DIYer builds fully-functional NES controller coffee table, earns mad respect

Nah, the idea of using a freshly-mushroomed NES controller as your coffee table isn't new, but we've got to give props where props are due on this one. Kyle Downes has just completed a painstaking project that resulted in his very own NES controller table, complete with a removable glass top to protect the unit itself. Best of all, it's way more than just a living room centerpiece. Open it up and you'll find loads of storage room for items any Big N fanboy shouldn't be without. Remove the glass covering and you'll realize that it's a fully-functional Nintendo Entertainment System control pad. Don't believe us? Check out the video after the break.

Finally,
a worthy video showing how a male and his female counterpart can play together in the gaming world. Congrats on this, I like that concept.

Anyway nice gaming controller. Now all we need to see is a big Xbox related controller and we should be set to go!

I wonder how many times he banged his girlfriend on that table?..Is it sturdy enough to support two people?..or possibly more?..Can you accidently set the game to play by itself while you do the "NASTY" on that controller?..Does it vibrate while your banging??
These are the questions we all want to know....Really!

Cool table! Can't believe the thing actually works!

Too bad there's something wrong with the video above - it isn't playing correctly.

Wow, she would need a whole other person to hold run for her so she could still jump.
