JBerel #14476 Posted December 12, 2018 There's no meaningful difference between Atari's case and an old rubbermaid tub. Correction, you can put something inside an old Rubbermaid tub, and it may even be fresh when you use it. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flojomojo #14478 Posted December 13, 2018 Saw this, and thought it interesting... Who owns the rights to the game "Blood" Atari or Warner Brothers https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2018/12/12/18138389/blood-reboot-rights-atari-warner-nightdive From Wikipedia 3D Realms sold Monolith the intellectual property (IP) so 3D Realms could make Shadow Warrior. Monolith sold the publishing rights, but not the IP for Blood and its sequel to GT Interactive. GTI was later acquired by Infogrames, which has since been renamed to Atari. Monolith itself was acquired by Warner Bros. Entertainment, which owns the Blood trademark and intellectual property.[10] Atari re-released Blood and Blood 2 on Steam and GOG, but unlike other Build engine games (Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior), the source code for Blood has not yet been released. NightDive is kind of a game IP scavenger, with a knack for sorting out stuff like this. My vote would be Warner owning the IP, but only because I have a hate-on for "Atari."

Flojomojo #14488 Posted December 14, 2018 Someone made a bot that tweets any comment deleted from a particular Indiegogo campaign. Kinda like what we are doing here, except automated instead of using the hive mind of the haters brigade.The last line of their Readme is directly applicable to Ataribox. "Triton" is utter bullshit and its owners should feel bad about themselves. Meanwhille, today in ancient, failing, irrelevant brands: BIG SURPRISE — Verizon cuts 10,000 jobs and admits its Yahoo/AOL division is a failure Verizon's Oath division failing in ad market, and it could get even worse. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leech #14494 Posted December 15, 2018 lady_soldering_taco.jpg I hope she's using lead-free solder. Ha, this reminds me of the time I had to resolder something (I think it was on a friend's Atari 8bit) and I had asked this girl (who was the girlfriend if my brother's friend and is probably the dumbest person I have ever met.) To hold the soldering iron while it cooled. I told her specifically to not hold it by the metal part and to hold it by the black handle. "Ooh, it's hot!" "Yeah, I was just melting shit with it!"

cybercylon #14498 Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Hmmm... It's December 15th. Isn't there supposed to be another announcement of an intention to plan the posting of an update today? Sure... I'll announce something. I am announcing that there won't be an announcement of any sort from Atari SA today or any intention to make an announcement that there will be an announcement of another announcement some time soon, so stay tuned. Also, I am announcing that taco fixings are going on the grocery store list, and when it comes time to announce that we will be making them, I'll make an announcement at that date.

+AtariNerd #14499 Posted December 16, 2018 I haven't been this excited since WebTV supported that optional over-night ad download Feature, that took about an hour or so, over dial-up. Boot-up and you could watch it before logging in. We were seeing the FUTURE! Uff. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
