pm sent

boy, sorry to hear. this is exactly why i had to walk away from an order on this one. i have 6 and 4 year old daughters and they would never go downstairs if this game was in the basement. my only hope on this title would be to put in garage so i am sending you a pm. good luck.

Just cover it with a blanket when your not playing it....

I think there is a guy with a Tron.....

What are some titles you are interested in. Would you meet 1/2 way?

Gorgar & Freddy + Cash?

You go, doc! I wanna play a Walking Dead LE...

Yes, just trying to be the wise ass of the thread. Good luck!

Aww man that sucks. The things we do for our kids right.

My wife did the same thing to me at first with my SS. I told her it's staying and she needed to play it. It's still here.

LMAO!!!!! Maybe you could through in the Freddie topper where he is actually crawling out of the machine.

I wanted to buy a SST about four years ago, had a deal worked out and everything. My then wife nixed the deal due to the insects grossing her out. It happens...and it sucks.

I see these threads and can't help but think how completely ridiculous they are. This is a pinball not a haunted house. This reminds me of the even more ridiculous threads the guy selling ACDC due to the barely legible DMD animations. It's a parent's job to teach his kids not to shield them from the world. Seriously. So ridiculous. I suppose your kids aren't allowed outside without a blindfold?

I am guessing you have never had young children? I have sold many machines because my young children freaked out. the only logic to young children is that they aren't logical. Your not failing as a teacher if your child is afraid of something. You can talk and educate them all you want, but I am not going to have my child be afraid to go into the basement because of a box with some scary artwork on it.

Now if there were clowns down there, that is a different story..... Everyone should be afraid of clowns....

It's not like he can control what his kids are afraid of. If my son was afraid of something in my house I would definitely remove it. It is good parenting to do so

Lol I came here to complain.

And yes I have three kids. And it is silly. If it's really your favorite game then put another translite on it. I bet you could come up with something in an hour or so meshing images from Google together and get it printed at gameongraffix.com. Tell Ya what, I'm on route to the mountain but if the Internet is usable there I might even be willing to take a stab at it for you.

Thus really not a bad idea. Make a translite that's based off the comic book.

Disagree. What's in the house should not be dictated by the emotions of small children unless the item is actually harmful to them. Again this is where the parents duty is to educate. The child will see worse out in the world. In this case, removing the translite might help. The game really isn't meant to be scary and isn't.

Good luck with the sale.

There IS the other parenting technique -> show the children as much violence, gore, sex and objectionable material as possible!!!! This way they will be very well adjusted, and not scared of anything. I've known quite a few kids raised this way!!! Aaaaahhhh memories - very interesting results too!!!

It's about dead people that eat living people. Lol. Zombies are classified as horror. Meaning scary. To an adult it's not scary. Sure you can explain to them it's not real but children have things called an imagination that most lose as an adult

here we go again, this thread has blown off the rails, lmao.

Sorry. I'm in a bad mood today . Continue with the sale Dave.

Or that is the reason he gave........he wants the pin out. And to have DR Spock tell people how to parent via this forum is as ridiculous. Game for trade or sale. Case closed. Whose is interested.

er, Zombump

My girl's are 7 & 5 , they have came into my movie room when i was watch-n TWD on tv ,, they watch'd a bit then left ,, my oldest play'd TWD below 1 , I don't think it bothered her , she didn't say anything ,, near the end my 5 yr old walk's up ,, They R cool w/ it .. But I would Never Push Horror on a child ,, there's enough of that on TV and N everyday life .. GLWTS or Trade !!

JFC, my daughter is scared to fucking death of Santa Claus no matter how much education we give her, and we're giving a guy a hard time about selling a TWD? Man.

Dots that show zombies getting their heads shot off may or may not bother a child. Or an adult. I for one wouldn't let my kid play GTA. But the 7 year old across the street can (and does)

Too bad that the "hilarious" red-neck comedy hour approach of the pin can't offset the scary stuff for your family. Maybe a translite of the "get 'er done guy" would help?

GLWS.

Wow. You just cannot relax on that. For the love of Pinside, go have some rum with a splash of eggnog added for color.

For the record, my kids were raised on horror. My wife and I were too. It's fun if presented and discussed well with them, but def not for all families. I totally get the OP's situation.

My son is going for Air Force officer and so is my daughter. Very well adjusted young adults now.

If they pull a gun out in a clock tower, well, then I will have to reconsider my parental choices.

I had the same worries with my girls when I bought a TWD PRO NIB.

My solution, I use the South Park bus driver's technique of stating loudly "If you go in that room a big scary monster will come out and eat you!"

Happy holidays-

You're a good man Charlie Brown. Too many negative Nellies around here. Good luck with the trade. You will have your chance some other time. I have an STLE, but not ready to let it go.

Good guy bump!

All I have to get rid of is a "restored" Devil's Dare, but I would assume that's out of the question (unless apparently you become a better parent).

Who says all Nellie's are negative!

Sorry OP. too much me, not enough you there.

Bump for great seller! TWD is a keeper. If Stern keeps going back to the safe route, a pin this graphic may not come back around for awhile; which...is...why you are selling.

Let's get this good guy a Star Trek bump!

You don't understand how the brain works in small children. They are not like adults where they can use logic to work out that their fears aren't real.

Once the amygdala ( fear centre ) is activated in children , whether the feared stimulus is imagined or real , the brain responds the same.

You can only educate to some degree as you can't go against the way the brain works.

So, remember you are coming from position of a logical adult, not an emotional child who's brain is still developing!

Anyways....

Seller is looking for a STLE trade for TWDLE! Anyone??image-817.jpg

Just for the record....I'm afraid of Santa too...

Shame on you! Maybe you have boys or no kids at all and cant relate!

I really wanted this pin as well, found one out in the wild, took my 6 yr. old girl out to play it and she walked after her first ball drained. Literally stood about 2 pins away from me while i finished out her game...Im with the op on this one, luckily i didn't buy it first but the same thing happened to me.

Back on topic again, good trade for someone who has had their fill of STLE

Dude, it's like when the river caught fire in Cleveland. It was was 20 years ago and making fun of it will never not be fresh. The TWD Comedy Central pin is exactly the same thing. It's the gift that keeps on giving. A TWD...COMEDY pin! The fact that you can't see this explains a lot. You're too close to it. Back up and enjoy the magic.
