    Something to do with an old game console, so yes it's a nerd thing.

    I'm actually mortified that I know this, I am not a nerd - there was a thread on this before, that's how I know. Honestly.

    there were some polls where people were asking if people preferred/owned a Sega Saturn or a Sony PlayStation, then someone asked why there wasn't an option for Atari Jaguar, thus the legend began....

    I think it means 'whatever' or 'I dont care'.

    I think its only used by guys who people to show that they are 'too cool'!

    It was one of the most entertaining console in the world. 10 times more powerful than a PC bought nowadays.

    It was also like asking "do you want tea, coffee or a punch in the face". And if you chose Atari Jaguar you were hard since you'd take that punch in the face.

    With the way games are nowadays it's nearly the same bleedin' thing.

    *spends an hour downloading a game*
    It's just like back in the 80s!

    It had a small memory. Smaller than you think.
    Well ok, it had no memory at all. Which made programming it kind of pointless.

    The CPU actually had a hamster on a wheel inside it.

    Unreal- hamsters! Hard to believe now looking back, I read somwhere that once the change to squirrels was made, the gaming world was turned on its head. Speed, power, atari jaguar, all those things .zzzz. . .
