I was a mixed bag of emotions when I heard this. On one hand, "Oh yay, BH is making another portable!" On the other, "He hasn't done this in awhile. So many people have already perfected the art in his absence."
I first saw one of Gman's portables due to random drunk youtube browsing. Later when sober I ended up watching one of Ben Heck's builds on my suggested vids. Needless to say, ended up finding this site.
I didnt know that random tidbet about the fact that the n64 didnt use potentiometers like a lot of the controller joysticks i've seen so far.
