Mario’s Minute 066 - MX Cleaner Stinks and Industrial Style Soldering Irons

A solo episode for this month's Mario's Minute covering comments, cleaner, and a massive digitizing project! First I talk about being noticed for Jet Moto 2 of all things, followed by a rant about staying far away from MX Cleaner due to the massive stink it generates. Industrial style soldering irons are discussed at length, to determine whether or not these are really needed for many console mods out there? Finally, I also talk about my ups and downs completing a multi-year long VHS digitizing project I wanted to tackle.

Mario’s Minute 061 - Podcast Origins, Joys of Troubleshooting, & Best vs. Worst Customers

First episode of 2023! For this episode I do a bit of a retrospective with Mario's Minute now being over five years old. I also do a bit of a state of things on the channel, and I spend a good chunk of time talking about console modding. A troubleshooting story with an odd culprit, as well as what I believe seems to separate some of the best and worst customers.
