Pretty amazing how far down the rabbit hole this all goes.
*****
+WrecklessEating I unsubbed to you matt, youre the one that got away.
+Jyuim Suien No, using an obscure acronym and a stereotypical hebrew name in a comment that makes little if any sense is what a basement dweller does.
So JIDF sounds great by the way, never heard of it but I support it. Fuck Islamic terrorism. SO thanks for making me aware of the great society. The opposite happened with your comment, it promoted a new supporter.
Vanz Pictures I'll find a way to get through my day lol
WrecklessEating one day our souls will reunite once again, papa bless.
The Mysterious Mr Lee sounds like a wrestling manager from the 1980's xD
+A Lemming Agreed.
Yeah... I kind of picture Mr Fuji every time they mention him lol
+Jonathan Oosthuis XD
Just when you think its over... He's back! Thanks for the Jag Bar shout out guys, keep up the good work. BTW Sean Robinson AKA Mr. Lee was the guy that introduced me to Mike at SC3. They we're buddy buddy that night, I don't think this story is over. Mike wanted a name in the retro gaming industry - well, achievement unlocked.
+Brian Thomas Barnhart Sean Robinson and I actually had a little contact a few years back, now that I've seen what he looks like. I may explain on the next podcast...
The Mysterious "Mr. Lee" it just keeps getting better and better.
ha! ohh but he's back! Alice cooper song bout Jayson!
+python45acp He's back (the man behind the mask)
Yeah he seamed like a nice guy at the event, talked about computers and them introduced me to Mike. I didn't buy anything from him or trade anything... It truly will be the things of legends.
I'm sure you're sick of talking about it, but it is helpful keeping people updated on it. What a bizarre whole thing this is.
Wasn't Mr. Lee one of the bosses in that TurboGrafx-16 CD game Last Alert?
Legendary for its voice acting.
Best comment from the AtareAge thread: "Fool me three times, shame on Lee?"
That was a fantastic post. The whole thread is a gold mine!
Best PodCast So Far...Because Ya'll Owned this Whole Conversation .... Months Ago!!!!
My ipod does not have this recent upload. Love you guys long time.
Did anyone else see the video name and go "oh fuck, what now?"
I only just heard about this “system” and boy was this a wild ride. I would 100% watch a documentary about the whole thing
/start of video, after seeing the title.
"Oh, this should be interesting"
/gets popcorn.
We can't stop here, this is Pat Contri
Ians Rocking the Dutch KNVB shirt!
To add benefit of doubt, the Beatles famously befriended a man they dubbed "magic" Alex Mardas who after showing John and Paul little electronic trinkets got asked to build them a fantastic future studio in the basement of Apple record headquarters. They showed up ready to record what became "Let it Be" and realized the guy had done NOTHING to LITTLE and knew practically NOTHING about electronics. Goes to show even some of the brightest artist minds can be swayed into false trust. Though this particular mess I think he should've been more diligent looking into what he was contracting someone to make for him to present to the public. Because ultimately it's Mike Kennedy's reputation on the line
My favorite part was when he posted images of the checks he wrote to Sean Robinson, was immediately called out because the check was dated AFTER the capture card prototype was discovered to be fake, and then just as quickly deleted the images. After somebody posted the screen capped image, Mike reposted the images and claimed that--in that hour--he was hacked by Sean who had deleted them... Unbelievable. Never mind all the other holes in his story. Not only is he a horrible businessman, he's a horrible con-man.
Ian's cameras drunk, get a new one.
Imagine owning a Coleco Chameleon signed by Mr Lee.
+Trader Pat I tried to imagine it, but my mind was blown out the side of my skull.
This guy just won't go away
What a coincidence. I just saw the Coleco Chameleon at the Midwest Gaming Classic.
Same here! I have no idea what these guys are talking about, but I'm getting a kick out of them getting worked up over this.
It wasn't me, it was Mr. Lee
Ian's a football fan? Who knew! Netherlands have always had great kits
That sneaky voice over scared the crap out of me!
At this point, you are more likely to discover the Loch Ness Monster than the mysterious Mr. Lee.
I like Ian's Dutch football shirt.
The one thing we learned is the Jaguar looks rather good in different colours :-D
3:38 that voice edit @patnespunk
haha nice catch
And at 4:18
+dpersonalizedALT lol totally
And also 7:15 "My ahmi"
+Robert Hadchiti i noticed it also awesome!
I do want the see through case from that thing though, its sweet...
THE RIDE NEVER ENDS
Sounds like he just wants a pity party thrown for him.
He must not have been loved as a child.
+MightySquirrel
No, his parents bought him a fair amount of awesome atari stuff when he was a kid. I'm a big RGR fan, and it's so disappointing to find out this once great personality has let bad decisions, high ambitions, and greed get the better of him sending him in a downward spiral. It's hard not to be mad or felt led on by this though.
I totally agree with your last statement Pat.
"it's not my fault, it's this guy....he did it, not me"
Shit never ends
+Drink a Beer and Play a Game "Shit never ends" if I had to use a analogy the Retro-VGS is like Thai food.
