Console Mod-God Ben Heck Gets His Own Show
Ben Heck fans, look alive. Your favourite modder has his own show.
You've probably seen one or two or ten of Ben Heck's mods around the web. His work has amazed us in the past and it looks like we'll be seeing a lot more of him starting next week. The mod-god yesterday announced that from Monday onwards, he'd be starring in his own TV show called 'The Ben Heck Show.''
Heck revealed that he's teamed up with Element14.com to produce a TV show about modding. Element14 is powering the show by providing all the tools and components he needs to get his builds off the ground and Heck is, well, Heck is doing the modding. Engadget reports that the show will be bi-weekly and will feature "projects inspired by the modder community, ranging from mods for a particular need to gadgets that help electronic enthusiasts work and play faster." The first episode will see Ben showcase a controller modded for a gamer with a serious disability.
Check out Ben's website for the full announcement.

should prove to be interesting. seems they will hand a show to anyone these days, about time gamers get something other than tidbits on the news.
Looks gay, Sounds Cool lol
I'm glad I sold my tv.
this sounds awesome, wth are you idiots talking about? this guy is a legend!
This could provide to be an awesome show. Also one that is very contrivercial
I'm glad I sold my tv.
I get your humor!
What the Heck!
This is awesome! lol
Ben has been to heck and back, and brought some more epic win with him.
As a fan since 2005, I'm excited to hear this news, and see where this goes for him.
A Vodcast is not a TV show.
Hopefully he will still be doing decent mods though, and won't get pressured into doing what the guys in charge want him to do.
would be awesome to see some new laptop mods from him based on the slimmer consoles.
cool, altough I would much rather have him work for MS or Sony to make cooler consoles.
looks cool, would like to see more shows like this.. but they will probably get bought out by G4tv and then it will be garbage. I hate G4tv.. they suck Obama C@ck
Finally, a "Pimp my ride" show I can relate to!
looks awesome
more power to him
perhaps this will help expand the nerd modding community

How do you mod a nerd?
Nice I remember the xbox mod scene in 2001/2004 on xbox-scene.com and remember seeing his work there too.. Must be the same guy.. crazy!
This is something that would totally be on TechTV, if you know, that was still a thing.
TechTV was good until G4 fucked it up.
G4? No, wait...that's just COPS. =/
