    It looks like you spent a lot of time on the screen cover, but it is the attention to details like that which make projects really stand out in the end. Great Job.

    you should keep the song as your Theme!

    Maybe introduce Hackgyver as an Alter-Ego you turn into, when you have to improvise to get a Project done.

    That's awesome! I rarely ever used Garage Band except for producing podcasts years ago! I'm digging your style--you're definitely a contender!

    I literally loled at mom with the lamp. Love your style!

     

    Who did the Macgyver cover that you used?

    Added a lot to hear you speak your thought process and how you figured a solution.

     

    Very cool build and seeing you fire up the cartridge was a satisfying way to close.

     

    A handheld retropie that accepts Game Boy cartridges is a genius idea!
