Cernex Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) 'Limited' to the number of people who contributed to both of the first two Kickstarters combined. Hmm... Mike is the gift that keeps on giving, isn't he? Although I'm pretty sure no one wants the gift by this point.

Flojomojo Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Mike is the gift that keeps on giving, isn't he? Although I'm pretty sure no one wants the gift by this point. He's been re-gifted many, many times now. Mike Kennedy is Johhny Carson's fruitcake. "The worst gift is a fruitcake. There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I've said it before, but following this story is like watching a spectacular Evel Knievel wipeout in slow-motion. Just when you think you've seen the worst of it, Mike Kennedy starts flailing around again in mid-air and somehow manages to stretch it out and make it even worse. The most creative screenwriter in Hollywood could not have scripted this story. The entire project was a horrifying disaster, but at the same time, it was such a perfect and complete failure in every possible way that it's become oddly fascinating to watch, or to go back and re-watch. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I don't think we're scheduled for an MK eruption for another couple of weeks. I'll be watching around May the 4th, hopefully it won't distract from nice Star Wars events. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be watching around May the 4th, hopefully it won't distract from nice Star Wars events. I wouldn't be surprised if, after his last visit, Mike realized our collective wallets are closed and has thus left us for good. If he does return, I hope we can make it clear to him what weaselshit answers don't fly anymore, and any real conversation is going to involve him answering some hard questions. It's clear he really thought if he just laid on the razzle-dazzle, everything would just go away, and it seemed to shock and anger him when it didnt. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amstari Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Sorry for the off topic rant but the thread is winding down anyway, right? The thread is just having a rest until Mike returns. I don't think we have heard the last from him yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The thread is just having a rest until Mike returns. I don't think we have heard the last from him yet. There are two types of people: legends and commoners. Sometimes a legend will forget his or her lofty status and act like a commoner by posting in a thread like this. Legends need to remember that lowly PR people should be doing that job. Let them deal with the riffraff, trolls, haters, bored hikikomori, and attention-starved chronic masturbators who make self-serving videos and podcasts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just when you think you've seen the worst of it, Mike Kennedy starts flailing around again in mid-air and somehow manages to stretch it out and make it even worse. This needs to be an animated GIF of one of Evel's crashes, with Mike Kennedy's head superimposed on it. I'd do it, but I'm too lazy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Wow, I cant believe this thread is still going..Lol. I think I finally gave up about 100 pages ago. At least the memes will keep me coming back at this point. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hey man, I wish someone could make a Neo Geo CD2 or at least mod the original so the loading times wouldn't be so mind-numbingly long, but we can't all get what we want. Still love my Neo CD, tho'. If you use a Neo Geo CD emulator for the Dreamcast, it's basically the solution you are looking for. Super fast load times (yes, using actual Neo CD discs). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super fast load times (yes, using actual Neo CD discs). Well I'll be danged, color me interested. If there are dreamcast-to-USB cables (because why play Neo games without Neo controllers?), there are no compatibility issues (I remember Game Gear emulation having terrible audio issues, although maybe it was just an older vesion) I might need to invest in a Dreamcast. Links? AND, just to not derail the thread: Drop by and say hello. http://retrogamingexpo.com/exhibitors.php There's NO WAY Mike is going to show his face there. Odds are he's going to hire some other guy (or perhaps some random intern hanging around the abandoned warehouse that is RETRO Gaming Mag) to try and shill it, to no avail because Mike refuses to understand WE'RE NOT STUPID. Plus, even if the VGS/Chameleon wasn't a thing, the fact his magazine hasn't had new content and is off-schendule for quite some time now doesn't help one bit.

StopDrop&Retro Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'd go to a convention if Mike was there as a guest appearance just to get a photo with him! He should embrace his infamy. He can have a special panel where he does a dramatic reading of his AtariAge Comeback Manifesto. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Well, Retro issue #11 is out, so at least a slight nugget of new happenings I got mine last week. I paged thru it but I'm not too interested in Zelda. Now it's sitting on my family room table being used as a coaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StopDrop&Retro Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I hope I'm not alone in thinking this, but the cover art looks hideous. Which is uncharacteristic of RETRO Mag. I always heaped praise on their cover designs, Sometimes they were the best part of the whole magazine. The background with the sword and shield looks great, it's a good starting point. But then Zelda and Gannon look like: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnphase Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 ahahahahaha, i scrolled down, didnt read your text before i saw the image, the first word that came to my mind was also 'hideous'. while i cant exactly fault the artist, i fault that layout or lack thereof and how barebones it is, it looks slapped together. lets hope next months issue has a pic of a gravestone with 'RETRO - 2014-2016 on it. of course that wont happen because MK likes the crash & burn approach rather than the respectful laying to rest approach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Maybe that cover was a black-and-white preliminary sketch that was hastily made by the artist before he quit the magazine, and then Mike colored it in himself with crayons. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
