One Shots: Meteors galore
It seems like no matter where players fly in Star Trek Online, there are meteors all over the place. We're not entirely sure what left so much intergalactic litter all over the place -- perhaps one too many space fights? Regardless, it does make for some pretty Star Trek Online One Shots, such as this one sent in to us today by Forrest, who writes: "I was exploring a newly discovered planet when I caught this glimpse of my old-as-dirt Connie, truly a nostalgic and geektastic sight." Have you found a gorgeous view on your travels? Why not share that moment of coolness with the world! Just email it in to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a brief description. We'll post it out here and give you the credit. %Gallery-85937%
DIY foot-pedal midi controller
A determined fellow named Forrest set out on a three-day mission to build a foot pedal-based midi controller using an old keyboard PCB and fifteen sustain pedals he found on clearance at various Radio Shacks within a 60 mile radius. He wired the pedals to the PCB, which was connected to a laptop running a virtual keyboard program -- essentially turning the contraption into a QWERTY piano. The output then gets sent to his Roland guitar / synth via USB midi interface, allowing him to jam on his axe while also making sweet synth sounds with the pedal "keys." Video demonstration after the jump. [Warning: Read link NSFW due to profanity][Via Hackaday]
