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Do those fancy game paddles still use four buttons to move around, like the old Atari joystick, but without the stick? I never understood why that is. I like a mouse's variable input, rather than LEFT! RIGHT! STOP! GO!
hehe - I said "paddles"
DIGG! - squenix1221, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cool project...but it probably isnt worth doing all the wiring for it for just an alarm clock.
+digg - echosierratwo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Love it!
- CPTHawkeye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how do i do so...
- R4wBon3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ezod - for clarification, in the pre-joypad controller days, there of course was the most popular 'joystick' and then 'paddles' were before that from the Pong days; a dial used to move a bar around on the screen to simulate a paddle in table-tennis-like games. The Atari 2600 (VCS) often came with a set of paddles ina bundle since many of the games were very simple and only required 2 directional input. Paddles is incorrect for anything NES related - I don't even remember an input device for the NES that was paddle-like.
- zaders, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0paddles or not.. +digg. nice work.
- Meshyf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love it. I don't care if he said paddles or not. Even if it does seem easy. That is some good use of a broken NES.
- Dash-2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"clock entertainment system"
roflgasm! I love it
AS for the CES, its pretty rad, but what would ultimitly set it apart would be a mario-like-ring for the alarm. That would be sick! - I8PP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0In England we call them enjoyment execution interfaces
- tsunamisteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0don't forget to blow in it before you fall asleep!!!
- ezod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sure do.
- Amplix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I know a guy that insists on calling them joysticks...
It annoys the crap out of me but hey..
I like this, good stuff. :) - skinner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0sweet
- Fly1m1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Easy but cool.....digg
- definiteform, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ill take one.
- skooma, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1wow, paddles? paddles is like, old, old school terminology.
- jizzimmy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Elitist Nintendo fanboys hah.
Anyways, that's easily the most awesome alarm clock I've ever seen. - I8PP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't mean to insult the skill in making this as it's more complicated than the PC and the DVD mods, but I think there should be some more bits in there other than the clock - how about a clock radio
- G33KFR33K, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Paddles = Atari 2600
Controller = Nintendo
XD But digg for awesomeness still... - higherness, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I know this guy! I know this guy! 2600!
Aaron, if only you're brother would be this motivated. - Darth_tater, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol very easy to do but still he did a very good job, i like it.
i name you "nintendigital"
lol - Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0its not a nes alarm clock its a clocktendo or a nintenclock or maybe a clock entertainment system
- abbtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0One word.... Sweet!
--------------------------------------
http://hackedgadgets.com - wilf_brim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Decent, but pretty kludgy. You have to manually short the controller ports to set it, so more of a nice display piece than a practical clock. Neat, though.
- roastedbagel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome dude, good work.. +digg for sure
- kolop1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 Not a very usefull mod. Seems like someone with to much time on their hands.
- BrianHolt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0what a waist of an NES. fixing the NES would have been more valuable.
- mcgirt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anything NES rocks. This mod is fscking leet.
- ryanlynds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@abyss
did you read the page at all? it's a lot more than just "taping components inside." sheesh. - Hubso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Here's what to do with the "paddles": http://us.gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/nes-controller-mp3-player-138408.php
- gnjack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great. Love It. + Digg
- sirguich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great Digg, I think it'll be my next alarm clock!
- DNABeast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Jenkins! You're Late! Explain yourself"
"Sorry sir. I forgot to blow the dust out of my alarm clock before setting it" - Marlon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wtf
that's pimped
+digg - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0His instructions were hard to understand, and the writing in was vague and poor. That is probably why it wasn't included in the magazine. The editors would've had to rewrite the whole thing. Having a Nintendo alarm clock would be cool, I'd need to follow a different article though.
- OrangeTide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought it was going to be something neat like booting NES CPU with some code to make it works like an alarm clock (perhaps a small TV display, you can get B&W tvs from Walgreens for $25).
Although it's still cool to gut a NES and put a normal alarm clock inside it. - burnaby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0nice...but...lol
