I suggest that website needs some even less flattering photos of him plastered on top. Not like the current ones are any good but still.

Question nobody's asking, is Houdini even a good theme? Maybe for a 1930's nickel game, but now?
With enough money, and John not in charge, maybe this could be pulled off.
But they'd have to, without a doubt, offer SOMETHING to the people who got burned before. Maybe the game is 50% off, they get a LE... something. If they don't do that, dead in the water.

Without a doubt? How do you figure that? I would expect an investor to see it as "not my problem" and leave that bit of retribution to Jpop to reconcile externally. So good luck with that.
Houdini was an amazing and fascinating person!
utterly zero chance i would give a single dime to any company actively doing business with jpop though.

Or you're harry anderson from night court.. Honestly if someone came out with a penn & teller pinball game and had some of their famous tricks (maybe the 3 cup fake out using dropping platforms and VUKS to move the ball around), and lots of cursing by Penn I would be ALL IN!

Idk, since the widespread vitriol for Jpop seems like it might stand a chance of completely sinking their investment, i would hope they would think of it as their problem too. Assuming they're semi-experienced, semi-intelligent investors anyway.

Yeah, some kind of magic themed pinball would be awesome, but not Houdini and not with JPop's involvement.
Houdini is a historical artifact, Penn & Teller would be a great one. A wizard mode could be "Teller Speaks" .
Quoted from MinusWorlds:Everyone needs to bombard American Pinball's Facebook with reviews and comments. Only post factual information and do not threaten them in any way, but let it be known what is happening ASAP people. JPOP is hiding behind American Pinball and we need to make sure everyone knows the deal.
Someone should post a link to this (and other JPOP) thread(s).
So there's now 7 reviews of American Pinball, but the "likes" have gone up 19 since the announcement. That's seriously disappointing. A lot of shit being talked on Pinside and not a lot of action. It takes 2 minutes to write a review to warn the pinball community. I'm seriously beginning to think RobT is on to something....if you think social media doesn't mean anything you are dead wrong. Don't bother bitching if you aren't willing to take the time to help warn people.

A page "like" simply means someone is following the page so they can find it again. It doesn't mean they actually necessarily "like" it.
Quoted from ForceFlow:A page "like" simply means someone is following the page so they can find it again. It doesn't mean they actually necessarily "like" it.
Of course. I realize that. It also means there's at least 12 people that viewed/liked the page and did not write a review. Actually 13 because I did not "like" the page but wrote a review.

A lot of people are tying JPOP to this company, which though is most likely true, hasn't been proven yet.
Quoted from toyotaboy:A lot of people are tying JPOP to this company, which though is most likely true, hasn't been proven yet.
Good timing as I was actually going to say the same thing. Unless I missed it somewhere, actual *confirmation* by American Pinball that JPop is the designer has not been made, correct?
Maybe we can get Lorenzo to send another email asking that question?

Would be the world's greatest coincidence of 2016 if he and/or Magic Girl isn't part of this.
Quoted from flynnibus:Would be the world's greatest coincidence of 2016 if he and/or Magic Girl isn't part of this.
Agree completely. Like I said before, I have no doubt that JPop is all over this. But the question is whether American Pinball has actually acknowledged that? I don't think that they have. And that is no accident.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:It takes 2 minutes to write a review
Added my 2 cents (all it's worth)!
Posted as well.
You know, I could have a scintilla of compassion if the guy would have come out and apologized and explained things
But that's John, no remorse or shame and here he is again
Quoted from Russo121:In cowboy days, a posse would be mounting up about now.
Have you seen any good cowboy movies (aka westerns) lately?
I just rented Bone Tomahawk on DVD and it was OK.

Bone Tomahawk was good.
I'll check out the Magnificent Seven reboot. I assume you've seen most of the classics already...
Cowboys vs. Aliens, Wild Wild West etc...

Wait, those are the "classics"?!?
damn i wonder if john papa duece knows that his hate thread is 19.5 thousand posts long!?! holy crap!

Yes. He reads every post.

Kurt Russell is AWESOME!!!!

Quoted from PorkChopExpress:Kurt Russell is AWESOME!!!!
Ha ha your the reason I chose the Pinside name I did ....... the conversation I had with you 1st time I met Ya @ SFGE ....... & @ that time I wasn't even on Pinside yet
That's disappointing Ted, was going to see it tonight, better idea is to stay home and get hammered after long week!
Quoted from iceman44:better idea is to stay home and get hammered after long week!
True. Staying home and getting hammered after a Short week, here!

Or get hammered and go see the movie! Even if it sucks you won't remember the boring half.
Anyone see the new Facebook post from American Pinball talking about what a great guy JPOP is and promising everyone their MGs?
Quoted from TecumsehPlissken:I wonder when & where that pic was taken?
The statement says the pics reflect their progress.
Quoted from Rascal_H:"By the end of 2016, Magic Girl machines will be delivered to their rightful owners."
Wow! Props to American Pinball if they pull that off.

What a crock of shit!!!! it's unbelievable that this kind of blatant bullshit is allowed on Pinside. Robin states that political discussion is not allowed but this shit is tolerated by a damn criminal, liar and thief!!???

F#ck u Jpoop ad f#ck u American Pinball for associating with this a-hole/theif/criminal!!!

The best part is...that's Zombie Yeti's work. What did JPOP actually do on these as we see them?
Quoted from Baiter:Wow! Props to American Pinball if they pull that off.
I sure hope that comes to fruition. They had to have known Houdini would be dead in the water unless the prior customers were taken care of. This will be interesting to watch unfold in the coming months.

Not sure how economical it would be to construct dozens of "empty" cabinets without the intention of actually filling them with a game. Not saying they'll have it done by the end of 2016 (I'll bet not). But they said the pictures are to illustrate progress and they do just that.
Quoted from Baiter:Wow! Props to American Pinball if they pull that off.
NO!! no props to American Pinball if they pull it off!!!! It's not going to happen, it's lies on top of lies on top of lies. Jeeze, does anyone believe this pack of liars????!!!!

Your limited run of 26 will now be open ended. Better than not getting the pin you paid for though, hope it works out for the original buyers.
Fuck JPOP.
