Halloween Again

I still remember writing last year's post about our halloween pumpkin as if it was a few days ago. Time flies, I guess...

Anyway, this year's pumpkin is a friendly one, although despite what Pia says, I still think he looks kind of sad if you look at his eyes.

We managed to use a bump in the pumpkin as his nose :)

Finished XBox 360 Controller Mods

We've finally reassembled Pia's controller. It was a bit more complicated than mine, since the painted trigger buttons didn't fit as perfectly as the stock ones. But it did fit, and it still works perfectly. Here's a picture of both controllers:

If you're wondering about the lights around the home button, the gradient you see in the picture is just due to the angle. When you look at it from the front, the color is uniform.

PS: If you haven't already, check out the two videos I made while modding the controllers:

• Painting the Controller (final steps)
• LED Mod Tutorial

XBox 360 Controller LED Mod Tutorial

To complete the gamepad mod I talked about last week, I've also changed the color of the LED ring around the "home" button. This time, I prepared the camera beforehand and made a short tutorial on how to do it:

Painting my Gamepad

Pia and I recently bought a couple of gamepads to play casual games on the PC. Painting them seemed like a fun weekend project. I didn't get all of it, but at least I got the final steps on video. I hope you like it:
