Bug Bat Swats Flies With Endless Love, Electricity
12:00PM Gizmodo US Edition | The scenario has happened countless times before. A pesky fly interrupts a dinner party. Brad, the club’s resident tennis pro and notorious alcoholic, takes to his feet, Prince racket in hand, and smites the beast violently into a wall with a few tottering swings. OK, so it doesn’t happen exactly like that, but you get the idea. Fly swatter, tennis racket or bare hands, the end result is the same. Boring. Enter the misnamed, but nevertheless brilliant, Bug Bat. More »

DIY Duck Hunt Lamp Still Has That Blasted Laughing Dog
6:00AM Gizmodo US Edition | When I look at the classic Nintendo Zapper I think of my younger days as a screaming, hot-headed 8-bit gamer, but not Fluffypants. No siree. The enterprising DIY lamp artist looked at the orange and grey plastic and saw a lamp. A few hours and one fabricated cardboard NES cartridge stand later, that laughing dog was back in action, ready to haunt my dreams once again. If this model played the level intro music I’d be tempted to break out the glue gun, but for now I’ll just marvel at its brilliance from afar. [Craftster via Boing Boing Gadgets] More »

Lego Zapper Mod: Everything You Love About Guns, Gaming and Legos
12:20PM Sean Fallon | It doesn’t look like it would be all that comfortable to wield, but we are talking about a Lego zapper mod here – so who really cares. It may not be as comfortable as commercial zappers, but the thing to keep in mind is that it works. And by the looks of things it probably won’t be all that difficult to pull off yourself.

Wii Zapper Hands On (Verdict: Shoot From the Hip)
9:27AM Brian Lam | Nintendo’s gun peripheral has a slot for your Wiimote, and comes with Link’s Crossbow training. It’s no duck hunt, but it’s really fun. The Good: High build quality, battery-less design, fairly accurate, Tommy-gun design of the Wii Zapper makes me feel like Wii Capone. Inexpensive, since it doesn’t introduce electrics, depending on the Wiimote’s exisiting buttons. Fun would be an understatement. The Bad: The “A” button is awkward to hit, any sort of gangster sideways pistol action hurts accuracy. (Like in real life?) Unlike light guns, the Wiimote’s aim does not literally translate into direct targeting; hence, aiming toward the edge of large screens makes accuracy dive. You’re meant to shoot from the hip with this setup. More »
