Tommy took a beating in that suit.

That was another fun video.  You really took a beating.  But you made it.  Well done.  At least they didn't hit you in the private area.  But the suit would've protected you anyway.  Tommy is like Jackie Chan doing his own stunts.  As Reggie would say, "My body is ready".

The guy on the video who opens this page is a perfect example of the level of debate people "against" the Amico offer.

 

Very informative video, even if for different reasons that intended.

 

Just make sure you don't watch more than 5 minutes for your own mental health.

Great points thanks for watching and commenting. Agree if you blindly love Amico then avoiding watching this video is best. I know it drives some people mad hearing real questions asked. Instead of more butt kissing  :D

What in the world?  I started watching this, guy can't go 30 seconds without dropping an F-bomb.  OK fine, some people speak like that, just not my cup of tea.  So I skip ahead to see some points, he's raising ok points about some of the games and not wanting to "go back in time" and the Amico games might not be for him. Then near the end he drops his dream of a VR-sex system and thought Tommy should have gone that route.  Forget fun for the family and kids, that market is ok, let's all invest in a virtual reality sex machine.  I can't believe what I just watched. lol

Yes for younger viewers they prefer hearing real talk. For other inteviews geared at seniors I don't swear. Thanks I hoped to make the video have some important questions and some wild fun. Yes Tommy was the person who taught me hypersexualized games are the best. Like his review of bouncing boobs in Dead or Alive. You should check it out it haven't seen it. That sex machine your making fun of has sold more units then the Amico crowdfunding efforts have. By a long shot its not even close. 

Nintendo has family fun locked down. Did it by releasing the Switch with two controllers right out of the box. 

I agree with Tommy that Amico will sell well. But I still think if he released a sex video game it would sell even better. People wanted to see Jordan play basketball but they would still pay to see him play baseball. Because we all loved him so much.

I think mental health problems are very common in the haters group.

 

Are you calling anyone that disagrees with Amico a hater ? I did my best to provide both likes and dislikes. And are you mocking people that do have mental health issues? Or did I read that wrong. I am a little slow.

Check out this guys shirt. I'm guessing it's supposed to be some sort of a "tough" Transformers/skeleton hybrid... but it looks more like Sonic the Hedgehog.

 

Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Maybe you can ask Shaun Hatton from Electric Playground? Its his bands logo for "Cybertronic Spree" . Its a very popular Transformers cover band. He was kind enough to give me some shirts for helping promote his music. Never did get shirt ( or anything ) while volunteering to help with Video Games Live... Or I would have worn it. 
More info on the shirt-

Since NASA is the topic and as an example, the youtuber who opens this page says that NASA was wasting too much money until you-know-who came in and limited their budget.

 

It's one of the many things that were said in the video, just like the part when he says that all IE employees are volunteers. Really difficult to keep track or make a list, and I don'r really recommend trying it.

I got the NASA wasting time and money quote from Buzz Aldrin at Fan Expo 2008. I paid to see him speak. He said he is very disappointed in NASA not exploring space with more manned missions. We literally haven't had a man leave orbit in 50 years. But the parking lot a JPL is loading with Sports cars just like Tommy's. And not a single Golf Tee time available anywhere near a NASA facility. Its' welfare for rich people. They never do any real work, just spend money like crazy. Trump is returning us to the moon. Like we should have been doing the whole time. 

I tend to agree with Buzz over the current NASA administration. I hope more of them resign. It's not that I hate NASA. I just think they can do so much better. I love em just as much as Tommy. I used to watch every NASA news briefing since I was 5 years old. But I stopped after the last Mars rovers. Its just not accomplishing anything. We need to take control of the moon before China does. 

Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️

This sounds like part of an argument that I don't want to interject into, but I don't think Buzz was alone in that thinking. A lot of the original Apollo astronauts got frustrated with how we raced to the moon and then suddenly stopped. I was blessed enough to be able to speak with Gene Cernan back in '97, and he was so hopeful that we'd go back and go back soon. You could hear the passion in his voice as he spoke about it, but he didn't want to be the last man to step foot on the moon. 

 

As for the video, it definitely keeps the humor going. And yes, it was very reminiscent of the old Super Dave sketches. I liked how they really hammered home the date of the event at the end.  Very well done.

That was quite funny and a great hommage to that crazy canuck stuntman/inventor that was Troy James Hurtubise!

More people should know about this guy!
 

Cheers!

After watching the Special Event Announcements how could you not think the games are going to be fun?

Loving the light show on the Amico at 0:11.  Very cool.  Another hilarious video.  Kudos to the Intellivision team!

Ok, lets put that one in the suggestion box for now..😄 
How come you have not yet managed to understand who the target audience for the Amico is? At least wait with making videos with suggestions and concerns for a product until you understand the most basic concepts of it.

I know full well that sex sells, it's just odd that you'd suggest that for Tommy's vision when he's clearly expressed what they're trying to accomplish. I wasn't making fun of the sex machine that's sold so well, I was making fun of you suggesting the Amico should have gone that route. Could Disney make tons of cash releasing porn versions of their characters? Probably, should they? Nooooo
