Hey ModRetro,
I'm AstroTodd, Middle name Todd. Of course, I'm new to ModRetro; despite the fact that I've been doing a lot of lurking and reading for knowledge's sake. Now, I'm called to action for a new purpose.
To make things short and sweet, I'll say some things about myself, then why I'm interested in these forums. 19 years old. Senior in High School. Aspiring Master artist. Video Gamer and Fighting Game Enthusiast. Platformers are cool too. Hate shooters. Trying to learn life.
Now, why I've came.
Reason 1: Techknott. Believe it or not, when I first saw his portables earlier this year, I was amazed by his portable mods. Soon after, I discovered the famous Ben Heck, his book, and his forums. I was immediately drawn in to the world of mods (Especially ShockSlayer and his gadgets on YouTube), and how this was possible, and wanted to soon meet these creators and ask them "infinitely many" questions.
Reason 2: The actual creation of my own portable. At school, my senior career requires me to complete a Capstone project; a study over a field that we are interestred in, but nothing we are expert over. The Capstone requires an expert in the area of interest to be a mentor(s). At the moment I have a few candidates. As for a subect of interest, I've gone from entrepreneurship to graphic novels to marriage counseling
. None of them hit me hard. That was until I found ModRetro. I stayed up til 4 AM reading stickies and other useful information. Then, it hit me! I'll do
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING!
I know with the help of my mentor and assistance at ModRetro, I'll have no problem adjusting to this field and getting to know more about it, in order to make my own portable. Yes, I know it costs money. Yes, it may be time consuming, and yes it may be difficult, especially for a beginner. I have money, I'm gonna be given time inside of school to do it (and out), and I'm gonna take it on no matter how difficult. Call me optimisitc/idealistic.
So, that's pretty much me in a nutshell, and why I'm here. I hope to become a regular here at ModRetro. And I hope we can all get along!
We can fight the evil with LOVE!
BTW... Did I mention that I wanted to make a
Gamecube Portable???
