[alanschu]

And long too!  Well, man hour wise.

Man as in homo sapien

[metadigital]

Does that set include the newer homo sapiens sapiens?

 

 

I was quoting from Life of Brian, btw.

[alanschu]

Were those the things that picked up Brian when he fell from the Tower?

[metadigital]

No, it was the People's Front of Judea, or the Judean People's Front, and their charter that included Eric Ilde's "Stan" character right to have babies. (He piped up and said "Or woman" whenever John Cleese read out a new codicil.)

[alanschu]

Those things that saved Brian were particularly humourous, in a WTF sort of way.

Atari should have stuck with sucky consoles and stayed out of PC games. Just like Bioware needs to stick with PC and leave consoles alone.

[DarthMethos]

So what is new with Atari? :D

They seem to be on the edge of closure every so many years.

They will recover. Good old Atari.

 

 

Quick question:

From all the weird posts: When did drinking hour start?

Damit! I think I missed it. <_<

Not the same Atari.

[Gabrielle]

No?

 

Nice post count J.E. you should keep it there.

[Judge Hades]

The Atari that made the Atari 2600 and the Jaguar died years ago. When I say died, I mean deader than a can of spam. Infogrammes bought the Atari logo and name from the remnants so they can have actual name recognition.

Yikes, creepy

Neither do I. After what happen to Bloodlines and Troika itself.

No doubt they, Atari, Take Two and all the others will soon go broke, leaving only EA to publish games. SimKotor, anyone?

[CoM_Solaufein]

Simkotor? LOL

Are you referring to Activision keeping Troika's doors open long enough so that they could actually release a much needed patch? They could have closed shop right after release, but they didn't.

Aye, ATARi stopped being ATARi in 1976 when the company was sold to Warner Bros. then the brandname(only the name, not the people) has been passed around like a hot potato between diffrent companies. Lastly the name and logy etc. was bought by Infrogrames who then "became" the ATARi we have today which is a company who has absolutely nothing whatsoever with the previous incarnations

 

 

Its like if 50cent would buy the brand "elvis presley" and start to release records as Elvis.

[Gorth]

It's an honourable tradition of old publishing companies being bought and run by frenchmen...
