MrRetroGamer Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 So wrong, but pretty funny! Thanks for sharing that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Lee Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 This person is trying to demonstrate the Atari 5200 the same way a person tries to digest fast food. Waist of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariMan1976 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I like the guys work for entertainment purposes especially when it has to do with games but i dont like him trashing and downing the 5200 or any other atari for that matter.

AtariMan1976 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 *clicks link* *sees video author* *closes tab* LOL i can't really blame u there. Although i like the subject of games and the fact that he may be funny.....it doesnt take any intelligence to come up with something like that. Trust me you aren't missing anything. By the way, very cool avatar. I'm a huge fan of Lunar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcap Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I don't know, I happen to really like the nerd video's.. This isn't one of his best though. You can't take this to serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Too bad his controllers don't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scihorror Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 The 5200 was/is by far my favorite Atari system, but I have to say that was a riot!!! My favorite line: "...and why is there a door on it? Is this a video game console or a f***ing closet?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have a point tho. I liked the one about the power glove myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a video game console or a f***ing closet?!" I was surprised to see him pull a beer out from under that door. I liked it when he dropped the tv on his foot.

82atari5200 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Blasphemous!!! It really all depends on what system you were raised. I had the 5200 growing up and it's still my favorite system ever. I've tried switching over to the 8-bit line which I know is the same but I just love the 5200 controllers. If only the 8-bit line supported 2 button controllers...

jboypacman Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The Power Glove one with the Video Game Nerd was pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 I didn't take this too seriously, as I suppose he didn't either, but he had some valid gripes about the 5200. In fact I'm still lookin' to pick one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Valid gripes about the controller, the rest was bull. Anyone who's got access to the net can either a) find out how to mod the 5200 so it doesn't need the switchbox and fix the controllers or b) find someone who can do both for them. The electronics are over 20 years old, and one can't expect it to be compatible with a modern TV or even to work for that matter. I hope the video wasn't serious. If it was, that proves exactly how little research he does before he reviews something. To me, the video appeared to not be something one should take seriously. It was intended as a not serious cheap shot to the 5200, and that's all it is. That said, though, it was pretty funny. It needed a whole lot less profanity, though.

Henry Lee Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Junkyard: his old and greased video game carts and console and whatever came out of his mouth.. not funny at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I love the 5200...but there was a lot of truth in that vid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) Sure there's a lot of truth in the video but that guy is just plain unfunny. It might have been a funny video if it had someone who was remotely likable in it. Edited March 5, 2007 by joeybastard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Lemmi brought this guy up in another thread and most every sketch I watched.....I couldn't finish because they weren't funny at all. Plus, on some of them, he puts on his "excessive cussing" mode and makes a fool of HIMSELF. The only quote I ever liked was on the Friday the 13th one. "Oh nooo, it's Jason and he's fighting me like it's Mike Tyson's Punchout!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82atari5200 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought he was cussing just to cuss. Kind of like a 15 year old trying to be kewl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariMan1976 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 less colorful language would be an improvement on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trakman Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 He's just cranky. If he plugged in his Trak-Ball he wouldn't have been so miserable. Mine all still work just fine. Even my first prototype still has its big edge over the handheld controller. DKatari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowmotion Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 That reminds me of when I first started getting into the 5200 and I had to find four different systems before I could piece one together that worked. I did a lot of cussing too. Luckily I eventually found the Wico stick with all the right cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I love ANN's reviews. Combine his George Carlin-like foul mouthed commentaries + bad Nintendo games, and you have some hilarious videos. His knockoffs(typically teenagers) are awful though. There's another guy who does similar foul-mouthed reviews(quite a few) that are just as good.
