Schizophretard Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 People on Atari Age patient? HAHAHA never going to happen. In fact, this whole community has turned in to instant gratification, download it now, get it at walmart whiny crybabies. You are lucky they aren't making new accounts just to ask you twice. New accounts just to ask him twice? That's just nuts. People need to be patient. I only ask him once per day with one account. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixitguy74 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 This is beginning to remind me of the test for how patient a child is. A teacher places a marshmallow on a table in front of a child and says "If you can wait 15 minutes without eating this one marshmallow, I will give you two more". I think these people pestering Wonder probably couldn't wait the 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 My experience with AA in my first large-scale order process was the opposite, actually! People were incredibly patient in regard to the posters, and as long as I kept regularly posting status updates, everyone was incredibly friendly with me. In fact, the project took longer than expected and because I was so open with communication, I got several comments expressing gratitude in regard to my communications ability and updates. I thought everyone who ordered was just great, without any problems -- very understanding people! I think that's key with a big project, and I think sometimes the project originators tend to forget that -- if you don't keep people informed over time, they're going to get a little weary of the lack of information provided. No updates leads to paranoia; as far as the "customer" is concerned, they've already done their due diligence by purchasing the item and giving someone money. They shouldn't have to have the burden of information discovery on top of that -- that's the responsibility of the information provider. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Information Jose is collecting is way more than anyone knew only a year ago. He has uncovered some of the mystery of this game already. Cant wait to find out more!

atari181 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Can you share some of those informations? Posted Sat Jan 5, 2013 10:24 PM I am not trying create added stress to everybody's patience but I am going to be talking to people who worked at Mena's Toys.....and rather write a full report once I get all of the facts... My Dad knew the owner (remember, I am Cuban and my parents know all of the movers and shakers in the Cuban community (Southern California), especially the area where Mena's Toys was...my Dad still has his business in the area....like seven minutes away though. He is connecting with some of his old buddies to get me people to talk to....I already identified two people who worked at Mena's Toys circa early 80's. Once I speak to these individuals (and perhaps some more), I will write up a full report in this thread. I already spoke to one individual and got some very interesting information, including the fact that there might be another MenAVision release but I felt that he was not sure about it....I will try to confirm that info with the others I will be speaking to. Thanks for your patience and more later. - Wonder007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) I don't think there's an issue with whining here on Atariage. If anything, frequent posts show interest in upcoming projects, and prevents threads from becoming buried and lost forever. Actually, anyone who's been on other gaming forums like NintendoAge can attest that the level of whining here is far less than elsewhere. Although it's a different web culture for sure, on NintendoAge there is an enormous amount of griping, bickering about collector prices, insults, a cutthroat marketplace, and overall of people getting "butthurt" by the even the smallest comment. Granted, it's still a good forum, but a lot of members, both new and old, and also suffering from a few too many mods not really doing enough. It seems like here on AtariAge, everyone pretty much works together towards common goals. Maybe because there aren't as many folks actively collecting Atari as NES, but AtariAge overall seems a little more peaceful, and a lot more patient than elsewhere.

I think these people pestering Wonder probably couldn't wait the 15 minutes. I always ate it right when she placed in on the table before she spoke. Then I would say,"I didn't hear the rule! So, it wasn't a fair game! Please explain again! I promise I'll follow it! PLZZZZZ!" Then she would place another on the table.... Chomp!

Zwackery Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 But who wants to wait around doing nothing for 15 minutes only to get 3 lousy marshmallows? One is more than enough anyway Depends on the size of the marshmallow. Also, is the marshmallow coated in chocolate, coconut, or something else. I remember putting marshmallows in the vacuum chamber in high school science class. Now that was a big marshmallow. Not Mr. Stay-Puft big, but quite substantial before it lost structural integrity and collapsed (and then was no longer puffy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 as long as I kept regularly posting status updates, everyone was incredibly friendly with me. You are correct, that is the key right there. So many people in charge of projects just can't seem to comprehend this. I'm really not sure why; it seems so obvious to me. In my opinion weekly updates should be mandatory for any and all projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Fiber. Everyone take in more fiber. I did. Only issue with that; I tend to crap out a lot more Pacman's and E.T.'s when I'm on a high-fiber diet. Still haven't found that "golden turd" yet, and believe me, i've looked! Maybe I should increase my consumption of heavy metals? Alchemy is real, folks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnicton Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Maybe we can just change the thread title to "The secret of Men-A-Vision kind of maybe possibly revealed in the near-ish future, whenever it's gotten around to." That'll quiet things down until something gets posted. Edited May 19, 2013 by Donnicton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mxyzptlk Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) The secret is ... there is no secret, especially with some guys with no programming experience (that can be remotely verified) making a game for our beloved 2600. If there was a story here, I am sure, by now we would have read at least something about it by now on the mainstream news sites.

Andromeda Stardust Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I give up; whatever new evidence, research, or exiting evidence that was supposedly surfaced after 30 years, as promised by the OP, is likely MIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Wonder will deliver. This time of year is incredibly busy for him; he likely doesn't have time for anything, let alone AA he's probably working so hard. But I am sure he has some great info for us and once things slow down a bit (which should be soon), he will be back with a full report for us to drool over!

BassGuitari Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Geez, you'd think people preordered the Secret of Menavision or something, what with all the righteous disappointment cards being played. Occasionally, real life gets in the way of tracking down obscure companies and people who developed an equally obscure piece of crappy software for a 35-year-old game console nobody but us gives half a shit about. Chill out; information will come when it comes. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
