From the NPod write-up. Another clue:

Just noticed this. Looks like a C64p, although I wonder what the one we "wouldn't believe" him about is.

Well, I bet it could it be anything other than a XBoxp? Everything but that has been proven possible. I, personally would believe everything else, dunno about you. Or it could be a gannon collaboration with those Atari PCBs.

I always had a great XBp Idea similar to another theory on these forums...
The system and batteries would be too big and heavy to be handheld, so they should instead be stored in a fanny-pachish place. Then you held a controller and screen type-thing that looked like any other generic portable in your hand to play and watch. The two devices could be connected with a cable or something. Hmm?

I think it's an Xboxp (as much as I hate the Xbox). Or a GCp (which would be awesome). DCp isn't so unbelievable, but when I e-mailed Ben long ago, I got the response that he probably wouldn't be doing a GCp because of stacking reasons (GameCubes are kinda chunky, even though they're small). With Ben's m4d skillz, he'd probably desolder the connector that goes between the two boards and wire them together (read dkap's Dreamcast write-up and you'll see what I mean).


TBH, I have no idea, but I'm stringing together some stuff to make it seem that way…

As I mentioned, I have to wait for this other guy to get his site up before I can post anything.

On the other hand, if it's at least Thursday that's good as my bandwidth will reset.

I am going to attempt a GCp in the near future, though that wasn't one of the projects I hinted at. THE PLOT THICKENS!

The C64 reference was pretty obvious.

Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!
