    Um, firstly, it's desiccate. Secondly, it means to dry out (as in coconut) or to make boring. Is that really what you meant?

    *EDIT*

    Decimate, on the other hand.... ;-)

    anyway its interesting to say the least Ben Heck is very good at modding
    but i think he phoned most of this mod in
    would of been better to make a DIY CDX NOMAD

    Oh yes, there's that, too! I'm not awake today!

    I couldn't be bothered with the video. It has ITV-style imposed ads throughout it, that prevent you from skipping through. Screw that!

    Is it just me, or is a coconut CDX starting to sound good? :p

    While I have appreciation for his skill and his rather nice portable atari 2600s I find this a tad disgusting.

    The battery life has to be horrendous with that, the CD spins freely on the outside just asking for something bad to happen (hope you're using a back-up!) and because of the those two to think there is one less CDX in existence for a stupid reason makes me feel less than fuzzy inside. This isn't a "real" portable, this is shoving a console into a custom case, attaching a battery and putting an LCD screen in front. A true portable would find some way to reduce power consumption greatly while making the form factor small enough to hopefully fit in a pocket (even my DSi XL does).

    To be fair on the power aspect, a Nomad would run ~45 minutes on rechargable AAs the way I would play it. A genesis runs for about an hour on a single 9v battery before all sorts of fun glitches start popping up until it slowly migrates to a frozen state.

    Ben's 360 and PS3 "laptops" are a great idea though. He should stick with those and less with destroying hardware that has no business being "portable" until the hardware is seriously given an overhaul.

    couldn't agree with you more that he ruined a perfectly good CDX makes me sick

    if he had taken a model 2 genesis and a model 2 sega cd and made a DIY CDX then it would be a really cool mod

    but this is just a travesty and like i said earlier i think he phoned this build in

    Far more disturbing for me is the discovery that Ben Heck looks like the most annoying person I know!

    Desecration (also called desacralization or desanctification) is the act of depriving something of its sacred character, or the disrespectful or contemptuous treatment of that which is held to be sacred or holy by a group or individual.

    the CDX is sacred to SEGA fans and by removeing one from the world you are robbing it of its charter

    also its defacing segas grave to do what ben heck did

    sega Is dead they died when sammy took them over and gutted them like a trout anyone rember sonic 2006 nuf said

    Sammy saved Sega. Without Sammy Sega would be just another Midway or Acclaim a long time ago.

    sammy completely gutted sega sonic just doesn't have the same charm as he did in 2001 again the abomination sonic 2006 and then sonic 4 just last year

    the last sonic game that rocked sonic adventures first sonic game to fully suck sonic adventures 2 who the hell though of giving shadow a gun -.-'

    in 2-3 years sega sold half as many consoles as the game cube did in 10 years

    Don't worry, in like 25 years there will be a new SEGA console, I'm sure of that.
