Big Cass Released From WWE.com

Well, it looks like the Real One may be reunited with his consensual penis… or was that referring to Roman Reigns? Also, people who wished for this Cass/Daniel Bryan feud to be over and done with should be happy, although I wasn’t aware that it was a Losers Leave Town match.

Anyway, I wish Cass all the best in his future endeavors.

Atartbox After-Action Report: Weekend Report

Remember that post I did on Ataribox this past Saturday? The one where I said this blurb;

“…it took them two weeks to come close to the three million mark… though, I’d imagine that mark will be surpassed by Monday morning if not sooner.”

Well, as of 1:00 P.M eastern standard time today, the amount sits on $2,907,984.

Clearly, my standards were way too high.

Follow-up On The Super Game System

For those who need a refresher, I did a video on a clone SNES system and offered my thoughts on the thing. To make a long story short, the system was not quite up to snuff and I mentioned that I’d give the console to a friend of mine; the same pal who had given me his Sega Genesis Flashback system.

Schlock for shclock, you see.

The live video bits were filmed a week before Friday and took a day or two to grab all the live shots. Once that was done, I went ahead and gave the system to my buddy, telling him that we were even.

Last Sunday, I got an email from my buddy. He had just seen the video that I posted and expressed his mild irritation that I never mentioned the lack of save feature on the system. I asked if he tried any of his RPGs and thankfully he said no; he just wanted the system as a gag gift for someone he knew so that it wouldn’t completely be wasted. I promptly apologized for giving him such a shoddy clone system.

His reply?

“Schlock for schlock, brother. Schlock for schlock.”

DTM Comics – Obscure Language

A potential future for the French Language as well as a meme-able image gets mashed together in this quick little TNG photo-comic thing… the first of what I’m hoping is many.

Some notes:

– Despite being a thriving country in the 24th century, French has been relegated to an obscure language spoken by very few people, much to the chagrin of Capt. Picard, who controls the skies according to Wil Wheaton. This explains why most Frenchmen have British accents.

– The Picard Double-Face-Palm Manuever first made its appearance in the TNG Season 3 episode, The Offspring.

– And yes, on a couple occasions, Picard did indeed say “merde” at least twice in the early seasons of TNG… and nobody chided him for his language because he was the Capt. Picard who controls the skies.

The complete “daily” Ataribox progress chart as depicted above, recorded up to just now, I made an effort to check the numbers at least once or twice a day. And whereas it took Ataribox an astounding single day to shatter the two million dollar mark in its crowdfunding, it took them two weeks to come close to the three million mark… though, I’d imagine that mark will be surpassed by Monday morning if not sooner.

Yes, I’m that specific.

And given that they’re limited on stock – stock for a product that doesn’t exist beyond a so-called prototype phase, don’t forget – I’d be (mildly) surprised if this hits four million by the time this whole campaign is done, let alone reach the Ouya amount of eight and a half million. The two occasions where the number has actually DROPPED also leads me to believe this isn’t going to be entirely smooth sailing.

Suddenly, I no longer have the urge to do a video on this Ataribox thing… and it’s too bad. I had a fun little idea to play around with regarding stretch goals and things of that nature, as well as toss out a couple potential ideas on how to make this thing work, but honestly, folks? I’d much rather do another E3 video.

Bleh.
