StarCraft II Minerals & Probe Cushion Covers: You Must Construct Additional Pillows
Posted in: Today's ChiliEtsy artist and Protoss fan Robyn Dean made these cute and stylish square pillow cases featuring a chunk of minerals and a Protoss probe. I like the art style; I can see them blending in even with non-geeky surroundings. You should watch out for Zergling pillow cases though.
You can buy both pillow covers from Robyn’s shop Patch Notes for $30(USD) each or $59 for both designs. Note that these are just covers; you’ll have to supply the pillows yourself. Or maybe the probe can warp some in for you.

SRK contest produces a 26-button Starcraft II arcade controller, probably won’t stop Zerg rushes (video)
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Almost as a dare, Shoryuken (SRK) challenged its fans to produce a fighting game-style controller for Starcraft II. Mauricio Romano took them up on that contest and won with a surprisingly polished arcade stick of his own. Its cornerstone is a heavily modified Ultrastik joystick that’s turned into an on-controller, two-button mouse. You didn’t think a PC gamer would cling to a plain joystick, did you? In the process, the usual 101 keys of a typical keyboard have been pared down to a set of 26 buttons most relevant for Blizzard’s real-time strategy epic. Packaged up in a single, polished USB peripheral, the one-off prototype’s design is good enough to imagine a Major League Gaming pro taking it out on the road. We’d put that idea on ice for now, though: as Mauricio shows in the video below, the learning curve is steep enough that most players won’t be fending off diamond-league marine and zergling blitzes anytime soon.
