Quoted from DaveH:

Yes, too much to ask. If anyone was able to do it, they would.

Heighway Pinball and Spooky Pinball have done it.

Quoted from DCfoodfreak:

If it can't run the Waze app it's worthless.

Statement of the year. Waze has saved me from major traffic jams and many speed traps. An app I'd gladly pay for.

Now that even some of the die-hard's are backing away, the company credo might be changing to:
"We make things nobody wants℠"

Quoted from PinballRulez:

We will see about that. TH has not proven anything yet except for being a beauty.

Maybe TH will be "The Best Built, highest quality pinball machine" ever built. WOZ sure wasn't yet it was touted to be just that within days of its' announcement.

Shouldn't one of the first ones go to the customer service guru?

Quoted from TaTa:

I've been to the last two open houses and have taken the tour of the assembly line. They place the playfield of the game that's being assembled above each station with the corresponding parts for that station installed on it. It's a quick easy way for the assembler at that station to get a quick reference as to the placement of that part.

Well, that's PROOF POSITIVE for me.

Quoted from Ebin:

I'm curious how many people put $$$ up front for this game? If investors didn't step in, you'd all be out however much $$$ JJP talked you out of to pre-order it.
You all must have more money than I do. And trust...

Duly noted.

Quoted from dannunz:

Take the 4 pop ups out....make the drops stationary targets only....put a Dmd in. Bam $5k

That sounds like a line from Blues Brothers......

Quoted from spfxted:

Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.
When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. Now, I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.
Now, an army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don't know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating.
Now, we have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit, and the best men in the world. You know, by God, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against. By God, I do. We're not just going to shoot the bastards. We're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel.
Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you'll chicken-out under fire. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood. Shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do.
Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything -- except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose, and we're gonna kick him in the ass. We're gonna kick the hell out of him all the time, and we're gonna go through him like crap through a goose!
Now, there's one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home, and you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you, "What did you do in the great World War II?" -- you won't have to say, "Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana."
Alright now you sons-of-bitches, you know how I feel.
Oh, I will be proud
to lead you wonderful guys
into battle anytime,
anywhere.
That's all.

George, where the hell have you been all these years?
