Same here! This and release date are most interesting stuff at this point. (and games of course)

For the Lebowski game, you could choose your character. If you pick Jesus, you have to polish your ball before throwing.

This way you do have a built in sequel game that does not need a "2" in it..

Less than 5 hours away from the Amico Special Event. This is going to be fun!

Silly question of the day: How many people will be wearing their I'm a Shill for Tommy Amico shirt today?

Got my email reminder last night and I was like

Today is the big day.  Also, I look forward to OEB Pete's pre-show.

Update: The event is 8/5 at 1pm ET.

Speaking of that email...

 When you all registered for the Amico event.  Did anyone decide to ask a question when registering?  I did.  Hopefully it gets answered.

There's new T-Shirts in the IE shop.  Check it out.  Tommy said new stuff would be in the shop by 8/4.  He was right.  I'm glad we finally got new merch.  I like the Thunder Castle shirt with the Running Man logo on the castle.  That's a nice touch.  Does this mean we're getting Thunder Castle on Amico?  Wouldn't that be interesting?

T-shirts and hoodies. August 4 is starting off on a good note... except for the fact a huge storm swept through my area and knocked out the power and tore up my roof. Other than that, it's starting off great!

Yes it's a great start for 8/4.  Sorry to hear about your power going out and your roof being torn up.  

Now that we have new merch in the IE shop, I wonder if Tommy will honor the old discount code from April.  Perhaps a new one can be sent out.  I'm thinking he might give a new discount code after the event today.  That would be really nice.  I want to get the Thunder Castle shirt.

As long as you can still stream.. All is good.. Right? Sorry to hear about your roof. hope everyone is safe!

I'm still hoping we get a keychain in the IE shop, like a mini replica Amico console or the Amico name keychain.

It's hard to believe this Q&A is almost at 1,000 pages.  We'll probably be at 1,000 by late August.  I know I'm partly to blame, lol.  Sorry about that.

"Oh 2020, not again"

Wah wah...

(Seriously. Can this year screw off already).

I'm sorry to hear about your roof. I had the same thing happen to me literally the day I signed for my house. Thankfully insurance covered the damages.

Love the idea!!! YES we need!!!!

Building on that (Credit Intellivision Master for this) I know this may be a bit expensive. But what about a controller keychain with RFID? A small amount of storage. Touch the "controller" to the console and it fills up with previews or messages that only keychain owners get. Fun things.

That would be really cool.  I like the idea.  Someone has to tell Tommy.

Tommy hasn't been on here since last Tuesday when he posted the announcement #2 video.  I hope he comes back.  I'm sure he will at some point.  He has a lot to catch up on.  Poor Tommy.  I know he's been very busy lately.

Great idea, let's just hope they don't eat batteries like Dreamcast's VMUs lol.

I would love to see some Activision-like patches for some Amico games for sale. Like what we are getting in the Founder's Edition, but for Amico games.

I just hope we won't be required to take a photo of the TV screen and mail it in. I always wanted to do that with Pitfall, but my mom didn't want to waste film on it.

And all is good with my house. It's just a roof. Probably needed fixing anyway.  Now that the storm has passed, the power it back on and it's time for some Amico news.  Only 3 hours to go.

That's good to hear.  Yes, we're getting closer to the event.  The suspense is killing me, lol.
