Podcast appearances and mentions of ray kassar

TCW Podcast Episode 226 - Ray Kassar   Ray Kassar rose from humble beginnings to become a talented, savvy, and personable executive. He began his career in the textile industry at Burlington Industries, where he eventually became president of its most profitable division. However, after the unexpected passing of Burlington's head, Kassar faced ageism and cronyism, which stifled his advancement. Despite climbing the corporate ladder again, he was passed over for a more tenured executive. Leaving Burlington, Kassar founded a company importing Egyptian cotton for the U.S., where he planned to work until retirement. However, Manny Gerard of Warner Communications recruited him to stabilize Atari after its recent acquisition. Kassar's leadership introduced a robust marketing strategy, reduced manufacturing defects, and turned Atari into a massive profit center. Though his rapid adaptation to the gaming industry sparked some resentment and controversy, Kassar's impact on Atari was undeniable. His story is one of nuance and twists, as Atari would not have achieved its success without his visionary leadership.   TCW 046 - Atari, Ray Kassar, and Warner: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/atari-ray-kassar-and-warner/ TCW 104 - A Holistic View of ET: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-holistic-view-of-et/ TCW 186 - Atari's Distribution Nightmare: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/atari-s-distribution-nightmare/ TCW 187  -  Atari's Sinking Ship: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/atari-s-sinking-ship/ Once Upon Atari - How I made history by killing an industry: (Affiliate link): https://amzn.to/4fUDNx6   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

E dire che sembrava ce li fossimo lasciati alle spalle, gli anni in cui due podcaster italiani potevano permettersi certe libertà, in cui qualcuno si metteva in testa di raccontarvi la storia di Atari e se ne usciva fuori con 4 podcast estremamente esaustivi ognuno su una presidenza diversa. Il tutto portato ai vostri padiglioni auricolari con maturato rispetto nei confronti di un'icona dei videogiochi e, chessò, di considerazione per un pubblico ormai sempre più informato e saputello. Semplicemente, da quando I Cugini Del Terribile si sono accorti che forse esisterà un mercato per la nuova console VCS (se mai uscirà) anche fuori dal loro buco del culo, si sono messi in testa di raccontarvi tutto, ma proprio tutto, su Atari. E cosa era rimasto ancora da dire? Facile: ATARI GAMES.

TCW Podcast Episode 104- A Holistic View of ET   The game that has become so shrouded in myth and legend is brought to light in this holiday episode!  We look at how E.T. was thrust upon Atari by Warner in a bid to bring Stephen Spielberg in to makes movies for Warner.  With a massive royalty overhead, a short five week production time, and a massive brain drain at Atari Howard Scott Warshaw stepped up to the challenge.  He took the ambitious task of programing E.T. for Atari, having done Raiders of the Lost Arc previously.  Despite the time crunch he decided do an adventure like game which, in combination with a lack of mentorship,  lead to some poor design choices.   Though lauded as being 'the worst game ever' E.T. is just an unfortunate game that hit Atari at an inopportune time.     Original E.T.

TCW Podcast Episode 087 - Virtual History   And now we discuss at the technology that has been just a few months away from revolutionizing video games for the past thirty years, virtual reality. While a hot topic again due to the emergence of the Occulus Rift and the PS4 VR, virtual reality has been a Holy Grail of computer graphics research since the early 1960s. We examine the origins of VR at the University of Utah and its refinement at Atari and VPL Labs before looking at several attempts to bring VR into the mainstream in the early 1990s. We end with a quick look at the state of VR today.   Master Collector of View Master: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JxAv3-QOzc Morton Heilig's Sensorama (Interview): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSINEBZNCks Legend of the Sword of Damocles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNSh519GxvY Sword of Damocles Headset Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OwlABr1o-g Sword of Damocles Headset With Explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vuGXWnYZpA Lecture from 1996 on Sword of Damocles Headset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2AIDHjylMI TCW 046 Atari, Ray Kassar, and Warner: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/atari-ray-kassar-and-warner/ Moon Dust Commodore 64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzVIEnTfclY Scientific American Interview Jaron Lanier: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/interview-with-jaron-lani/ AVGN Zelda II Power Glove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ab48nahZzo The Wizard - Power Glove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Esx7xgXl5g The Untold Story Of VR On The Sega Genesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UN_pN9ZU8Y Sega VR at CES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd98RGxad0U Dactyl Nightmare Gameplay and Unit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbOGV8-lyno Oculus Rift Polygon Nightmare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqfpt2hoVrU Discovery Channel Battletech Center: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdJA5C_Po4U&t=4s Polygon Disney Quest VR Article:https://www.polygon.com/features/2018/10/18/17888722/disneyquest-disney-vr-closed Zone Hunter Promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8STASuTKDag Buggy Ball VR on a game show: https://youtu.be/NkQCWiYB3Wc?t=475 John Carmack Interview on Oculus Rift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyuMVazQPos Tetris Effect Launch Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFVL6t8IHE8 Real Bomb Squad plays Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYunaBkn9Ng   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

