four more days and i think im out of the temp ban house for this subreddit.

im a couple pages late to the party but this destechaz deal looks like GDC all over again.  Is Fred going to bump into a Woz at a Burger King and pretend talk about the unconsole?

[carlsson]

I think Burger King would be the wrong place to host it, rather go for Chuck E. Cheese to get the proper Atari vibes.

The Woz

 

He hasn't done anything tech related in what seems like ages

He was on dancing with the stars recently

So they want to show the 'box' to The Woz

 

Show something to the man who invented the personal computer way back when, someone who would know at a glance what does what on their bargain basement board, someone who after looking at said board would laugh himself into the next century....

 

Oh yeah, this can't go wrong, can it ?

ok, that's pretty clever!  still clearing the fog out of my head from waking up.

Fredo needs to take a page from other marketing efforts and get a map to the stars homes so he can take selfies of himself in front of their homes and places of business.....or just outside the adjudicated minimum distance documented in the restraining orders.

"Look! I'm TOTALLY friends with Matthew Broderick!  I gave him the inspiration for his character in War Games."

I was actually surprised, this morning, to find the conference started yesterday and ends today.  According to his Twitter account, Chesnais' Kabuki theater is today.

Here's an upcoming console I just heard about (kind of like the Switch, but focused on classic handhelds) that I expect to see available before the Ataribawx:

No Fuji.

No woodgrain.

No joystick.

No Netflix.

 

HARD PASS.

 

 

 

[PlaysWithWolves]

Oh yeah, much better:

I hate when Mom and Dad fight.  ☹️

For legal reasons, the ATARIpocket will now be known as the "ATARIpox Pocket".  Previous picture changed.

 

For uniformity, Atari will now call its moddern console the "ATARIpox VCS".  It may also be called the "ATARIpox Box".

My sources say next July 32nd during the joint solar and lunar eclipse when tacos walk the earth, dogs and cats are living together, etc.

* some assembly required - like an OS, also a front end to play classic games on, we can't be bothered to do that ourselves, but the logo lights up, isn't that neat...

I've been lurking for years but finally decided to make an account, partly because of this thread.

 

I just want to thank you all for the absolute goldmine of entertainment that this shitshow has provided. I can't wait for Atari's next milestone (which is, hopefully, showing Woz their half-baked prototype and someone recording his inevitably priceless reaction).

Welcome to the fantasy zone!

 

I suggest throwing some asterisks around, in Atari style. 

milestone*

prototype*

priceless*

 

 

[racerx]

Asterisks are alright, but I've long been a fan of the "asshole quotes," myself.
