The Mood Ring Controller: A Revolutionary Gaming Accessory

Lame, everyday controller getting you down? Pick up your mood with the mood ring controller! This innovative gaming accessory is not just a novelty, but a game-changer that will revolutionize the way we interact with our gaming consoles. As Evan and Katelyn, two enthusiastic gamers, discovered, this controller has the power to transform the gaming experience into a sensory adventure.

The Concept Behind the Mood Ring Controller

As Evan and Katelyn explained, the mood ring controller is thermochromatic, meaning that its color changes with temperature. This innovative technology allows the controller to detect the user's emotions and respond accordingly. When you're holding it, if you're really cool and have no pressure at all, and you know you're going to win, it will stay cool. However, if you get really hot and nervous, it's going to show. So, you gotta keep your cool.

The Science Behind the Mood Ring Controller

To understand how this works, Evan and Katelyn used thermochromatic fluid with thermotropic crystals. They explained that thermochromatic is a type of material that changes color in response to temperature changes. The thermotropic crystals are responsible for this change, and they work by shifting their molecular structure in response to heat or cold.

Taking Apart the Old Xbox Controller

As Evan began to disassemble the old Xbox controller, Katelyn couldn't help but comment on its nostalgic value. "I just love this controller," she said. "This is the controller from my childhood." The controller was released 14 years ago and had been Evan's favorite gaming accessory since high school. As they carefully removed the stickers and other components, Evan joked that he almost forced it too much when trying to disassemble the controller.

The Inside of the Old Xbox Controller

As Evan and Katelyn peered inside the old controller, they were met with a sight that was both fascinating and intimidating. "Some crusty bits," Evan quipped, "Maybe that's the glue holding it together." The inside of the controller was surprisingly well-preserved, considering its age. As they carefully removed the innards, they discovered a treasure trove of tiny components that worked in harmony to bring the gaming experience to life.

Painting the Mood Ring Controller

With the guts of the old Xbox controller revealed, Evan and Katelyn were ready to give it a new lease on life. They chose a magical beige color for their mood ring controller, which would serve as the foundation for their innovative project. As they prepared to paint the controller, Evan couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation.

The Future of Gaming Accessories

As Evan and Katelyn embarked on their mission to create the ultimate mood ring controller, they were well aware that they had a lot of work ahead of them. However, with their enthusiasm and creativity, there was no doubt that they would succeed in creating something truly revolutionary. The mood ring controller is not just a novelty; it's a game-changer that will transform the way we interact with our gaming consoles.

