Johnny Turbo's daughter contacted me

[Otaking]

Hi

Yes I like this

Be respect of woman

Respect their nipples with a good grinding.

[Sarumaru]

I need help, my mangina is extra sandy.

[Sarumaru]

Hi

Yes I like this

Be respect of woman

Respect their nipples with a good grinding.

But not before you sniff their asses.

[esteban]

Hi

Yes I like this

Be respect of woman

Respect their nipples with a good grinding.

Watch out for the prickly forest of areola hair.

Haireolas.

[esteban]

Some people think it's funny
But it's really haireolas...

[johnnykonami]

Ask him about the comics/ads obviously.  Did he feel his likeness was captured well?  What does he think about Feka CD today?  He heralded the TurboDuo as the greatest system of all time; does he still have his and does he ever play it?  What camp is he in now: Phony or Microshaft? Is his daughter hot?

Black Licorice blows.  Red is ok, but twizzlers can be a little bland.  I love the rainbow pull and peel ones.  The best kind are the filled twizzlers with that tart cherry or orange stuff.

[esteban]

Black Licorice = Heavenly.

Fuck all you haters.

[johnnykonami]

Black Licorice = Heavenly.

Fuck all you haters.

If by that you mean eating it gains you entry to heaven from dying, I would probably agree that yes, black licorice is so bad it would probably kill you.

[Sarumaru]

interview him for what?

Also, don't be disgusting, seriously. imagine if she (or any woman for that matter) came and saw this thread, would they every want to talk to any of us?

As for the original topic...I thought he was a drawing from a fake comic book/real magazine ad. Were there TV ads or something? Either way, if he's a real dude and someone tied to that era I'd interview him that day. I don't know WTF your problem is.

[SignOfZeta]

it's only obviously a joke if people know you .....

Just in case you missed the smiley or couldn't figure out what it meant, the joke was immediately followed with "A real question....", implying that the preceding wasn't meant to be taken seriously.  In other words, learn to read for context.

Not that I really give a shit.  I have no need to become some super-PC metrosexual jackhole in hopes that a female will join, like the cut of my jib, help me move out of mommy's basement, and finally lose my virginity.

I see what you're saying but...you really should move out of your mommy's basement. If you sold your nearly complete collection of gay-ass Turbo Jap crap you could probably buy the mortgage out from under her, move upstairs, and put HER titties in the basement.

Then losing your virginity would be just around the corner, probably.

[Psycho Punch]

Hi

Is to good a make joke!!

The mother basement with loss of virgin

SignOfZeta I like!!

Nulltard's marketing for DoxPhile got really out of hand lately.

[SignOfZeta]

This is a fun place.

[LostFlunky]

What happened to the cd rom books (Thomas's Snowsuit)?  Have any of these surfaced as protos?

[NecroPhile]

Black Licorice = Heavenly.

Yeah!  Do you like ouzo too?

For red licorice, I prefer the sweeter, fruitier Red Vines.  It's a close race, though, as they're both tasty.

[Psycho Punch]

This is a fun place.

[DeshDildo]

Come on guys!  Please heed exodus' advice.  Stop chasing the women away.  It will ruin the main reason I joined here.

FYI here are the reasons I joined in order of importance:
1.) To meet girls and get laid
2.) Enter raffles
3.) Be a parasite to the community
4.) Start shit in fighting street
5.) Talk about video games

Back to Joe's original question... I'd just like to know what it was like working in NEC/TTi back in the day.  We got a bit of a look at Sega and Nintendo in the book Console Wars so it would be interesting to know what it was like at the third wheel.

[Otaking]

FYI here are the reasons I joined in order of importance:
1.) To get the sand out of my mangina
2.) To sniff butts
3.) To get my nipples grinded

[syphic]

Ask him what he thinks about the love triangle between Sparky, CrackTiger and White Supremacist DarKKKobold. And how "My Games" are tearing this love triangle apart.

Also ask him what he thinks about Bigus's "Neo Geo Freaking" of Turbo Duo game manuals with his Dot matrix printers.

Black licorice is the only licorice.  That red shit is just sugar sticks.  Actually any of that shit that comes in hollow stick-form is shit, although I bet using a black licorice stick as a straw when drinking root beer would be pretty bomb-ass. 

Esteban, you ever try salmiakki?  That shit is the shizznizzle.

[wildfruit]

I detest liquorice In all its forms

[esteban]

Esteban, you ever try salmiakki?  That shit is the shizznizzle.

I don't think so, and now I am intrigued. I am going to try to order it...any hints or suggestions would be appreciated.

