According to Damian, series ticket holders games should have been tested this week and hopefully put in boxes. Expecting to see some pictures/info next week.

Good news to learn Damian is still shooting for end of month to have first games ready to ship. I can drink a lot of beer before then.

Lately I was hooked on hard seltzer. A malted sparkling water is like beer with bubbles. Lots less flavor but then they add citrus. I like them and now I’m hooked. Six cans a day times 15 days and I’m going to need some bigger pants. Should Damian not show us games then, I’ll keep going too. Nothing can make me stop drinking these everyday EXCEPT for Haggis showing us the goods. Don’t kill me Damian.

I am a fan of saisons. Played around a bit with farmhouse yeasts a few years back. Used them on wild harvest apples too, they make an ace cider.

We’re talking beer brewing?

Yes indeedy.

Unless you want to talk bourbon?

Is there a bug in Pinside where it is mixing posts? I thought this was the Haggis thread?

I still haven't watched the gameplay video cause I think Martin is right and experiencing a new game without foreknowledge is more fun.

This thread hasn't changed. Gotta talk about something while we wait.

I'm up for any fermentation chatter, there's not much i haven't done from salami through to pickles, spirits and beer.

Unfortunately for me it's never been a 'hobby' that i could just get disillusioned with, but a life long obsession.

Moved on from owning one now. Decided I would buy a CCRLE instead. Figured I would get it quicker.

Come play mine when it comes. Was talking to a mate on the phone yesti, he has paid his invoice, so should have his shortly. He's at Newie.

I have another mate at Grafton who is getting the cactus canyon LE too.

I was only talking to my mate nearby the other day saying we will have to make a Sunday trip to yours again soon. We were going to do it a few weeks back but we have both had Covid at different times in the last few weeks.

I have had a Bally CC for years now so I am keen to compare the 2.

You are welcome any time. As you know, you can camp here too if you want to have a drink.

I appreciate the accommodation offer but I just can't "put them away" like I used to in my advanced years. Knocks me around too much.

Having Covid has taken its toll on me too. Still not 100% several weeks later. But I did find something to do while I was off sick.... Black Knight upper playfield done. New hardtop overlay, new plastics & posts etc, screws polished & stainless regrained.

Might have to do a Fathom after this one.

Cool as.

Neil is blacking out a Judge Dredd for me at the moment. Got inspired watching the HEP thread where Chris blacked one out. Can't find gold trim here is the only prob, but black legs and chrome trim will be fine.

I have a heap of plating I want to get done in the next couple of months. Gold, chrome etc. I am going to take it all to Cardiff platers in Newcastle.

Please don’t turn this into the "wanna have a sleepover" thread. I get excited every time I look and there’s 20 new posts. I think that someone has seen something.

The conversation was finished and you have just done the thing you said you didn't like by posting another post to fool others into thinking the thing you were complaining about.

Was a joke man.

Mine too mate.

well shit.. I saw 50 new posts in the haggis thread today and thought maybe some new info had come out! Nope.

me too ... GOT ALL EXCITED FOR NOTHING.

That happens a lot in the pinball industry/hobby.

Know why?

I got turned on by the two pics of haggis a few pages back. It actually looked tasty. But I’m still not trying it. I’ve had vegemite (yuck) and lamb kabobs I suspect were kangaroo (not the nuts and it was ok but tough). I’ve eaten goat, gator and snake. I passed on roadkill possum and squirrels at my uncle’s.

Vegemite on buttered toast, not too much though, just a thin coating. Beautiful!
Turkish beef/lamb Kebab from an authentic Kebab shop. Beautiful!

There was your mistake - marmite is a lot better than Vegemite. And not the British marmite.

We've done this one, but i was a marmite eater when i was a kid, can't stand it now. Promite is worse.

I always loved devon rolled up with a bit of tomato sauce in the middle as a short pants guy. I still eat it now and then when the whim hits me.

For those playing outside the Land of Sun it's a pressed meat made from the absolute scraps and cheaper than any other form of protein here. Fed to kids.
I guess it's close to bologna but with more sawdust and less flavour. I see google call it fritz?

I found an original Fathom to play today. Reminds me why I grabbed a mermaid. Place had a bunch of bally games. Not a Stern to be seen

20220416_171140 (resized).jpg

All well and good. BUT, what type of beer were you drinking and was it Vegemite or pro-mite on your toast.

Thinking about putting an order for celts next week.The game looks great.Also, you can’t beat a Vegemite & cheese sandwich

No beer there. I don't drink if I have to drive. Family time and all that.

Now that I'm relaxing, it's time to break out a cellar beer. Vegemite, promite and any yeast paste are all shite.

Send me a PM, if your last name is Smith or you don't care whats on the bg then i'll do you a deal. A new backglass is $500 if you don't like my name on it.

Trading away a celts?

And lagers.

Halving my collection. It missed the cut. Medieval Madness LE went during the week.

If you ever fancy an amazing lager, ill gladly let you hold my weiner.

20220325_142903 (resized).jpg

Well shit, too bad your 3 oceans and 5 continents away

Had a few i've enjoyed, mainly IPL's. But you have to pay through the nose to get a decent lager and i prefer ale in any case.

All the mainstream lagers i have ever tasted (besides a couple euros and a Japanese one) are screaming with faults.

People identify themselves with their favourite beer faults here, your either a Tooheys or VB guy in the past. There's a few slightly better ones now, but they are still all shit. Some of the US lagers i have tasted are just plain horrible, including Budweiser.

I'm sure i'll get lambasted by the expert who's friends with some brewers, but it's not my fault he can't live with dissenting views.

Cheers for the offer but my shed won’t be ready for a few months anyway. I’ll just wait. Did your Tron make the cut?

I like beer, all beer. I've had a few tasty ipls. I'm lucky I guess. Having access to fresh European lagers and American interpretations. Some of the best Ipas in the world. I don't judge your taste, doesn't effect how I drink. Just be happy with what you consume.

Does anyone know if this release is another P.O.S FAST 2.0 release in conjunction PPS?
You know like that Totan2.0 cluster f*k seen as unplayable at TPF 2022?
Like most of the other 2.0 projects being down for most of the show?

Never mind; I see in previous posts that it's rumor to be FAST 2.0.
Probably taking them AGES to code because they didn't get the community to help code it before porting.
That's probably the reason it's taking forever for these to ship.
It also explains the pricing of this title. :rolleyes:

Please don't start that shit in here too. I've read much more than i want to.

Yessir indeedy. You can chew my daily drink, can fermented mid strength, yeast driven soft ale. Lost my taste for hoppy beers, overdose i spose. Used to buy hops 10kg at a time.

Tron is the best pinball machine i've ever played so far. If i could find more i'd buy more.

If you really want a Celts in a couple of months I’d be taking punkin up on his offer. If haggis are true to their word, they have totally moved onto Fathom and will be quite busy with those for a fair while. I’d say a very long time. 250 mermaids to build and then the standards.

Thanks for your feedback. I shall ignore it because I'm entitled to post my feelings when necessary.
It's clear that the unethicals are working on this project too. Rick and FAST in bed with Haggis.
Glad I followed my own advice and didn't put money into yet another "startup"

There was a total 2.0 at TPF??

There was suppose to be... it was in Mirco's booth; but every time I walked by it was "off"... just like all the other FAST projects at the show.

Yeah I’m in no rush ( been waiting for a turtles for ever) . I’ll send them an email & see what they say this week. I’d prefer a nib, but if it can’t happen I’ll get in touch with punkin.

Will be very interesting to see what they say.

I’ll let you know

Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing that. It always was off and or had people standing around it.
