Giant NES controller as coffee table, storage

20-year-old Australian Kyle Downes just finished building his most recent Ultra Awesome project: A massive working Nintendo controller that doubles as a coffee table and triples as a storage chest.

Built from a desire to improve G4TV's similar design, Kyle printed out a picture of an NES controller on A4 sized paper for the measurements and cut the whole thing out of 4mm Medium Density Fiberboard.

The result is every gamer's dream. It's another tribute to retro tech and the perfect piece of furniture to match your race car bed and sofa cushion forts.

So, this has been bugging me for a while: Crave reposts stories found on other sites for days. Then, in the RSS feed, the majority of the story is cut off, meaning one had to click through to read the story. What a piece of **** way to run a 'news' site.

This has been bugging me for a while: Crave looks at other sites, reposts their stories, and then makes readers click through to read the full story, if they are using an RSS reader feed. What a piece-of-crap way to run a website. Anyways, I am creating a site where Crave stories are reposted, maybe a week later, as a proper tribute to this 'journalism'.
