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 :)

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....

Here it is:

Next phase is going to be cammo-fying it, coupled with the blue stencil printing.

So I've got a very rough example of what my proposed case will look like here. Just picture it with a lot less scratches and some bullet holes (textures, not real ones :P ):
What it should look like, except a bit less delapidated

So yea, I started work on it this last weekend. Here's phase 1:

It's getting on its way, I just need to find some time when I can empty out my case, since the top and front panel can't come off =(
And yes, that is a hard drive converted into a sanding block.

Normally I keep this blog strictly for photos, but I just can't believe that one of THQ's latest title releases Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor is still $30 USD. Now, I love Company of Heroes. I haven't played more of any game, ever. I've been playing it since it came out, pre-ordered Opposing Fronts, and have loved all of it. Not to mention THQ's excellent support, releasing some 15-20 patches in the first years, balancing gameplay and fixing bugs [unlike Electronic Arts, who ruined my older favorite game, Command & Conquer: Generals and its sequel: Zero Hour, by releasing 3 patches and then publicly announcing a halt to support less than a year later].

I wanted to buy Tales of Valor, but when I found out it was $30 for a short campaign and no bonus armies, and few new units at all, I decided to not purchase it and wait. Now, thinking it was dropped down to $10, I might pick it up. But no, it is still $30, 2 months after its release. It hasn't been getting good reviews, and hasn't been selling well, and yet somehow it is still $30. What the heck THQ! You're usually on top of things, but come on!

Anyway, that's my rant for today. And since this is a photo blog, I leave you with this photo:
