Quantcast



 
I like mods in general, but mod the NES into anything at all and you've got my attention. I have a bit of a soft spot for the system, in case you haven't noticed by now. The modder decided to give his NES a revamp Punisher-style. Between the deliciously glossy coat of black paint and the sexy new look of the controllers, I have to admit I drooled a little.
 
It's currently on Ebay with a start price of $99, which doesn't seem overly pricey to me considering the work and time that went into it. What do you think -- is this the type of thing you would shell out your hard-earned cash for?

Proving my theory correct in that nearly everything looks better with The Punisher symbol stamped on it, muwahaha!

I'm almost fucking crazy enough to bid a 100 bucks on the fucking thing. If it had been a top loader, I already would have bidded on it.

Yeah...that's a pretty weak mod. Some glossy paint and 2 leds? That must've been one heck of a half of an afternoon to construct that masterpiece...

Looks pretty badass to me. Bitchers can go post pics of their own mods if they're so great...

And the music sounds like Edward's theme from FFIV at the end there.

The Punisher logo isn't something I'd particularly want on my gaming console. The glossy black, on the other hand, is very sexy.

Well, let's see what you bitches can do. Put up, or shut up.

That's easy. Paint a retro gaming console, slap on a decal everyone will orgasm over, then it will be hailed as the best thing ever!

I must admit, it is rather sexy.

What a little tease. XD

It sure is sexy. I bet I can mod a NES myself.

Oh, that's right! I'm modding a NES and a Game Boy right now.
