HarmoNESica is exactly that

Samus grab the banjo, we'll grab the HarmoNESica, tell Snake to bring his mandolin -- let's meet on Shadow Moses Island at sundown for some Brawlin' good blue bluegrass. Video is after the break.

Ohhh dude.. get a life

[Tamer Brad @ Mar 15th 2008 2:36PM]

haha man you are so fucking cool, i bet you get all the ladies

[Seoultrain @ Mar 15th 2008 2:42PM]

simple mod, couldn't have taken more than 30 minutes. What have you accomplished in the last half hour?

[Blackstar @ Mar 15th 2008 2:46PM]

Wow, that sucks and blows at the same time.

[Smart People Play Tuba @ Mar 15th 2008 3:08PM]

I think it's rather meta, having spent time in my younger days blowing on NES catridges to get them to work . . .

Cute idea.

[darkroom @ Mar 15th 2008 4:10PM]

Santiago don't be a douche...

[buttabean @ Mar 15th 2008 2:43PM]

i was like wtf? until i watched the video lol

[Jamma @ Mar 15th 2008 2:44PM]

This was a triumph.
I’m making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Engadget dot com
You post what you must
because you can.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead.
But there’s no sense griping over everything fake
You just keep on typing till you run out of cake.
And the posting gets done
And you make it all fun
For the people who are still alive.

The trolls make me angry.
I’m being so sincere right now
Even though they brake my heart
And flame me.
They bore me to pieces
I want throw them into a fire
As they burns it's great because what they say is so untrue!
Now these points of gloating make a beautiful line.
And you're out of voting
And the Fanboys will whine
So I’m GLaD i'm not first
I Think that those posts are the worst
for the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and low rank me.
I think I prefer to say I failed.
Maybe i'll find somewhere else to flamebait.
Maybe Gizmodo
THAT WAS A JOKE
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great.
My opinion has been voiced.

Look at me still talking
when there’s posting to do.
When I read these posts, it makes me GLaD they're all true.
You've got articles to run
There are stories to be done
For the people who are still alive.
And believe me you are still alive.
You're doing Perfct and You're still alive.
You Are FANTASTIC and you're still alive.
While there is trolling you'll be still alive.
And when there're fanboy's you'll be still alive.
STILL ALIVE
STILL ALIVE

I never read these poems or whatever they are because they're so damn long.
I simpy can't find the strength in me to get through them or even begin to read them.
This is the first time I ever replied on a comment without reading it :/

[sdh @ Mar 15th 2008 8:14PM]

..And apparently I don't even care to read my replies for typo's before posting them, haha.

[Dylan K @ Mar 15th 2008 10:11PM]

I just love 5 month old memes that were never funny.

[iofthestorm @ Mar 15th 2008 11:48PM]

Dang, how long have you been writing that? Need to work on the grammar a bit, but nice job otherwise.

[sdh @ Mar 16th 2008 9:00AM]

@ iofthestorm
Actually I think he copied and pasted it, so I'm gessing it didn't take that long.

[raptor @ Mar 15th 2008 5:07PM]

god how sad !!!! , have people not got better things to do

[Reader @ Mar 15th 2008 7:24PM]

Santiago already beat you to it. Find some creative way to troll.

[Backlin @ Mar 15th 2008 2:51PM]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-haaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Git 'er dun boys!

[bob sakamano @ Mar 15th 2008 2:53PM]

the wire coming from the ceiling to the lcd/plasma in the background is classic, it gives the room a very modern look

[kyle allen @ Mar 15th 2008 3:37PM]

this goes well with the gibson NES paul

[Devon Shaw @ Mar 15th 2008 4:04PM]

He ruined a perfectly good Tecmo Super Bowl for THIS? Of all the games... !! Ugh.

[aoi tsuki @ Mar 16th 2008 12:03AM]

First thing i thought of too. Bible Adventures would've made a much better choice.

[Joseph @ Mar 15th 2008 4:14PM]

the video seriously blows...seriously. It's a harmonica. The awkward intro is the icing on the cake.

[kyle allen @ Mar 15th 2008 6:54PM]

only a 30 something would call someone a 20 something.

[ZeroCorpse @ Mar 15th 2008 4:17PM]

And in today's thrilling episode of "Mods made by taking one crap thing and sticking it in the plastic shell of another, more popular, crap thing" . . .

It's not cool. Never. It's lame when people take one thing, and stick in the plastic shell of another thing. You could stick an entire Apple Newton inside a McDonald's Happy Meal box, or an HD-DVD player inside a He-Man playset, or a VOIP phone in a Twin Peaks lunchbox, but that doesn't make them cool or worthy of news. It just means you have a skill for sticking things inside other things.

STOP THE MADNESS!

[oGMo @ Mar 15th 2008 6:42PM]

Wow all these negative comments are incomprehensible. Not at all what I expected from this site. You're all fucking idiots.

This is brilliant and hilarious. Anyone who played the NES as a kid will immediately see the picture and comprehend what is essentially a physical pun. This is one of those forehead-slapping "why didn't I think of that!" mods (probably why so many are derisive).

[Nickff @ Mar 15th 2008 8:06PM]

Why would anyone do that to THE greatest video game ever created.

[glassd @ Mar 16th 2008 12:57PM]

Hey! I pride myself on my ability to stick things inside other things. A guy has to be good at something...

[glassd @ Mar 16th 2008 12:58PM]

I broke something, That was supposed to be a reply to ZeroCorpse

[Armando @ Mar 15th 2008 9:43PM]

Ahh, yes - Tecmo Super Bowl, still the greatest football game ever (don't get me wrong, I love me some Madden) ... but the game play is just too good and the players... oh man, the Nigerian Nightmare, BO JACKSON! I mean, COME ON, you can't beat that!!! Bring this to the wii store!

[Dave B @ Mar 15th 2008 10:50PM]

I have to comment just for the pure fact that I've been playing the blues harp since I was 15 (hmm, 15 years this year!). I've seen some crazy-looking harps over the year, but I have to say, this takes the cake. A little over-dorky even for me!

[Dave B @ Mar 15th 2008 10:57PM]

PS A Pocket Pal? You couldn't even spring for a Special 20? Dude. Also, you pretty much nix the idea of playing with a Bullet Mic as well. Alas.

[MichaelD @ Mar 16th 2008 8:57AM]

Just in case you guys missed this, it isn't just randomly sticking one item into another. It's reminiscent of the old days of blowing dust out of a cartridge to make it work. Who wasn't reminded of a harmonica? I was hoping to see a guy actually make music with a cartridge alone, but this is almost as good.

[MichaelQ @ Mar 16th 2008 11:31AM]

It's impossible to stop Bo Jackson. Good Jorb.
