So, shortly after I set my [GeneBoy] on the Internet world stage via [Hack-a-Day], I am once again in the headlines as accessory to creation with friend and fellow moderator of the [Made-By-Bacteria Forums], [Evil Nod]!

As some may have noticed, a couple months ago I did a case commission for [Evil Nod] for his Mega Drive II (Genesis II in the US) commission he was doing for another member. The timing just so made it that we ended up in a bit of a race to see who could complete theirs first. I ended up winning by closing my system up and getting the posts out, but in all fairness, he would have beaten me pretty good if the mail hadn’t slowed his progress. And with that said, his also had several more features than mine did which of course added to the time.

But anyway, that’s all aside now and not only was my project picked up on the technology news site [Hack-a-Day] (which like [Engadget], [Hack-N-Mod] and other news sites that write up articles for their thousands upon thousands of readers to view), but [Evil Nod’s] project was picked up this morning as well!

Check the links and video below as I was given some very generous shout-outs and it’s feeling good to be in the Geek News twice in as many weeks!

Well this could not have gone any better! On December 25th, 2011; Jonathan (Tchay) Shine posted a video of his finished Game Cube Portable that he’d been working on for nearly a year. And man, did he Rock It!

Not only was his You Tube video a viral hit (almost to the 100K mark so far) but his work log on the Mod Retro forums hit count reached a whopping 88K and climbing. Put in in perspective, some of the most successful topics only reach 8 to 10K and even that was doing damn well!

Needless to say, this was the start of something great for this site as well because not only did he post a credit to me and this site in is You Tube video and in his forum posts, but he let me know what it felt like that know 100s of thousands of people are now looking at something I had a hand in creating! Even if most them aren’t aware, this sites stats have hit three new high hit records since then!

This has also in turn opened the door to do even more work for some of the biggest names in the field of modding and 2012 looks like it’s gonna be a great year for the hobby!

Anyway, my project is getting closer to done. Unexpected obstetrical have hit but are being over come. Shortly that will be finished and then I’ll be able to start back up on a few smaller repair and house projects that have taken second place to the desk. But here is a video of the video by Tchay and I must say he did a damn fine job on it!
