Let's face it, the Wii is just too pretty for its own good. The thing is actually smaller than the Xbox 360's HD-DVD appendage and it's quiet and it's cute. And that just won't do. Not when you can add this bag-ass honking antenna to the thing to make sure it can pick up WiFi signals from space.

While the Informit article about hacking an external WiFi antenna to you Wii is informative, it seems a bit pointless to me. The Wii already has an embedded wireless network card with two built in antennas. My Wii is down in the lounge, which is half underground, while my WiFi hub is up on the second floor and I have no problems at all. I suppose this could help if you go camping with your Wii. Oh, and did I mention, the big antenna, it doesn't really boost reception. Worst. Hack. EVER! Brian Crecente

Apparently there is a limit to what game-related shoes I like. These Godfather the Game shoes have got to be the ugliest things I've ever seen. And yes, I'm including the Xbox shoes on that list. Brian Crecente

Today's slow hand clap award goes to Microsoft, responsible for the ugliest console, but also the ugliest game shoes! Who wants to bet wayward Msoft employees are forced to wear these kicks as punishment? Brian Ashcraft

Eliza put out a call, and reader Chris answered. Unfortunately. Here is the ugliest DS case mod on this planet Earth. This oddly duct-taped DS was created by altometer1337 (oh, boy), a member of the Pocket Heaven forums. As soon as he finished wrapping his portable in duct-tap and coloring in the DS symbol with ball-point pen, altometer1337 posted this on Pocket Heaven, where everyone with eyes declared this case mod as truly hideous. Note that altometer1337's post signature is:

I'm really not all that 1337. I just screwed up my first acount.

Your DS, too. Oh, and you also misspelled "account." Brian Ashcraft

Earlier this month, I happened upon an image of a Brazilian dude and his truly hideous Genesis guitar, which I derided. One of our commenters jumped in and said that the dude really rocks. Turns out he does. That guitar is still fugly, though. Brian Ashcraft

Like the King of Pop, this modder just could not leave well enough alone. Had to keep adding, changing, modifying. Couldn't stop, until the Xbox turned into that. Utterly hideous. Brian Ashcraft

Ugly Box [Aeropause]

Costume-crazy blogger Walter Maruyama riffs on the fuglization of the Castlevania series. Maruyama points out the decline in a series of pics. We'll cut to the chase. Above is the "before" artwork. Gothic, moody, perfect. That is, until some Konami goons put the game's look under the knife, giving Castlevania a back-alley face-lift. The sad, sad Michael Jackson "after" shots after the jump.
