TACODON Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I look at my money I gave Atari as a ticket to a circus. It isn't really the best circus but it can be quite entertaining at times. And it certainly cost too much. Even when the un-console is never released. I'll always have the fond memories of Biff, John and the Werner Bros. I've made some friends and way too many enemies but it was all worth it to enjoy the tacos. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course he is the Biffster who got banned from here a while back. Maybe we should invite him here to dogpile on him. Well, surely Atari Age wouldn't allow something that petty. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny D though would involve a strong toilet and plenty of magazines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some of them finally understand this thread is about tacos and having fun. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some of them finally understand this thread is about tacos and having fun. My big problem with most of the banned were the fact that they didn't really argue the fact, they just insisted that water wasn't wet, the sky was orange, and Atari was this amazingly brilliant video game maker that had all their ducks in a row. The ones I'm thinking of couldn't Have a discussion because they never actually addressed the issues at hand. if that's the tactic we can expect, AA doesn't need them back. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TACODON Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 You have to keep a sense of humor about this. I've done some dumb shit in my life. Giving Atari money isn't the worst and I'm sure it won't be the last. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBeefy Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Was looking up stuff and this article got me thinking about how Atari was acting like they were being bullied. They might want to read this. They might learn something. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.huffpost.com/entry/bullying_b_2188819/amp On another note I'm making homemade corn tortillas tomorrow. Anyone got advice? It is always hit or miss when making them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it would actually require more toilet paper. Something you can apparently only get by fighting for it at Woolworths now. 2 hours ago, MrBeefy said: Was looking up stuff and this article got me thinking about how Atari was acting like they were being bullied.

Thanks for sharing. And yes, I think they might, though in their minds, disagreeing = trolling = bullying = a declaration of war (or perhaps war itself). 2 hours ago, frankodragon said: Atari is like those dogs that beg to be petted, but when they do get petted, they start growling. Or my cat, who'll decide she'd rather play. With claws and teeth. That's pretty one-sided entertainment... Kinda like us laughing at VCS backers, I suppose.

+Nathan Strum Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Okay - here's a solution to two problems at the same time: Atari just has to announce that their stock can be used as toilet paper. Boom. Done. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good short-term attention getter, too bad about the price? And wait? But the general uselessness is similar and it made the inventor very rich. That last part isn't happening here. Atari will be posting its financial report in just a few days. They're always quick with the good news but hold the bad news back as long as they can. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have some family fun time today trying to make the tortillas. Just need a cervesa and lime. Unfortunately beer was not on my priorities of things to stock up on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pet Rock cost $4 in 1975, which would be $18.25 today. Atari Speaker Hat® will cost $130 in late 2017, which would be like $28.49 in 1975. Speaker Hat® is not 7x better than Pet Rock. !!
