One fine day good ol’ C-Tzar was very “disappoint” with his old game port style flight sim gaming joystick so with some fine tuned hackery he custom modified the ye olde Suncom 18 button 2 axis joystick from its original state to a new HID joystick/keyboard/mouse combo by removing all of its original components and custom designing an Atmega usb 32u4 board of his own making to control all the inputs. Its new functionality allows it to not only be a custom gaming controller but a fully functional one handed controller device for gaming and not gaming alike. These new added features allow him to setup custom schemes for older dos games allowing for easier use with games allowing mouse, keyboard, joystick or all 3 at the same time. All features are usable in and outside of games alike for easy of use with whatever applicable implementation one could think of now into the future.
Immediately after its release in 2003 The Room was rightfully mocked and ridiculed as one of the worst movies since Plan 9 from Outer Space, and cult audiences have loved hating it ever since. In the spirit of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, fans have organized showings to share their love and tear the movie to shreds. It’s never been so much fun to hate a movie.
From the Guardian- “A movie whose transcendent awfulness has made it a cult phenomenon.”
Members of Makers Local 256 are hosting a screening of The Room at Huntsville’s Flying Monkey Arts Center on Friday, December 3rd. The movie starts at 9pm, tickets are $10 at the door of the Monkey’s second floor theater and concessions will be available. There will be audience participation throughout the screening. Bring spoons!
If you’d like to learn more about the audience participation, the Onion’s AV Club has an excellent write-up.
