Breakpack Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Can we get it named The Coleco Chameleon Comedy Hour - Kickstarter Edition "You'll get a Kick outta Coleco!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I wonder what the excuse will be if the kickstarter does not launch today. Mike will probably blame his (anonymous and unnamed) "Kickstarter guy." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickcris Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) yeah. its not coming today. under the "stickied" post on their facebook page I saw a couple people asking when it was going live and they deleted the comments. edit: Not sure why but those posts I saw are back so maybe they did not delete them. Still don't think its coming today. Edited February 26, 2016 by mickcris 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toiletunes Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 "Everything was going as planned, the fpga performed flawlessly, shell colors were locked in, I had contacts lined up around the block begging to be included in this super awesome (mis)ad-venture... Then, someone started a rumor(totally false,I might add, they the prototype, which cost thousands of my personal monies, was a fake. To make matters worse, a friend from the past, who I thought I could trusted, (Looking at pipercub) went on atariage and said some things which were, quite frank, bizarre, and false. The hate smear campaign caught the eye of kickstarter, and they we I decided it would be best to wait. Not that I couldn't proove all of you wrong right now, but the timing isn't quite right. I am really perplexed why nobody seems to recognize the simple genious of my ideas. This could have been ginormous for everyone (especially me) well it's your loss." 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triverse Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I am considering whether to start a new thread once the Kickstarter actually begins. ..Al Dang, I wouldn't be in all that big a hurry. Everyone is enjoying this thread. Life is too short for multiple threads. All we are doing is speculation here. Yet this is still fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybercylon Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) There is always that outside chance that someone close to him managed to talk some sense into him.

jaybird3rd Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Well, it's Friday all day. They didn't say Friday morning... Actually, they did! It was uncharacteristically specific of them.

toiletunes Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 "...you just wait until April, I'll debut the Magnavox Monolith, Chicago Cubs World Series Champion edition! It will be even more ginormouser with an astounding 65,000 colors (the shell, not the display) it will make all the haters weep with power! It will fold laundry and find lost socks! The processors is faster than a speeding bullet! But I don't want too give to much away, so you'll have to wait for the official announcement on the First of that month" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galax Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) I am considering whether to start a new thread once the Kickstarter actually begins. ..Al That would be a good idea, if the Kickstarter happens or if the whole project is cancelled, as there shouldn't be any need for 'hardware speculations' at that point. It doesn't look like a Kickstarter will happen any time soon; their Twitter and Facebook have been silent (neither posts nor comments) for 4 days. They could crowdfund a the money to build a prototype (Kickstarter is fine with that), but that would be difficult now as it would involve admitting that they never had a prototype.

Raticon Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I am considering whether to start a new thread once the Kickstarter actually begins. ..Al It could be a good idea for those who want completely up-to-date and relevant stuff. The first one will be the "IndieGoGo-era thread", this one will be the "Pre-Kickstarter-era thread" and then the new "Kickstarter-era thread". Quite a treasure trove in 3 parts for the videogame historians! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Well, I'm tearing myself away so I can teach some classes. I'll check in as soon as I'm done, though, because I'm 100% ready to be totally convinced by the persuasive Kickstarter pitch that they've been hyping so much.
