  It looks like you’ve got an offer for a Philadelphia $50. I’ll offer $75. I think Haggis is gross. Naming your company after a disgusting food is not good branding. Disgusting food, disgusting scammers. Pinball is hard.

  South Korea Pinball? Post #5 in topic

  Posted 6 days ago by ToucanF16 – in Locations to play ‐ Last reply 6 days ago

  Pinball is hard to find in Asia. I lived in Hong Kong eight years and only found one place. It had four pins; and they were dirty and unkempt! One ray of light is Japan. There you find the Silver Ball Planet in Osaka. A great location I frequent that has almost a 100 pins. The guy has all the newest stuff; all clean and in great working order. https://www.silverballplanet.jp/

  Robert took money saying it was to invest in X. He then invested the money in Y. That's fraud plain and simple. Robert thought he was going to sell thousands of these games. Because they were so beautiful! I believe in his mind, this was going to be such a profitable endevour that he'd have all the money back in the cookie jar before anyone noticed. But pinball is hard, and he didn't. And here we are.

  This thread surely isn't giving me confidence in my deposit lol No excuse but the worst experience I've ever had is with Spooky and it was awful. I or my friends have had a miserable experience with every manufacturer. Pinball is hard and sometimes you order a new Stern and have to spend countless hours fixing something as simple as a scoop.

  Watched the video. Chris seems sincere but I don't have a real sense of where this will go at all. I am sure that you can salvage somethings from Deeproot and apply lessons learned but I believe that even having a tertiary linkage to Deeproot could be troubling. As we have seen time and time again and in the whale thread, pinball is hard.

  The news will answer this question. WW3 might start over this place? It didn’t over Ukraine. A sea based invasion is the worst attacking position possible. 30 planes going into an airspace isn’t an invasion. Russia does it to Alaska on a regular basis. Could China start stuff tomorrow, sure. And 2022 could be the year that 2 communist superpowers are so economically crippled they can’t afford to saber rattle for a decade or more. I guess we will see. Anyway, back to “pinball is hard”. :)
