Indeed, indeed, indeed – finally the movie looks like it’s nearly upon us. And I think they’re going to nail it as it looks like they’re hanging off the back of it a story about the demise of the video game industry itself in the mid-80’s.

There you have it. Tinged with lack of effort and negativity. My sixteen year old self would’ve been proud.
I too was going to post this, but forgot about it two minutes after i watched the trailer. Though i did think they’ve already shown the interesting bit. Hopefuly there will some interesting history of Atari to go with it
