The Hemp-Mote: an Herbalized WiiMote Mod
By Mike Payne
Hemp and video games. Does anything go together better? The enterprising modder DHRECK has moded the first ever WiiMote encased purely in hemp twine. This fully functional WiiMote is covered — from the tip of the Wii chuck all the way to the sensor on the WiiMote — in pure hemp rope. While our days of hemp and video games are in our past, we must give DHRECK a strong salute to this mod, it is certainly an instant classic.
In stark contrast with the original Wii-mote set, what was once sleek, cold, white and hard plastic has now become a slightly fuzzy, natural, warm and textured concoction. No more bland, branded and boring but mottled, flawfull, rough and a tad sweat absorbing.
While your intial response might be to toss in some shells and wrap it around your neck (or to try and smoke it), the Hemp-Mote will fit comfortably into your gaming routine. Naturally, we’re curious about the response of buttons and the stick, but hopeful that their use is not hindered by this mod. In all, this is the most creative thing we’ve seen all day… Kudos, DHRECK. [dhreck]
