The other one is locked in the basement and will never be shown the light of day.

Come on, let's see some Hobittsis.

Hey look, you're posting in all the hobbit threads just like me. That is a witty joke you made right free someone else made it. Almost original.

I'd guess only the text was photoshopped. That was most likely the Engineering Sample Game that made a stop for some fun on its way to Ted.

It was an engineering sample. It is going to Ted for programming work after.

The OPs could request that, but I don't think we can.

Nothing JJP does will ever have an impact on your thinking.

You are absolutely correct Sir, I do not know you, and you also do not know me. Therefore the only way I can know anything about you is your online persona that I accumulate from reading all of your posts in JJP threads the past few years. And in my recollection of them, my impression of you is not good. You seem to harp and bitch a lot, and you are one of the people that seems to have no actual interest in the game except to bitch about things. From my viewpoint, you appear to have a desire to knock JJP more than a desire to one day own a game he makes. I'm sure if JJP made a machine that you wanted available to you, yes, you would buy from them. As the people that constitute buyers and players of pinball machines, we can be a fickle group. We can all change our minds when a company puts out something we want to own and play. But again, the persona you choose to show me in your online statements in every JJP thread so far isn't one I'd really take the time to get to know better. So the status quo can continue, or... well I leave that up to you to decide.

Look back at the WOZ threads. That was a constant statement as WOZ was being built. JJP seems to operate differently. They don't run like a full widget assembly line, it seems to be more of a small group taking games all the way through the process.

What are they at? So I guess that makes the answer At least 4 years!

Well obviously JoeJet cares. Otherwise he wouldn't be so concerned about the update. You can't say "Who cares" when you follow something closely.

Jack posted a video of a "cartwheel". He didn't quite get his feet straight up in the air, but he made a good attempt at it. With video of the truck pulling away.

Not only will they be here, they will get louder. If a plastic in a game cracks they will screaming for an investigation. There will never be enough cars in the parking lot for them. Every minor issue will be a federal case and they will demand that Jack should replace machines on location that are in bad condition because the operators don't maintain them.

In other words, they will do everything they can to make sure you don't enjoy the game, and every flaw is another attack vector for them. Fun times.

Actually most of it was an opinion IMO.

Prepare for him to call you a stalker... Because that is what trolls do when you point out how much they are trolling.

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.

Fanboy: They are limited to 1500 I think. When the Smaug was announced, people that had ordered the LE had the option of switching over. So their vacated LE number could be resold. Because of that switch, I doubt all 1500 LEs are sold yet.

I'm surprised you don't have Ghostbusters listed yet. What is taking so long?

Isn't that the purpose of every single thing in a pinball machine? To do something? If there is a standup do you think the programmer is sitting there saying "FINE, I"LL MAKE THE STANDUP DO SOMETHING"?

Were you sitting there saying "FINE, I"LL MAKE THIS PINSIDE POST DO SOMETHING"?

I disagree. I love that part of the discovery the first times I play a game. I like when games almost seem random at first, because I want to dig into it. What caused X, how do I do Y, all of it. I really like when I get the first hook into a game. If it is a multiball or a mode, it starts to lead me to more. I'm totally fine with that taking more than 10 games because I learn how the game feels to me. Is just blindly shooting it at first satisfying or not? All games are equal the first time you play them.

And I tend not to cheat. I usually don't like to read how to do things before playing the game. I want to discover it over some amount of games.

The technical name is "Unpatchable".

(Ok, pardon, I know that isn't it, but I just had a lockdown bar on a Jumping Jack I just picked up that looked like someone dropped and it had a burr right on the left palm place. A little wet dry sandpaper, and a bit of buffing and you can't even tell it was there. I'm always concerned about rings and things bashing the lockdown bar on newer powdercoated games).

Have the owner call JJP support. I'm not sure what other suggestion you are looking for. Unless the location gives you the keys and you do their repairs, you're just wasting time.

Have you checked it for a loose connector?

It was a big ruckus when it changed. But we've all known that change for what, a year now? Things always change along the way when designing and building pinball machines. Ideas that sound good may not work right when the whitewood is built. License holders may not approve of some interactions. We only even know it existed in the first place because JJP tells us things about games years in advance. Don't worry, plenty of people have smashed on JJP because Smaug doesn't eat pinballs.

I did that roadtrip to pick up my WOZ at the factory. It was an absolute adventure! I was lucky as heck that Jack was in the office that day, and he gave me a tour of the factory and signed the box for me. If you can swing it that way, I highly recommend doing it.

It is very common that the shooter spring on Twilight Zone was swapped out over the course of the games life. So a lot of them are full power springs now, but they are supposed to be the weaker one.
