LEGO Wii Zapper puts old blocks to good use

What better way to complement your LEGO-fied Wii than to build a LEGO-based Zapper holster for your Wiimote? mrklaw managed to do just that with a colorful assortment of old blocks, and yes, he even left an opening in the rear for the nunchuck. There's also a finely crafted trigger depressor that mashes in the B button underneath, but we've no idea how well this thing would hold together after hours of flailing around while trying to peg on-screen baddies. Nevertheless, it's a whole lot cheaper (provided you've got the parts, and c'mon, you've got the parts) than the alternatives out there, and it's a darn good excuse to bust out the bricks your SO made you lock away after your 28th birthday.

This is a sure way to make a perfectly good system look like actual shit

lol, simpsons.

the handle doesn't even slope backward; not many people like a 90* grip.

That's pure win. Lego blocks are one of the greatest things we have ever created as man, next to duct tape.

And I'm assuming the world girlfriend is supposed to be after "SO" in "bust out the bricks your SO made you lock away".

Significant Other?

Damn, see what happens when you stop playing online games? All these acronyms escape you.

Why with all the "political correctness"

Me and my wife celebrate Christmas, our neighbors, Hanukkah.

What does this have to do with anything in the post?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 3rd 2007 11:22PM]

The only problem I see here is that it assumes that you already own a wide array of lego blocks. I don't, and I don't have any interest to. The wii zapper is actually cheaper than the lego required.

Party pooper.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 4th 2007 12:40AM]

money saved = money for alcohol. alcohol = party. Lego != party. For the purpose of this comment, poop will be left out of the equation.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 4th 2007 1:23AM]

that's "alcohol == party" to you

I know it has little to do with this, but I really want to see scientists re-create the wooly mammoth. (you may recall them finding one frozen with the potential for cloning or whatrver). they've been talking about doing this for years now, so let's get the ball rolling and f'ing do this people.
