The man is movin' on up!

I like his work, and attention to detail.

Neat.  I noticed there hasn't been any of his podcasts on the feed for awhile.

Anybody see his video of the 5200 portable with the pole position demo?  Cool!

just because he does good work doesnt mean I wanna see his ugly face. Thats a little harsh, lemme try again. The show is ---smurfing--- boring but the end results are pretty neat. Still harsh, I know, but thats not my fault. He needs to hire a writer, and a make up artist.

I agree with you somewhat, although I would prefer more time dedicated to the construction rather than watch men in make up.

Thats what I was trying to say but just couldnt articulate it as well. If the show was more about the process and less about him being a dork, i could be down with it.  Yeah the 360 laptop was neat but thats about the only really remarkable thing he's done.

Eh, it's fine for what it is. I think the guy has a pretty good imagination when it comes to console mods, and this show is a nice high level overview into his creative process, without giving too many of his secrets away.

I imagine the show will get better as time goes on. This is just the first episode.

Besides, I don't know about you guys, but I don't really watch DIY shows for "good looking guys" and witty writing. Unless thats what floats your boat.

I enjoyed it.  The goofiness might have been too much for some but I thought it helped break things up.  Great to see an Atari 800 on his desk.

I could have done without the Bears comment though.  Truth hurts.

I watch em to learn to DIY, not watch a dorky guy act dorky.  Its like if they showed bob villa at a broken cottage, then 55 minutes of him thinking and joking around, and at the end, the place is fixed up.