Black Licorice = Heavenly.

Yeah!  Do you like ouzo too?

Yes I have tried it. It is not something that I could handle on a regular basis...but every now and then is great.

[CGQuarterly]

Esteban, you ever try salmiakki?  That shit is the shizznizzle.

I don't think so, and now I am intrigued. I am going to try to order it...any hints or suggestions would be appreciated.

Well, you have to really like black licorice if you're gonna try salmiakki.  It's definitely an acquired taste and is not for black licorice n00bs.  It has a very strong anise flavor, is very salty, and is salted with ammonium chloride rather than sodium chloride, so that has its own thing going on as well.  The first time I tried it I hated it because I didn't know what to expect.  But I was in Finland, and a guy brought me a whole bag and I didn't want to seem like I was being unappreciative so I kept messing around with it until, by the time I was ready to come home, I was stocking up on the shit at the candy store so that I'd have plenty to bring home. 

I used to hate black licorice, but it's just an acquired taste.  But I've always liked root beer and I love cooking with fennel, so it's not like I hated that flavor.  I started off with black licorice saltwater taffy, which is very mild (almost like root beer) and then just kept cranking it up a notch.

[Corredor X]

She wants me to interview her dad. I have no idea what I would ask him. Nor do I have any clue how I could incorporate it into my media offerings. So I never got back to her.

You could ask if he could elaborate on the "100.000 to 200.000" TG16 units that supposedly went to Brazil with the disabled expansion port. That was a weird fact on that old gamasutra article...

[Gentlegamer]

I like Black Jack gum.

It's sitting in my garage right now, the pack-in was "Magical Chase" and the console was renamed "Turbo Gráficos Dezesseis"
$150 CIB want one?

[seieienbu]

I'd like to know a bit more about the development of the few US only games.  Also, whose bright idea was it to make the TG16s controller port larger than the PCE's?  How much autonomy did you have and how much were you the underling of NEC Japan?

[Groover]

Yes, Do the interview.

I would also like to know more about the few US only games and the controller size differences. Also wondering what was coming from Japan about the TG16.

I never did like root beer either, but to each his own.  My friend from high school was obsessed with Super Piratos which is probably the same sort of thing you're talking about here.  I tried a piece and I think we both agreed it was probably like having a cat blast hot pee down your throat except unlike me he considered that a good candy experience.

[TheClash603]

Red Vines = only licorice that matters.

[seieienbu]

This thread full of red vine lovers angers me so much that I'm buying a huge bag of Twizzlers tomorrow. 

Please note the correct usage of lower case red vines and uppercase Twizzlers.

[ccovell]

I have to agree that red-candy-tipped liquorice pipes and cigars beat Twizzlers / RedVines any day.

[esteban]

SWITZER OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

OK, I ordered a pound of salty licorice just now. It wasn't a Finnish brand, but a Dutch one. I was fearful of the "double salt" stuff, so I started with "salt". I'll eventually try the double-salted variety if I can handle the ammonium chloride.



I think I have 1-3 local shops that have licorice candies, I'll have to see if they have any with this salmiakki poison-salt

[Gentlegamer]

Red Vines = only licorice that matters.

Fresh and moist Red Vines (the older fat ones, not the new fangled skinny ones) cannot be beat. However, fresh moist red rope licorice comes in a pretty damn close 2nd.

Who hasn't dreamed of having one of these in their car? I rest my case.

If Nulltard was an ice cream, he'd be pralines and dick.

To be honest, that might be the best way to go anyway.  Start off with some mild salty stuff and work your way up.  Salted licorice is great because sweet/salty is an awesome combo.  Anyway, let me know how you like whatever you get, because maybe I'll want to get some!

[poponon]

this sugar filled style licorice is my jam.

I dig black lic too

[johnnykonami]

These are what I was talking about:


I don't like them but Haribo is a great brand, I believe it's the salted licorice you guys are talking about, but who knows, maybe it's different.

I haven't had Red Vines but now I'm going to try a bag just to see how they compare.  I think regular twizzlers are kinda waxy and hard, I really only like the pull n' peel ones.

[GaijinD]

I'm not the sort that usually overdoes it on junk food, but I have a weakness for Twizzlers. I will eat an entire bag in one sitting. I actually don't usually buy them for myself because of this.

Anyhow, regarding the interview, what sort of interview are we talking, anyhow? Email? Skype? Face-to-face? It may not be the sort of content you usually produce, but it does seem like something that would be of interest to your audience. Let me try and remember some of the advice I've been given regarding conducting interviews.

