Xbox 360 Controller CoH Mod :)

Time to paint!

I got bored, and I also bought an Xbox 360 controller from GoGamer.com for super cheap. So what do you do with things that aren't expensive? MOD THEM! :D
I used this guide, which was extremely helpful :) Thank you MyCustomXbox.com :)

Company of Heroes Case Mod: COMPLETION!

Hey, so I actually completed it in August but I've been too lazy to post ;)

Here are the last couple steps and the resulting picture. I need to change that front 120mm to a blacklight or something cool, but that probably wont happen for a while....

Mason jars just got to a whole new level of awesome. Seriously.

So, I'm sure TONS of you (my 3 readers that is) know this, but I just learned this today. Mason jar lids FIT blender lids! The standard size of Mason jar must have been thought of when they started making blenders a while ago. So me, wishing I had something like the Magic Bullet, but not wishing I had something that broke a ton.


Burman is the man!

BUT WAIT! There's more! Call now and you'll get this book, my wallet, this shiny new mobile home! My entire estate! Or not. But seriously, this is amazing.

Ingredients: Mason jar, fruit

All you gotta do is put a bunch of stuff in a mason jar and pop on the blender top and then blend! Its AWESOME!

OOOOooooo... Pretty.

OOOOooooo... Pretty.

Fits just like a big red hat

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Commemorative Coin

A while back (like 8 months ago now),  I was ecstatic to discover that a prequel to one of my favorite games of all time, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl, was about to release, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky.  Several weeks later, I was quite disheartened to discover that there was going to be no North American release of the Collector's Edition of Clear Sky. After reading what the Russian edition was going to contain (full detailed maps, a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. lighter, several iron-on patches of the various factions in Clear Sky, and a bunch of bonus DVD content, like the Making of, etc) and that I had no way of getting such an awesome collection, I signed the petition to GSC and THQ requesting a North American release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, collector's edition.

Sadly, they did not accept the petition. Lucky for the few dedicated S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans, one lone ranger of awesome, Rhialto (view his website Here), decided to take it upon himself to create a very, very awesome piece of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. history.

Seven months later, after many problems and miles of red tape, this beautiful coin emerged from the factory, and eventually to my, and 99 other lucky souls' mailboxes. Beautiful.

GET THAT S.E.V.A. SUIT ON!

All in all, I still can't get over how awesome Rhialto is. This is an 8-month endeavor that must have had dozens of hours of paperwork to be filled out. Then to organize and them all, pure brilliance.

My PDA goes off to you, Rhialto, you truely are a S.T.A.L.K.E.R.!

note: more pretty photos (of other things) to be uploaded soon....
