Sure the Vintage and VIP (there's that V again or is it vegan....🤔) will not be swayed but the poor general public will fall under the influence of the G....

Tommy, you should contact the emoji board and have them update their controller emoji, its outdated.  🎮

No.  That won't be possible.  But ya know the hackers will be trying.  

 

 

I was actually thinking of asking you about anti-hacking stuff a while ago. Then I realized there is no point since that stuff is supposed to be a secret so it's harder to hack the thing.

Or is this April fools?

Nope, not an April fools. Blu-Rays and DVDs delivered old school ....DVD.netflix.com.  I also have access to an account I can use for streaming.

Technically, I think the woodgrain version isn't going to be sold in stores, so that's still a "limited edition of the console which will not be made available in stores" and we don't yet know how many of those are going to be made.

Correct.  The are limited and only available to purchase through our website.  They are the exact models we had in mind when we made that statement.

This video made me laugh so hard ...

"Intellivision was the first video game console to have a built-in PAUSE feature on the controller."

 

I remember being able to push either the 1-9 buttons or the 3-7 buttons simultaneously to pause the system.

 

Has this cool little feature made it's way to the Amico?

 

 

Who else remembers playing games such as bowling or golf with your buddies, and when it was your turn (your buddy holding the other controller) would purposely push the disc just after you set up your shot (you could tell because the speaker from the TV would make a clicking noise) and it made your bowling ball curve into the gutter or your golf ball mysteriously shank into the trees or the sand trap.

 

"Hey! you pushed the disc and messed up my shot!!!"! NO I DIDN'T!!! Yes you did!, I heard the clicking sound you $#&$*% a** hole!!! 😆👉😖

Fists would fly, noogies and purple nurples would be given, my mother would get so upset because of all the ruckus going on. Competition was fierce!

 

So, a rule had to be put in place that the other controller could NOT be touched until the other persons turn was over.

 

Those were the good ol' days...lol 😂

 

When you push the small "home" button on the top of the controller (by the top of the screen) it acts like a "pause" button.  From there you can quit the game or go to the games menu, etc.)

I think Tommy mentioned that the woodgrain version will be sold at certain retailers but it won't have the perks of the FE or the VIP woodgrain.

No.  Just directly through our website.

I thought it was that the purple, red ones would be exclusives at certain retailers, but the woodgrain one would be exclusive from IE.

Correct!

Wouldn't IE be a select retailer?

 

Correct. 

Congrats on the successful vip pre sale Tommy! Happy for you guys and even tho I didn’t order the black I will try to pick one up on launch. Can’t wait for my 2 FE woody models to get here 😊

Wait wait wait...

 

I'm starting to see the pattern here.

 

Glacier White

Graphite Black

GTO Red

Galaxy Purple

 

They ALL start with G!!!!!!

 

What's the deal Tommy????

 

The people have a right to know!!!!!

 

Oh and some will say there's a Vintage Woodgrain but that's ONLY sold in their online store....so the public...those good citizens of the world...they will see Gs everywhere ... everywhere ..it'll hypnotize the masses and they'll all be under a spell.

 

Sure the Vintage and VIP (there's that V again or is it vegan....🤔) will not be swayed but the poor general public will fall under the influence of the G....

 

Gravy!!!!

 

I see it now the world divided into Vegans and Gravyites.

 

What a dystopian nightmare that will be.

It's all a conspiracy!!

And our investors are mostly Knights Templars. 

New World Order bitches!!!   Amico is coming for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will you be able to save game progress for games like cloudy mountain/Treasure of Tarmin; and/or save your winnings when playing gambling games.

Actually, GP like you is not to be informed of this, and We will deal with the loose lips from our "brother".
