Fan mods his iTouch, gets his own Pip-Boy 3000 photo

#Fallout #Things gamers do

The Pip-Boy 3000 is by far one of the coolest gadgets I can imagine owning, and it's no surprise to me that some crafty guy with a little spare time on his hands might try to create the real thing. YouTube user larpcast uploaded a video (see after the jump) of a fully functional Pip-Boy, created using the one that came with the Amazon.com exclusive version of the game and an iTouch. Mix throughly and tah-dah, your very own Pip-Boy!

This guy ought to consider manufacturing these out of his basement -- I can imagine quite a few people might want to own one. All this talk has made me itchy to finish Fallout 3, which has been sitting pretty on my shelf for a while now, not to mention I haven't even touched any of the DLC yet. So much to play, so little time....

Finger lickin' good.

Korolev

Pretty damn impressive - however, I hope he has a way of taking is iTouch out of that case, because I wouldn't want to have to drag around a Pip-Boy sized thingy everytime I go outside.

Xhumation

That kicks massive amounts of nuclear ass

Mr Wrighty 987

nice but very geeky!

Trevkor

I love it. It had to take a pretty decent amount of work to make.

trickfred

...Did he just say 'Sony iTouch'?

Doomsday Forte

He needs to jailbreak his Touch. Why? Because of themes. Like this:

This one's mine. :3 The background is even animated, with a scanline going down the screen every few seconds. It's pretty neat, it's the only theme I use, and it comes with just about every icon in the game to use.

Corican

I'd love a Sony iTouch

Kaspar

iTouch.
Wait, wat?

welkstar

I don't know why, but it bothers me when people say "iTouch". It's the "iPod Touch".

MrSlippery

That is awesome.

zanthox

Amazing, really makes me wish I had got the survival ed. Not that I have an ipod touch.

RAB

Itouch myself

Matthew Razak

Awesome in my face.

BMK

Awesomegazzum

TheStripe

What's an iTouch?

Dimly

Seems pretty cool. I wonder if he wears it around like that. I would

Chronic Logic

That is a sweet iphone mod, but can he fit it in his pocket? I don't think so, I guess he's just gonna have to strap it on his arm, old school style.

Anybody here has a replica Pipboy clock from the collector's edtion? I was thinking of getting one, but people say that they keep getting faulty broken ones.

witthaus

Pretty cool, but I'm more interested in Doomsday Forte's jailbroken theme. @ Doomsday Forte: awesome, simply awesome!

witthaus

That's pretty cool, but I'm more interested in Doomsday Forte's jailbroken theme. @ DF: Awesome! Simply awesome!

Timstuff

Sony's iTouch is crap. I'd rather use Apple's PodStatation!

Monodi

@Doomsday Forte

the Facebook and Safari icons should be exchanged

Doomsday Forte

Oh my, thanks. I, uh, didn't think it'd get that big of a response. There are plenty of themes out there, and there are four colorings of this one (green, blue, amber, white ala FO3), though I stuck with green for some reason. I wish I could say something like "I made this" but I was browsing stuff on Cydia and liked it, thus it stayed forever.

Monodi: The Safari one is by default, but I used the icon for Facebook as an oh-so-subtle hint of my feelings towards it. =P I wound up not changing the default icons for anything, though whether I will or not I dunno yet.

gladstone

I would hardly call that thing "fully functional." It's just a series of static images displayed on the iPod Touch's screen.

LilJimmyNordin

Gladstone's right. It'd be "fully functional" if the dials and whatnot worked. It's still cool, in a Hallowe'en costume kind of way, but not really "fully functional." Not even really "functional".

Darkanubis87

cool ass! er wait. Shitin Awesome! damn, um. too good to explain in word thingys.

10dvkz

I hate it when people call it the "iTouch". it sounds kind of stupid for a cool iPod. Even in WikiPedia it says that it is incorrectly called the "iTouch". Here is the exact quote: "The iPod Touch(trademarked and marketed as iPod touch, but sometimes incorrectly referred to as iTouch) is a personal digital assistant, portable media player, and Wi-Fi mobile platform designed and marketed by Apple Inc."

bermensch

lol sony itouch

now he just needs to make an app for it to make it look super legit, then he could sell them like crazy

FalconReaper

Alright I'll admit it, that was fucking awesome
