"Yes! It's finished!", Gustav cried from within the bowels of his Swedish classroom. Viktor rushed into the room as Gustav's fists still pumped in triumph. "What, what is it my friend?" he asked, quizzically staring at the monstrosity on the desk. "Well, it's a giant NES controller," Gustav said with a snort, as if Viktor had just asked Sweden's chief export, which everyone knew was machinery.

"But why would you make this?" Viktor exclaimed, his patience waning. "Well, it's also a computer!" Gustav replied with vigor. "But it's the size of a small car, how could this be practical? And you spent the Swedish equivalent of $300 US dollars on it, it could barely run Quake II. Besides, Gustav, you already have a computer," Viktor said as he left the room. "Yes, but ... it's ... a controller," Gustav replied to no one but himself as his fists began to tire. But perhaps hoping it would reaffirm the resolve he felt just five minutes prior, the pumping continued.