First off, research. You should know as much as possible about your subject before talking to him. You don't want to ask the same questions he's heard hundreds of times already, or blunder into a sensitive subject right at the start.

Second, try to ask open-ended questions. Don't phrase them in a way that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no", because that's likely to be what you get. Less, "do you like TurboGrafx-16?" More, "what drew you to the TurboGrafx-16?"

A corollary to that is, assuming this is a live interaction of some sort, don't rigidly read down the line of your prepared questions. Listen carefully to your subject's answers; they very well may say something that leads to an interesting follow-up question that you didn't anticipate. Further, by showing that you're paying attention and are interested in what he has to say, you're building rapport with your subject which may allow you to touch on more sensitive topics that he wouldn't be willing to discuss otherwise.

I feel like there's something else, but it's not coming to me. This may be reiterating an earlier point, but the phrasing of your questions is important. The more thoughtfully you ask a question, the more thoughtful a response you're likely to get. It's likely to make a difference in the quality of answer you get if your subject can tell you're serious and are treating him with respect.

That's about all I can think of. Good luck if you move forward with this.

[esteban]

Yes, I saw these when I was searching this morning.

I was like, "Piratos! How was I to know it was *literally* referring to the shape of the damn licorice!?"

To be honest, I was tempted to buy a bunch of different brands, to test them out.

I actually prefer licorice that is *not* too sweet and I was reading a bunch of reviews that started making my mouth drool...

[Corredor X]

It's sitting in my garage right now, the pack-in was "Magical Chase" and the console was renamed "Turbo Gráficos Dezesseis"
$150 CIB want one?

No, the "Turbo Gráficos 16 III" would come with built-in Magical Chase but without CD compatibilty and a redesigned shell, the first version would come with Moto Roader/Ballistix and the second version with Bonk's Adventure, Tec Toy-style 

[TurboXray]

I'd like to know a bit more about the development of the few US only games.  Also, whose bright idea was it to make the TG16s controller port larger than the PCE's?  How much autonomy did you have and how much were you the underling of NEC Japan?

Heh, I can answer that for you; the ex-Atari employees NEC highered to handle the localization and initial launch of the system. The jerks actually delayed the release of the TG16 by almost a year because of the case redesign.

Not sure if we are still in licorice territory here, but if it is, Sweet Tarts Ropes are phenomenal.

There is only one flavor of licorice. Licorice flavor. The anus flavored "candy" enjoyed exclusively by old people, some Europeans, and weirdoes. All this Willy Wonka bullshit you guys keep bringing up is just...candy. Unlike licorice it actually tastes *better* than Brussels sprouts with bouillon cubes hiden inside.

Licorice is so gross. It's like the haggis of candy. Really, it's only technically candy by virtue of all the perfectly good sugar it wastes. Nothing else 1/10 as disgusting would ever claim to be a treat. When people pretend to like it just to seem tough it offends me, and I pretend a lot of things myself...but come on. That shit doesn't even resemble a good taste. It doesn't even resemble a bad taste. It doesn't resemble food. It's like some one just handed you a little compressed hunk of that black bioslime that drain flies live in, or the greese you see dripping from fairground rides. One of the worst flavors I've ever experienced and I don't see why it continues to be manufactured.

I mean, I hate spiced jelly beans, anything with cocoanut filings in it, and fake peach flavoring quite a bit, but I'd strap a feed bag filled with cocoanut caked spicy peach jelly beans to my head before I ate a single piece of licorice. I'd rather share treats with my dogs, no, my CATS. That's how gross licorice is. Worse than a cat treat.

I wish I could say more but that's probably enough to permanently derail this thread.

You are missing out, comrade.

I mean, I cannot imagine a world without, say, cumin.

I also LOVE burnt toast.

Anise = amazing, especially if it is not overloaded with too much sugar.

I drink my coffee black.

I like espresso.

I like tea, without anything added.

I love lemongrass.

The bitterest beers are the best beers.

THE BITTEREST BEERS ARE THE BEST BEERS.

I love cumin. I put it on my salad. Everything. Popcorn. I love cumin.

I love very hot (spicy) foods from all cuisines Indian, Thai, Chinese, Persian, Italian, etc. (not so hot that I develop a fever, though).

I love nori/seaweed

Horseradish/wasabi

Tabasco.

Black pepper.

I have to stop, but I could go on and on.




Oh, and I love licorice! Black, delightful, heavenly licorice.

Onions!!! Leeks!!! Chives!!!!

Licorice, too.