***** LOL true
Love the Netherlands jersey Ian
That awesome Dutch shirt!
It's been like standing on the side of the street and watching the longest car wreck ever, this whole Retro VGS/Coleco kerfuffle. It turns your stomach but it's so morbidly intriguing that you can't look away. Except Ian. He got bored and walked four blocks over to the Cinnabon.
Great,
ian in an holland football shirt👍😂😬...love you guy's
Ian is a Dutch football fan? Sweet
I wonder if Pat is ever going to put that left hand side camera into focus
Is Ian wearing a Dutch soccer shirt? nice :)
Mike Kennedy should team up with Erick Hansen of BlueStar Technologies, to get the retro VGS to play Bluray Discs.
The circuit bored looks like 90s PC Pinball
I actually wanted to see the Retro VGS happen.
Like your Dutch national Soccer team jersey Ian. Hup Holland!!
Mysterious lee
Yeah...
This is a classic case of "back-pedaling".
This is a classic case of "trying to cover one's ass after firing a competent hardware team and replacing them with Homer Simpson backfires spectacularly".
Ian's camera is Xbone and Pat's is PC.
This PodCast Gives Me Hope For Humanity and the Fact that We Might Not Be Alone In This World
Ian's impression at 0:23 is quality XD
Nice Netherlands jersey, Ian!
"The scene"- Ian
Retro VCS should have jus been a case for raspberry pi
Im still on the edge of my seat waiting for the real issues and hardcore topics that we all wanna hear to be discussed. Like tacos:
Chicken, steak, or ground beef?
Hot, medium, or mild?
sour cream or guac?
we NEEED to knowwww...
Hey guys thank you for making such a great podcast for me to listen to daily. You guys are funny as hell sometimes and as an employee at GS i always agree with most of the stuff Ian has said. I got half my store listening to you guys and we all get a kick when Ian always sees thru most of the stuff that goes on. Thanks to you guys I have gotten most of my coworkers to do their jobs to ians standards lol. Have a nice day guys.
What's their asses smell like brown noser?
Glad you like it!
I love this podcast too.
+Ryan Amberger your ugly as fuuuuuq!!! Go play Minecraft kiddy!
I've personally been ripped off by Sean Robinson, and I know more than 10 guys in the Portland area that have been as well. We are talking about a very convincing con-man that always knows the right thing to say. Mike may have been deceived, but so was I and so were a bunch of my friends - Good, caring, SMART people. Mike may be overly trusting, but he cares about the retro community. That doesn't make him a bad person. Blaming him for being conned is like blaming a bank for being robbed.
Mike is a legend of tales.
Hey Pat, will you upload this one to iTunes?
Ian you need to get a better quality camera. This podcast has been running for a long time and Pat's picture has always been sharper with better lightning.
+Yazen Alzaghameem Pat's side has a $1000 camera. Ian's has a $100 camera.
almightycinder Let Pat get a $100 then! Is it just me who finds the disparity jarring? Lol
This Mr Lee sounds like a guy who tops Drakon in level of shadiness.
KNVB shirt 🙏
The story continues...
Hemm, Mr Lee...
Same name as the vampire from Final Fantasy Adventure!
BAHAHAHAHA Pat You Said "Gettin'Pulled Back In Like GodFather" ....thats Good Stuff
The hell...why is Ian wearing a dutch football (soccer) shirt?
Bunch of divers
+garktnieus Because he can.
+garktnieus Why the hell not?
+garktnieus I assume he likes soccer
nice dub over Pat
alrighty then
Two million dollars... of money?!
I would love to say this will be the last we'll hear of it, but...
Pat, what's with the redub of the audio in a few spots, eh?
You should point out how Gamester81 posted on his Tumblr page that his game Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death is "running on the new upcoming Coleco Chameleon prototype system. It plays great on it! " and includes a picture of a supposed Coleco Chameleon with the game supposedly running on it. gamester81.tumblr.com/post/139179575782/one-of-the-games-were-working-on-sydney-hunter
What. The. Fuck.
Hasn't Gamester81 claimed he was duped too? For this to exist he'd have to be in on it.
+ColonelNegative Yeah. He said that all he did was agree to have his company make a pack-in game for the system and had no idea it was a hoax until everyone else figured it out. Seems like he's deserving of all the shit he got over it despite the fact that other RUclipsrs came out to defend him like AlphaOmegaSin. I'm guessing he wasn't aware of that Tumblr post of Gamerster's. Now Gamerster has made another video the other day for some kind of upcoming 16 bit Coleco console. I wonder if this one will be as BS as the last...
If he (Mike) wants to come out of this with his reputation somewhat intact, he ought to just start some kind of retro-style game studio and release stuff on Steam. Cartridge gaming has been gone for a long time, and what remains is the niche homebrew market. That saves him from these embarrassing missteps, and still keeps his dream of retro games going.
what you guys said I think it's 60% believable
I am soooo glad I did not sink my money into this. I love your podcast guys :) I listen every week at work :D
god fucking damm, all you need is some FPGA or a microcontroller to build something like this
Scamster81 still loves it
You liked... You Know...
