	<title>Shank Mods - Floatplane</title>
	<subtitle>Hello I&#039;m Shank.
I&#039;m a modder known for my work in the Wii Portablizing scene, where I helped lay the foundation of making the dream of Wii Portables a reality. Outside the tech forums, I&#039;m known for my YouTube videos showcasing various projects, such as the GameCube JoyCons and the Hot Wheels sleeper PC, and various Wii Portables. </subtitle>

Could not have done it without them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did rough manual adjustment of audio levels for the safety of earbud users. The sounds of everyone yelling/laughing or metal crowbars dropping on concrete was brutal.</p>]]>

Fortunately for me, UnclePunch made a few recordings at various parts of the adventure. These are the clips of my adventure that remained.
