Custom Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NES: Heroes on a Console

The last time we featured console modder Ryan Fitzpatrick aka Platinum Fungi we saw his personal tribute to Mega Man 2. His latest finished project on the other hand is up for grabs. It’s a radical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NES.

As with the Mega Man 2 NES, Ryan worked with fellow modder Custom NES Guy on this mod. The star of the project are the cutouts on top of the console, which Ryan painstakingly made by hand. But there are also lots of tiny details to appreciate here, from the great color scheme and paint job to the four bundled controllers, each with an overlay representing a different member of the Turtles.

As I said, Ryan is selling this particular console. It’s going to cost you more than a box of pizza though. As of this writing you have to bid at least $1,275 (USD) on eBay to get a chance at owning the console.

Disposable Batteries Recharger helps stretch every last dollar

disposable-batteries-rechargerWe do know that times can get pretty hard for some of us out there, especially when you are out of a job for the longest time and your savings have just about run out. Well, that would mean being even more prudent with every single penny that you spend, and there are many ways to do so. In the case of using disposable batteries, there might be a different method to prolong the life of these puppies even when others have long given up on them. How is that possible, you ask? Well, this is where the $79.95 Disposable Batteries Recharger comes in handy.

The Disposable Batteries Recharger happens to have enough storage space to revitalize up to eight disposable batteries simultaneously. The device itself will feature a sophisticated microprocessor and proprietary charging technology that will be able to automatically identify battery types as well as their conditions before the charging process begins. The unit itself will be able to recharge batteries in one to eight hours depending on the type and size, and it also has the ability to revitalize alkaline batteries up to 10 times. The eight charging slots has enough room to accommodate half a dozen AAA, AA, A, C, or D batteries and two 9-volt batteries, where it will play nice with alkaline, NiMH, or NiCd batteries. The inclusion of a built-in LCD will let you see the batteries’ charge levels. Man, I wish I had this back when I was a wee lad and was eating through AA batteries like nobody’s business on my Game Boy.

I-MEGO Throne Headphones: When You Play the Game of ‘Phones You Play Music or You Die

If you’re in the market for a pair of cool looking headphones that’ll stand out from the crowd, you might want to check out I-MEGO’s Throne series.

These full-size over-the-ear headphones offer a unique design, with ventilated metal-trimmed enclosures with comfy memory foam earcups. The headband and earcups are covered with real leather, and I especially like the stitching detail on the headband. 40mm drivers provide solid frequency response from 20 to 20,000Hz, and a sensitivity of 102dB +/- 3dB. Bass response is very good if you like your music with a thump.

The headphones come in either a gunmetal chrome version with dark purple vent accents, or gold with black ones. Each pair includes a soft travel pouch, and an integrated microphone on its cable. You can get your hands on the Throne headphones over at the I-MEGO website for $129.99(USD).
