New Paint

Decided to start a new side project and repaint my Xbox controller and face plate. Just took a little spray paint, clear coat, and tape. Next on the list is a battle damaged controller and face plate.

Turtle Beach Ear Force X1


You remember the first time Spiderman’s spidey sense kicked in? He was a little overwhelmed at first, but with time he came to understand his gift. Well that’s how I felt when I first used my Turtle Beach Ear Force X1 headset. At first I was overwhelmed with being able to hear so much gun fire in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but I was hooked after a few games. I’m not going to say Turtle Beach Ear Force X1 is the best headset, but you can’t beat the rice tag of $59.95.

PROS
Super Adjustable, padded headband
Chat and in game audio
USB powered from the Xbox 360
Inline amplifier, mute. and volume control
Separate controls for game and chat volumes
16 feet of cable
Also works with PC games . (Also will work with Itunes on Macs)
Kick ass bass

CONS
Tons of wires
Background static when the volume is turned up
Background static when sending outgoing messages
Personally I’m not crazy about the overall appearance of the product

The 5 Foot Xbox

One night me and my boyfriend where sitting on the couch watching a Netflix Movie from the Xbox..and bang it hit us! We need a 5 foot Xbox to hang in the living room. So one week later we have a 5 foot Xbox hanging in our living room. A big plus of dating an industrial designer ;)

To make a 5 foot Xbox you’ll need 1/2 sheet of plywood, bunch of paint, wood glue, clear acrylic “for the power button” and an industrial designer!

Step 1 Cut Plywood
