2. New AC/DC code could take up to a year to get released. Metallica code will be next in line for an update.

Good. AC/DC is fine as-is. Straightening things out for Metallica owners is a good move.

3. X-Men code update is very doubtfull but maybe. He chalked this up to "Team difficulties"

I couldn't give a crap about that game, but this is 100% horseshit. Poor form of the highest order, Stern. POOR FORM. (Sorry, X-Men owners.)

7. The new boards for the next system are very small in the backbox and should have small LED lights on them as well to shine onto the translite. (He wants to be able to controll them via software so the backbox can blink again.)

ABOUT...FRICKIN'...TIME. That's one of the biggest things I've absolutely hated about modern machines.

9. He also said he and somebody else high up want to do an original theme someday. Gary Stern, not so much.

Of course Gary doesn't want to. There's no room for anything that might increase costs and take away from those Fat Cat profits. Le boo.

Jeremy called Tom a "monkey face" for no reason, Nick hit on Tony's girlfriend at the last staff party, and as for Bob, well...you know Bob...everybody still hates him 'cause he never flushes after dropping a deuce.

I love Fire! and it has been on my short list for a long time.

If I ever actually come across one locally that isn't trashed and overpriced by $1,000, it's MINE.