One good thing came out of this, Albert from Atari Age now owns the Jaguar tooling, so hopefully there will be some cool console and cartridge shells in the future.
But aslo good for homebrew games
+KGRAMR
Oh please! Homebrew games are fuckin' GARBAGE! Haven't you seen all the shitty NES homebrews over the years?
+Devious Pranks. Why you obviously have got no clue
Devious Pranks have you seen Blade Buster my friend?
is it just me that sound is blocking on few words?
Wow bad dub-in of "AtariAge forum" @ 3:38
As an avid crowdfunder it blows my mind how video game based projects keep going to hell. I usually fund tabletop gaming projects and those are rock solid in confidence compared to this kind of thing. It's not just a difficulty of hardware either as many successful technology projects have flourished and delivered. It certainly makes me scrutinize a project much deeper when its of this genre.
Where did he find this guy, in a back alley somewhere? Did their conversation go something like "Hey wanna make a game console? Float me the cash, and I'll deliver."Kennedy is like the creepy guy in the back room of a bar, he's screwing around, and screwing others. This guy nailed his own coffin shut day one.
Ian going gangbusters! ::Ric Flair WOOOOOOO::
Mike spent the month after the capture card bullshit to think of a way he can save face and make it seem like he is a victim. Which he isn't.
It's ridiculous, I work in this industry too, there is no way you would get to a fully laid out PCB prototype without a single test been done before. They knew what they were doing.
Mike could not Kick start a moped now or crowd source change for the bus home.
Hey.I like these videos,but what's up with the strange audio cuts and dubs?Like when saying "Kennedy" it cuts,and when you say NintendoAge it seems off.I know it may be nothing but i like solving mysteries.
I LOVE when they talk about Mike Kennedy, it's so funny it's unreal
So I honestly completely forgot I did this, but when gamester81 uploaded his nearly 1 hour interview, I downloaded it because I figured it was going to get removed. It is no longer on youtube and I decided to rewatch it. It's honestly really easy to see that Mike was clueless and just had a dream that never happened.
Can you send it to me to watch?
@@derkwest Wow, I commented this 6 years ago. I think I still have the video file in the downloads folder of an old PC. Can you remind me on Saturday. I am busy with work this week.
@@fisherthomas3815 that sounds great man thank you lol Idk but I like going back to this and listening to him bs everyone. It's so obvious he was now but none seemed to catch it at the time until later.
ATH-M50x club represent
chips and stuff
why can't i download your damn podcasts on itunes! I used to be able to... what's the deal?
+Dancing with Ghosts You can currently get them still directly from thepunkeffect.com.
+Pat the NES Punk Ok, is there a problem with the iTunes server right now or is it just happening to me?? It's convenient on iTunes because I can play it directly from my phone.
+Pat the NES Punk Pat, PLEASE be so kind to ask Ian about the Dutch National Football team Jersey he is sporting.... I am DYING to find out the reasoning behind wearing this specific clothing item (as a Dutch guy myself) :) Response would be VERY appreciated! Thanks for all the great content Pat!
+Dancing with Ghosts Use Pocket Casts
+FurryFerris rockin the orange
What I would like to point out is if he didn't know it was a capture card then how did he put in that game card? You can clearly see that game cart was put in there. Did *cough* "Mr. Lee" install a pin connector on the video capture card? Even if he did that means that Mike got the "Prototype"and didn't even power it on to see if worked because I'm sure the magical "Mr. Lee" did mod a video capture card to play SNES games. Am I to believe that Mike didn't test his "Prototype" before showing it off to the public? My BS alarm is going off. All I'm saying is in the picture they have a game cart in there and I can guarantee that game wouldn't have run if Mike ever checked it.
+Nagano3193
Their are two prototypes.
The one at the toy fair was likely a SNES Mini in a Jag shell.
The second one which they were trying to kick start with, was the capture card.
Mike is claiming he was given the pictures of the capture card one from Lee. I don't believe he claimed to have gotten that prototype.
+JayXdbX sorry I was misinformed if that was the case. That's still bad though
Ian wearing the Dutch National Soccer team shirt! How'd you get it Ian? Greetings from the Netherlands!
Coleco Chameleon: The Post-Sequel
Nice Dutch tshirt Lan ;)
nice shirt! Holland!
is he wearing a orange knvb dutch national soccor team tshirt?, it sure looks like it!
no it just looks like it. it's actualy a green shirt
Here's question for you how much of role did Michael Thomason play in a role in this to considering he was spouse producing games threw his good deals game site..
What with the weird "on the Atari age forum" voice over at 03:38 ?
Audio was cutting out for me
+timjamie pender same at places...
is anyone notice tharàt it is a clear color Jaguar on the picture
Lee: There are more chips and stuff in there!
Mike: Oh cool, So you put more tech in it?
Lee:......No....I spilled my lays in it....
Mike: Ok that works, Thanks!
What a clustermess...
