Console does not boot properly - ID: 23
Details: During my initial setup it absorbed my housecat and spun its flesh into an abject horror of ambulation. It is currently at-large in the neighbourhood, having consumed the prize flowerbed of my next-door neighbour, the husband of the same, three dogs, two cats, and the local mailman. Requesting replacement unit if possible, as the firmware seems to be corrupted by something from outside the sphere of mortal knowledge. If return of the defective unit is required for replacement, it answers to "Mr. Tiddles" and you are welcome to come claim it yourselves.

I was going to make a joke about Jeff Minter/Yak making an OUYA game and it would be the only worthwhile game on there, but I think after 3 incidents of that (Jaguar, Nuon and the canceled Konix Multisystem) he's probably learned his lesson.

I'm pretty sure this is going to be a huge disaster, but I don't get how they've managed to wrangle selling this heap of poo poo in actual stores. Critical Thinking must be really rare these days because the only way I can imagine this happened is they just gobbled up every piece of bullshit that spouted out of Julie Uhrman's smug liar mouth.

Dragon's Den would have ripped her pitch to pieces if she had answered questions like "How many have you sold?" with "Lots..." and "Who are you talking to?" with "Everyone" :v:

Oh god, I knew it was bad but I never realised how bad it was.

I wonder if there will be a trend to putting the SHEBOYGAN on its side or would that mimic the unholy blasphemy of the big three?

In other news, the Visorman kickstarter just got another backer and now has a total amount of £25.00 pledged. At that pace it should be really easy to reach the £7,400 goal in the remaining 29 days years....

I really want to just donate £1.00 to the guy's Kickstarter, just so I can comment on it saying his game looks terrible great!

It wouldn't be the Ouya thread without misunderstanding.

The tagline for the thing should probably have something to do with that.

I think they've made a critical mistake - they aren't treating kickstarter backers as if it is the official product launch. These are the people who gave them their money, and honestly? They're taking advantage of them by releasing what they're going to release today.

It actually shouldn't be an issue regardless of what you play on it, which is going to be nothing at all anyways.

I would be very, very careful about giving my credit card info to the OUYA store. Maybe grab a $25 prepaid card to use instead.
