OH SHIT! This IS real! WTF?!?!?!

I'm on the CUSA Facebook page (and I've no idea why), and I saw that they posted this there too, and not on April 1st.

Sadly all the groupies there are all like,"oh wow, my baby is coming back and now it will be dual core!" Or they are expressing sentiments about their longing to own the movie...


 Has anyone seen this movie? It was horrid just like the Star Wars prequels and had hardly anything to do with the original, plus it broke many of the rules of the original, like How come the son bleeds within the matrix? And what use does a computer Matrix have for a disco club ran by a homosexual club owner? Once more, what do programs need vanity for? Oh, and how is it that the son suddenly drops into the game and is a gaming expert, but his father was dumbfounded and clumsy and had to build his skills before he could survive...

Total crap!

What's the price?

Dual core Atom with Ion2 isn't bad for the C64x.  What would you have put in it instead and kept the price about the same?  Remember, the contracts were done months ago.

What we\'re witnessing is the sad, lonely crowing of that last, doomed cock.

The best part of the movie imo was when the kid turned on the power and the arcade came to life with all the retro ambience.  Was funny they used Journey - Love Will Find You, which is used on that 3D flythrough animation people use on that MAME cabinet intros.

Rest of the movie ?  hm.. came close to shutting it off a few times :/

Don't have space in any of me garages for cars, too busy stocking them up with REAL Commodore products to sell to the disillusioned CUSA customers when they finally realise they've been conned... ;)

PS:where ya been, did Barry pay for that all expenses paid cruise you've been on (suppose it's a wee bit better than some of his nice cool Coke Zero)... :D

Oh not much, just got use of the Commodore USA private jet for a month or so with some rented Playboy Playmates. You know the old saying what happens in Vegas?

Franko, give Red a break.

He's not some CUSA lackey, he's a decent bloke that's moderated this place since before I was even a member.

The facts are that he just went to see what CUSA was about in person and reported his findings as objectively as possible. What he saw changed his stance from an initially negative one to a comparatively neutral one. People are allowed to do that. He may look "pro CUSA", but only because he stands out against the general tide of negativity here. Of which I can't deny being a part myself (whilst trying to be objective, I'm no fan of what I've seen to date of CUSA. Bad first impressions last)

You know something, there's probably more truth in that statement than anything else you've said in a long time... ;)

Seek the truth Karlos and then see if you can say that same comment with complete honesty... :)

I have a VERY high quality laser disc rip of the original at home (sitting on the hard drive next my original Evil Dead and Star Wars laser disc rips from Japan). So no holding out on a Blue Ray release for me. Now if I can just find a deal on the old Arcade Games... ;)
