Quoted from TheLaw:Good question...how long has Xmen been out?
But seriously, it's just going to get worse. The companies are going to keep pushing the buyers to see how far they can go.
Wait XMen is complete. I'm shocked. 
Sana'a
Quoted from teekee:You know how some kids at Christmas time end up playing with the box more than the toy inside? Just say'n... that is a nice box!
Enough already. That joke is long past its prime and looks redundant at this point. We get it.
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:I couldn't agree more. A picture of a game in a box?? Really??
I just want my f'ing game.
For all we know they're shipping an empty box. 
Also, did anybody else notice that WOZ lost some weight?
I seem to remember it being announced at 390 pounds unboxed a couple months ago. Guess it spent the last couple months making weight for the release. Either that or they forgot to put the coils in before weighing it...
empty boxes? really? If that's the Case. I'll sell my LOTR box. Lets start the bidding at $500.
Quoted from hlaj78:Can I order a box with a topper?
How about a roll of packing tape instead?
Quoted from Pinchroma:Enough already. That joke is long past its prime and looks redundant at this point. We get it.
Calm down... just a little joke. A ton of guys here making worse comments than mine here and you pick on me... 
I think you might be suffering from WoZless stressitis... get your refund, buy an ACDC and call me in the morning. 
Quoted from cal50:I can hardly wait for a review of the box and how much better it is than a Stern box.
I want a side by side comparison. I also want a bum to sleep in each box for a week to see which box is better to live in.

Their box will have greater attention to detail than the latest Stern game.

If people keep buying games before they play them. Many here will need the box to live in because the prices will be to outrageous.
Sooner or later, this shit has to come to an end. No more talk, no more hype, no more promises, no more bullshit. When the game is out, it'll either succeed or fail.
All this cutsey crap is just way out of control. Snippets of this, snippets of that, promises here, promises there. "It's killing it!" "It's shipping" "It's in a box!"
I think even people who bought into this game are scratching their heads.
I 100% fully understand people who hate Jersey Jack and WOZ. It's hard to respect any shop that spews so much junk. Let me know when it's out and done, hopefully it'll stand on it's own as a great game.

That has already happened.

Tom if you need a place to stay. You can crash here.

I call all the wooden wenches. They dont talk back

HEY, they arn't wooden. They are Resin.

As long as I can play Tommy and Shadow all day long, I don't care where I sleep.
Quoted from jarjarisgod:The hobby has devolved to the point where people get excited about a box.
I do not know about you, but I have been getting excited about a box for most of my life. Interest really increased rapidly around 7th grade if I remember correctly.

LOL Hilton, only us dirty minded folks are going to get this one.

Well played sir! 
OK, I'm convinced it's an empty box. Has no one else but me noticed the WOZ in the background with the hood (pf) up?

I totally agree. The JJP hype machine is so, so ridiculous. I sold my preorder a while back but still get the FB updates from Pinball Sales and JJP as well as the mailing list emails. In the early days the updates were exciting, real progress and thrilling to see the inner workings and development of the game. Now the updates are just self promoting, self congratulating crap pointing out how everyone thinks the game is amazing and how everyone is talking about WOZ and JJP and all this against the backdrop of a massively overdue release date and seriously underwhelming software makes me think the bluster is almost a reaction to the embarrassment of not delivering what was promised.
I hope they pull it out of the bag eventually but I think a lot of the good will they attracted originally has been lost over the last year or so.

Me too. Took me a while before I figured out how to open it and found what was inside.
Quoted from AkumaZeto:I cant wait till the linux kernel becomes corrupt and tons of people start going wtf. I run ubuntu on my main rig and it happens about once a year. There is still the lengthily thread on 3dm as well.
don't the stern games run ARM linux?
Quoted from vid1900:Joe,
You should fix the title of this thread if you want even an ounce of credibility on Pinside.
Misleading is bad enough from the usual trolls, but super Sh*tty from a vendor.
'
Agreed. As if Jack doesn't get enough grief from the usual detractors. He certainly doesn't need his own distributors giving them the chum.
Quoted from AkumaZeto:When something is hyped so much for so long it can never NEVER live up to said hype. WOZ PINBALL= EPISODE 1.
I cant wait till the linux kernel becomes corrupt and tons of people start going wtf. I run ubuntu on my main rig and it happens about once a year. There is still the lengthily thread on 3dm as well.
No Linux kernel ever becomes corrupt. It's read only. It's only when people fuck with it, try to recompile or add modules that taint it. I can guarantee it won't "corrupt". And if there is a boot problem ill know in 2 seconds if someone messed with the OS as every single file is check summed.
There is also a complete reinstallation mechanism which takes but a few mins and installs OS and code. This would be used only in very rare cases.
P.S. if your Ubuntu box is screwing up yearly turn off auto updates. They suck and the dependency mapping in apt is horrendous. A machine will NOT corrupt if nothing is modified. It's not win blows.

good to know.
What gpu is being used?
Quoted from AkumaZeto:good to know.
What gpu is being used?
No GPU is required. Everything is pre-rendered. Fonts and certain graphics are overlays on top of renderings requiring no JIT generation.

So no real time rendering then. What MB and Proc are being used? ssd? flash?
Quoted from Whysnow:Now the only trick is trying to make the old box seem like a new box.
Just turn it around.
I have a HUO Black Knight box I could let go of for $500.00.
Quoted from AkumaZeto:So no real time rendering then. What MB and Proc are being used? ssd? flash?
SSD is the HD. Mobo had onboard graphics and HD sound.
I won't say what proc or the specifics on the mobo. You guys will have to wait for the game . But trust me its overkill. Which is the way I like it.
I heard when they start shipping the first batch is headed to Australia, so that does two things
1) he ships this month as promised .
2) that buys him 45 more days to finish the code while they take a long boat ride..
Quoted from Pinchroma:Which is the way I like it.
Hoping its something with a decent bios or is it going to be locked down 
I just want to over clock the shit out of it to say i over clocked it lol. Then i can verify my first pinball on cpuz website
Quoted from AkumaZeto:Hoping its something with a decent bios or is it going to be locked down
Bios is standard/UEFI . It will be PW locked.
