Wii modders dig Twilight Princess
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/nintendo/Wii_modders_dig_Twilight_Princess'; A new movement has taken hold of the art world eBay: putting The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess's cover art on a Wii system. Whether they're forming the shapes of Link's head and his upside-down wolf head out of Swarovski crystals, or airbrushing the design on a silver-painted console, the message is clear: many people have no regard for Nintendo's warranty. And why would they when they're just going to sell their systems anyway?The coolest thing about this Wii is that the current bid is less than a retail Wii costs. We suspect that as more people see it, however, it will become incrementally less cool.%Gallery-11804%[Via GameSniped]
GameCube, meet AirBrush
var digg_url = 'http://www.digg.com/nintendo/GameCube_meet_AirBrush_2'; Sure, your Wii is fully capable of handling all the GameCube awesomeness you can throw at it (or gently insert), but does your Wii look like this? Unless you had someone do a little airbrushing, the answer is probably no. Thanks to the wonder of eBay, however, you can have your very own airbrushed GameCube to match that sweet van you've got out in the driveway. You can even install the GameCube in your customized van, if you are so inclined.
Some celebrities shying away from HD cameras
It's all but unanimous that sports programming looks entirely more appealing in high definition than in SD, but for folks on the other side of the cameras, adding all that detail can be intimidating, if not embarrassing. While the "grain structure of film allows for a softness" that lends a hand in covering up the not-so-attractive signs of aging, HD cameras tend to capture that raw, unassailable truth that some celebrities are less than fond of. Diane Sawyer, the 61-year old host of ABC's Good Morning America, reportedly acknowledged that the puffiness under her eyes could no long be covered up, as viewers looking on in HD "could see every flaw." To combat the newfangled "problem" posed to many on-camera stars, makeup firms are devising new "airbrushing" techniques to add glamor and remove blemishes without looking like a shot of Botox gone horribly awry. Interestingly, reports indicated that viewers tended to enjoy the rough, disclosing look on men, but would rather see dames looking their best through those pixel-packed lenses. Nevertheless, HD cameras are making flaws more and more noticeable, and apparently causing quite the ruckus from overly concerned celebrities all the same, but hey, that's the price you pay for being in the (1080i) limelight.
