Quoted from DCfoodfreak:

Good god. If you are honestly shamed in to staying get a refund and a pair of balls. Every one here is hopefully adult enough to read both sides see tomorrow's update and make a decision after weighing everything.
Meanwhile I certainly don't go on to those other games threads suggesting folks move their orders over. Now that is classless. Even worse why are you even commenting when you have not bought a new game since when? Or worse , ever?
I certainly appreciate both sides by brothers in the same boat but seriously your position is mute.

Quoted from Draegermeister:

I am still in. Sure, I was a bit nervous, but I want to play the game. I come from a culture that loves startups and underdogs, so I don't expect a startup to work like a decades old Monopoly.
I really like the new "Achiever Edition" that the people who stay in will get. When this all blows over, those machines will serve to mark a place in history, where Pinball can enjoy another golden age. This golden age will be marked by some new vendors, a lot of new technology, and a ton of fun. In 20 years (as I look at my GNR machine) the Achiever Edition will start conversations about this moment in the history of the machines we love.

Quoted from Pinhead1982:

I emailed Jaap
Things are going in the right direction. Waiting to hear back on a few things which takes a few weeks.
Guess he means the playfield artwork approval but I don't know.
News letter will come when there's more to report.

In the new spirit of all things forgiven, this "coffee liqueur" poster may just find a place in my game room near my Big Lebowski:

Quoted from Aurich:

I built a prototype of a lit joint mod for TBL last night, couldn't resist seeing the idea happen after it was brought up.
If there's interest we can make these a real mod, we're just having fun with it right now.

Body seems to be OK to me, the Dude didn't seem to like fat joints... maybe a roach in the end...

Quoted from Aurich:

Scott has one of the proto TBL machines, so we'll figure out how the wire will be routed.
The intensity and ash look way better in person, the photo just doesn't do it justice. Blows out like it's white hot, but in person it's a lovely solid orange, with bits of black flecks looking like cooled ash on the outside. But that's something we'd nail with the board that powers it, since it will do different fade effects to the cherry.
This was just a test build to see if the concept worked, and I can't stop flicking it on to look at it, came out better than I would have even hoped. Wish I could take a pic that did it justice, I'll work on figuring that out.
In the meantime here's a quick photo of what it looks like off, you can't see the LED at all. Paint job was just a quickie too, the brown isn't quite right, I just used some leather dye I had handy from my Metallica hammers.
