Loved all the videos of late and especially pumped to see MC in action..sound was off the charts and really like how you could use the touch display and precision of the firing from the extra large “d pad” Very cool you can choose which base to shoot from or just press down!

Yeah my first thought was the game Twisted Metal Black when they stated that different types of button presses would do different outcomes so people who just pressed the button would get to throw a barrel which would land and explode but "experts " could time another button press to explode the barrel just above the target and get maximum damage. 

 

Tommy's controllers in MC is a similar but very much simplified version of having beginner and expert controls in the same game.

 

I love it.

Hope you find I actually look forward to your videos.  Always a good laugh.... just gotta be quite so the old lady doesn't hear ya..... also a little concerned if she survived the missle attack as you locked yourself in  a bomb shelter all alone 

 Hahaha

A lot of folks like the underdog ragtag behind the scenes style.  I'd personally rather spend $100,000 on a developer than a fancy video shoot right now.    

When our "real" marketing and advertising hit... it will be nothing like what you're seeing now.  Just some fun behind the scenes stuff.

 

 

This is a tough one to answer because well... #1 it's me. 

 

But honestly... so many people have been begging me to explain the controllers (or the haters have complained about how people can use them)... and because this was the first time we were showing them in action... it was really important to discuss everything (IMO).  But I do appreciate the feedback and are conscious that when I get going... I tend to keep going. 

 

So here's a question for you.  From the Missile Command video... could you tell me the parts that I shouldn't have discussed or that you would have liked to have seen deleted.  I'm super curious because it's important for me to understand what things that folks are or aren't interested in knowing.  So what in there did you personally not care about.  Would be helpful to know.  Thanks!

 

 

 

Totally!  I agree as well.  They all keep trying it half-assed and then drop it after a year or so.  But for us... it's ALL we are focused on and our #1 mission. 

 

Thanks again for the feedback!

 

 

I was really glad to see this video and see the controller used for game play. This does appear to be the crux of the system's wonder, so I am waiting excitedly to see more.

Tommy,

 

When you get to this page...

Epic!

And because I'm only on page 415... not sure if these have been posted yet either...

 

Pat & Ian continue to commit YouTube suicide as all other YouTubers have started attacking THEM for what is pretty obvious to anyone who is not a fanboy of theirs

 

 the new people here, if you aren't aware and you don't want to watch the videos (I'd recommend the top one from Tipster as it has the most relevant and detailed info), it all started when they gave wrong information about Amico on one of their podcasts and I politely and respectfully corrected the bad information via Twitter.

 

Their fragile and immature egos took that as "criticizing" them and from that point on they trash me and machine every chance they get by continuing the lie that I attacked them and continuing to get information about Amico WRONG because (as everyone knows) they are too lazy to actually do any kind of research on the things they are talking about. Much easier to just sit around with all their stuffed animals and spout off whatever comes to their elitist and biased brains. I've asked them repeatedly to just talk with me about the system (either on or off air) or to just interview me on their show and ask me any and all the tough questions that they complain that no one else does (most folks will ask me the tough questions and I've answer them... but they always leave that out as it doesn't fit into their narrative). Of course... they refuse to talk to me. People should ask themselves why that is. I guess they don't feel they are able to match wits with me... especially considering how much they talk out of their asses and refuse to listen to anyone giving them proper information about the console. The entire thing is a rouse because they think that the more they crap on it the more money they will make on YouTube. They've already admitted it on air and those clips are referenced in some of the videos above. They talk about other people being "shills" yet they purposely trash us just so they can make an extra $10 a week on their YT channel. Pathetic. 

 

If anyone is at all interested in seeing the unlisted video response I posted to them (and showing the timeline of their lies) you can view the very detailed video here: 

 

 

 

Weird or not, and not so much the drama, but I do love seeing this hypocrite get put in place and hear them broadcast what we're all thinking.

Watch "Crazy Train" on YouTube

 

 

Replace crazy with gravy 

 

Now Mr Gravy sit down and pay attention. 

 

Lol

 

Seriously though I do have a question for Tommy. 

 

Will there be any more reveals in the next 2 weeks?

TJ says to the old lady "have you lost weight "

 

And off screen you hear "I'm a skeleton now of course I lost weight now let me in"

He reinforces the door after he realizes  what he just said. 

Oh. What about a Mr Gravy action platformer.

 

It'd be a serving dish of gravy with legs (gotta have those cool sneakers too) and the object would be to get through the level without spilling too much gravy.

 

It would slosh around and spill out if you weren't careful.

Me too, well thought out and great game design..incorporates simplicity for beginners and accuracy and timing for more advanced. It’s what I want when I play with my family! MC is day one purchase 😀

Cheers everyone here in the @Tommy Tallarico thread.

Saturday night here and guessing most everyone here is locked in so cheers!

If you don't drink beer or any booze, then raise a glass of water then. 

Hope everyone here stays safe and sane... (yeh like fireworks here in California.. miss the days of real fireworks) and we can all mosey around again like John Wayne out in the world.

Cheers!

Am I the only one who saw this and thought of a detective game?

THE PITCH: Detective Fish (Barney Miller reference) receives a mysterious call one day with an ominous message - his rookie partner (an otter) was investigating some strange goings on at a reef, and was abducted! Now, Detective Fish must use all of his veteran wiles and contacts in a high-stakes thriller: to not only rescue his partner, but to piece together clues found along the way, revealing the true scope of the case the otter was looking into.

Coming soon (or not, who's to say): FISH - OUT OF OTTER!
