Chris Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Check your feeds, because it's Contest Time Far from the bright lights of the front page, hiding in the recesses of our RSS syndication, lurks our second Idle News Podblast, With Saitek Cyborg. While I was at DICE, I came across a formidable Cyborg Mouse, equipped with many powerful and exotic features. Listen to the short episode for the whole rundown, then head to the drawing board and create some kind of artwork depicting a cyborg. Then come back to this thread, and post it. The best effort, based on whatever arbitrary criteria we choose to apply, will receive the Cyborg Mouse all for him (or, less likely, her) self. Deadline: We don't know yet, but we'll let you know when it approaches. It has approached! Vote for the winner! Edited March 4, 2009 by Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Devil Tesla Posted February 26, 2009 An idea so good I'm thinking of giving it a sequel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted February 26, 2009 that's not a drawing, it's not even a cyborg but is a mac, with as usual some weird apple peripheral ps, what's up with the "four minutes thirty-three seconds of silence" at the end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Devil Tesla Posted February 26, 2009 that's not a drawing, it's not even a cyborgbut is a mac, with as usual some weird apple peripheral Okay, it's not a drawing (you don't really want to see me draw). But it is a cyborg! The mouse has a robot eye. Also, I'm not sure all macs come with a taxodormy mouse: http://www.instructables.com/id/Mouse-Mouse!/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Devil Tesla Posted February 26, 2009 This will either win me the contest or secure my defeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted February 26, 2009 ps, what's up with the "four minutes thirty-three seconds of silence" at the end? Now that you mention the number of seconds, could it be a reference to this game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted February 26, 2009 Now that you mention the number of seconds, could it be a reference to this game? That game is a reference to the John Cage song called 4'33": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4%E2%80%B233%E2%80%B3 (if you listen very carefully while playing that game you will even hear the song.) And actually, I didn't make that reference. I just recalled a song that was pure silence and looked it up. The silence in the pod blast is more like 2+ minutes. It would have been awesome if it really was 4'33" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gdf Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) I did what every asshole with no imagination or talent and a Windows PC does. Officially, it's the transformation of the Mouse. Unofficially, it's fucking awful. Edited February 27, 2009 by gdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted February 27, 2009 Argh you included a metallicock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SignorSuperdouche Posted February 27, 2009 Argh you included a metallicock. Is that a really obscure spaced reference or am I reading too much into that? Because a spaced reference like that would make you super fucking cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gdf Posted February 27, 2009 This is an excellent way to get people to think less of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OssK Posted February 27, 2009 This is an excellent way to get people to think less of me. Yeah, my animosity towards you just got one step further. I hate your guts, but your cyborg is awesome nonetheless By the way, when you say "Argh you included a metallicock." What does the Argh stand for? Some kind of physic recognition of rough moments you wish you'd never have to remember ? "Argh, not the Metallicock again !" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted February 27, 2009 Is that a really obscure spaced reference or am I reading too much into that? Because a spaced reference like that would make you super fucking cool When I was writing it I was concerned that it would be suspicious to reference a throwaway line of UK TV dialog from 10 years ago, especially on a forum full of British people. Maybe not?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Devil Tesla Posted February 27, 2009 When I was writing it I was concerned that it would be suspicious to reference a throwaway line of UK TV dialog from 10 years ago, especially on a forum full of British people. Maybe not?! You forget that this is a forum full of geeks. On a side note, If I ever got one I'd probably make it bigger and smaller over and over when I'm bored.
