The übergeeks in the video used the front screen of a 52-inch rear-projection Mitsubishi TV as their drawing board and then used 'Harbor Freight drills for the twisty knobs, screen-door pulleys and tent poles to control the creation of the illustrations from the backside, some aluminum powder used in the normal-sized Etch A Sketch as "ink" and a golf tee as a stylus.'
Nicely done!

Pogs. Maybe if they were pimped out, kids would actually know what they were supposed to do with them

Cool idea. Making something awesome giant can only result in giant awesomeness.
Should be a stall at games conventions for this, they should take it on the road.
Strangely cut together video though :S
The guy in the left picture at the begining reminds me of Otacon a bit.

That's the most awesome quote ever, if a giant were to say it... (wait, my head hurts..!)
Great though, seriously. Would love to hear Obama say it.
