Hey guys,

I hope you enjoyed the computer!

I've got a whole set of pics to share:







Joren (co-builder) with it:


It's at PAX!

Finally, I present the fruit fucker to Gabe and Tycho onstage at PAX06:







It was completely awesome. I loved every minute of PAX.

My blog got linked to on the homepage of HardOCP but if you guys want to see more, I'll pimp a link here:

Check it out, it would me a lot to me!

And THANK YOU ALL for the encouragement! I wonder what I'll do next year...

You and your friend totally rock for making that thing.

Now your next project: Div.

Alcoholic beverages are banned from PAX. I don't see how they could make a true Div.

This is one of the greatest modjobs ever. It would have seen a lot of action during the room party with the NESkimos, when we drank the Everclear & OJ.

Now someone needs to build a giant orange for it to 'interface' with...

Well I'm pretty sure I'm not going to do div. he's just too damn cartoony. The annarchy case and fruitfucker are both fairly easy to nail. Now if only I could think of what to do next year!

If I could get something straight, that would be great. I told people about this and about how it made juice on stage, which Gabe and Tycho drank. In, response, I keep hearing:
"Noooooo way. There has to be a pitcher of juice in there."

So, I ask. Does this device actually have something in it which squeezes the juice from oranges?

I beleive they didn't have enough time to work the kinks out of having such a system in a fully functional computer - it just has a resevoir of juice inside it.

altmann

Alas we only had a reservoir of juice with a handle connected by tubes to the spout.

You see, had it been a stationary unit (i.e. not needing to be fully disassembled and taken to PAX from California) many more things would have been possible. As it is, we had to make the FFer totally collapsible and every piece able to be shipped.

Sorry to disappoint.

P.S. I'm digging through some other pictures so you guys can see the insides as it was at PAX.

Disappoint? Nonsense.

Indeed. That was a great addition to the BYOC room this year, just as Annarchy was in 2005. Keep up the outstanding work, and congratulations on your awards.

...in terms of PA storyline, doesn't Gabe have a modded PC?

Perhaps you could run with that, but I think it had a magical unicorn pegasus flying down a rainbow from outer space on it. Making that look cool would be a real challenge.

Edit: ah, yes... here it is. And it is DIV.


also from that day's newspost:
I will be spending all day today continuing work on my own computer Mod. I don’t want to give away my entire plan just yet, but think PacMan.
