Oh god, another one of these threads o-din. You make me laugh.

Grabbing my popcorn.

This thread:

Context for the above image:

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Odin has this neverending bitch-a-thon about Stern's themes which entertains nobody and contains very little wisdom considering how well Stern is doing amid steadily increasing asking prices. His banal one-man crusade completely ignores the realities of the marketplace, the buyer-base, and in fact Stern's why-the-fuck-should-we-change-course-when-are-having-big-successes business plan. He also tends to cherry pick the "genius" of Williams/Bally's and I guess now DE/Sega's licenses, ignoring the fact they had as many misses as hits. You'll notice he didn't post a picture of Big Guns, Johnny M, and Popeye.
So that's what it means.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Apparently he's drunk. Or was drunk? At best this rambling, incoherent word salad is the result of a hangover.
I think he's just trying to say he likes the themes of old W/B games better than new Sterns? Let's just leave it at that and call it a night.

Honestly surprised this didn't make it as an EM or as a questionable 90's Gottlieb machine. Seems like it would fit in well with the "collect all family members" kind of ruleset.
