+Schmitzi Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hi Schmitzi, I came along this on Twitter hashtag #TI99 there is a German speaking person ("MrVenom1974") who puts game TI-99/4A reviews in German online in YouTube: example "Jungle Hunt" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9A3R5zonxE&feature=youtu.be&a (not sure if is he is on AtariAge) hmm, don´t know him. There are some TI-things going on on Twitter, but this system is nothing for me.

+Schmitzi Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 ah, not necessary at all I think. Normally this type of people, acting in this way, stamping on others people emotions, get their real punishment sometime in their life. Maye we will not be aware of that, but I am sure that it happens And so, pls don´t worry about, as this is a "self-regulating" thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I came along this on Twitter hashtag #TI99 I did not know about this. I signed up and posted a couple of video directing to Atari Age just in case they stumble on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma is for lazy people. Trust me, should I ever find these people, I will bring them to justice. I will smack them repeatedly over the head with a Tatung Einstein. Nobody, ever , does that to a TI ..... Death by Tatung !!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion1052003 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I chewed out one of the ti smashers on pootube, i hope there wasn't many videos of people doing the same thing. It actually helped, because he apologized, and said it made him think about what he was doing more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globeron Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I chewed out one of the ti smashers on pootube, i hope there wasn't many videos of people doing the same thing. It actually helped, because he apologized, and said it made him think about what he was doing more. Since you are talking to him, let him remove this video within 24-hours and refer to the defamation law and Texas Instruments Inc as a company: * defamation is a false and unprivileged statement of fact that is harmful to someone's reputation, and published "with fault," meaning as a result of negligence or malice. State laws often define defamation in specific ways. Libel is a written defamation; slander is a spoken defamation.

orion1052003 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Actually, it was an older video, of a guy smashing a ti that i was referring to, not this one. Thats why i commented, i hope there are not a lot of these videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion1052003 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Well, i just watched the video.This one is much worse than the one i was talking about. The other one was much shorter, white guy comes and smashes a ti in a few aeconds and the video is over. I talked to him, and the admonishing did seem to help, based on his response. Now this asian guy is much more dangerous.first of all, hes like an ignorant teen with no life whatsoever type of thing, who wants negative attention.then, he is a tech terrorist, because he destroys information, like how they burned books in fahrenheit 451, the nazis burned books in reality, and like the taliban destroying historical sites and knowledge. The other video was like a guy smashing ann old thing he found in the closet and realized he was being ignorant. This guy uses computers to become semi literate about things while remaining ignorant overall.this is the sort of thing that ebay has caused, a restructuring of antiques, both good and bad. My prediction is this young man will likely be in some trouble with the law, or in jail before he is 30. Killers start by torturing animals. This guy lavishes over the destruction, and makes it take a long time. Next, he could move on to bigger things like destroying servers, smashing phone connections, hacking for ill intent, destruction of phone company property, whatever. I couldnt help but think while watching the video, this guy is such a waste of good air. He is sad, and brings it to all of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I agree, anyone who craves the NEGATIVE attention like he seems to thrive on, has a few screws loose (IMHO). Combine that and his attitude... well, unless he does some serious growth in the next few years, I agree, he'll probably end up being be a felon. I really try not to be too judgmental, but I truly believe he's too stupid to realize people are laughing AT HIM and NOT with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 He replied to my comment to him with "Angry Manchild" Hmph! I suppose I am just that! Well, they are troll videos. They exist to make people respond. You did exactly what he wanted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 well, I am sure the mainboard was still working after his episode. he hardly went beyond the metal shield. Now if he has two smashed mainboards and $30.00, maybe Marc will take them in as a trade-in for a 32K modified console. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrospect Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Well, they are troll videos. They exist to make people respond. You did exactly what he wanted. Well I did yes .... had it been anything other than a TI 99 I wouldn't have. Damn that video. It really wound me up. How can you not get wound up by that?

+Ksarul Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 He's probably having a belly laugh reading this thread too, because you can bet that the troll is searching the net looking for references to his magnum opus of stupidity. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion1052003 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 And thats the only response he got from us, not a direct one, he would have to egosearch to find our reaction. So, i dont think we necessarily played right into it and gave him a predictable reaction. But one cannot avoid reacting at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Damn that video. It really wound me up. How can you not get wound up by that? I didn't watch it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Well, they are troll videos. They exist to make people respond. You did exactly what he wanted. I actually saw the video a few weeks ago, but after 30 seconds did not watch as a guy who cannot type and cannot even talk properly plus he cannot connect a computer I do not take it serious (actually I did not noticed that time it was a smashing video, I just saw it once you mentioned it) Anyway I have send him the links of the Texas Instruments legal department. Edit: at the YouTube page, under his video is ... More, here you can click Report and complain to YouTube to remove this video or block content.

globeron Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Computer History Museum, San Jose, USA. It is not my video (but I have been here twice), I mentioned I believe on FaceBook 1+ year ago there is no TI-99/4, 4A here (and also not last time in Sep 2015) Spot the 3x related items to TI-99/4, TI-99/4A and another item (15.50 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNwiMBGoJ90 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
