Same for 3DO, CD-i, Vectrex, et al. 5200 controller is probably the main one but that's not the system itself. Jaguar CD, perhaps? That thing seems to be dead half the time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, it's putting a damper on the goal of 1000 pages by the end of the year. We need to average 35 posts a day and "no news" doesn't get us there. Now if we move the goal posts (such a popular cliche) and say 1000 pages by the time the "VCS" is released then we're golden.

Flojomojo Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Does someone want to take one for the team and see what Destructoid is saying about our favorite boondoggle?

Still a nice win for Atari... if you believe "There's no such thing as bad publicity." 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we can make predictions about their plans to be at CES. Will they actually be at the show with a playable console and games? Or will they be in the convention center of a hotel down the street with hourly rates, showing off another PC plugged into a monitor for "illustrative purposes?" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBeefy Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) So why do you think in the video they pimp this thing as gaming gaming gaming if it isn't a console? The biggest fans at the supporter group are basically saying this isn't a console. Why didn't Atari call it the Atari PC? Also the Atari 2600 was a Video Computer System. Xbox and PS4 could also be called VCS's. Only difference is they have games that are newer than 40 years... Edited December 8, 2019 by MrBeefy Shouldn't name call...I'm not a Werner after all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agillig Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 New update for the Polymega today. They say they expect the console to be shipped to buyers by the end of February. It's nice to have someone give specific dates. I'm really interested to see if the Polymega does what it is supposed to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is to say they're not. They're almost worse than all the talking head videos because they keep generating controversies with political BS for clicks (though Polygon still has them beat on outrage farming). Your job is to talk about video games, not your ideological puritan world, you twats. Sorry, rant, but when these "mainstream" sites bring up something like the VCS, it always feels like a regurgitated footnote, reflecting the quality (or lack thereof) of their journalism. 5 hours ago, cybercylon said: I guess if everyone who has posted to this thread eats a taco everyday and posts a picture, we will get there (maybe we need a "Post every time you eat a taco" thread too). Once I get to the new Taco Bell, I'll be sure to oblige. I'll probably have to wait to upload images until after I spend three hours in the bathroom though. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBeefy Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Wish they had hotter sauce than this. No I didn't have a taco but steak burrito. And no my mother's basement isn't a mexican restaurant. Be kind of cool if it was though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your silence will only incriminate you further. Didn't you hear Brother Arzt? No news is good news! Up is down! Black is white! No games is sandbox! Ignorance is strength! Freedom is slavery! Weeks not months! Prediction: Next substantive update (meaning one where they actually move the IGG counter to "production") will be in months, not just weeks. That is to say, no less than 2 months (8 weeks) from 28 November 2019. If I'm wrong, Arzt is less of a liar/wishful thinker than I guessed. I don't think I'm wrong.
