i used to watch gamester81 every once in a while.  some of his console review videos i found interesting, even though a lot of times he barely knew what he was talking about and he would be banging them around like a small child would.  i stopped watching at all after his channel seemed to turn into just commercials for collectorvision.  but this is why they hired him to be their PR person cause he had a built in audience already for their commercials.

I have no idea what Collectorvision is. I think I'll keep it that way.

Metal Jesus I can stomach.

This gamester81 guy, I want to like him, but it has yet to happen. 

I really do try to give folks a chance, even when I know I will never "love" them.

"There's a lock for the CD door, that's kind weird, not sure why they would include that"... This guy obviously does not have small children. If there's a button, they're gonna press it.
The lock is genius. Wish my 360 had one

I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out how this could possibly have got even weirder
than before.

Quote from: JohnCarlson
The true visionary behind this project is Mike Kennedy. He’s also a marketing person with a big heart, and he wants to reciprocate the enthusiasm our followers show us by being totally open and sharing everything. I get it, and I admire him for that. But he talks, and he talks about everything I show or tell him. Again, he’s a marketing person, and that’s what marketing people do.

Knowing this about Mike (and about marketing people in general), causes me (as an engineer) to be very cautious in choosing what I share with him. The reason for this is very simple: our inventions are valuable, and premature public disclosure of our inventions would cause us to lose the ability to protect them with patents.
For most of this year I’ve been working crazy long startup hours on this project. I’ve drained my own savings to pay for both my living expenses and building prototype circuits. I have invested a lot of time and money, I have a lot to show for it.

The problem is: I can’t patent what I share publicly. As a result, I’ve been protecting my inventions as if they were my own children.

RETRO VGS first quick demo


Now their tech guy is claiming that there is a prototype, but he's not told his "boss" because he's afraid that it would spoil his ability to patent all the new inventions ... that he's already started to patent ... without telling his boss ... and so presumably by himself ... meanwhile leaving his partners flapping in the wind for a week with a failing crowdfunding campaign.

What a f**king great guy to go into business with!

Apart from which ... what the heck is patentable!!!! All that he's got to show is basically a Raspberry PI stuffed under a Jag-Wire shell, running X-Windows ... or maybe even less!!!!

I just don't know how to deal with this particular level of crazy sh*t!!!!  :shock:  ](*,)  :shock:

Admittedly, I've hardly followed the (apparently very "entertaining" ) goings-on with this VGS thing, but from the little that I have caught, these folks seem a little out of the loop.
The ability to patch your software and update your hardware is a feature, not a bug.

I am sorry, but everything on that table looks like a prop.

He elaborated on irrelevant things (the power supply? The power supply?), but did not provide much beyond these gems:
(1) we are working with some of the best attorneys in Silicon Valley
(2) we must protect our patents
(3) no cooling fans necessary!
(4) did you see how I carefully arranged all the props on my table? Doesn't it look "organic" like an actual workbench, where actual work is conducted? Yeah, I cut a few cables. I really did.

Uhh...that video doesn't tell me anything about the product. Also, that is no workbench. I have very limited electronic repair experience but even my paltry setup is not that crowded. I couldn't begin to test or repair anything with shit everywhere, like that guy has. Surely, this guy knows what he is doing, right?
