A young man calling himself "KitsuneYume" had this PlayStation 3 interface custom manufactured that allows him to control the vast majority of the buttons and toggles that make gaming possible. An array of widgets, including even a tongue-controlled toggle, were designed by Mark Felling of Gimpgear.us, maker of custom controllers for the disabled like "Sip & Puff Mouth Joysticks" and "Head Tracking Mouse Gaming" systems. (How can you not love a company that has a whole section titled "Pimp Your Wheelchair"?)

Older Mgestyk's gesture-based interface lets you play shooters with your own finger gun
Newer Sprint "Now" widget ad page is momentarily nifty even if you're not using their product

I remember playing Nintendo NES and getting to the 5th level...with my feet.

But sadly, I do have two hands :(
