Spriggy

Oh, I forgot. You've given me an idea GL. You can only blame yourself for posting a pic of your mug. 🧐

The plastic gloves thing made me laugh. HERE for reference. Are the workers, building the joysticks, worried about leaving their fingerprints behind, which in turn enables them to be identified when people start complaining about the joystick breaking at that tiny pivot point, in turn said builder taking the heat instead of the Team Chipboard Devs? (Note: 3.1 million USD leeched from IGG.) It appears to read that way Flo. "€7.4 million versus €4.9 million during the prior FY." Also, their listed Current Operating Income and Net Income also seems to hover around the same 3.1 million USD figure, + or - figure fiddling. "Current Operating Income: €3.1 million, up 35.7%" "Net Income: €2.7 million, up 20.6%" Yup. Shook my head at this narcissistic comment. I realize it's a matter of course that businesses may try and protect their IP in certain cases, but scraping the bottom of the garbage bin to garner any funds possible and making such self-serving comments, surely knowing their chest-beating to stakeholders would eventually be read by us, the gaming public, is idiocy.

I know. I know. Sue me 🖕 ... 😇

Phoenix: I'm guessing circa '80-82', at the Bassendean West Road Deli/Lunch Bar, in Perth, Western Australia. Lived 2 blocks away and was directly opposite my Primary School. Cocktail cabinet (aussie built cocktail cab). The owner would swap out boards every so often. I recall a few of the other boards, but they haven't been listed here yet, so won't mention them.

Clinks famous coffee pot, which Hogans crew modified as a radio, reminds me of the Atacobox. It looks like a console coffee pot, but it's actually something else.

HERE @18:48. Words of wisdom from Buddha Phelan.

Oops!

Sounds like a Dr Seuss quote! Dr Arzt: "What is it?" "Another thing it's not." It's not a Pi, It's not a console, "It's not a retro box." And whose fault is that? As highlighted by others here..... It's not a Pi, yet it is like a big Pi. It's not a console, yet it's look and ideal is like a console. It's not a Retro Box, yet it has retro faux-wood-grain and all the gaming screenshots show 35 year old games. My god!

And ..... Taco Sunday down here, hence the obvious. For those interested, here's my Tex-Mex Taco Seasoning I use. Usually on Pork/Beef mince mix. 1 tbsp Chili powder. (Of your choice.) 2 tsp ground Paprika. (I use Smoked normally. Sometimes Hungarian Sweet) 2 tsp ground Cumin. 1 tsp Garlic powder. 1 tsp Onion powder. 1/2 tsp dried Oregano. 1 tsp ground Black Pepper. 1 pinch ground Cinnamon. 1 pinch ground Cloves. 1 tsp fine Sea Salt. 2 1/2 tbsp per 1 lb of mince. 1/2 cup of beef stock.

Interesting. The rivalry between the systems, from the gamer's side of things, was great imo. I was (and still am obviously) a 2600 follower and boasted about the range of games, however my friend would say the Colecovision may not have had as large a title base, but argued the graphics were better ... using Donkey Kong as an example. Normal human behavior. "Mine is better than yours because ...." As for the ruthless rivalry between the system houses, did the rivalry create better games and accessories .. one house trying to outdo the other .... and hence fuel the gamer's to purchase more, creating more profit? I don't know. 😶

I gave you 24hrs. Was I right? 😏 Your better than me TD! As for Biff. I can only assume he lives in a house full of mirrors with all his Biff friends ..... that look like Biff ...... sound like Biff ...... and talk utter bollocks like Biff. And for those who like to self medicate...

I was going to do a "Flojo" and break down Fred's replies, but I don't think I could do him any justice. Hence, I'll just post my thoughts ....

IndieTaco sock-puppet comments still dribbling in .... $390 is a big deal for some Richie Rich. As for your consoles, which you obviously store in your clothes drier, I still have my original 1st Gen PS1, PS3, PS4 & Wii. All working fine. Sure, the Unconsole & it's alleged solid state storage will likely be more resilient, so have comfort in knowing you can safely play all eight 2600 games whilst it's being used as a door stop.

Definately AA label. I just tested it with Ms-Pac. Circled areas match the marks on the AA label. It's actually good that the pic is low res, as it over exagerates the label marks highlighted. No doubt the others are the same. Amusing, if anything.

Also reported.

No words needed.

As was predicted here .... the pigeons are now preparing to bust out of the coup. "Can't show you this." "Can't tell you that." "Just trust Us"! We're knocking on the August door FFS Fred! The pigeons are still in the dark, with one curtain slightly open, for the December release. And you didn't thing a revolt was nigh? Also, I bemoan social media, hence not on it. Thanks to all for the links (such as Flos above). Makes it so much easier for me to follow this clown car closely! 👍 Sadly, their behaviour on Social Media, Indietaco, Chipboard HQ, E3, the Courts, truly shows the only thing they care about ....... Make sure you prep for the brother-in-law ....

Nutari's spell checker must be wigging out. It's "invisible", not "transparent" ..... It's "invisibility", not "transparency". Biff and JP in the same place ... at the same time !! ........ just because! At least they're consistent.

Sooooo ... you got banned ... for typing an '@' symbol? These monkeys must be a hoot at parties. God help you if you double dip the Pâté!

What a dipshit! Forget the end label daughter did it time travelling shenanigans. With his close up shots of the cart, you'd think he'd at least try and get the main label correct. *cue fail gif*

I recall my wife and her friend were having a few drinkies and ended up playing Maze Craze for ages. Laughing their asses off whilst at it!

No Mr Wiener. We're discussing this "platform" ......... and waiting for said "platform" to possibly collapse under the weight of many bread-laden pigeons. But trust me. If Team Unconsole delivers their Tacoberry Pi, and it works in some form or other, I'll be the first one to eat my speaker-less hat. No bah-humbug. No crying. No losing sleep. I .. and the others .. will simply move on and continue to enjoy our interactions and discussions at the real home of Atari. And you know where that is. 🌮

You rub this stuff on your eyebrows? One tough son-of-a-bitch!