colorswith your mood!KATELYN: Colortastic!Now I'm in the mood,BOTH: To win!(explosion)Hey, guys, we'reEvan and Katelyn.Today we are taking avery old Xbox controller,and we're gonna turnit into a mood ringthat you can playvideo games with.Yeah, basically it'sgonna be thermochromatic,which means that its colorchanges with temperature.So when you're holdingit, if you're really cool,and you have no pressure at all,and you know you're gonnawin it, it'll stay cool.I'm not sure that'show it works.Body temperature's stilllike a minimum heat.No, no, but if you're likereally good, it won't change.But if you get really hotand nervous, it's gonna show.So you gotta keep your cool.So we're gonna be usingthis thermochromatic.We're gonna be using like,Thermochromatic, thermotropic,thermochromatic fluidwith thermotopic crystals.Right now it just lookslike a bottle of beige,but I promise, it'sgonna be really cool.EVAN: That's themagic right there.Yeah, so we'll get into howthis works in a little bit.But I think first, we need totake apart our controllers.And why this controller inparticular, you might ask?Old, old Xbox controller!This is the old, likeXbox 360 controller.We have an Xbox One here,we have the PS4 here,we have multipleSwitch controllers.Why not some of these?I just love this controller.This is the controllerfrom my childhood.I'm gonna try to be carefulwhile disassembling this.You wanna get some beautyshots of me skillfully,Peeling off a sticker?How old is this controller?I looked this up, andthis kind of blew my mind.2005, this wasreleased 14 years ago.We were in high school.(playful music)Do you wanna put yourfancy wriststrap onso you won't shockthe controller?Aw man, you know what's gonnabe potentially really gross?Inside of this controller,after 14 years.(Evan grunts)Some crusty bits.Oh, god, maybe that's theglue holding it together.Come on, don't break.(Evan laughs)Man, I almostforced it too much.Okay, that's much better.Wait.Oops.What do you mean 'oops'?No, that's okay, that's okay.Online this stayedmounted below.All right, so I'm just gonnatake these off one by one.Aw look at those,those are so cute.Aw, I love them!Get out of there.Go on, get!Carefully flip these over.Oh, the guts.(laughs) Oh, we'lldeal with that later.That was really easy, thatwas really pretty easy.All right this is it.Is it time to paint?It's time to paint.With the magical beige?With the magical beige.I thought you were gonna say,\"With the magical beige.\"With the magical 'baydge'!(both laugh)With the magical 'baydge'.♪ Science adjacentwith Evan and Katelyn ♪♪ Yeah ♪KATELYN: Such an odd rainbow.EVAN: Yep.All right, so thismagic stuff works,because inside ofthis goop are thermo-,-tropic crystalsThermotropic.Liquid crystals, yes.And basically, as thetemperature changes,they actually twist,like physically twist,which changes what lightis reflected, or absorbed,which changes the colors.It's a very interestingrange of colors,cause I notice things,like purple is twice.Yellow is twice.And so this is only from60 degree Fahrenheitto 90 degree Fahrenheit.Yeah, but that works greatfor your hands and stuff,cause you're hand aren'tlike 100 or 98 or you know,98.6?Yeah.Your hands are perfect forshowing what mood you're in,because when you'recold or anxious,your hands do get a lot colder.Did you have moodrings back in the day?I totally had a mood ring.Okay, yeah, no, me too.I might have, I don't know.Okay, back to it.All right guys, so to applythis magical liquid crystals,we are using an airbrushfor the very first time.Magic goop.It's so, just liketerrible looking.It looks like coffee.Oh, I mean, it's sodelicious looking.Like once you, (both scream)This is a really,really cheap airbrush.It's like $20, but I figuredwe should probably startwith basics before wego really advanced.Katelyn has a much morerefined touch than I do.I might go a little bit extra.So here's the tricky thing.So this doesn't just sprayon in a nice, even sheet,as if you're spraypainting something.It kind of formslittle droplets.At least in the YouTubevideo we looked up.So you have to dry it asyou go with a heat gun.And if the droplets get too big,if you spray it,and it's too heavy,the crystals just like fall off.I think.So we'll see.I think it's suppose to lookterrible for like a bit.One really important partabout this whole process:You need to startwith something black,otherwise they won't show up.Okay, are we ready,is this rolling?It's rolling.Should I just dolike six inches away?Yeah, do it.(playful musuic)Nothing's coming out.Oh, oh, I'm seeing some drops!Yeah, I'm seeingdrops, okay, okay.I'm seeing drops, okay.Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.Yay!At least it looks like it'sgetting wet with something.I mean, it doesn'tlook like much.Oh, let's see ifit changes color.Oh, it's changing!Do you see that?!Oh my gosh, oh I see it!Oh, even just withlike one coat.Oh my gosh, that's really cool.That is so satisfying.Can you see it?I think it'll get more dramatic.Don't get it too hot.You're not suppose to dry itin one place for too much.Oh, that is amazing already.That's really cool.Okay, should I do the other one?Yeah, whoo, okay, it's working.(Evan claps)Is it bad that now I'm lookaround at everything blackand thinking, \"Oh, we canadd that to this too.\"We might as well.Yeah, just start addingit to everything.So the sponsor ofthis

