Yea, smack talking Baer like that is pretty crass. It's saying that he had good ideas, but because he didn't have them in a final, marketable state, he doesn't deserve due credit. Respect for Bushnell: -5 points

I do think he seems a bit liquored up though, so:
respect for Bushnell: +0.5 pity points

Props to the bartender for a Mojito, of any kind...assuming they actually ground the mint and didn't just use some cheapo mix.

I think Bushnell and Baer need to settle this in the ring. Bushnell could be accompanied by Chuck E. Cheese, while Baer would come out to the sounds of a game of Simon.

Nolan Bushnell is a dick...He is a microsoft ROBOT.

My Blog is even about him being a dick...http://yellinginthewoods.blogspot.com

@derrickgott007:

I think that's all in your head, saying a one positive comment about XBLA, doesn't make him a "Microsoft Robot". He is more of a Sony hater. Another thing, he doesn't fit the "dick" profile either.

(That was the first of four segments with Nolan Bushnell by the way.)

I was a huge fan of "Simon." I used it a lot.

I guess it's safe to say that Bushnell isn't a happy drunk?

..Atari is stil making games?

Bushnell says, "Baer's ideas never sold, nobody uses his stuff. So I say to him, I say, 'I've got a business decision for you: Get out of my face.' And the we had to license the rest of his work."

Bushnell is a jackass. Ralph Baer invented Pong and Bushnell stole it. Strange that I'd still be upset by this but there you have it.

I work with his son...

Nope. Nobody uses Baer's stuff. Except, well...Bushnell.

What a pillock.

Nobody uses Baer's stuff? He developed the technology for the Magnavox Odyssey. I guess no one ever used/played Simon either.

What's Simon?

Umm... even the Japanese know what Simon is. And Baer did win a technology award from Bush and won Spike TV's VGA's, and Bushnell didn't get a damn thing.

Pity.

@Kiros: Is his son a tool?

I've eaten at this place. The food is overpriced and mediocre. The menu system is pretty neat though. I give it 18 months before they shut it down and put a Islands Burger there.
