StopDrop&Retro Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Bravo! I think we have found the World's next Shakespeare! The next Kennedy Kickstarter pitch: "We hope that with your help, we can make the retro gaming community even better by hiring 1,000 monkeys to play with 1,000 off the shelf components and we believe that someday this will create a working game console..." 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 You know it's kind of stupid that twitter limits the character length of a post. A lot of people reply TL:DR when someone posts a "wall of text", but I disagree. While it is generally a good etiquette to chunk your thoughts up into paragrahs using the double carriage return, it is the longer posts with several paragraphs that I actually find worth reading, and stuff like "awesome" or "sweet pic, bro" or textless emoji responses just wastes time. The only exception is unmoderated news sites like Yahoo, et al which filter for swears but not content. The religious, political, and occasional sexist, racist, or homophobic posts are the exception to the rule though. They rarely use paragraph blocking and some forget to punctuate, capitalize, uze l33t speak, or in some cases TYPE IN ALL CAPS. Despite this, I still chuckle some of the posts by the conspirator whackos, like how NASA staged the moon landing or president Bush masterminded the 9/11 attacks, or "we can't explain the how or why of some ancient ruin so aliens must be involved." I'm a conspirator whacko but I definitely agree about character length. If it is limited to 142(?) characters then that isn't even a post. That is a text message. I can do that on my phone without a dedicated website. I tried Twitter once. It lasted maybe a half hour and then I was out of there. Anyway, whenever I see TL:DR I take that to mean something like: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaysWithWolves Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 You spelled "debuffed" and "blow your balls off" wrong. I would never design something with that kind of language. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Aliens is ridiculous, but it is good mindless entertainment when your brain isn't up to much else. Too bad H2 is no more... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaysWithWolves Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 This may be the box he used in that unboxing video: Staples White Corrugated Document Mailers, 15-1/8" x 11-1/8" x 4" (14882) It would be funny if there was actually a larger market for prank video game system boxes than for the CC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roland p Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Pretty cool Video from silvermania. Very cool guy. Jumps in after the whole Thing is already over, makes his Video to promote himself and even wants to make Money selling scam T-Shirts based on the Project. Isn't that copyright infringement?

phoenixdownita Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 ow sorry, I forgot about them already... I was thinking more about the Coleco right holders. They are more likely to be interested in how they did it so quickly as I'm sure the RVGS/CC gang told them it would take months to get the stencils, the decals, the Pantone colors, the artist, the cover image, the right gradient, stipends, accounting, payroll, the required Ashley Madison escorting etc.. in order after the KS got funded. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you typed I made the mistake of googling up what BWAAAAAAAAAA! means. The first hit in the "Urban Dictionary" let me speechless and I have to say a little surprised, is that what you meant?

Raticon Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Isn't that copyright infringement? Someone mentioned earlier here that they checked up the Chameleon in the trademark and patents registry (or whatever it is called) and found no entries at all, and the RVGS trademark was apparently abandoned some time ago. I guess that means you can use the "RVGS" logo or just the "Chameleon" logo without the "Coleco" part and be fine and dandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaysWithWolves Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 MK really needs to get a PO box or pay for a physical business address like at Arby's. enoofu, you might consider redacting that part even if it's public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MattelAquarius Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Can someone dub the South Park song? What would Retro Kennedy do If he was here right now? He'd make a plan to swindle you. That's what Retro Kennedy'd do. Can anyone finish the Brian Boitano lyrics conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
