hahaha. If you ever have the chance.. read the book American Shaolin. Great book... even includes the legend Iron Crotch. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/207268.American_Shaolin TJ

Crazy 8s.... I say 7... 7 is a lucky number after all. You see it as jackpot machines all the time... Lucky 7s I am a tad superstitious as you can tell. I also can see into the future sometimes. hahaha TJ

Every time I see the word cornhole in this thread it makes me think of this. TJ

Wow... uber cool. Now show me a picture of you in a Shaolin uniform studying the art deep in the mountains of China and wow, even more respect. I always had a thing for Shaolin. I am too soft for it now but in my younger years I enjoyed learning a tad in my teens. TJ

Tip.... don't use Cocaine White. Family friendly and all. Of course the Cocaine White edition may "BLOW" away all sales expectations! 😋 TJ

Sweet! tj

ah cool. yeh don't own one of those... idea still could be sound and fun with the right boobie traps and stuff. and with proper speed around corners one can learn to jump tracks and such. Add some fun old school dynamics to the game. Of course going too fast can also mean you fly off the track and damage your car. Then use the Amico Controllers to reach a virtual hand to grab the car and try to get it back onto the track so you can get back in the race. Just like we did as kids. Add some voice commands you can say into the controller to do certain tricks. TJ

Looks great! btw.. looking at this picture made me think... how about a Slot Car game. No idea if I have ever seen a Slot Car video game before. I mean who here did not have slot cars as a kid. So similar idea as above but there are slots each car is on and you play against other players. You can switch slots too... Nice feature is you can lay down boobie traps on your slots so other cars may run into them affecting them somehow.. maybe slower speeds... blown out tires, etc.... Little Demolition in the mix so you can screw up other players cars so you can be the winner in the end. TJ

Normally Mondays suck. I mean weekend is over and you have to go back to work. But with this teaser from @Tommy Tallarico about new trailers... I am so ready for Monday! TJ

Even if you are not a fan of Apple, there is no denying, as a company, they have achieved great things some of us now take for granted. I remember this commercial when it 1st came out... and I still enjoy it today. Wondering if one day we will see some ads like this from Intellivision? Come to think about it... and maybe I don't watch the right stations... but does Sony and Nintendo and even Xbox have prime time commercials these days? I don't recall ever seeing any. Not saying for Intellivision to do TV commercials but... well placed ads and videos can go a long way. I look forward to seeing what @Tommy Tallarico and the Intellivision crew come up with in the coming months and years. TJ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ4OP8AFZZI&feature=youtu.be

@Tommy Tallarico what city is the main Intellivision HQ at? Down in SoCal or up in the Bay Area more near SF? TJ

Pretty sure that was Kansas! 😂 TJ

Being an Apple guy and enjoying the fun at past Macworld Expos... then Apple left and the show petered out.... and gone as the dodo... Apple found they could put on their own events and still have large excitement. Every Apple store has small mini events too. I bet @Tommy Tallarico and Intellivision could put on some event, online of course, to show off Amico. Hopefully they are still able to build up excitement and still hit the 10/10/2020 date as much is riding on it.. even if it is a tad softer date now with all the craziness happening in the world. Hoping for the best! TJ

@Tommy TallaricoDid you listen to this tune.. I found it very wicked cool! I felt like I stepped back in time to when Styx was still the original lineup. Too bad Dennis and Styx can't make up... one last fling... as it would go down as an awesome final bow to the fans. tj ps.. if you did... you will find later tonight and tomorrow you will need to listen several more times.. it is that good.

yeh, the crew around Dennis's band is awesome! August is a fabulous guitar player and also sings great too so he and Dennis make the band super. I am a Tommy Shaw fan too but if I had to choose one lineup... I would go with Dennis. I am amazed how good his voice has held up. Super! This is not his new song that dropped Sunday but one he did in 2019 and I feel is a stellar song, very Styx here and if his album is anything like this, watch out! https://youtu.be/qFv55zoTPaU TJ

yeh also a fan of both Van Halen and Styx. I hope to see the current lineup of Styx and the separate Dennis DeYoung performing Styx one day. btw, Dennis's new album just hit on Sunday. His new tune is out. Nice to have a new album out and he is in his 70s. His voice has not changed a lick. One of those you know it is him voices like Steve Perry. TJ

Hope all the folks in here are having a rocking good Friday night... some of you if overseas may be in bed now. I am just getting started. Listening to some Journey and Boston. Any way You Want It https://youtu.be/atxUuldUcfI Don't Look Back https://youtu.be/2HuiH-0R6a0 Cheers all! TJ

I was raised in my fun years in Livermore California... home of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Jokes about our pee being green and stuff was the norm. haha. We had a place in town within walking distance of Livermore High School where I went and at lunch, along with getting Chili Cheese Dogs at Der Wienerschnitzel, we would go to VR... Video Ranch... Was our small town video game place.... Was also one of our main hangouts Friday and Saturday nights as cruising the strip in those days was the norm. Anyone else here do weekend cruises down town, whistling at the pretty girls? I and my 1972 Datsun 240Z (miss that car and was my 1st) sure did... btw my mascot in the passenger seat was a large ET Doll. The girls loved it. haha Anyway, I remember my favorite games and one just happens to be Moon Patrol.. One reason the Amico has snatched my heart recently. Along with Moon Patrol I loved Dig Dug... probably my favorite game of all, and Sinistar! That game was spooky as [email protected]#$%^. It damn spoke evil. haha. Anyway, love and miss those years but for me... 2020 will bring that all back with Intellivision and Amico. I am SOOOO ready! TJ

yeh the waiting can drive one crazy... it is for me... and was the subject of my last YouTube video. hahaha It is how I deal with the waiting. TJ

Just a note as I am a Director of Customer Service for a company.. been in the Customer Service biz since 1980s... and in this day and age with Social Media being an outlet for customers posting issues they have with such and such devices... myself and my partner in crime for our company's customer service peruse the internet all day long, mostly Social Media sites, to find posts that may be regarding our product. If we do, before the customer even reaches out to us for support, let them know how to reach us so we can get them back to 100%. This blows their and many folks minds... that we reached out to them before they even did to us. Shows we care. Shows we are one step beyond what many offer in customer service. It is as close as one can get to being a psychic in customer service field and works well for us. One reason why our company gets so many kudos for our customer service. TJ

Thanks! tj

@LePionnier deal! 😋 I do the act of spitting in my hand and reaching it out to ya. haha TJ

Back at cha bud... your enthusiasm is contagious. Keep up the great work... I enjoy living vicariously through those on YT that use or own stuff I do not... so it is fun! TJ

Don' tell my wife!!! she will think I do NOTHING around the house. Lips R Sealed!! TJ

Never... ever..... I am Old School !! Damn these Young Whipersnappers! I only take my Newspaper or Magazines for Throne Work! 😝 TJ
