  2. Well, it looks like our work here is done. Times change. People change. However, corporations stay the same. The ones that don't get bigger themselves go towards making other ones bigger. When a corporation doesn't fit this model, it dies. When a brand no longer holds identity, no bigger company wants to buy it, and its shareholders no longer care about toting it. I believe Atari SA has reached this point. Now, since the only people for whom the Atari brand still has meaning clearly know that the French company is a trademark troll, who can Atari SA expect to keep them in existence? No one. My friends, with Ataribox, we are witnessing a drowning fruit bat (which had lost its footing and fallen into the water in 1983) taking its last gulp of air before plummeting to the icy depths permanently. I'm sorry for the morbidity, but death is a part of life, and sometimes a suffering creature needs to be put out of its misery. I've always said: "The streets of heaven are paved in garlic and chocolate. (Not in the same places, of course.)" However, I've been thinking. There are probably Atari cartridges in there too. You can quote me on that.
  3. I implore you to recognize our beautiful state of Idagon. Now, no one will call us da hoe anymore!
  4. You forgot to explicitly mention Elon is planning to fly the Ataribox to Mars. It'll be the first game console on another planet. This should also boost the stock.
  5. Where is AA based? How long should I expect to wait for a delivery from the Store?

      AA is based in the 80s.

       

      You have to know where lightning will strike to arrange where the deliveries go.

      Best ritual I have found to speed up delivery:

       

      Go outside. Begin rhythmically chanting Pac-Man Fever while tossing single quarters in the air on every downbeat. Do this for $20.

      It's strange, stuff from Texas often takes a very odd route in getting to WI. I've tracked packages from there that'll go states away before finally reaching me. And that's even with their so-called "Priority" service! lol

  6. I like to pretend that the Atari keyboard controllers are a Nintendo Switch, because they slide together the same way. *Click*

      I used to want to connect four of them together to make a decent keyboard. :)

  7. A blood-black nothingness began to spin: a system of cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within one stem. And dreadfully distinct against the dark, a tall white fountain played.

  8. All the division over The Last Jedi is starting to make me angry. It seems every time someone says they liked it, someone else has to respond by saying it's a piece of garbage, and vice versa. Edit: I liked it. A lot. Fight me.

      And, BTW, I like Luke's part in this, a LOT. :D

      Glad to see some people agree. Opinions are just opinions, though. Nothing personal.

  10. Not only are there six switches, but the ports on the back are lower as a consequence of having two boards.

  12. I want that Rice Container. JK. Hey look! There's a Fairchild Channel F and a Pong console there too! Edit: OOH, Macadamia nuts!
  13. I've had both. The difference is very noticeable, in both feel and look.
  14. What is up with that photo, by the way?
  15. Yes. The box office return alone should tell you how many people have gone to see it. They can complain all they want, but they've still given the studio their money and more will be made.
  16. MEMOIRS OF A NOVELTY ACCOUNT VOL. III, ISSUE I I wanted to use this entry to state my opinion on The Last Jedi and the recent backlash. I want it to be known that: 1. I am a huge Star Wars fan 2. I, too, dislike what Disney is doing to Star Wars 3. But I LIKED The Force Awakens 4. And I LIKE the prequels 5. And I LIKED this movie. People should stop romanticizing Star Wars so much that nothing new is allowed to be tried. Star Wars has never been a masterpiece (except for maybe Empire Strikes Back) and should not be held to such high standards. It has always had glaring flaws in either writing, directing, or acting, but we love it just the same. Why? Because it's space samurai fighting with laser swords! It's awesome! I believe that people will grow to like this movie. The Last Jedi has not killed Star Wars -- if anything, The Phantom Menace did that. Episode VIII was competently directed, visually beautiful, and emotionally resonant, even if it had some questionable writing and awkward scenes. There were many good moments, like the flashbacks with Luke and Ben Solo, and the quiet parts where the director let John Williams' brilliant score shine through. I hate what Disney is doing to Star Wars in that the movies (and other media) are starting to feel more like an industry than an art. That's OK -- Disney is under investigation for monopoly and things might get better in the future. At least, I hope they will. Whatever your opinion is, just remember to take it easy, and have a happy new year.
  17. So much has happened in 2017. It seems like forever since January...

      So that's what HTTPS is! I always thought it was just an extra letter
