Tupperware Controller Gives You the Edge in 'Street Fighter IV'

by Evan Shamoon on March 26, 2009 at 04:48 PM



If you are one of the millions of people who now own copies of 'Street Fighter IV,' you've surely noticed that the standard Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers kind of suck for most 2D fighting games. Unfortunately, the alternatives -- namely a host of arcade sticks and controllers from MadCatz -- are completely sold out, and fetching ridiculously high prices on eBay.

What's your favorite video game console?
Nintendo Wii6382 (52.0%)
Xbox 3602867 (23.4%)
PlayStation 32150 (17.5%)
I'm not sure874 (7.1%)


So what's a player to do? Well, if you've got lots of time and a love for Tupperware, you can make your own. A TechEBlog reader named Madison submitted photographic evidence of this DIY masterpiece to the site. This bad boy might be a work in progress, but at least it's built to handle the inevitable barrage of crumbs and spilled beverages that will undoubtedly come its way. [From: Techeblog Via: Dvice]


Death of Print

    Elle Girl
    In April 2006, Elle Girl's print edition was closed down, but the Web site lives on at ellegirl.com.

    CosmoGirl
    Though it will be folded into Seventeen magazine, the teen version of Cosmopolitan will publish its last print issue in December 2008. It will live on at CosmoGirl.com.

    Christian Science Monitor
    Founded in 1908 by Mary Baker Eddy, this venerable paper will move all its daily content to the Web starting in 2009, though it will still publish a weekly print version.

    Radar Magazine
    Was it too snarky for its own good? We'll never know, but this modern-day successor to '80s-era Spy magazine shut down in October. AMI, owner of the National Enquirer, bought RadarOnline.com, however, which will focus on celebrity gossip a la TMZ.com.

    US News and World Report
    Once a serious competitor to Time and Newsweek, US News and World Report is now best known for its College guides, which it will continue to publish. The weekly newsmagazine, however, will be turned into a monthly, and all daily operations are moving to the Web at usnews.com.
