I know I wouldn’t be winning any tournaments with this thing, but damn, creeping around my apartment all nervous, playing FEAR 2 or something on this gun-mounted, motion-detecting display? Damn, that sounds like fun. An earlier version was put up yesterday, but this new version is wireless and “The Redneck Techie” is talking about putting up a triple-wide display with three pico-projectors on the end of the gun. Why is it that this guy is doing what we all secretly want to do, and not Logitech or Thrustmaster or something?

Sure, it’s kind of ridiculous, but really, it’s a lot less ridiculous than playing with a Wiimote or dual analog sticks. Bonus: Check out all the liquor above his gaming rig.
