Remember, in current year it's cool to pretend to like nerdy things, but not cool to actually like them or be a nerd. Most of the morons who waste money on this shit are people who think they're 1337 g4m3rz because they watch Twitch streams and LPs, and maybe actually play vidya once every couple of weeks.

      Atari, as it is now, will licence it's brand out to anyone if they get paid enough. They've overseen new version of classic Atari properties which are, to be charitable, abject fucking garbage. Terribly developed games that barely function that were farmed out to crappy devs to be made as cheaply as possible and hopefully make a quick buck for the rights holder.
      They aren't picky at all.

    • @LUCKO2022
      @LUCKO2022 7 років тому +17

      Atari aka Infogrames (who own the Atari IP still to this date) are basically whoring their names out to whoever gives them money for whatever reason. They even got Nolan Bushnell back (the man who founded the original Atari).
      That is how they got the Atari name. It means nothing these days and most gamers these days don't even know the name Atari (outside of the hardcore gamers, the casual audience has no idea of their existence) so essentially the brand is worthless.

      Atari may have had a chance to be relevant again during the Midway games era of the late 1990s, but when that went broke the IP is pretty much licensed to anyone making the brand somewhat worthless. It's like how Zenith or Westinghouse used to mean something back in the 1980's, but is now a brand you'll see stamped on worthless Chinese junk.

    Here's just some ideas with wearables, I wish I could buy this stuff right now
    *Smart cloths that wireless charge your devices just from your pocket your face/ wrist
    *Why have a smart watch when you could have smart glasses, if it repaces the $300 screens in our flagship phones they will pay for themselves
    * If the battery is in your clothes/ pocket, you don't need massive batteries in our phones
    *If we're all wearing clothes with Tech in them, then why not combine phones and laptops, just a computing device could by
    0.3 /5 /5 and could be moved around your clothes, the power/ data wires wouldn't even be noticeable.
    *Who needs a gaming headset when your microphone is built into your shirt
    *This is already a thing but you could put a heating pad in your clothes, it's already a side effect I'm putting electronic so close to your body, obviously cooling will need to be a concern but heat is certainly appreciated

    I will never again purchase something with an AMOLED display. Period. My phone has one, and within a year, it had the most horrible burn in I had ever seen on anything in my entire life. Now it's to the point of ridiculous and I can't afford another one. On a white screen I can see multiple status bars up top, a big rectangular chunk in the middle, and the entire keyboard at bottom. You can see it no matter what though. And it's a pretty big display that doesn't stay on 24/7...couldn't imagine that on a watch.

    Too many people here not dissing this, but dissing smartwatches in general. As someone who has had one, they have their uses. Used my apple for tracking my swimming, for example. Also had a gameband product in the past and it worked very well for what it was. Kept all my Minecraft saves safe in the band and on the cloud, and I was able to plug and play whether I was home or on a school or library computer. That being said, I'm not sure about the ethics and craftsmanship of this particular product. From the looks, it's not a scam yet but a struggle at best. But what I do know is the "gameband" idea had its merits for being able to plug in to any computer and play with all your saves and the smartwatch thing is not a waste for people who like little gadgets or have a specific use for it. Lots of people here don't seem to understand that just because they don't see a use for anything it doesn't mean other people don't have one. Again I'm not commenting on this product specifically because it does look very behind and a bit like a dumpster fire, but I have nothing against the gameband concept or the smartwatch one in general. They're great for the people that have a use for them, coming from someone who's used both at one point or another.

      JackNet Productions​ Yeah those days were great. Too bad my college locked it's bios so I can't boot off of my external hard drive anymore.
      I guess someone already had my idea before I got to college and it got too big and someone ruined it. I never told anyone else how to do it and only one guy figured it out. Once I left I let a few people in on how to do it.

      You can buy the complete collection of Keen games on Steam for $5 and you can get a Keen 1 and 4 on the Android Apps Store for free. Keen 4 has the Pong game on a wrist watch so that can be the definitive version though I've played the first game in the series slightly more.

    You know what's really easy to use? Amazon Music. It can stream my music so that I don't have to store it on an SD card.
    Okay, maybe I sound salty, but it's probably because I think my Pebble Time is the ultimate smart watch. Why? Because it does a really good job of being, first and foremost, a WATCH. It has 7-day battery life. It's always readable. It doesn't waste power running various apps. I sound like an evangelical but this thing does what I want a smart watch to do without all the trappings of standalone Android thingies. I can see who is calling and dismiss the call immediately without pulling my phone out. I can read texts in an instant. I can't fathom why people interested in smart watches bought anything else. I never have to plug an SD card or anything else into my watch. It gets everything it needs from my phone.
    Most of the things people claim are negatives about the Pebble and Pebble Time (no touchscreen, for instance) are the very reasons why it's so great.

    I'm glad to see you talking about the Kickstarter. When it launched a couple of friends pointed it out to me and i thought it was one of the stupidest ideas ever. "You can do the same thing with a Pen Drive. Heck, even with Steam Cloud", i said. And i loved the StormFly part, shows even more the scammy nature of this campaign. How people fell for this stuff? Cheers.

    • @StopDropRetro
      @StopDropRetro  7 років тому

      Yeah, you can tell this campaign was going to be sketchy before it even launched. It's shameful that this guy is just trying to sell flash storage in different formats and doesn't even tell his backers about his previous campaign.

    Oh, and I know your thing is tech kickstarters (or it is from what I've seen thus far), but one of the funniest scam trends I've ever seen actually comes from the world of yarn. Yes, yarn. It started with small vendors overselling spots in subscription services known as yarn clubs which are huge with some hand knitters. To escape the heat, someone started a rumor about their own death. Then only minutes later got busted. This has started the ongoing joke about "being dead for 15 minutes". One of the biggest "dead for 15 minutes" scams came from a company called FibroFibers. It was also one of the top Kickstarter scams of all time, so it's pretty easier to research. I was shocked when it went down, as I actually knew the company owner from a disability support group. She's since vanished, as far as I can tell.
