Flojomojo Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 17 hours ago, Spriggy said: On a side note ... Atari Biopic to Undergo Tokenization through tZERO and Vision Tree Nice research there Mr Stoner. A biopic movie on Bushnell and the REAL Atari .... with a pic of the currently NOT-REAL Unconsole and Uncontrollers. It might be due to my stupidity, but these get-rich articles about blockchain confuse and annoy me. Can you find the buzzwords I've swapped out of their original article? Quote Pet rock Goes to Hollywood Today, magic beans issuance platform, tZERO, has announced a new partnership with Vision Tree. This alliance will see the latter asteroidize an upcoming movie they are developing through the use of services rendered by tZERO. The magic beans to be minted, and issued, are expected to raise upwards of $40 million in funding towards the development of an upcoming movie. Investors in this asteroid will be rewarded with, not only a vote in the development of the movie, but rights to a proportionate share of the revenues. The goal of this entire process is to change the way movies are made. By partnering, tZERO and Vision Tree are demonstrating a more efficient means of raising capital, while opening previously unattainable opportunities to qualified investors. If all goes well, this event may spark a change in the way movies are made in the future. Atari: A Fistful of Quarters The movie itself is expected to take shape as a biopic, detailing the journey of the iconic gaming company – Atari. This journey saw Nolan Bushnell, who also founded Chuck E. Cheese, grow a pinball repair business into a gaming giant in its time. Despite being a household name, Atari has not found themselves to be a player within the world of gaming for years, as the industry is dominated by the trio of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Commentary When announcing this move, various representatives of each company took the time to elaborate. Saum Noursalehi, CEO of tZERO, stated, “Our goal is to apply pet rock technology to capital markets and every industry that can benefit from the platform we have built. The Atari movie is the perfect project to lead the way for the asteroidization of the movie business.” Patrick M. Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com (mother company of tZERO), stated, “We have been looking for the team to crack the code for Hollywood and bring much needed transparency and accountability to an industry that has been historically resistant to change. This is an extremely impressive team and we are thrilled to bring the tZERO tech stack to the movie industry.” J.D. Seraphine, Co-founder of Vision Tree, stated, “Once we had the opportunity to connect with Patrick, Saum, and the rest of the tZERO family it became immediately clear that this is the best team to roll out the asteroid for the Atari movie.” Benjamin Gerry, Co-founder of Vision Tree, stated, “It has been a long process to find the right partner to asteroidize the Atari movie and to blaze a new trail for other media projects to follow. After looking closely at every major company in the space, we are thrilled to collaborate with tZERO on this exciting endeavor.” tZERO tZERO is a United States based company, which functions as a subsidiary of parent company, Overstock.com. tZERO serves the magic beans sector through their suite of services which allow for the creation, issuance, management and trading of such assets. CEO, Saum Noursalehi currently oversees company operations Vision Tree Vision Tree is a Santa Monica, California, based company, which was founded in 2012. Above all, Vision Tree acts as a tech company, working to implement pet rock technologies within television, film, and media. Founders, Benjamin Gerry, and J.D. Seraphine, currently oversee company operations. In Other News The decision to asteroidize the upcoming Atari movie is yet another example of an art medium which can benefit from the ability of magic beans to both generate, and unlock capital. Another example of a form of art being affected by the growth of this industry includes TheArtAsteroid. We recently had the pleasure of completing an interview discussing this project. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His not-Pitfall game reminds me of this. It's like so many titles in the Atari Jaguar library. It can sound fine on paper, or with all the buzzwords and check boxes, but when something isn't quite right, you can tell. I'd still take half of the Jaguar library over what I've seen from Biff. Seems well past time for him to hire an artist, although that won't help a lick with the derivative game design. 17 hours ago, godslabrat said: Well, you can stream videos on the Atari, and Biff was the first person to ever talk about video games in front of a camera...

I think that's just another day at the office ...the haters come, the "Atari" minion clears them out, some new ones come and replace them. Only the true believer comments (Blakeley, Phelan, etc) are left which makes them look more legit for a little while, until more haters pile on. Lots of OUYA talk again. And their "official" rep is just recycling the Medium posts which weren't that great the first time around. It's sad ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
