Huge remote control gets you off the couchDo you want a remote that will get you off your butt and help you shed some of those couch potato pounds? Here’s just the thing. Change the channel like playing DDR. Some creative guy with dreams of a huge remote saw an over-sized novelty remote at Brookstone and it was destiny.

He stitcheed together two PS2 Dance Dance Revolution mats, a PS2-to-PC controller converter box, and some homebrew source code. It works, but I think I’ll stick with the palm sized version. This would however be a great preventative device for those people who get so obese that they need a crane to break their wall and take them to the hospital. Video below.

Metal Gear Solid for the iPod

Metal Gear Solid for the iPodGreat news for MGS fans. Konami has decided to port several games, apparently lured by the 70% revenue share that developers get from the iPhone App Store.

The games are Metal Gear solid, Silent hill, Dance Dance Revolution and Frogger. I think it’s safe to say that they will sell well and generate a ton of revenue for Konami, so we expect others to follow their lead.
