Podcasting Day: The Amico Grift with Pat Contri 🌭
Added 2022-06-29 12:00:07 +0000 UTC
Imagine a box in your own home that could play computerized video arcade games! Now imagine they were outdated, poorly made, and designed under oppressive restrictions written by a Nazi's coolest friend. Also, that box I mentioned? It doesn't exist, but you can pre-order one with a $100 deposit. Also, that box you pre-ordered? It got delayed! Sorry, we meant canceled! Today on the Dogg Zzone 9000 we try to make sense of the extremely cursed Intellivision Amico with Internet Nintendo Game Champion, Pat "The NES Punk" Contri!
Listen here, or wherever you podcast!
Pat is a true podcasting professional who brought his own sound clips and far more knowledge than Sean's pathetic ten hours of research managed to uncover. And thank the dunk shoots of Flazer, because the Intellivision Amico's fall from bad idea to failure to embarrassment to scandal to fraud has spanned several years and 280,000 hours of YouTube drama. You will be astonished at how many bad ideas it took for Tommy Tallarico to turn 17 million dollars into nothing. Speaking of astonishingly bad ideas, patrons get a bonus podcast where Pat and Brockway try to decode the language of foreign phone games from 2005 in a very special Seanbaby's Book Game.

Why does Tommy Tallerico sound like Craig Finn...?

2022-07-02 01:01:13 +0000 UTCThis reminds me so much of the Star Citizen shitshow. I'd suggest you cover it, but there's still a much larger base of insane nerds paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars for spaceships that don't exist except as models on the sales page. I've just realised this means Chris Roberts invented NFTs years ago.

2022-06-30 02:13:38 +0000 UTCWow. I learned quite a bit here. I was also a backer of the Retro magazine (Sean's involvement hooked me) and was a little puzzled when it stopped but just figured it had folded like just about all print media does these days. I never knew anything about the game system... I guess because Sean wasn't involved?
