5:02 I love how the spiral explodes and they kinda just ignore it.

[MrKeyman]

Literally had me captivated till the end, I love engineering.

[smokeydaddy]

For those interested the official count was 205. Certainly a greater number of modules than has ever been assembled anywhere on the east coast.

Lets give it up for this camera man, he doesn't get enough respect.

I started watching this and had no idea it was almost an hour long haha. Ended up being fascinated enough to watch the whole thing, never seen/heard of GBC before. Very cool!

[EapeTheMatrix]

As a Mechanic by trade I really appreciate the intricate mechanical details of each module. And what this hobby stands for. If you build GBC you stay off the streets and use your mind, body and soul in a good way. Nerds are cool.

I didnt think I was gonna watch this whole video, but I did. Very impressed

[mincat]

5:02 the balls exploded off the spiral

[comictoonmlg]

Wow i cant belive he spent almost 1 hour explaning dis. wat a legend

[pawelos]

I dont know who Akiyuki is but he certainly makes fantastic lego modules.

On the topic of the gravity controlled module,

You should make a seperate table that consists of only gravity controlled module. Grab like 100-kilo wrecking balls and set them up so it is just a giant version of the weight system on that module.

He says "module" about 137 times. Just open up the transcript and ctrl+f

[simonholm]

Gotta love the work and commitment but at 17:10 the problem is a Ball stück at the top. Idk if the say it later still watching

[bikeh]

This is the BEST Lego Game Boy Color I have EVER seen!

[matthiasgreen]

Legend says he’s still thinking of the word

"A wheel as we call it"
I think that's what everyone calls it

[spindinswans]

4:53 i love how he just ignores the fact every ball flings off the spiral

[minib]

[scorpionpina]
