  • this whole video game discussion reminds me of something that happened near the beginning of the school year:

    my Computer Applications teacher was a complete control freak bitch who insisted on making us do what she wanted. (Despite this, I still found the time to create a trumpet and later a sprite of two marching band cats on Paint. x3) This included making a spreadsheet and putting in several different companies and their stocks and updating said stocks every day. Then at one point she made us make another spreadsheet with a batch of different companies.

    She was at a loss for available companies, so I suggested one.

    She responded with a question about my choice.

    Some kid replied with "Sony", and she basically said "Yeah, that's right, it was Sony."

    The question "Sony" was a response to was "Didn't they get bought out by someone?"

    My company suggestion that made her ask the question was Nintendo.
    It's actually a hilarious conversation to read if you know what happened to the Jaguar and Atari not very long afterward (which, of course, you do, so go read it x3)
    basically the interview was about the future of the (already struggling) Jaguar and the guy being interviewed (high-up in Atari I guess) was convinced that the games were as good as any other system, protested that the Jaguar was "absolutely, uncategorically" 64-bit, said that in the future he could see the big world players being Nintendo, Sega, Sony and Atari (this being 1995; never mind that Atari had been dead since the Great Video Game Crash of 1983, Sega crumbled around the turn of the century and Microsoft rose around that point), said that he didn't think any other company was any sort of threat to Atari (even though he did agree that Atari was the underdog), pointed out that he thought Sony would eventually crumble because they didn't have the same passion for gaming that his company did, and went so far as to compare the Jaguar to the Playstation (saying that the Playstation was only a teensy bit better) and the Sega Saturn (which he said the Jaguar rivaled or even surpassed in power), discussed how he felt that the Jaguar would be around far longer than anyone expected, and talked about their plans for the Jaguar 2.

    He was overconfident.
    MIKE MIKE MIKE I just had the best idea.

    In the future we should meet up and start our own video game company and release consoles. The consoles will be named after ones AVGN has reviewed and the games will all be remakes of ones AVGN has reviewed.

    y/y?
