Given all the fascination with LED's around here lately, I thought this might spark some imagination.

Well, so much for my plan to surprise you guys with my animated LED side art.

Now I'll have to come up with something else.   :hissy:

Oh, I think this has to be incorporated into my new bar.  Wowee.  Looks like I have some reading to do.  :applaud:

Let me guess, you had 127 out of 128 LEDs installed already when you saw this, right?

yeah I'm going to vote Annoying for the CP here.  it'd be impossible to play without having a seizure.


However, I'd love to put this into a bar top (or base), but it's not cheap.  Looks like costs are in the thousands for some of these projects.   It's a cool idea. :)

Yeah, but that's what people said about light-up trackballs, light-up buttons, light sequenced buttons, etc.

I dunno, I think if I could coordinate one of these with a cabinet in the same room, sporting an LED-wiz, you might have something pretty damn cool.

I agree I think things are getting carried away with the whole blinky light thing.... Not that there's anything wrong with that.   Just doesn't bring back memories of my arcade days.  Perhaps some are more inclined to the days of the butterfly collar.

Damn where did the afro emoticon go.
