Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

Just so everyone's aware, 1001lives and LordRayken are the same person.  We just discovered he's been using two accounts to post in this and other Amico threads. If you look above, you can see his last two posts (before I permanently banned both of them) were within four minutes of each other.  What you cannot see is that they were both using the same IP.  Further research revealed that he's been doing this for a while, with both accounts posting within minutes of each other consistently, and only in Amico threads..

Man,that's too bad. I liked 1001 lives.

I couldn't stand the other guy,however. 😄

It always seems a new console is a siren song for all the weirdos...still don't know why.

doesnt IP just say they are posting from the same router, therefore its conceivable they could just be roommates or something along those lines.  Just sayin

Was he trying to be Sybil? One side angel and one devil?

 

Nice detective work.

Old stand up joke: Sybil for American Express... 

Hello. You don't know me.-Yes they do!-Shut up!

My Sagittarius moon talks to my Virgo sun all the time.

Yeah, no.  Both accounts only posting in Amico-related threads, typically within minutes of each other?  And I have other evidence I did not share publicly.

 ..Al

then that is one sad and weird dude.

I'm kinda sad cuz he always liked my posts... well half of him did. The 1001 half.

1001lives always seemed to have good things to say about the Amico console.

Of course in the Twilight Zone... Eeer I mean The Amico Zone.. or Ripley's Believe It Or Not... This could be the real story.

Imagine That one... 

This Amico ride sure is an interesting one.

with all due respect, both the description and the video itself were clearly satirical, even if they were mean-spirited; so i think those are just excuses that you're coming up with in order to justify your actions, no different than those who like to abuse the copyright system in order to get back at people who disagree with them. either way, it was a pansy move on your part. And, yes... i get extremely triggered when it comes to censorship, especially during this present time in which the bill of rights and all our freedoms are being eviscerated under the pretense of a global health crises.

With all due respect I am not responsible for your sensitives based on your world view. If you are actually concerned about those issues then you may want to brush up on what "copyright claim" and "censorship" means since no copyright claim was made (or suggested) and rights to free speech are not part of the YouTube use agreement. YouTube is a private company which makes their own content rules and rely on user feedback for policy violations which they, at their sole discretion, enforce. YouTube is not a platform for free speech but instead a consumer oriented video service platform driven by consumer ad dollars. You might also want to look up "consumer protection" and "consumer confusion laws" which try to protect consumers against mis-representation and market place confusion, a cause very close to *my* heart & world view. It also seems this is part of Google's world view since they have a category just for those concerns under their policies & reporting system.

There was also the close timing issue, unless maybe they were room mates having to take turns using the same PC to post on Atari Age

Here is my interview with Tommy. My mic was real choppy and cutting out a lot unfortunately. Oh well

If you havent gotten the ceramics for your Ferraris, you should, simple to use and a great result.

I’m betting Tommy has had it ceramic coated and doesn’t need to wax it....

Full disclosure as I want to get ahead of this before it comes out..........

Rev and I are the same person. 
My apologies to those of you that thought we were just besties on the interwebz. For those of you that have met us in person at PRGE please understand that the less handsome one was an actor we hired. 

I hope the Amico is fairly easy to tear down. I can imagine that some industrious person will chrome, anodize, or use billit aluminium for any of the parts and truly customize their console.

one of my favorite lines from orwell's 1984 was when winston refers to his wife as a human sountrack, which of course denotes the idea of a lifeless, mindless automaton that simply regurgitates party propaganda without any independent, critical thought or analysis.

Hardware, Software, and now footware (but no shovelware). Sounds like the sole of a great company.

Actually Rick would be the lovable sidekick as he is one of the nicest people I've met. Paul would be the dickish other guy. 😂
