Fix Your NES Controller & While You're At It, Customize it!

I love customizing my gaming hardware especially gaming controllers. They are one of the easiest to get parts for and the NES Controllers are also one of the easiest things to customize. You really don't need to be a "professional modders" to make your NES controllers look great. Granted, you can always buy a premade controller but if you do a quick search on Etsy or Ebay, you see a lot of people are selling premade customized controllers for some outrageous prices. I like the feeling that with a little effort and some fairly cheap parts, I can be playing my personalized controller that not only plays well, but looks awesome. The one thing I can confirm to all of you import Famicom gamers is that the controller membranes are 100% compatible with the NES kits. The inside of the controllers are the same, with the only exception being the 2nd Controller on the original Famicom due to the microphone.

What you will need:

• (x1) NES Controllers 
• (x1) NES Controller Membrane Kit
• (x1) Small tipped Phillips Screwdriver
• Cotton Swabs
• Rubbing Alcohol
• Old Toothbrush

Optional Items if you want to Customize Your Controller. 

• (x1) Vinyl Dye or Spray Paint
• (x1) Custom Controller Overlay 
• (x1) Custom DPad & Buttons

This week, we have a shorter episode and we just jumped right into the main topic: Star Wars The Clone Wars: Season 7 Episode 10 The Phantom Apprentice. Oh boy, that was an episode!!! We have theories, we have hopes, and we are just excited that the series seems to be going out with a bang! Also, what would be the best weapon in a zombie apocalypse? I like our tangential discussion, okay?

Outdated References 42: Old Friends Not Forgotten

This week, Russ, Jules, Adam, and I did a long video game talk about everything from Mario Kart 8 to OverWatch. Socializing through gaming is the best way to deal with the dread of quarantine and helps keep you sane. When we get to the meat of the episode we all started to fanboy over Star Wars Clone Wars Episode 9, “Old Friends Not Forgotten.” (SQUEEEEE!!!) Eventually the discussion went into geeky direction about what is a Jedi. Was the Council right or wrong? Who was the personification of paragon? Who was corrupted by politics? Also, where does Darth Maul fit into Clone Wars, Rebel and Solo? Ah, my head is hurting.

This week, Russ, Adam, and I are finally happy to see some forward momentum of the Star Wars Clone Wars plot-line and a general discussion about softcover vs hardcover and should you make bread?  I have no clue but we are all still under quarantine and we are all going a bit stir crazy.  Good thing you have this episode to keep diverted for a few hours.

Greetings and Salutations,
This week, the gang talked about the usual, games we been playing & TV shows we've been a watchin'. We chat about Star Wars Clone Wars Episode 7 "Dangerous Debt" where I just wanted to pull my hair out because I don't care about the sisters, I want to see Mandalore. The show just didn't impress us so we went back to the finale of Star Trek Picard because Jules finally caught up. Then we go out on a Star Wars fueled tangents. So that was neat...
