OCAT Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Time to hit up the stores to get my %90 off cards, decoration and wraping paper for next year :) Atari should get in on the discount and buy 10,000 Consolation cards to mail to the backers with the unfinished Console that they had to Consolidate to the failed projects pile. Anyway, I hope nothing but the best for Atari in 2020, go forth into the new year 10,000 strong! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 No VCS under the tree, but I did get a Guy Fieri cookbook that has a taco recipe in it, so that's good enough, I guess... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one got a VCS under their tree. It's possible you'll get one for Easter if the Easter Bunny shops the clearance section. On a side note, it's interesting watching the IG backers get testy with each other. Some of them clearly know this thing is DOA. Some of them are expecting remasters of classic games, exclusives, and a marketing campaign. It's amazing how people can have such wildly different viewpoints about the same thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaysWithWolves Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 You know I loves me some SHOT/CHASERS. You probably also know that a boilermaker is a shot-chaser combo. The internet tells me it can be drank separately, but the way I know of it is that the shot gets dropped into the beer before consuming: Over in the Indiegogo comments, in a roundabout way @Lodmot dared suggest the Christmas update was not an update: The usual suspects attacked him, but Jessie Scroggins did so in such spectacular fashion it deserves its own "boilermaker" heading. He attacks Tommy then the very next message basically paraphrases the very thing Tommy had written. The bottom post below is the older of the two. BOILERMAKER: Tommy points this out to him later. Bravo, @Lodmot 6 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 @PlaysWithWolves My people call that a "car bomb." Not the most politically correct name, but seems to me to be an accurate description for most of these "retro but not" products talking a big game lately. Take an old brand name, and drop it into a cheap single board Linux computer, or if you prefer, a foot soaker with tiny touchscreens, then watch the foam and suds rise up! Yum. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACODON Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 The IGG comments sections seems to descent into the Thunderdome every so often now. I see no reason to comment there anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not because they're French, or because we're sentimental. They simply have no understanding or respect for the legacy of the IP they acquired. These social media snafus are just cringe inducing. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local irish bar here refuses to serve those. Me and a friend almost tried to order a Betty White. If they asked what that was we were going to give the car bomb recipe and say its what we imagine she would taste like. We didn't go through with it though. ? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, in that short Christmas message they use the word "brand" six times. They know their name and logo are their best assets. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
