Xbox 360 'eaten' by alligator People have covered themselves and their possessions in animal skins since the dawn of time, but one gamer has taken things to another level by crafting an alligator-themed Xbox 360. Alligator_Xbox Alligator Xbox 360: swamp thing? Gamer dfw monkie - somehow we’re guessing that’s not his real name - has published pictures …
Pretty impressive! Make log:
Blow smoke in its eyes for the "red ring" effect, sand it down, paint it white.
Install small piezoelectric speakers in /near its ears.
Set up control electroniccy stuff so that the left and right speakers would fire in response to the right and left motion of the analogue stick.
Possibly two sets of piezeos- so one set would be in front of and the other behind the ear- to give some sort of forwards/backwards control too.
Anyone got a pet they'd want to try this out on?
Less Capable? PS3 is vastly more capable than the ex-box360...
You only have to look at GTA IV to see that. Whilst the PS3 version is better, it's still crippled by the 360's limitations... Ever wondered about the startup on the PS3 version with the semi-static pictures, where no HDD access lights are flashing. Yep, you can thank the 360 version for that, and the common codebase, and fear of upsetting Microsoft for that one...
I have to agree, I was expecting a tale of how a alligator came in someones trailer and ate the X-Box, was even invisioning the slang and accent.
It would not be the first, worked with Comcast and a lady could not get online. Asked what lights were on on the modem and she could not answer. Asked her to follow the ethernet cable to the box and tell me what the light configuration was. She then stated that her sons snake had eaten the modem. Nuff said.
DO Xbox owners actually have any education AT ALL?
First we have an AC using "Queue" instead of "Cue", and now we have "Hear Hear" instead of "Here Here".
Now I always figured Xbox owners must be slightly wrong in the head, for buying such a horribly overpriced console with such last-gen unreliable tech, but it seems we now have proof of this..
Oh you are quite the boffin aren't you! Unfortunately Wikipedia seems to disagree with you:
Hear hear is an expression that originated as hear ye, or hear him, usually repeated. This imperative was used to call attention to a speaker's words, and naturally developed the sense of a broad expression of favour. This is how it is still used today, although one can always vary one's tone to express different sentiments; the Oxford English Dictionary noted around the turn of the century that the phrase is now the regular form of cheering in the House of Commons, and expresses, according to intonation, admiration, acquiescence, indignation, derision, etc. It is often incorrectly spelled "here here".
Not that I am being pedantic!
