Maybe AA needs to now stand for Amico Anonymous.

3 already and maybe a 4th...

You have a Sugar Momma paying for all these Amicos!!!

I like Amico Army better.  Although we do seem to have a lot of Navy folks around these parts... so maybe that's a big no no!  

So I keep seeing all you folks with orders for multiple units, and I might be slightly jealous. I had a hard enough time justifying pre-ordering one. If I had tried for two, I'd still be sleeping in the shed.

I can only speak for myself, but I think Amico Army is acceptable. 

The only inter-service rivalry that counts is the Army-Navy football game. 🏈

Just saw this one.

Hahaha!

You should print that on the box with biggest letters possible. "WERE NOT SELLING GUILT". 😄

It may be "you never know"

Wouldn't that be something™?

Thank you. That would be something.

hey Tommy when you were thinking of a name for the console did the name AmicoVision cross your mind? lol

How about a bumper sticker?  A refrigerator magnet?  I even suggested to Tommy about a Running Man statue that lights up.

Actually i love the idea of a running man that lights up...USB powered kind thing...looks good by my PC or maybe plugged into the back of the amico.

Oooh, Oooh...what about an RBG running man plugging into the back of the AMICO that mimics the lighting effects for the games...don't know if it takes away from the playability of the game as we don't really know how thats working yet but if its simple enough...why not?!?

Okay, let's forget the fanny pack.  How about a Funko Pop of the Running Man?

I like the Funko Pop Running man idea...but a series of them. Imagine having a Funko pop of the running man (vanilla), then a running man like we saw in AD&D that had a bow, Then the one that we saw in the gamescom trailer where the Running Man looked to be grabbing a coin. I'm going to need a bigger display case

...and for good measure, maybe a Running Man leg lamp.

Is he really?  I knew I liked him for a reason.  AND he worked for NASA?  IE is practically Apollo 12 (first all Navy Apollo crew) and you can see the Apollo 12 command module in Hampton, VA

And speaking of Hampton/Newport News, that sounds incredible. I was actually wanting to go to the show in Raleigh, but events go in the way. I will definitely look into getting tickets when it gets rescheduled.  I'd love to meet you someday and say thanks for all that you've done.

 

The Virginia Symphony was supposed to do the music of Star Wars in early June, but I have a feeling that is going to be postponed as well. 

Yeah, my wife and I had tickets for Empire Strikes Back. She and my daughter saw Harry Potter before all this mess started. They loved it.

And then you were probably called a Tommy fanboy.

 

Some of the YouTube comments from "other" AA forum members are pretty telling.  Read the nonsense that the likes of folks like djconvoy spout about how you're all just blind fans of mine who don't have a mind of their own and only want to try and get close to a pseudo 3rd rate celebrity in hopes that I pay attention to you. 

The reality is I don't know any of you before this thread started... and I've never met 95+% of you in person.  They use the same sad excuses over and over again.

 

1.  Anyone who likes the system is nothing more than a Tommy fanboy looking for attention.

 

2.  Everyone really hates it and we must block all the overwhelming negative comments on our YouTube channel. 

 

If that was the case... how come we have over 51,000 views in 3 days on the new trailer and just over 100 Dislikes on the video?  Simple question that they have no answer to when confronted.  As I've stated many times... yeah... we take down filthy language and clear on purpose hatred.  But it's literally the same 7 or 8 people over and over and over again.  Every time.  Same handful of folks.  It's pathetic.  btw... you want to know who the folks are who get nuked from the comments?  CLEARLY THE ONES WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT!!     And it's the same handful of folks every time.  btw... almost ALL of which have been banned from this thread in the past.  They of course go on to say that I have all the mods in my back pocket to do my bidding.  No matter what proof is given or the reality is... they don't care.  Same lies over and over and over again.  Nice lives eh?

 

 

5%er here! I'm a Tommy fanboy! It must be true! Just look at my gamer picture! LOL

I saw John Williams conduct the Chicago Symphony Orchestra years ago, and it was nothing short of amazing. I don't know if that could ever be topped.  But then, I've never been to a VGL show before...

And the giant intellivision robot is formed

See if we were all wanting Tommy's attention we wouldn't bust his balls all day. 😋

Besides I think everyone here knows that I'd rather see John Alvarado than Tommy Tallarico any day.

But the reason Tommy is cool is not that he's famous but rather he's down to earth.

I think we'd all hate him if he was a phoney celebrity. 

We like him because he's one of us and not because he is famous.

I think Tommy mentioned the shape of the Amico would make sense once more info was announced. Not sure what to make of that.

I hope Amico fits into a keyboard component contraption that turns Amico into a home computer...you know, so the kids can do their homework and mom and I can balance our budget along with working out with whatever the equivalent of Jack LaLane is nowadays. But I'm pretty sure it's something alot better than that.  😁

I am so ready for the world normalize soon.😷
