			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2009/11/500x_NEStickle005.jpg" alt="" class="left" />Reader Osama D&#8217;s French friend built him this fighting stick out of a Nintendo Entertainment System, before leaving for his home country for good. You know, when I say goodbye to folks, I usually just buy a card or something.<span id="more-365612"></span></p>
<p>Osama calls it The NEStickle (not to be confused with <a href="http://www.zophar.net/nes/nesticle.html">the NES emulator</a>) because, well, why not. It&#8217;s not like FightDeck or TurboConsole&#8217;s gonna make this look any less weird. The NES controller houses the stick&#8217;s USB cable, and it&#8217;s compatible with all consoles and PC.</p>
<p>Osama says Nicolas, his friend, had to carve a reinforced interior from wood &#8220;using nothing but his laser vision. This insures that I don&#8217;t over-zealously cave the NES in while pressing hard on those buttons when I&#8217;m losing badly to a cheap-ass who won&#8217;t stop throwing me.&#8221;</p>
<p>You can see more pics of the NEStickle and its construction over at the link.<br />
