Whew! I was worried there for a minute. They did finally get the controller patent through.

 

Too bad they still don't have FCC certs for those controllers they are going to be manufacturing soon.

Did anyone mention they got a patent this year? Or is that what you refer to above?

Excuse my stupidity please, but I typed it in as a url, which added "/landing"

 

does this relate to that?

Not sure about the landing. When I do www.amicoentertainment.com it goes to GoDaddy for me.

It was mentioned somewhere. IF they manufacture anything it would be those. It still needs to pass certs...

I cut/paste what you just posted and for me it goes to "lander".

 

I've looked at TM a lot obviously, but never the patents. So any help would be appreciated.

 

Some of their filings are applications (similar to early trademark steps). I see only 1 actual patent (granted).

Video gaming environment capable of gameplay balancing and conveying game information to a player

 

note the same here in green (patent)

 

For those who don't remember, there was a video by Tommy about Shark Shark where he mentioned the player trailing would get info on their screen as to where the next pearl would appear. I don't believe this "gameplay balancing" has been discussed much since.

 

Sorry for the stupid question, but is this really about the controller or about some more general environment? It's from 2020.

This didn't start with the internet, but it's a different topic, sorry for awakening this beast. Back to Amico. 

Wait, there is no Amico. 

Back to the coffin dance!

I don't think I've heard anyone discuss the pearl locations when using Amico Home.

 

Sadly I would guess that most of the fans playing it are playing alone.

I'd say that it was 100,000 POs that cried out as they were destroyed. However, in order for them to scream out they would need to exist first.

Anybody else think of the dichotomy that is Tommy Tallarico?  For 2-3 Years the guy had such a big mouth that no comment on the internet regarding his so called, and quite fictional "console release" went unchallenged.  He literally, it would seem, had an answer for Everything.   And now that he's been exposed for the lying, stealing, POS that he really is,  He's Eerily COMPLETELY SILENT.  

 

I'm pretty sure he cannot form the words "I'm Sorry" or "Here's your refund".

In there does he really mention “non-gaming audience”?

 

What was that? And why would said "non-gameing audience" have cared about a gaming console/platform anyway? What part of “non-gaming” did he not understand?

Something is telling me he’s following some legal advice, lawyer recommended gag restrain if you will.

Couple of lawsuits seems to do the trick.

 

Wouldn't that be something?

... ehrrr ... actually ...

He was trying to make a false equivalency between those who fart around on games on their phone. Who traditionally spend next to nothing on phone games, and somehow magically they would then want to spend $250 to play crap games that weren't free or like the games they were playing on their phones.

 

Also Tommy, while he can talk a lot, is not good with the words and meaning. Such examples include, non-gaming, exclusive, peak, refundable, anytime, launchpad, and I believe there are many more.

This, and probably from the company themselves. I'm sure they feel pretty stupid and are mad for having listened to him for so long.

Well to be fair, there were many here at AA that wanted him to keep talking and probably still do deep down. They probably think it was 5 haters with confirmed fake alt accounts who are the reason they don't have their new Intellivision. They probably hate this thread, are in the FB hugbox, Amico Discord, and still dislike reality.

 

Those who thought he should focus more on getting his hardware out than spending hours making wild claims on AA and YT were haters who "didn't know what they were talking about".

I really would like you to use a stopwatch, that you never reset, and start it every time you waste tine on digging for this info and then formatting and pasting it.

 

Add it up at the end of the week and see how much time of your life was spent on this obsession.  Unless you do this under the influence of mind altering substances already, I suggest you do, at least you get more than a chuckle out of it and some "Likes". LOL

 

Why is nobody upset that it is so hard to find Caffeine Free Pepsi? 🤬

I'm surprised it tool Alvardo, Phil, and Nick so long to not back him anymore. Especially Nick considering he was in charge of finances and knew such things like 100,000 purchase orders "in the bank" were indeed not in the bank.

 

This was a basic android box and with millions of dollars could not get it out the door. They drowned the project on their greed, hubris, and lack of understanding on what they were doing.

 

Who is the bigger idiot? The fool, or the fool who follows him?

Really it's that hard to find caffeine free Pepsi?

Yes, look what they charge for those on Amazon, no store here in Ventura county ever has them in stock.  I didn't even know the Diet version exists, I have never seen it before.

Crap man! First you don't have the meat deals that I have, and now not the soda?

Holy shit you aren't joking. I still think around $8 for a 12 pack is too high. Mean there are some buy 3 get it for still a high price, but slightly lower, deals

Do you need them minty in box? They don't come with manuals though.

Do I need to call and verify they aren't going to do a bait and switch?

You could probably just sell the empty boxes with a download code for Pepsi.   Code doesn't have to work, it's been proven that stuff like that will sell.
