The uncreative like to giggle at those that dare to take risks and be creative.
The uncreative don't realize how much junk is sifted through before the good nuggets of creativity can be tapped into and returned from its mysterious source.
Everyone these days likes to sit on their plastic thrones with the world at their fingertips, but with no actual talent or learned skill to back it up.

The sad part is I would have actually bought one of those things. Wait a second, that's not sad. IT'S A FREAKIN' KNITTING PERIPHERAL FOR THE NES. WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO NOT SELL THESE?!?!?!

Sure its creative, but it does nothing to enhance your video game experience like the Super Scope or the Stylus. I could say it's way too creative to sell or be functional.
It would be cool if it could knit NES graphics, Having a Battletoads or Dr. Wily's Castle blanket would be cool.

Huh. That's freakin' spooky. I was just thinking earlier today, 'Man, you know what I could really use for my NES? A knitting peripheral.' By God, my butt puckered just a little bit in realizing just how close my dream was to being a reality.
In a way they were predating some kinds of hardware we see today for domestic use.
In another way they were predating some useless peripherals a lot of game companies (including nintendo) put out eventually.
Oh well, I like it.

That probably would have went alright on a popular computer like the c64. I recall PD software for generating knitting patterns and other stuff like that.
I like it. It terms of peripherals this yhing actually produces usable items rather than acting as a dust magnet. It would be neat to see what could be done with this idea with current engineering. A bet a modern version could make your Battletoads snuggie dream a reality, ex275w.
That would sew sell like crazy to the guys who do gamecraft or whatever you call the user made stuff they sell on etsy.
This is super fake, you guys get that, right? I'm honestly not sure if it's so fake that you guys are pretend its real, or if it's just not fake enough.
But think about it. What good would connecting the controller to the machine be? The controller is input only, there's no way to output it and how else would the NES be able to output info to the printer and to the television at the same time?

This was uploaded by the original Nintendo Gamemaster, Howard Phillips, the founder of Nintendo Power and creator of the comic character Nester. It's real.
I would have paid a lot of money for this! Antique knitting machines make the best stuff, and the Japanese machines in particular could do amazing things. I bet this one would have crushed them all in pattern-making capabilities. I thought it was real when I saw the headline, and now I'm bummed I can't track one down.
