After a short delay, it looks like its okay for me to post the transcripts of Wednesday's chat. As usual, there is a short commentary listed afterwards. >> Tiger has joined channel #COMmunications [gamecomfreak] I suspect you are GCom? [Tiger] Sorry about being late [Brad] Hey! [slight] Salutations! [gamecomfreak] Welcome.. [Brad] BRB [gamecomfreak] ok brad [miice] hi there! [Tiger] Ok.... sorry had to move my machine.... [Tiger] Anyone here?? [gamecomfreak] Yeah.. [Tiger] Ok.. kinda quiet [gamecomfreak] Yeah it is. [Tiger] Well I am all yours.... [Brad] cOOL [slight] Oh heck.... cant copy and paste the chat. [gamecomfreak] Do you know if any new game coming out will be rated over T? [Tiger] Hmmm RE2, may be [gamecomfreak] Oh, yeah. [slight] What would you guyz think about my firing up a dedicated IRC channel for future chats? [Brad] Hey all [Tiger] Whatever is best for everyone.. [Brad] Tiger> What will be done about the Jeopardy cart? [Brad] Since it has some many bugs and people say you can barley get through a game? [Tiger] Its being looked at now.. but so far we have only had 2 complaints... [Brad] And its false advertising about the 3 player hook-up [Brad] From who? [Brad] I know Johnny and Chris both have complaints [Tiger] Whoever it was on the newsgroup that reported it.. [Tiger] Right.. those are the only 2 [Brad] Ahh... [gamecomfreak] Heh...i never liked Jeopardy anyway... [Brad] When will Resident Evil 2 be releases? [Brad] released [Tiger] Actually its a pretty good game, especially if you like Wheel of Fortune [Tiger] or those sorts of games [gamecomfreak] Sep. [Brad] When will Resident Evil 2 be released? [Tiger] Middle of September hopefully [gamecomfreak] I just...ah well. [Brad] Cool...When the pocket pro is released? [Brad] Do you have a date on the Pocket Pro? [Tiger] That should be end of August or Sept. [Brad] What about Tiger Casino and Name that Tune? [Tiger] Later, not sure if September or not.. Tiger Casino should be around Gigapets Deluxe [Tiger] Which may actually be September [gamecomfreak] T.C. should be great. [Brad] So there is said to be a couple of game.com games to be released with the Rumble pack, right? [Tiger] Its good if you like Casino games [Tiger] That is correct. [Brad] Any new news on the chick wyvern? [gamecomfreak] Other than Holyfield Boxing? [Brad] Yay [Tiger] Holyfield boxing will be the first... [Brad] Cool [gamecomfreak] Oh, anyword on the other ones? [Tiger] None that I can reveal at this time [gamecomfreak] Oh, i understand. [gamecomfreak] You could...but then you'd have to kill us, right [Brad] Has TIGER heard that Target is selling games for less than $5? [Tiger] Someone has commented on the $5 Target price.... [Brad] I bought Henry and JP2 there? [Brad] I mean I bought it there for $5 [Brad] I asked someone else to buy Batman and Whell for me. [Tiger] Thats a good price... [Brad] Does anyone have Wheel of fortune [Brad] ? [slight] I wish there were a Target within 200 square miles of my locale :) [Tiger] I am not sure what Target's deal is... [gamecomfreak] I have Wheel of Fortune. [slight] WoF is pretty good. [gamecomfreak] Yeah it is. [Brad] They must think that you don't support the game.com anuymore [Brad] If Tiger would MAKE retail stores put the game.com in the videogame section instead of the toys section it would sell better [Tiger] No,, they are one of our major venders.. They are well aware of our support of game.com [gamecomfreak] Sometime my WoF cart skips the opening animation though..no biggy. [Brad] Gamecomfreak..will you trade or sell Wheel? [Tiger] I actually only know how Toys R Us stocks game.com.. [Tiger] I have never seen it in other stores [gamecomfreak] Like through mail? [Brad] Yay [gamecomfreak] I guess [Tiger] OH. and BEST BUY [Brad] Toys has all the new games and old ones. [Brad] But mosr are $29.99 so I go to Best Buy [Brad] gamecomfreak e-mail me [Brad] Brad123@pacbell.net [Tiger] Best Buy usually has all the new games.. [gamecomfreak] I bought my game.com at TrU around July of last year. [slight] Tiger: any word on if the gcpp has any software redesigns? Maybe a extended-feature calendar, or more simultaneous