Quoted from Rush1169:If it's Lawlor, I gotta shrug a little. The last time Lawlor was considered 'epic' was when Stern introduced PLD and Monopoly. How's that one working for you? Actually Monopoly is not that bad, but it's not that great either.
Shrek. Personally, I like the game, but not 'epic'.
CSI. Never played it, can't comment, but they say little praise.
Family Guy. I like this one a tad more than Shrek, but not 'epic'.
Nascar. Not bad. Not great.
Ripleys. Not bad. Not great.
Roller Coaster. Not bad. Not great.
Monopoly. Not bad. Not great.
No Good Gofers. Not bad. Not great.
Safecracker. Format not fair to say much.
roadshow. Not bad. Not great.
Twilight Zone. Epic.
Addams Family. Epic.
Funhouse. Epic.
Whirlwind. Good.
Earthshaker. Good.
Banzai Run. I think it's epic, consensus is good.
What have you done for me lately? Not much. Hopefully if it is a PL announcement, JJP provides renewed energy and enthusiasm and Lawlor resumes his epic productions. The potential is there.
i think you went too easy on the newer stuff (nascar, monopoly and RCT the same rating as NGG and Roadshow??!!?!?!? Blasphemer!
But your trend line is correct; he went from Epic to shitty.... and I'm a huge Lawlor fan- so that's painful to say.
After a week of conjecture, I think it will be difficult for the announcement to be anything but less epic that some of the grand suggestions here....
A surprise announcement may have worked better....
Quoted from Rarehero:I think there's a difference between "best intentions getting smacked down with reality based circumstances" and "lying".
Not really..... Except in politics.
I love acdc, but in general - I think band-themed pins are way too polarizing....
I'd like to see a break from them for a few years....
Premature for this to be "epic."
I'd call it "exciting"
Epic will be decided when we see the actual result.... in.... 201x?
Quoted from DanQverymuch:Yea unto you too, I'm sure if you ever attempted such a, yes, epic endeavor as starting a pinball company from scratch
This is the kind of fawning rhetoric that makes me laugh.
Most companies that are startups (and, guess what- there's TONS), REALLY start from scratch. JJP had 3 years of revenues BANKED before he produced a single product! That's a pretty comfortable way to get started...
I guarantee there's a lot of businesses that would love to shift ALL the risk of their startup to the consumers like Jack did.... and that's exactly what happened here.
Now I certainly hope JJP beats the odds and stays in business (its much better for pinball that way), but this silly deifying of the guy is just foolish.
Quoted from PW79:More posts were made before the announcement than after
They announced!?!
Quoted from jarjarisgod:I'm a fan of this rule.
"The Changeup". Funny movie and in addition to Olivia's assets it also features Leslie Mann's surprisingly perky cans. Well worth a watch.
Yes- she's good in that... till she comes to bed "guns hot" - great scene though!
She also co-stars with another hottie in "This is Forty"... and got to 2nd base with her....
