Darvond: No, a handyman is clearly someone who plays with their own hands, a consolidator is someone who makes solid concentrates.
The question is: are consoles consoling?

Sometimes they can be quite comforting.

Darvond: If you mean the Wii-U; while it was considered a commercial failure, it sold 13.56 million as of 2019.
I was actually thinking about the locked and overpriced NES Classic

Not really sure what the point of the thread is?

I think Tommy has went a little off the deep end with his comms, but overlooking his achievements within his craft for a pop at him is a bit pointless, if not ignorant?

But anyway, first it's the -Intellivision- Amico, Intellivision is a key name in video history. As for the product, it feels dated and misplaced, it won't make much of an impact outside of the US...and even then it'll be mostly unknown.

It'll launch but to no real fan-fare. Though, I do think if you're interested in a discussion your post should reflect that rather than talking about the current head of the company/project, that's a different topic entirely compared to 'will the system be good ' etc etc

3.6 million units sold (as of 2018) is still a tall order.

Really isn't when it comes to Nintendo. Many abstained from buying it because of what I wrote, and some bought it just because of nostalgia (nothing wrong with it of course). And sold units (/nostalgia alone) isn't a good measurement for how good the product really is.

Personally, RPI3/4 is so much better and cheaper in comparison. Even fake NES Classic ones had 300-500 games. At least on the Amico you can officially upgrade...

EDIT: Almost 62 million units of the original NES console was sold back in the 80's for comparison...

1) The point of this thread is to chronicle the hubris of a man who thought he could trick the SEC and get away with it. Among other things.

2) Well, that indeed would question which things he's claimed are his accomplishments vs the reality of the matter. Such as creating "oof" when it was the other sound engineer for Messiah; he just happened to inherit the sound library when (unsuprisingly) the game flopped. He claims to have worked on Metroid Prime, but if that is indeed true, do you think an egotist like him wouldn't go out of his way to demand a special thanks? If he's really the rockstar he says he is, how come he hasn't worked on a major composition project since 2006?

3) And I'm certain he would have taken the Coleco name had it not been stolen for another scam project beforehand. It rhymes even moreso with his name. I don't think he cares that this is going to be what the Intellivision is known as in the public eye. And as someone who recently turned 30, The Intellivision brand has all the hard hitting power as the Swivodex. But I am curious. How are they a key name in video history?

4) That's a big IF it launches. The way I've been viewing it, the head of the project is inseparable from the product itself, because it's his midlife crisis to get back to the relevancy he once garnered during the days of G4 and the Electric Playground, where he proudly slapped Paper Mario with a 4/10.

If you can't be arsed to google search mate then I'm not going to give you my time to explain it all to you lol, I don't want to sound rude but come on, it takes like 5 mins my dude. I kinda feel like you just wanted to rant about him more than anything, which is fine, but it's not really a topic for a forum more a blog post/tweet?

Alos your thread is called ''Screw it, let's talk about the Amico'' Not ''Screw it, here's a rant about Tommy Tallarico''!

Well, it's hard to talk about a product which doesn't even exist. (At least, not to specifications finalized enough that there's a validated FCC filing.)

Besides, I don't need to Duck Duck Go it, I've been watching this trainwreck for a while now.

Searching aside, it's only natural to discuss both when the CEO/marketer are so in bed with the product with his mental filter completely off, sort of. :D
