I would hope so
Quoted from jackofdiamonds:Thanks for clearing the whole thing up.
But not unless you have a pre-order.Otherwise you're just bashing, and trolling and hating.
Yeah, he said "pull out" -- so -- he has a pre-order or it was a catholic birth control reference. The efficacy of both seem to be in question.
Quoted from PinballSTAR:Kevin and Alan are two great people glad they got their hands on one first. Getting close : )
It should have been you, man. It should have been you. 
I hope this counts as an actual update .
Let's just say i walked away thinking up ways to afford this game. Captive ball was not installed before this vid.
Hang in there . It will be worth the wait. But most of all don't "Stay Tuned" 
This was shot in 1080p but i had to rotate within youtube ..currently its at 720!p and gaining resolution , i hope.
Image stabilization will save your stomach contents but fucks with the image.
The pre rotated version is available for those that can rotate their screen <CNTRL ALT> <ARROW LEFT> works on my laptop. Or within screen settings.

Turn off stabilisation. Shakey is better than warped!
Still an awesome video.
Wonder why the ball slows down to almost a halt when it turn the corner on inlanes.
Noticed that in previous videos. Looks like it's in the final version?
Maybe it's to do with double inlanes?
Also laughing at smaug callout on ball lock

That is from the double inlanes. As you saw, the ball flew through the outer inlane. But in the inner, it hits a sharp angle as it comes down. To change that they would have to sacrifice the outer inlane flow.

It does!!! Thanks for posting that.
I realize the game was just pulled out and set up, but the setup needs to be tweaked a bit. It definitely needs more pitch in my opinion, and a quick adjustment on the flipper power to compensate. I want to see it playing fast and smooth like it would in someones house. Though, I like games to be setup fast, so take that with a grain of salt.

I noticed it hitting the fluffy white rubber for sure on the turn.

i have the same criticism on the set up .. but its still easy to tell this game is going to rock and i am no JJP fanboy. I still dont "get" WOZ .
Quoted from FalconPunch:Turn off stabilisation. Shakey is better than warped!
i might re-post it .. i opted for the Stabilization , not knowing the outcome and realized too late .. I can't get to it until much later on. Not sure demand will warrant it. But i will do it anyways.

Thanks Ed!
I just noticed that this game has white flipper rubbers and over on the Classic Pinball NJ thread, red rubbers. I wonder why the difference?
Game looks great, nice to get some impressions from folks that are getting to play them.
PS, that stabilization I think is youtube's work, not your phone. When you upload they conditionally offer to stabilize and their algorithm has a distinct look.

I would be grateful if you could reupload without stabilization

Only bother with OIS. Not digital. Digital's pretty awful.
Game looks very pretty.
I found the same video on your YouTube profile without the stabilization. Its rotated the wrong way but If i look at it on my phone its fine.
Mainly wanted the steady video to see the software version which looks to be 00.28
So its the same software they have had for a year.
I am guessing Keith will release 1.00 when shipping starts or shortly after.
Pretty amazing that people are having fun on the beta software

Original video before stabilization. Seems to still be processing in youtube a little.

Going to be waiting a while here in the land down under so I'll take anything I can get!

Jack looks very tired in the pic above. Working hard to get these Hobbit out to vendors and customers.. 
Quoted from xbloodgreenx:Are you taking pictures with a potato?
Damn. Beat me to it.
Quoted from cooked71:OK, just read the username
I think Im ordering Hobbit based on this pic alone:77532a042090e3d26cf65cc46638c535b82f6d24th_(resized).jpg
Comes with a pair of glasses. 
Quoted from xbloodgreenx:Are you taking pictures with a potato?
I'm crying I'm laughing so hard. Was looking this page on my mobile, scrolled past the pictures thinking, "wow, those are some blurry pictures", scrolled to the next post and read the above!
I almost dropped my phone I started laughing so hard. Then the posts after continued to "fuel the flames" of laughter.
Damn that was a good laugh.

The ramps look powdercoated in that picture.
Quoted from o-din:Is that Shaq?
(Please Aaron, are you for real?)
(One-on-one with Shaquile O'Neal?)
Yeah, 34 Centre from the L.A. Lakers
(You must've been nervous)
I knew I could take him
Stared' at Shaq, psyche him out
I said O'Neal, you're in my house now
Start the game the whistle blows
Pay attention close 'cause the story goes...
Quoted from pinaholic:Play the game whilwas you're at it.
Thay's wha we try to do. Yous guys are having tooo much fun!
Quoted from o-din:Is that Shaq?

Quoted from pinaholic:Sorry I posted the wrong picture. I was driving and messed up

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:... actually it is Tim duncan.

Quoted from paynemic:Any chance there's a hobbit pin in the wild near Chicago? I'm heading there next week...

Quoted from CobraClutch:I remember my first day on the internet.
