I find it funny that my name is also Tommy... o u o

Lol xD

Hey dude, no worries. Also, I don't think there's any reason to feel ashamed; you and I were in the same boat. > w < We both were excited about Atari coming back, and it just snowballed in a bad direction. I'm just chalking this up as a learning experience. Hopefully we at least get something, even if it's just a Linux box. Lol.

Omg xDDD I remember watching a documentary about that... Soooo creepy. x w x http://www.heavensgate.com/

Whaaaaat theeeee........ o u o

> u > Lol.

Oh shet. I just left a comment in the indiegogo page (for the first time in several months). Will I get trampled by VCS supporters? o w o

How low can they go? o u o Lol, omg. Imagine if Atari was bought out by Sony or somebody? And Sony ended up using the plastic molds for the new VCS to make the PS5? xDDDD

No problem dude!

They essentially made a Linux box, lol. It literally just boots up to an Ubuntu desktop environment-- that's it. That's fine for me, because I'll load LaunchBox or RetroArch on it. I'll find a good use for the console. But I can totally see other people expecting to be able to utilize it with a controller (not realizing you'll need to plug a keyboard and mouse into it), and they'll think it's defective or something.

That's damn impressive though, either way. o: I think they're older than Game-Revolution.com. I used to go to that site religiously to look up cheat codes for games. Lol. Then I found cheatcc.com, which had a much larger database of cheats. xD

Cool, that's what I was wondering. Thanks :3 As long as they're a reputable source, then I'm happy to go along with it. When I search for gaming news I usually will either watch Spawn Wave and RGT85, or I'll just Google search what I'm looking for in the "News" section, and I'll end up with websites like GameSpot, or PCWorld or IGN, etc.

I don't really recall when I mentioned reliable sources just now, lol. I mentioned having personal experience with the Atari VCS (which was negative). If you want to know who I use as reliable sources, usually it's SpawnWave and RGT85 and ReviewTechUSA-- all really good guys. o u o

Yeah, true. By not listening to us early on, Atari dug themselves into the hole that they're in. xD I was just curious if The Register has any credibility as a source or not. I know I was screwed over as a developer, so I have my own personal experiences that make me feel negative towards the Atari VCS. Then we have Curt Vendel, who is connected with the project. I remember back when I made Game Catcher for the Ouya, and believe it or not, developing a game for it was a very positive experience. It was an excellent first platform for me to develop my first game release for. Sucks that Atari couldn't give me that same experience. o u o

Not to defend Atari or anything (and hopefully I don't get lambasted for this, lol), but I find it a little interesting that Rob Wyatt approached The Register (of all the different tech sites he had the choice to approach). It's just funny to me because the source of bad press (at least lately) is all coming from The Register, and other sources and YouTubers seem to be picking up what they're saying. My point is, do we know for a fact that they're a reliable source of factual information, and they're not just trying to stir up the drama?

Holy fuck dude... o__o This makes me appreciate the fact the I just took a break from the VCS frenzy and "stopped caring about it".... It's weird how deranged and immature people can actually get. That's why I always tell my parents, "dude, introversion is the way to go." LOL Just lock me up in my mancave with all my video games and with my girlfriend and nobody else, and I'll be just fine. Nobody will harm us, and we won't harm them.

There's a few YouTuber's saying Atari only has 3 employees. I'm not sure what the original source was either, but yeah..

Lol, John Hancock's video. He actually mentions this thread too:

Hmmm.... Atari has 3 employees, Tin Giant has 4 employees..... What the hell dude xD

As much as I agree that Atari should show something in video, I suppose at this point doing so is kinda irrelevant now. In other words, if you want to know what the Atari VCS will look like in action, download yourself a live bootable USB image of Ubuntu 19.10, write it to a flash drive and boot it up in any PC-- there you go. LOL.

Fred Chesnais is probably like, "Eh... invoices, bankruptcy, NDA's and contracts-- what's the difference?"

In Rob's defense, I guess it's kinda hard to do much if he's in a hospital bed like this for a period of time: Though that was back in November, nearly a year ago. So that was before the 6 months when he claimed Atari stopped paying for his work. I wonder how much this actually had to do with his performance working at Atari.

Yeahhh. I screwed up my math there. LOL!

Well, if those guys are learning anything, they're learning how difficult it actually is to produce a game console-- and they're learning it the hardest way possible. Lol...

One thing I find funny that I don't think we really mentioned....... Atari gets super annoyed about people not completing their BackerKit surveys, LOL:
