If you were a child of the 80s and grew up to equal amounts of blue jeans, New Wave and Glam rock, then you're definitely one of the people whose childhoods have been touched by one of Nintendo's most fun gadgets of the 80s: The NES Zapper! Otherwise known as the Famicom Light Gun, this timeless contraption was sold as part of the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985 and the Famicom in 1984. With its unusual sci-fi look and feel, it made countless shooting games the fun they otherwise wouldn't have had. Who doesn't remember those guilty pleasure cheating sessions where you would just change the brightness and contrast of your television set for supreme blasting?
However times have changed and the games these days aren't exactly 'Duck Hunt', 'Operation Wolf' or 'Hogan's Alley' anymore. With the introduction of such high-power platforms as the Playstation 3, the Nintendo Wii, and the Xbox 360, I figured that there wasn't much of a future for the good old NES Zapper. But boy was I wrong! As I was about to auction my old reliable out for collectors, it suddenly hit me that I could do some pretty cool stuff with it.
I decided that if it would be the most awkward thing in the whole world to bang away at my old NES, then I would definitely have more of a wonderful time if I could play games like Duck Hunt on my PC instead. But would blasting ducks on my screen be as fun without the old-school NES Zapper? Hell no! So what I did was I combined my mouse and my NES Zapper for some extra pawnage! And for the days that I'm really down and I just feel like I want to annihilate a whole troop of the avian species, I fitted my NES Zapper with a laser pointer for hours of harmless fun. Just don't tell that to the ducks!
There are in reality so many things you can do with your old NES Zapper and any old gaming console accessory that you have at home. All it takes is just a little creativity to relive the good old days of shoot-em-up!
If you want more tips on what to do with the old NES Zapper that's lying around the house (and other cool life tips), you should definitely visit:

Weather patterns on planet Earth, the everyday conditions experienced by plants and animals, are the product of a complex set of factors that work together and against each other to produce certain results. For centuries men and women fascinated by weather have tried to forecast conditions for the following day or the next week. Efforts have been made to put together long-range plans for precipitation and temperature for a year or more in the future.
Fortunately, in recent years, advancement in computer technology and measuring devices has allowed more accurate weather prediction than ever before. Along with a greater understanding of the laws of physics, human beings have benefited from information gathered by weather satellites. The mass of information from these orbiting recording stations is now more efficiently handled by the powerful computers assembled for just this task. Add to this the dozens of specialized aircraft, ships and remote reporting stations and scientists are beginning to understand just what creates Earth's unique climate conditions.
But what have human beings learned from all of this measurement and observation? One of the key facts uncovered is that the atmosphere that sustains life on Earth is an amazingly thin layer of protection. Yet this thin layer is actually composed of several distinct layers, five that we are aware of so far. The first was identified as recently as 1899.
While there are five separate pieces to the atmospheric puzzle, the level closest to Earth is the breeding ground for nearly all the weather. The troposphere literally starts at ground level and extends up to 10 miles above the Earth's surface. Careful study and observation indicate that this layer is thinnest near the North Pole and South Pole, while it extends almost twice as high at the equator.
Meteorologists and other scientists working in this specialized field have found that, in the troposphere, temperatures gradually decrease with altitude (4 degrees for each 1,000 feet). At the outer edge of this first layer, where temperatures can be as low as -70 degrees (Fahrenheit) the boundary is called the tropopause.
Beyond this life-sustaining layer is the stratosphere, which reaches to an altitude of about 30 miles. Temperatures change drastically through this level, increasing 40 degrees or more in some cases. Scientists have also found that the protective ozone layer so familiar to most people, is located in the stratosphere (about 15 miles above the Earth's surface).
Beyond these first two levels are: the mesosphere - this layer extends about 50 miles above the surface; the thermosphere or ionosphere, where temperatures can be close to 3,000 degrees. It is interesting to note that this layer provides a lot of protection for life on Earth, usually burning up meteors and other objects that pass through. At the far reaches of the known levels is the exosphere, composed of different kinds of gases that often escape into what is commonly known as outer space.
Even with the best measuring instruments, accurate weather predication and observation would not be possible without cooperation from the various countries around the world. Weather systems and huge air masses move around the globe and it is important for observers to know about conditions in other regions. One result of this cooperation is the World Meteorological Organization, formed more than 50 years ago to build a weather database on a global scale.
Just as the layers of the atmosphere work together to sustain life on Earth, nations of the world work together to continue learning about Earth's weather.
