This Light Kit Goes to 11

Armed with a bunch of Rock Band light kits, Ben finds the pinout online and strings them all together to make a super light show worthy of any 80's hair band.

Finishing the Xbox 360 Slim Laptop

In this thrilling conclusion, Ben installs parts in the Slim Laptop case, adds sound and buttons and finishes the unit. He then ironically tests it with a Sega Genesis game compilation disc.

Are you Ready to Rock?

Rock Band modding continues! First Ben integrates game controls into a microphone so the singer has them easily "in hand", so to speak. Then he helps Jason Jones make his Rock Band guitar have a clickly strummer feel like the Guitar Hero ones do. Segment ends with a demonstration of all 4 light kits and the fog machine.
