Continuing the series of "What I've been up to," I present to you DrunkenNES. Created by the great Batsly Adams, with music by Kris Keyser, help from Adam "I soldered three wires" Gets Awesome, as well art by myself, Alex Baderian, and Kathleen Wisneski. As you can see in the above video, DrunkenNES is a homebrewed Nintendo mod featuring a breathalyzer contained in a NES cartridge. Blowing into the cartridge gave you a score based on how much you had drank, then giving you a corresponding bad animal pun:

My images were the dancing robot, based on AdamGetsAwesome and the Facundo screen. I also did a Drunktopus, but I don't think that was added since we premiered the DrunkenNES at February's Pulsewave.

We received an incredible amount of press for the device, including from websites such as Motherboard, Gizmodo, Laughing Squid, Destructoid (which got the name wrong), and my personal favourite, Bit Rebels, which said the following :

"That’s really why three guys set out on a mission to create the very first party game for Nintendo NES.  The three guys are Batsly Adams who is the coder, Kris Keyser who created the chiptune music and artist Emi Spice who’s the Motherboard photographer.  They all got together and created the Breathalyzer Party Game."
