Johnny Turbo's daughter contacted me

[Joe Redifer]

She wants me to interview her dad. I have no idea what I would ask him. Nor do I have any clue how I could incorporate it into my media offerings. So I never got back to her.

Also did you know NEC Avenue published the arrange soundtrack to Panzer Dragoon Zwei? What do you think of this highly controversial subject?

Also, Red Vines or Twizzlers?

[HailingTheThings]

Have people submit questions they want you to ask him and feature it on the Sack.

My question: Boxers or briefs or both or neither. There, you are welcome.

I had no idea that NEC Avenue published the arrange soundtrack to Panzer Dragoon Zimbabwe. I am intrigued. Thank you for that.

Red Vines sound like some sort of ghetto liquor store brand version of twizzler, I think I would choose them for obvious reasons. Although, saying "Twizzler!" is its own kind of fun that, seemingly, at least to me, would last the span of no less than three (3) beej's.

Thank you, you've been lovely. I'm really tired. Yay.

I'm so mad that I can't think of anything interesting to ask right now.

I recently discovered Dr. Pepper flavored licorice at one of my local dollar stores, I'm kind of addicted now.  I don't think it's made by Red Vines or Twizzler though, says Kenny's Candy Company on the back.  In Googlin', looks like they have a few different flavors, like A&W & such.  Sadly didn't see Mountain Dew, Pepsi, or Sunkist flavored.

That's awesome.

You have to film footage. It doesn't matter if you have any plans for it, you WILL use it. At some point. Even if it is published on the Night of the Apocalypse, it will be worth it  (I tend to watch videos when society/life-as-we-know-it crumbles...I find videos comforting).

Personally, the most obvious project is a simple, respectful "history of TG-16" mini-documentary. Something that is not designed to be a joke. Even if it was only a few minutes long.


ASIDE:
I have had random folks (artists, journalists, etc.) contact me over the past decade, but I couldn't verify that everyone was legit. Most were.

Anyway, only one FMV actor (not verified) contacted me. Nothing groundbreaking. He didn't really remember anything. I like to think that he was legit, because the exchange was so normal/uneventful.

I never updated that old page because I don't know if my exchange was legit.

BOTTOM LINE:
If you have a chance for interviewing J.B., you gotta document all the TG-16 and Sega stuff he was involved with.

See if he has any clear info on user base (TG-CD, TG-16), the DUO Intelligent Link prototype (he demoed it on Computer Chronicles), the demise of TTi (his transition to Sega), the similarities/differences between experiences at NEC/TTi vs.  Sega. His specific roles, duties, tasks...uncredited work/unreleased stuff he was involved with (or simply aware of—Riftwar Saga, Dangerous Journeys, etc.).

Did they really only do the Johnny Turbo thing because their boss at TTI couldn't understand the joke?

Also does he still have any prototypes from back then? And what's the story with Fantasy Star Soldier, a game that's pretty much complete, but never released.

You can contribute the interview to The Video Game Years.

Sooooo..... what's the daughter look like?  Tit pics or GTFO! 

A real question if you ever talk to him: did they have plans to stick him and Tony into any games, either as main characters or as easter eggs?

tell her to sign up here and immediately post a WTB thread.  thats the quickest way to a warm welcome.

[exodus]

interview him for what?

Also, don't be disgusting, seriously. imagine if she (or any woman for that matter) came and saw this thread, would they every want to talk to any of us?

[Joe Redifer]

They can't see it unless they sign up. And if they do, well, y'all f*cked!

Also Red Vines over Twizzlers any day. Preferring Twizzlers is un-American.

[Necromancer]

I'd rather eat black licorice. 

Also, don't be disgusting, seriously. imagine if she (or any woman for that matter) came and saw this thread, would they every want to talk to any of us?

What I wrote was obviously a joke.  If any females (or manginas) are greatly offended by it, the rest of the internet will kill them.

[exodus]

it's only obviously a joke if people know you - and I am guessing she doesn't! regardless it's not a very welcoming joke.

[Sarumaru]

Also, Red Vines or Twizzlers?

Neither. Australian-style licorice FTW!
