Quantcast



It's funny how you often meet people on the Internet through unusual and fleeting circumstances. 

For example, weeks ago I'd heard that they were making a Tucker Max movie so I checked out the site, bracing myself for a story about sorostitute midgets doing helicopter spins on him in a stolen hearse.  Instead, his blog was about how the Chicago Transit Authority had pulled all of the I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell ads because they found the ad campaign was demeaning to women. I look at the banner and it says "Strippers will not tolerate disrespect. (Just Kidding)."  Is this really worse than the "I support single moms" shirts that the cool kids wear to school? They were looking for people to help spread the word (and I'm always a sucker for the underdog) so I got in touch, and to my surprise they had a gaming story for me. There was a Halo cameo in the movie with something special too: a unique controller made just for the film.

Legendary game hardware hacker Benjamin Heck was approached by the movie's prop people for a "highly customized Xbox 360 controller for a game-obsessed character".  The controller didn't actually have to be functional, but knowing Ben he absolutely did make it real -- and gave them two for backup. Destructoid is now happy to bring you the exclusive clip of Drew raping someone with it in Halo. Warning: it has NSFW language, but nothing your baby nephew doesn't already say on Xbox Live. 

Surprisingly, the controller looks rather comfortable and practical.  I think I want it (also, inside of me).

Ben Heck gets Hollywood cred!
That guys work needs more exposure. And an actual licensing deal through Mad Catz or another 3rd-party company for his obviously inspired and practical design aesthetic.

God I love Ben Heck. I had an oppurtunity to document his PS3 laptop once for a blog and couldn't because of school. He was a pretty cool guy albeit quiet.

I'm surprised he doesn't just go into the third party Peripheral business for real instead of just doing his own projects, he's obviously has talents many are lacking in the field.

see, now why can't we actually have slick controllers like that? I've always wanted a controller that could actually use all of my fingers and was comfortable and designed smartly. This guy is good.

Thats a sexy controller.

I read a few Tucker Max stories a long time ago and was surprised to see they made a movie based off the guy in those stories.

@falinter: Really? Tucker Max isn't exactly my jam, personally, but I can definitely see the broad appeal held by the tales of a complete and utter scumbag, told well.

Hahaha he made a Wii 360 controller. That's something I liked about the Wii controller + chuk actually, it's just pretty comfortable for playing normal games with a piece in each hand like that. I want one of those controllers.

I have tremendous respect for Ben Heck, but he got paid for THAT?! Putting the guts of an Xbox controller into a PVC pipe and pasting a black rubber pad to it? That's not worthy of the standards set by his other insanely awesome creations.

And who is Tucker Max?! Really, fellas?

Too bad this movie is painfully, awkwardly unfunny.
