What happened to Rising Stuff : (

I think I saw a nipple, an a butt, but I cannot be sure...

They did do a couple of funny game play videos

http://www.youtube.com/user/RisingStuff

funny how they were trashing the games they were demo-ing and they were even kinda trashing their customers...."oh this game came with that little piece of foam I know how you guys LOVE that!" hehe

oh so one of the rising stuff guys is that blonde chubby guy from famicom dojo? I guess he's the good guy who had the baby?

So, I take it that M.H. gave Rising Stuff a piece of his mind? I remember how he was when he got angry/annoyed. He could be rather spicy with the language.

He had a short page on his website about their f*ckups, so they threatened to sue for defamation of character.  They backed off after finding a dictionary and learning that defamation and definition are not interchangeable.

Ahh, thanks .

What really happened is:

Don't forget the threats of legal action against M.H. 

Oh yeah!  lolol.  forgot about that bit of lolness.

I was looking at PS3s back around launch day, and there were a ton of different sellers obviously.  One in particular caught my eye, it was a PS3 with a cute redhead holding it or modeling it or something.  The guy had a bunch of photos of her, and it stated something like you get a bunch of more racy photos.  I asked about it, and he wound up sending me topless photos of his girl with a PS3.  I still have them, but I gotta find them.  I remember finding them a couple years ago and I got a big laugh!

[Tatsujin]

Yeah find 'em,

and then,

post 'em here

Hmmm... So there's a story here - share it?

EDIT: Never mind. Always helps to read the whole thread. 

And for the record, porn and PC Engine isn't a bad angle for an eBay seller. Though, after seeing those photos I suddenly have a fear of popping balloons.

[apachacha]

I still try to figure out of her intention for doing all this..lol.

My friend used to write interesting articles (online and print publications) a few years ago (late 90's, early ) about wacky stuff like that. He shared so many crazy stories.

Anyway, one of my favorite things he did: play chess/card games with this old dude (in his 70's-80's). The dude, of course, played in the nude and had an all-glass table. If you were a free-spirit, like the old codger, you were encouraged to take off your clothes as well, but you were under no pressure to do so. He simply wanted people to play cards/chess with him whilst he was naked.

No pictures, unfortunately.

Reminds me of Nash's WTFIWWY show

That really pissed me off when I watched those videos. I never bought anything from them, but i'm glad I didn't. It just shows that they have no business sense at all, and didn't really give a rats ass about their customers. They were purely in it for the quick money.

[Arkhan]

Kevin seemed to give a rats ass about customers and tried helping when shit went crazy.

Alex on the other hand, yeah hes your typical douchebag American in Japan.  All he needs is a fanny pack and a shitty accent

In the video.... the guy playing the games acting like he's stoned.  He works with Sean Orange at Famicom Dojo... buy/sell/trade and youtube video channel stuff.

I met Sean and Vinnk at the Midwest Gaming classic in either 2003 or 2004...  They seemed like cool guys, but didn't care all that much for PCE....

I'm just curious as to what the link is between them and Rising Stuff.

Small world.
