Blu-Ray Laser Phaser! – Click here for the most popular videos
Hack a Playstation 3 Blu Ray Laser and turn it into a Laser phaser just like the one in Star Wars.
Now you will be able to go boldly where no man has gone before.
Ok Ok, so it isn’t as powerful as the one that Skywalker used, but taking into consideration our technology doesn’t let us even go into hyperspace, I’d say this gizmo is pretty darn cool.

There is a detailed list there of what you need to put this thing together.

27-Year-Old High Score For Asteroids Beaten
Posted on April 09, 2010First posted on wired.com
John McAllister, who seriously has too much free-time on his hands has managed to beat a high-score that has been standing for a good 27 years.
He scored 41,338,740 points after having been playing for three days straight, getting up every now and then for a sarnie and a cold drink. According to the report at wired.com, a bathroom break almost cost him the title.
The official Asteroids high score of 41,336,440 has been standing since November 14, 1982 – set by a 15 year old Scott Safran.
John’s record is still unofficial until it is recognized by video game referees. Read more on the story…
Play DVDs on your Wii – I wanna I wanna
Posted on April 08, 2010The above video shows you the way to make DVDs playable on your Wii, system 4.0 or above (mine is 4.1 right now and it works fine), I couldn’t quite copy what this guy did, but have come up with a step by step:
Ok, I do have to warn you that there is a possibility that you can really break your Wii if you get this wrong…
- Ok, you’re still here, the first thing you want to do is download this zip file that the guy who did the video on youtube put together and save it to your Desktop, or somewhere else easy to get to.
- a) If you don’t have an extracting/unzipping program you can go here to download 7zip.
- Put your SD card in your computer and right-click on “My Computer” or “Computer” in Vista on your desktop and click explore, navigate to your SD card.
- Switch back to your desktop right click the zip file that you downloaded, click on 7zip menu and then extract to “/hackmii installer” Open the hackmii folder and then open the readme.txt file. Minimize the readme file for now.
- Highlight all of those folders and the boot.elf file and right-click copy them to your SD card.
- a) If you already have a folder called private, you can rename it to privateold. That you way won’t delete anything if it’s important. I didn’t have any issues though.
- b) For version 4.2, if you chose the 2nd option, you need to copy the contents of the hackmii installer zip file onto the SD card as well as the entire apps folder from the mplayer-ce zip file you downloaded.
- Go back to the readme file from before and start from step 3.
- After you’ve done everything in the readme file open the homebrew channel and go to the homebrew browser.
- a) You now need to download the program that will play the DVDs and not all of them work. It took me a couple hours to figure that out. Go ahead and update the browser if it prompts you.
- Go to the Media section and find MPlayer CE (Christmas Edition) and click download.
- Once that is done you can either look around and see what else there is to download (there is tons of stuff). Or you can press the home button on your wiimote and either reboot the wii to get back to the wii menu, or return to loader to go back to the homebrew channel. To get to the menu from the homebrew channel, hit the home button again and then exit.