don't, don't, no!How many coats youthink, like three?Let's do three or four.It doesn't bead as much as itdid in the video tutorials.Maybe we just havea better airbrush.I think we just havea better airbrush.This $20 deal right here, yes.Well the greatthing about this is,since this is water-based,and we're drying it as we go,There's no wait time really.There's no big wait time, yeah.Oh no, look at the color change.It is changing colors.Oh, look at that.(Katelyn laughs)I can't wait till we hold it,and it leaves handprints on there.It's crazy that you canjust buy this stuff.It seems like sucha magical formula,like when you're littleand you have a mood ring.Yeah, it's like'what magic is this'?It was literally magic.(Evan laughs)What do you think,should we keep going?I think it's good.All right, so theseliquid crystals right herearen't the most durable.It's just like water carryingthese liquid crystals,you need to protect it,with some sort ofenamel or glaze.You also have to keep in mind,the thicker coatingyou put over it,the longer it willtake for the heatto get to the liquid crystals.Yeah, so you might not wantto put a thick coatof resin on over itif you want it to registerthe change more immediately.Exactly.Also, with something like this,you don't want it too thick,cause it might notgo together again.That's also true.So let's just not do too many.Oh, oh, it's scary.I know.Let's go light.(playful music)Okay, so let it dry.We'll see if we needanother coat of this.We should probably do at leastthree coats of the glaze.If so, we'll knock that out.Please don't let the papertowels fall on that, oh my gosh.(playful music)(record scratch)Katelyn, I have a confession.Okay.You remember how we lookedon the back of this bottle,and it says don't touch for 24hours to avoid fingerprints,and we agreed?Did you touch it?I've been messingwith it a little bit.I haven't left any fingerprints,but I've just hadthis nagging worrythat something has gone wrong.Okay.So I tested this finishwith the heat gun,and there's barelyany change at all.(heat gun blows)It also has less of a range.So what I did is, just so Iwouldn't mess with this anymore,I started a new one,our remote controlwith the same pigment.And everything was looking good.The heat gun dideverything nicely,but now look at this,(heat gun blows)after I put the finish on.Do you see the splotchiness?It is a little splotchy.So do you think that thefinish is incompatiblewith the pigment?Okay.So I'm gonna go andget another clear coat.You know we really shouldhave started experimentingon something that wasn't acontroller or a remote control.Just like a piece of wood.We always do that on somany of our projects.We do the experimentand then the final.Yeah, what made us soconfident in this one.(silly music)All right, so I gotcrystal clear enamel,which hopefully will do better.I guess it's color-changingcause it's cooling it right now.Hopefully this doesn'tdissolve and just go awaylike the other one did.So before spraying this on,we did some new fresh coatsof pigment on this backso that we have a clean slateover the initial triple thickglaze to try the new enamel.It's looking somuch better already.And it's still drying,but look at this.It's a lot less splotchy,and it's a lot more reactive.It's so much more reactive.It's night and day,compared to the controller.But that could also be partiallybecause we did abunch more pigment.We did do a bunchmore pigment but,But it's not separating.In the end, the only thingthat matter is weknow how to do it now.Do we?We'll find out soon if weknow how to do it for real.Okay, so it's been a little bitof an emotional roller coaster.Great highs and low lows,but I think we figured out twothings with this remote test.Use a lot more pigmentthan we initially thought.A lot, like heavy drops.Heavy drops.Heavy coverage.Multiple coats.And then use,Enamel instead of glaze.Yeah, which is more compatible.All right, now it's timeto do everything again,but this time, do it right.Probably fast, probablywith a montage.Probably with a montage.(rock music)So much more pigment.It was like wet, but now,It wasn't beige, now it's beige!It's beige, baby!♪ Montage, montage ♪It already looksso much more vivid.That's how to get a far outshot, it's just a giant elbow.Oh, that looks so cool.Oh, that is so satisfying.It's very psychedelic.It's way more.Final spray.Final spray.Logic tells me I've done it,and it shouldn'tmess anything up,and yet, I'm still nervous.Ready?Okay, so for the final test,just to see if ourfingerprints show up,I put the controller inthe freezer. (laughs)So then it can gothrough the full range.Okay, I'm gonna goget it real quick.Oh, that's gonna be coldif it touches your belly.Look at this, it'scompletely black.Looks like wedidn't do anything.Completely black,okay, now hold it.Oh, it's so cold.It's been in thefreezer for a while.Okay, should I release?Wait, wait, Iwanna zoom in more.Ready?Yeah.Oh, a little bit, it's too cold.Real test coming soon, inseveral minutes from now.(both yell)Oh my gosh, I love it,it's even up on the edges.Oh, that's so cool.Hey, so it will workwhen we're playing gameson our gaming channel.(upbeat music)Well guys, this is in some waysmuch easier than we thought,and in other ways, wayharder than we thought.But I'm glad we have it.And I hope you guys wereinspired to go out thereand make your ownthermochromatic objects.I know I'm gonna be lookingat everything around us now.You can do anything.I think we're gonna bedoing the same thing.We still have halfa bottle left.And now we can officiallyfight over the controllerover on our gaming channel.Mm-hm,YouTube.com/evenandkatelyngamin,that's were we haveall the highlightsfrom our games that we play.If you wanna watch some games,you can check themout over there,and we'll see youguys next time.Bye!Bye!(beep)Oh look, there it is.Put some meat on there.Cooked mutton, I'm gonna eat it.How do I eat?Look at this guy, I likethis protector right here.I want that helmet.He has style,grace,And beauty, charm, even.I gotta chop itinto a burger, no!I just fell off.And who is eating out ofthe back of a moving truck?Come on, logistics,let's get real people.It changes color with your mood.It changes color with your mood.Okay, maybe not.Do whatever feels best to you.It changes colorswith your mood.With your mood!Changes colors with your mood!No, you don't wanna sound goofy.Be like a cool kid now.Change colors with your mood!\n"
