I put soy sauce on vanilla ice cream once to see what it tasted like. Is that worse?

Wow.  Crazy.  Assuming it's because "weight" is everything is F1 and there are very strict restrictions.

 

 

 

Yep, less weight in F1 = more speed; weight in a military jet, simply speaking, is a balance between range/maneuverability vs. increased durability.

I have yet to find a tasty veggieDog.  Burger yes... dog no.

something about a weenier needs to be just right... where burgers can be a bit more different in tastes where it still works.

TJ

After putting ketchup, mustard and bun... they taste pretty identical. 

These folks are good and typically found in most places these days...

on Hotdogs it's mustard and if they have em chopped onions. Its the only way to go.

Back in the day I liked that liquid cheese crap as well.

I heard ChewbaccaDogs are great!

Just don't eat eWok dogs... they may include hair in the meat.

TJ

Wait... what about the HANburgers!

I also like Wookie Cookies, Yoda Soda and of course... Princess Leia honey buns.  Wampa sno-cones are pretty rad as well.

Traditional Balsamic vinegar on vanilla ice cream is actually pretty awesome!

But it needs to be the REAL stuff.  Not typically shitty store bought fake ass balsamic vinegar.

Hi Tommy. Sounds good. I'll be there for it. BTW, Take a look at this John Dougherty Intellivision game Old Skool High and see what you think. It's a lot like Pac-Man/Pac-Man Jr. You can throw erasers at the bullies to stun them with the fire button. The controls need a little tweeking, maybe, but might be a great update. This is the original free rom version from ~2007.

So I've heard!

My soy sauce was just some low-tier Kikkoman junk. Now that I think about it, I also remember putting soy sauce on yogurt (strawberry or raspberry. Forgot which, but it was pink, so it was one of those two). The ice cream was... tolerable in a weird way.

The yogurt was DEFINITELY not. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO THIS EVER! Tied for some licorice flavoured NyQuil that my dad gave me once when I was sick for being the worst thing I have ever consumed, even though it's medicine and not really food. I literally felt worse after drinking that crappy medicine.

Yeah... we've talked about it internally... but not sure giving them all the credence, attention or legitimacy would be the best way to go.  But we do think it might be really fun to do another more general "Mean Message Boards" type of video.  Call it "Mean YouTubers" and take a variety of the "best" (i.e. WORST) clips from a bunch of different YouTubers and have a little fun (while dropping "facts" in the process).  Keep it light hearted and funny and sometimes self-deprecating.

 

 

Thoughts?

 

For those not knowing what I'm referring to... it's this:

 

 

 

As funny as it.is.

 

 If honestly avoid it . Keep the positivity going.  

I second this thought, albeit conditionally.

For now, leave them make the 'bulletin board material'. Any response would just give them a slight sense of validation.

That said, doing a segment like this between turns playing Cornhole on launch day as a live stream... priceless.

Alright. I can buy that. So I should just Pottery Barn the thing and knock it over on the floor because I never pay attention to where I'm going? Or squirt it with the hose when I'm watering my garden... because I ALWAYS take my (only 4 million left still working) Dreamcast outside to garden?

Heh, no... that'd just be silly. Dreamcast in the garden....

*runs outside to grab the Genesis from the garden*

....still didn't even water the flowers! Blast processing.... pfft

Ketchup and mustard is a solid combo.  Also, personally, I am not a fan of relish myself.  Other great things to put on a dog are chilli, cheese, and aji amarillo imo.

Two schools of thought on the hot dog:

Home made sauerkraut, with a few twists of freshly cracked pepper, or a sharp cheddar cheese sauce, highlighted by a few dashes of hot sauce.

or, you could roll 'em up in biscuit dough... though that does remove the option for slighted toasted, garlic-butter buns...

Hmm.... meh, just do what ya like!

Well in my Acty weight is very very important ha ha

Can I ask what I think is any easy question?

What exactly is a tough question for Tommy about the Amico at this point?

I see Tommy promoting the interview coming up soon and I always enjoy watching them. I appreciate that he’s open to any question, but what tough questions are left to ask? And how is that even defined... one he doesn’t know the answer to?... one where the public’s knowledge is somehow better than his research and first-hand experience?

I would think that considering all the experience on the Amico team, and the investors/stores/governments they've dealt with, they’ve already (successfully) answered all the tough questions to even get this far.

Even when he’s repeating stuff I’ve already heard, I still enjoy the heck out of these interviews, but it struck me today that I have no idea what a realistic tough question for him would be at this stage. No doubt there are loads of questions that he hasn’t been asked from the public, but I wonder how many of them would really be tough for him to field.

I've asked this before.  I'm not sure what the "hard" questions are that people aren't asking. I mean, I could think of uncomfortable questions to ask, but not really hard.  The people who complain that the hard questions aren't being asked are just the people who don't get Amico or don't want one.

A tough question for Tommy can probably be one that he can't answer because of "patents pending" or surprise he have to keep along the way. 🙂

You're 100% correct.   It's all just hater hyperbole at this point.  There isn't a single "tough" question I haven't answered.

Twice over the past month I have purposely gone into the haters dens to see what they had.  Canadian Gamer actually defends us at this point (admits the machine isn't for him but understands the target market)... and TonyTGD well... that was just a plain massacre with him just trying to fight with me the entire time (while getting simple statistics and misunderstanding articles completely wrong).

So yeah... I'm with you.  And I say it at the beginning of EVERY interview (as I will again tonight).  Ask me as many tough questions as you'd like.  I have great answers for every one of them.