voices to make the audio better? [Brad] bought mine around April I think [Tiger] Not that I know of.. I know there are some thoughts of a PDA cart with battery back up [slight] I didn't think the Com was released until July or later :) [Brad] I wish the calender was accually useful [slight] Hmm... a PDA. I'd love to see it ! [Brad] I never use the calender. I very rarlet use the calculator too. [Tiger] So do I.. thats why we are thinking about a PDA cart.. [Tiger] Possible external keyboard or printer as well [Brad] The phone book is very helpfull though [Brad] PDA? [gamecomfreak] Dont make a sucky printer like gameboy's [gamecomfreak] personal digital assistant [Brad] Maybe like the Game Gear? A TV tuner type thing [Brad] Maybe a camera type thing [Tiger] It may just be an adapter to plug into regular printers. [gamecomfreak] Oh, that's be cool! [Brad] I have a Game boy and there Camera. The camera is COOL but the printer sucks! More for the printer and all it does is print [Brad] Cool! Why add a whole new thing? [Brad] Where the external modem is make a adapter so it can fit into that to the printer [slight] Gotta be careful with hardware add-ons for consoles and their kin - they tend to sell poorly or outright fail. Not trying to be a pessimist, tho :) [Tiger] There is also something new coming up.. A new WebLink promotion >> miice has left channel #COMmunications [gamecomfreak] Does anyone have Sonic Jam? [Tiger] Anybody currently using or have used WEBLINK? [slight] Wow - this is good info to work with. A possible PDA, keyboard, printer, and a resurrection of WebLink. Sounding cool.... [gamecomfreak] Not me. [slight] I've got WebLink. With the rather short cable that runs to the PC that forces me to sit in the floor to use it, I rarely do :) [gamecomfreak] I think slight has it.. >> Brad has left channel #COMmunications [gamecomfreak] Hmm...quiet...TOO wuiet.. [gamecomfreak] quiet [Tiger] Well there will be a major weblink promotion including TV / Search Engines / other online stuf [Tiger] Including a contest to win great stuff [gamecomfreak] That sounds great! TV? [slight] Will the utility of the WebLink be expanded? Like downloading images and sounds, perhaps? It seems like the cart has quite a bit of potential. [Tiger] Yes, and a cross promotion with a few big Internet sites [Tiger] We are thinking about direct cable play, through weblink [slight] Maybe come out with a simple art cart for the Com, and we could upload drawings? [Tiger] If we can increase transfer rates of the cart [slight] Sounds good~ [slight] ! [gamecomfreak] That's what ive been saying forever!!! [Tiger] It will probably be part of a RPG game that does not require too much high speed transfer [gamecomfreak] The Art Cart..heh. [slight] Very sweet. An RPG.... ah..... [Tiger] yea. it seems it would work good >> BradL has joined channel #COMmunications [BradL] Im back! [gamecomfreak] I think Tiger needs a mascot..a la Mario, Sonic..etc [slight] So, it would be a multiplayer RPG then? Ultima Online for the Com, in a sense? [BradL] Comp Froze [BradL] What I miss? [gamecomfreak] Secret information that cannot be repeated. [slight] If someone will tell me why I cant copy and paste, I might be able to save the transcript of this chat. [slight] Can anyone else Copy? [BradL] Im not sure [gamecomfreak] Use Ctrl C [gamecomfreak] ? [gamecomfreak] Works for me. [slight] Thanks! [Tiger] hold for a sec [gamecomfreak] No problem! [BradL] Slight..Didnt you know how to do that? [gamecomfreak] I think a Tiger Console Unit sounds good.. [gamecomfreak] Especially with all the cool games... [slight] I used to be able to right click in ParaChat and choose Copy. I wasn't thinking of using the Windows shortcut. [BradL] Like the N64/ [BradL] ? [gamecomfreak] Better. [gamecomfreak] Ultra.Com [gamecomfreak] heh [BradL] It would not sell. Tiger needs to first make the game.com a sucsess [gamecomfreak] I know...I was just sayin.. [slight] I wouldn't be too suprised to see a Hasbro console, using the Atari purchase as a base. [gamecomfreak] The Sega Dreamscape will be 128 bit.. [BradL] Sega sucks! [slight] I am ALL OVER Dreamcast. Gotta have