TILT! TILT!!!
Dear Ben Heck,
It looks like you might have some competition for being the coolest modder on the net in the form of new up-and-comer Adam Thole. Young Adam has modded his wired Xbox 360 controller so it's motion-sensitive and can emulate movement in games by tilting it. I have to admit, it's not on the same scale as the Wii Laptop, but it's one of those absolutely brilliant ideas that I've fallen in love with.
Investing about two-and-a-half weeks worth of time, he was able to put together a fully-functioning wired 360 controller with a 2-axis accelerometer -- and he makes the hack seem pretty straightforward. There are a lot of details on his site for those looking to emulate this mod, and Adam claims that he may even hack a wireless controller for version two.
Actually, Adam's thinking of hacking a wireless controller. If you contact him via his website -don't worry, the link's at the bottom- and tell him you'd like to see a wireless version of the tilt-able action. Or you could tell him you'd like him to take his shirt off. Is it just me or is Adam kinda hot?
