Mike Williams seems like a shady dude after all of this, but damn the CU podcast is such a black or white podcast. There is no subtlety with Ian and Pat, it's almost hard to listen to. So much name calling, yikes.

Typo for Mike Kennedy, because Kennedy and Williams are both common names, I guess?Who's Mike Williams?
Yeah, a lot of vitriol for something, that yeah is shitty, but it's not like he molested someone. I'd imagine Mike is pretty hard up for cash after everything, so I wouldn't blame him for doing it, even if it was a shitty thing to do to a friend.

You wouldn't blame him for selling stuff that wasn't his? Why wouldn't you?

EDIT: Mike Kennedy, I mean.

summary: Someone called Willie loaned him three Coleco tabletop games and expressely told him to not sell them.
Mike Kennedy sold them
Finally got my pre-order console. It plays all of my SNES games!

(That's me with the Toyfare / totally not an SNES CC prototype. It was on display at the Southern Fried Gaming Expo last weekend by a burned parter of the project.)
What is going on in this thread
I work in a repurposed Coleco factory and every time news about Mike hits the little historical shrine they have downstairs bleeds.
Wait really? Can we see a pic or two of the shrine??? That kind of stuff fascinates me
EDIT - I understand the bleeding part was a joke i just want to see the shrine.
From 1967 to 1988, the COLECO Toy Factory was located in this building.
Here, of note were built Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, video games like PONG, PacMan and Donkey Kong consoles, the ADAM computer, and many other toys of which a few samples are on display behind this glass.
Hey, something else interesting from this thread.Quality isn't stellar but here.
Translation of the little sign next to it:
I have now done more for Coleco than Mike.

The people who do this stuff tend to have psychological issues. I think a medical professional would find he is a narcissistic, pathological liar whose lying and stealing are impulse driven and out of control.
I don't know what else can explain someone who continues to behave this way after getting exposed so frequently and so thoroughly, after everything that has happened. He gets caught with chocolate on his face and both hands in the cookie jar and, knowing that no one believes him for a second, he still tries to weasel his way out of these ridiculous situations he created with even worse lies. A normal, sane person would have stopped after getting caught and cleaned up their act already.
Note that I'm not excusing Mike's behavior as some uncontrollable mental illness. He's still entirely at fault. I just think he has serious issues and should get help, or at least fuck off forever and stop screwing over the retro gaming community.

yeah, new info's always nice but i could do without Pat & co
Yep it was the actual one! They're showing it as the unicorn of lies that it is. lolThis is something I would expect from a 6th grade shit friend, not a grown up adult.
Damn, so this is the thing that was displayed by Mike Kennedy? this belongs in a museum man.

Well with the upcoming NIntendo Switch I guess we finally have a new "cartridge" game console.
Yeah... that just seems mean spirited.
He is just putting some stuff for sale to try and finance another project, OH THE HORROR!
The Chameleon was a sham for sure but that video was ridiculous

lol. I remember this. So funny.
Bart: Uh, say, are you guys crooks?
Tony: Bart, is it wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your starving family?
Bart: No.
Tony: Well, suppose you got a large starving family. Is it wrong to steal a truckload of bread to feed them?
Bart: Uh uh.
Tony: And, what if your family don't like bread? They like... cigarettes?
Bart: I guess that's okay.
Tony: Now, what if instead of giving them away, you sold them at a price that was practically giving them away. Would that be a crime, Bart?
Bart: Hell, no.

Mike Kennedy trying to restart RETRO magazine with a paetron model.
lol I actually just checked in on atariage a few days ago just to see if there was anything new with this whole fiasco out of nowhere and the Coleco Chameleon thread was still at the top of Modern Gaming
this guy seems blissfully unaware that he CRUSHED his own reputation. looking for almost 10Gs. o no
Retro has been a good mag, I've enjoyed every issue.
Maybe the guy can just do what he's good at? Everybody makes mistakes.
