+Spriggy Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Why thanks X! Love a good taco! It was a lot of reading, but knowing the forum I knew it would make for some good entertainment. I wasn't wrong, not in the least. Just sad this made it to the financial part before it all went square shaped. Though being as broke, and destitute as I am at the moment I found a stock I could buy into. LOL! To bad that would only make me even more broke!!!!! Welcome to the Atacobox Shit Show. Knocking on 700 deep! "Stay a while. Stayyyyy Foreverrrr!" 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GoldLeader Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Where to put this? Maybe here... Today, while driving, I saw a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck. I was also driving my Toyota Tacoma, but that's irrelevant (an irrelevant never forgets (har har))... Anyhow, this guy had taken some of his truck badge letters off so instead of saying Toyota Tacoma it said: Toy TACO And I thought of you guys 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm thinking "Atari" is trying to hire young, sophisticated minds for development of the future. Nah, scrap that. They're instead throwing money away on wild drinking parties. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBerel Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Did ya catch how some of the Jr. Stock Titan Weenies over in the Reddit are excited about their latest new market listing. Some of those crotch nozzles are bragging about buying into Atari's "IPO". Thanos is still right. https://www.reddit.com/r/AtariVCS/comments/bhkjdu/cvs_not_might_not_get_released_before_march_2020/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanos is still right. https://www.reddit.com/r/AtariVCS/comments/bhkjdu/cvs_not_might_not_get_released_before_march_2020/ heh AMD wouldn't risk affiliating themselves with a company that's likely to fail, and a scam is less likely to create an official IPO listing (in my opinion, at least). Even if there's a delay the product is almost certain to launch at this point.AMD will cash any check that doesn't bounce, and a company selling stock is just another way of getting at other people's money. Every financial trade has a big hairy disclaimer of the risk involved. Buyer beware, chumps. And yeah, I like Tommy more than any of the toilet seat covers at Atari* but this is not the place to advertise goods and services, let alone exhuming long-dead brands and trademarks. If mods delete the Earthworm Jim spam (as they should), the same thing is on the official TT Amico self-promotion thread. *like toilet seat covers, they don't actually work as advertised 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 L O G O ? It's a funnel, cash goes in top, NOTHING comes out at bottom. In Sheboygan, Wisconsin, there is an insurance firm (with the same intention for money) with a similar upside-down logo. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Perhaps Atari should recruit Lyndsey Scott as their spokesperson. She's both a model and an iOS app programmer, just in case they need someone to both develop content and promote it.

+frankodragon Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Now only if "Atari" got the idea to dispense beer after the winner wins a game of Barrel Pong. But some other company actually had the idea: https://hiconsumption.com/2013/02/beercade-the-last-barfighter-beer-dispensing-arcade-machine/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I wonder who is meant by "our?" Remember when they'd post things like, "Atari is working on an update for you." Borderlands 2 came out in 2012. It was ported to the long-Dead PSVita as well as the playstation 3 and 4, and Xbox 360 and One. Putting it on "Atari VCS" would be about as compelling a software release as a package with Pong and Centipede. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderlands_2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+x=usr(1536) Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Maybe they are using an AI program for responses. Hence the odd grammar and non-answers for responses? My guess is non-native English speaker writing the responses. Also, I'm thinking that we need to let johnphelan1979 in on the fact that the word 'awesome' is actually spelled with two 'e's. He's pretty consistent in skipping the first one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the intern running those posts is from Atari SA and not from Rainfactory. Whoever it is, they're not putting in much effort. According to "Atari's" IGG profile, they only have 16 comments. I wonder if there were others, that have been hidden/deleted? The site doesn't make it easy to see all of them at once. They choose odd times places to reply to comments. "Atari" hasn't posted an actual progress report since December 2018. The four other updates since then? One was about contest winners and three were about the new AMD hardware, stretched across 30 days. Keep your eyes peeled JP's video about how Borderlands 2 is confirmed. MY BODY IS READY So long as "Atari" doesn't release anything, they can still claim to have hardware in development, gain the benefit of (increasingly mocking) press coverage, and not answer any questions. Pure potential! Meanwhile: Madbox is probably dead, and the author of this article mentions VCS and Amico. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACODON Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'm sure the intern is using a Speakerhat to translate so they can get past the language barrier. They really should hook up John with some free swag for being such a die hard fan! Maybe do a write up about him and P-Dubs in an upcoming issue of Photoshop Monthly...

Yeah, but that would involve having to actually write as opposed to just plagiarizing Wikipedia articles. I'm not sure if they're ready for that yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaysWithWolves Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Grammatically, Atari's use of "our" is a form of the "exclusive 'we'"; often used by royalty or in a newspaper's editorial. But we may never know who that particular "our" actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
