Wall-E GameCube Mod is Awesome [PICS]

gizmodo.com — "Long before the Pixar movie hits the big screen this summer, a group of German modders have been inspired by Wall-E's cuteness to take an old and unloved Nintendo GameCube and some scraps of metal and acrylic, and put together a sweet mod that looks just like the little robot himself. It even has tank treads and a flip-down shutter..."

- Nobiting, on 07/09/2008, -6/+4Jerk stole my avatar!
- HydrogenOxide, on 07/10/2008, -0/+27 To be honest, I'd have one just to have Wall-E on my desk, and besides, a little Double Dash and Pikmin aren't that bad every once in a while.
  - dragon76, on 07/10/2008, -0/+8I still think Double Dash has the best tracks in Mario Kart.
  - BowieX, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3dragon76, please excuse the arguably spamminess of this comment :p but some of us at gamefaqs are creating our own imaginary Mario Kart Wii sequel, "Royal Prix" (to create artwork for) and we've voted for our favorite fan-designed tracks:

  - digitaldivinci, on 07/10/2008, -2/+10notice the 2
    
    That didn't make popular. This one did. Also searching through the submitter's history, he was active when this was front page based on his diggs, however he didn't digg this story.
    
    I didn't say he stole it, but I sure as hell don't think it needs to front page daily.
  - Tomholius, on 07/10/2008, -3/+3This is why i love Digg
  - uberleat, on 07/10/2008, -2/+2screenshot?
- twishart, on 07/10/2008, -3/+5NOT ON MY WATCH
- tehknotte, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4DON'T Stop! BELIEVING! (dugg up!)
  - Elliottx, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2SHE TOOK A MIDNIGHT TRAIN GOING AAAAAAAAANYYYYYYYYWHEEEEEEEERE!
- themastersb, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1Notice the already on front page.
goeric, on 07/10/2008, -4/+25"Eeeeeeeeeeeeva"
- 801NvizioN, on 07/10/2008, -10/+3God she's bangin hot.
  Wall E Even gropes her.
  - jman583, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3... Not waiting till 2050 for the whole robo sex thing then?
  - 801NvizioN, on 07/10/2008, -2/+3I don't see why I should.
    I already jack it with EVE in my mind.
  - SlvrEagle23, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5It's true, she's a curvy white girl with a cute giggle.
    
    Doesn't get much better than that.
Dumbledore, on 07/10/2008, -4/+4i like how this was submitted to Gizmodo like 4 months ago...
- dfnj123, on 07/10/2008, -2/+1And it's still as cute as the first day it was posted...
FrozenDeception, on 07/10/2008, -2/+2This was on a week ago, yet there is still no info or pics of them constructing it, how to do it ourselves or anything. Still cool nonetheless.
jakethelake, on 07/10/2008, -2/+10I think Digg is broken. What happened to the tea-bag men (I know, not a very catchy name) who used to sift through what made it to the front page without letting the same story pass through twice.

Honestly, do Diggers come in waves? No one using the site today saw it yesterday?
- digitaldivinci, on 07/10/2008, -3/+2*Clears Throat*
- laserblazer, on 07/10/2008, -2/+7The cool cats are on reddit.
- karmicfreak, on 07/10/2008, -1/+1I think most diggers come in kleenex.
BigBangBaby, on 07/10/2008, -5/+1It's cute, but it won't curb my Double Dash road rage.
BlueSkyfish, on 07/10/2008, -4/+11I'm surprised we haven't seen a Weighted Companion Gamecube mod yet.
- sevenalive, on 07/10/2008, -1/+3? There has been several.
ShadowFoxxx, on 07/10/2008, -3/+2That's brilliant, I'll get one for pure decoration.
Makkiux, on 07/10/2008, -6/+1The mod is cool, but the bad thing is that its gamecube
PainToad, on 07/10/2008, -10/+3So its a Gamecube with a gimmick attached? Ooooo so its a DIY Wii?

And yes I own a Wii
HanSolo69, on 07/10/2008, -4/+2Wall-E Gamecube mod is a dupe.
Picard102, on 07/10/2008, -4/+2How many times does this story need to be on the front page. DUPE
poontangpirate, on 07/10/2008, -5/+2This was on the front page yesterday:
http://digg.com/mods/Wall_E_Gamecube_Mod_4
- Tahiri, on 07/10/2008, -1/+1notice the 4?i like how this was submitted to Gizmodo like 4 months ago
nlarso, on 07/10/2008, -6/+1who would've thought that there would be a way to have "gamecube" and "awesome" in the same sentence!
greatname, on 07/10/2008, -7/+2what the hell is a "gamecube"?
- blahtastic, on 07/10/2008, -1/+1I believe it's one of these http://www.inwap.com/mf/reboot/episodes/images/gam ...
  - blahtastic, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1Ok, who the hell doesn't like Reboot and dugg me down.
inetiatic, on 07/10/2008, -6/+5Well, good thing this is a dupe of my post 2 days ago..
- heathuff23, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1I agree...thats why digg is going downhill...same ***** over and over....you should submit it again on Friday!
  - Jeffler, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4"you should submit it again on Friday! "
    
    Wall E Gamecubes - the new XKCD
dhVyse, on 07/10/2008, -4/+2Buried as dupe.
guymandood, on 07/10/2008, -4/+1I don't understand the significance of the gamecube. The thing doesn't function - why not use a cardboard box? Or is that not leet enuf?
DaHuuuuuudge, on 07/10/2008, -3/+3"Long before the Pixar movie hits the big screen this summer"

Haha
- JrGhoull, on 07/10/2008, -1/+1look at the date that the post took place on...
  - DaHuuuuuudge, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1Yes, it's obviously an old article. That doesn't mean it's not a little funny to see that sentence on Digg's front page after the movie's come out.
Coolmatt49, on 07/10/2008, -5/+5Is WALL•E is the GameCube, then EVE must be the Wii.
krahzee, on 07/10/2008, -3/+2Given the going rate for used gamecubes, expect to see a great deal more mods with it. This is especially true with the first time modders, since a fried cube is cheaper than almost anything else to replace. Plus its already small for makes it that much easier to incorporate into mods with less work
Bennist, on 07/10/2008, -3/+4The next R.O.B?
adiyo011, on 07/10/2008, -6/+1This still won't make me change my mind about my crappy Gamecube.
oraki, on 07/10/2008, -3/+2I want Johnny # 5
Myztry, on 07/10/2008, -2/+3Maybe it's just an Australian thing, but to call somebody a Wally is to call them stupid...
- JrGhoull, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1never heard that before but good to know all the same
- teessidedazza, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1We say wally in Britain too(no surprise in Australia wally has the same meaning)
  
  ...even better the US's 'Where's Waldo?' is called 'Where's wally?' in the UK. Much fun for schoolkids at that...
SubmittedBai, on 07/10/2008, -5/+0"Long before the Pixar movie hits the big screen this summer."
Ehrm?
trackerbishop, on 07/10/2008, -2/+1does the mod also make the gamecube not suck? the only good game for it was windwaker! you're all fanboys