E dire che sembrava ce li fossimo lasciati alle spalle, gli anni in cui due podcaster italiani potevano permettersi certe libertà, in cui qualcuno si metteva in testa di raccontarvi la storia di Atari e se ne usciva fuori con 4 podcast estremamente esaustivi ognuno su una presidenza diversa. Il tutto portato ai vostri padiglioni auricolari con maturato rispetto nei confronti di un'icona dei videogiochi e, chessò, di considerazione per un pubblico ormai sempre più informato e saputello. Semplicemente, da quando I Cugini Del Terribile si sono accorti che forse esisterà un mercato per la nuova console VCS (se mai uscirà) anche fuori dal loro buco del culo, si sono messi in testa di raccontarvi tutto, ma proprio tutto, su Atari. E cosa era rimasto ancora da dire? Facile: ATARI GAMES.

Dave Comstock, part 2   A couple of days after our interview, Dave Comstock (who worked at Atari on E.T. Phone Home, Superman III, and Clock & Dagger) e-mailed me saying he had remembered more stories from his Atari days. So we set up a second interview.    This interview took place on November 14, 2017.   “The project team was actually treated to a meal with Ray Kassar and some other executives in the executive dining room … it was like, one of the fanciest restaurants that you’ve ever been to.”   Video version of this interview

Puntata dedicata alla storia di Atari e alla presidenza del suo secondo presidente: Ray Kassar. Conducono Simone Guidi ed Emiliano Buttarelli.

 TCW Podcast Episode 046 - Atari, Ray Kassar and Warner   We continue on to part three of our four part look into Atari.  We delve into Atari under the leadership of Ray Kassar.  It becomes apparent that while Ray did make mistakes the leadup to the fall of Atari cannot be entirely placed at his feet.  We also explore the role of Warner in the direction Atari took and the difficult decision on whether to concentrate on home console or PC.  We also delve into the Arcade side of things and how, while successful, they were not without their growing problems.    Atari Pinball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqcDFAphThY   Space Invaders Atari 2600: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opru6qPsPa4   Atari Arcade Battlezone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymrYkbEbnEQ   Atari 400 and 800: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-InWwzs8Em0   Asteroids Arcade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYSupJ5r2zo   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: tcwpodcast@gmail.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Alex's Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 045 - Atari, Ventures and Acquisitions   In our second of four episodes detailing the rise and fall of the core Atari company we go over the rapid expansion of the company, and its ever increasing need for capital.  Atari had to court venture capital, and got the patronage of Don Valentine.  Later on to secure the funding needed for the VCS launch they had to be acquired by a larger company; that company was Warner Communications.  This acquisition as we start to explore was a blessing and a curse.  It ultimately led to the ouster of Nolen Bushnell, and Joe Keenan from Atari.  Now it would start a new era under the leadership of Ray Kassar.   Atari Arcade Tank: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OsBUzYBJgU   Atari Home Pong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqBlrULrbsg   Atari VCS Hardware Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7n5o5Wq3q4   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: tcwpodcast@gmail.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Alex's Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Dr. Priscilla Laws, AtariLab AtariLab was a hardware and software package for the Atari 400 and 800 computers. The AtariLab Starter Set with Temperature Module was released in 1983. The Light Module add-on was released in February 1984. AtariLab was developed at Dickinson College under the direction of physics professor, Dr. Priscilla Laws. Dr. Laws joined the faculty at Dickinson in 1965. She has dedicated herself to the development of activity-based curricular materials and computer software to enhance student learning in introductory physics courses — which started with AtariLab. This interview took place May 14, 2015 Teaser quotes: “I saw somebody dip a thermistor into cold water — ice water — and a real-time cooling curve was appearing on the screen. And it blew me away.” “So, Ron said: ‘I watched Ray Kassar open the safe, and he pulled $200,000 in bills out of the safe. He handed it to the woman and he said “Please say no more.”’” LINKS Priscilla Laws’ bio 1984 Atari Connection article about AtariLab Promoting the Diffusion of Undergraduate Science Curriculum Reform: The Activity-Based Physics Suite as an Example by Priscilla Laws
