This week, an incredible discussion as Termite is joined by none other than the tech wizard, Computer Booter, David! David owns a video game retail store and repairs phones, pcs, video game consoles, and other electronics. In addition to discussing his business as a video game retailer, we dive into the pinnacle of David's prowess—the legendary Frankenstein PS3 Mod. This awe-inspiring modification involves replacing the graphics chip, RSX, of the original PlayStation 3s with those from the newer hardware revisions. Few individuals in the world can boast such a remarkable feat, and we are honored to have David among us. https://computerbooter.com/ Song: 8-Punk - 8 bit music Licence: The song is permitted for non-commercial use under license "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0)" http://www.orangefreesounds.com/