it. [gamecomfreak] Yeah...it does/ [slight] With it supporting WinCE (and directX), PC ports to the system will be dirt-easy. [gamecomfreak] Now, the next upgrade will be to 256 bit [slight] Anyway..... [gamecomfreak] Slights getting excited [slight] [gamecomfreak] Heh [BradL] Im am prob. going to be leaving soon. [BradL] How long will this chat session be? [BradL] Another hour? [slight] I think we've already learned more new info tonite within 30 minutes than the last chat in two hours. This is some good stuff! [gamecomfreak] right, right [BradL] Well its been a month. New news is happening! [Tiger] ok sorry back [slight] :) [gamecomfreak] Welcome back. [BradL] I just hope that RE2 will be released soon. I wish RE2 had the rumble pack built-in [gamecomfreak] Nah [Tiger] I played it today without the sound. [slight] I'm missing the notion of Godzilla for the Com. Nothing changed about its status, did it? [gamecomfreak] Did ya like it??? [Tiger] Nope.. No Godzilla. Yea I liked it.. Never played RE2 or RE on the playstation [BradL] II hope it will be included with the new game.com [Tiger] Dont bet on it.. >> darkband has joined channel #COMmunications [gamecomfreak] I doubt that.. [BradL] Will Gcommers be able to trade in there old coms for new ones? AI the pocketpro? [darkband] HEy i thought I mssed t [gamecomfreak] Will there be a 'bonus' cart? [slight] That brings up a good question - will the gcpp have a pack-in cart, and if so, what will it be? [BradL] Or will it be lights out again? [Tiger] I am not sure.. I have not heard about a cart... [gamecomfreak] it should [Tiger] If there is a cart, I dont think it wil be LO [BradL] I hope it is like Name that Tune [BradL] Or a differnet game [darkband] slight I haven't seen your page lately looking good [slight] thank you. Like I can turn away praise :) [BradL] Tiger> How did Sega give you the license for Sonic JAM? Was it alot of $$$$? [Tiger] Dont know the terms of the license.. We have actually had the license a long time. We have done a Sonic R LCD game awhile ago [darkband] After the Re2 Video, I couldn't help noticing that the sound was so great, the music never jumped when go though the menu [BradL] Oh... [BradL] Gotta go..I will be back later or will read the session later! Bye all...Thanks Tiger for all the answers and stuff [BradL] Bye all! [Tiger] I think there is a RE movie coming out [BradL] tHERE IS [gamecomfreak] Yeah there will be one >> BradL has left channel #COMmunications [darkband] Has anyone at Tiger duplcated the problems people are gettng n Jeporady? [Tiger] Nope and we have had no consumer complaints except for the 2 from the newsgroup [Tiger] Of course we are testing it [slight] I wish I had Jep handy to verify these claims - I'm suspecting the problems aren't quite as bad as we've been told. [Tiger] I dont think so either. There MAY have been a small bad batch that went bad during copying.. [Tiger] but its not EVERY cart by any means.. [darkband] Also, My Best Buy dumped all game.com stuff in trash, and they aren't going to carry those products my manager sad :( [gamecomfreak] my best buy only has sucky games [darkband] I am going to have hard time finding any PRO stuff :( there is so much lack of support at stores [slight] I dont think local store managers have much say in what is and isn't being carried by their chain :) [Tiger] They dont... I am under the impression we have a pretty good deal with BEST BUY. So I dont think they will stop selling it [gamecomfreak] Walmart use to carry it.. [gamecomfreak] but stopped [darkband] We'll My manager made me crush it all n the dumbster, I was beggng him to gve it too me [Tiger] Well I hate to cut this short, but I have to go.. Any more quick questions before I go?? [gamecomfreak] i wouldve slipped a few in my pocket [Tiger] We can reschedule something longer next week if you want [slight] I think we got our money's worth tonite! Good job, Tiger! [darkband] When is Tiger casino going come out, also will there be a better advertsng campaign for the PRO? [Tiger] Thanks.. Yes a better advertising Campaign and Tiger Casino.. Sept?? maybe [slight] BRB, guyz [darkband] k [Tiger] See ya all..
