Ever wanted to make a custom NES out of a toaster?
The Nintoaster Instructional Video
is a comical making-of video by Richard Daluz. It goes through the making of Daluz's second Nintoaster modelnote in a parody of 80's instructional videos, encouraging other potential hobbyists to try the project. Only if they know what the hell they're doing, though.
Tropes seen in the video include:
- Flipping the Bird: Daluz does this to the narrator after putting on a makeshift anti-static wrist strap.
- Heh Heh, You Said "X": Twice, first about fitting the NES motherboard into tight spaces (giggity), and also near the end of the video when securing screws fashioners, bolts, clips, or knobs (*chuckles* knobs).
- Layman's Terms: Commenting on the original system's cartridge connector:We won't be using it because it's poorly designed. And it sucks.
- Long List: The list of items needed to make a Nintoaster (besides the NES and toaster) includes a "short list of parts":A Phillips head screwdriver; a soldering iron; a desoldering iron; some solder wick; solder; an X-Acto knife; pliers; wire strippers; a drill or similar rotary tool; a digital multimeter; varying lengths of test cable with alligator clip ends; a smaller screwdriver set; a hot glue gun; plenty of extra glue; a lighter, which may come in handy later; epoxy; more epoxy; more epoxy; a good set of drillbits will also come in handy; electrical tape; measuring tape; a pen; painter's tape; Q-tips; extra lengths of spare wiring; and personal fuelnote .
- Running Gag: Whenever a part is recommended to be kept for safekeeping, it just ends up in the trash instead.
