It’s called still “living rent free” in your heads.

No - we were simply calling the bullshit out but you call it 'rooting for failure'... all while you make statements calling it a joke that people saw through it from the start??

Your lying and distortion of reality knows no limits.

Well let’s see, as if it matters but try and comprehend this:

1). Jpop got 25 MG games done through AP and delivered to people like Little Kimmy

2). DR spent $57 million, facility, cabs, pfs, materials, machines, parts, experience was all there. Didn’t happen.

One could surmise that it was POSSIBLE that a pin, one pin could be generated based on the above.

To say “people saw through it from the start” is a complete crock of shit. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you somehow feel better.

From the beginning, I was the one who questioned Bobby based on his history and was threatened by attorney for it. Right there in the thread if you want to take a peak.

Comprende?

And as per usual, leaving out the inconvenient facts again. Benny Heck would tell you right now he was begging for failure. He hates John and DR as a result.

Finally, there is no one more full of shit than you Flynnie. Congrats

How about we leave it at this for you fellas.

I genuinely dislike you personally and a handful of others here. Can’t like or get along with everybody now can we? And just don’t care what the intolerant mini mob thinks about me either. So knock yourselves out, you are wasting your breath.

POTW!

My cat hates all of you and think you are all a bunch of dorks.

I've bounced in and out, did Yelobird ever show up?

IBTL

Here for the fireworks and #paytheboob

this thread pretty much explains why someone would leave. Bunch o grumpy old dudes that don’t care for each other arguing. Bet yelobird is happier now!

Ok. So it was Alien. Not Raza. I trying to remember who exactly that was... as it's been years.
No need to get bent out of shape over me asking a question.

I’m laughing about that experience when I wrote that. Another fond memory and fun time . Seriously

Shows over now.

I have this on laserdisc.

.

Except he is running a pinball related business and should be on the largest pinball forum.
It is very possible to be professional and ignore the bull shit. Spooky does a great job of this.
If he was here, he could of responded to this thread in a few posts and it would not gotten wildly out of hand.

This is a strange statement to me. You paid for a game, didn't get it, yet when you had a chance to get your money back it "didn't seem right"?

You said from the beginning you were wary of deeproot, but you rolled the dice, again, anyway...instead of cashing out.

Just seems odd.

UPDATE...NOW RESOLVED

There is a Pingraffix thread that started out a lot like this one. However, the owner posted why he was late sending items and not contacting people. Well, there is a reason that thread is so much shorter and pretty much dead. Joe settled it publicly.

Let me explain it this way. #1. If I really needed the $$ I would have def taken it. Basically wanted to see it through to the end

#2. I was posting the SEC disclosures of how much money they were raising each year and from whom.

It would have come from “investor pockets” and NOT Bobby himself. As an Investment Advisor myself I would have not wanted to see $$$ going out the door like that.

Nobody knew how the funds were being allocated except Bobby. At the end of the day it always surprises me how these guys think they can get away with these massive Ponzi schemes. American Greed.

So it was a personal thing. I had already written it off and if I ended up getting a game like they did on MG then great.

Want some more drama on these types of things. Google attorney Christopher Petit from San Antonio and see what just happened. Have know that guy since the 90’s. His Ponzi scheme just crashed.

Geezuz, when do you guys ever find time to enjoy pinball? This is exhausting.

In between pee-pee measuring contests…. When else are you supposed to be enjoying pinball? With friends? Crazy talk right there.

I still have no idea to this very day what the hell is deep root !!??
Is it a mod ?

Maybe they are just busy working on toys for the 100k whale machine.

In Australian parlance, 'root' is an impolite but very commonly used term meaning "to have sex".

'Deep Root' - well I don't need to explain that I'm sure!

Knowing this puts a different spin on the common American term "I'm rooting for you" - really, the bedroom is over there then - let's go!!!

According to some of our friends down under, “deep root” means to get fucked. Like really
Fucked.

So I think that’s your answer.

Never heard that one. It doesn't mean anything here except the root that was already explained.

That's how people get nicknamed Wombat here. he eat's roots and leaves.

I've been tracking the up-down vote ratio to my comments in this thread. I'm pretty happy.

I get most excited by downvotes. I want to know who and imagine why - unless it's from dingleberry, because that's just what he does, so I know the why. I do miss my downs from ding.

I have a dingleberry fan club. He makes a crowd of one but he's consistent.

What happened to him? One day he was merrily downvoting my posts as usual, and then one April day in 2021...nothing. Hasn't been on in over a year.

Mine is still here. We must have different dingleberrys.
Lol

Weird. I only see two dingle pinsiders: dingleberry and dingle_boys, and dingleberry is MIA.

Pinmonk….wanted to say I’m sorry if I got too caught up with our back and forth. I know you had nothing but good intentions.

The one you carry around in your pants?

The most popular guy on Pinside. Same crowd. I guess you gotta love yourself if nobody else does. Lol.

Vodka sodas? What’s the drink of the day?

I have an extraordinary thick skin from years of publishing video games and hearing everyone's grievances, no matter how petty, so no worries. If I was really put out I wouldn't have seen this.

Well you make a great product Monk so I like your attitude.

And I have a secret man crush on Little Kimmy.

PinMonk,

You have also been one hell of an asset to this community. And I'm not talking about your mods or the products you make and sell. I'm talking about how helpful you have been, and are, with the entire community. Time and time again, I see you all over Pinside helping people with excellent advice and not expecting anything in return. Sometimes I think you don't get all the credit and recognition that you deserve.

You and I had a run-in a long time ago that I thought was unfair and unjust to me. It was easy for me to move past it seeing all of the good that you do.
And shit happens...

Carry on my friend

Well, thanks. Wasn't expecting that. The problem I have is I am extremely helpful by nature, but I have a threadbare filter between my brain and mouth, so I will bluntly say what some people would not. My family is used to it, the general public is often wholly unprepared. It's more blunt than abusive, but it can be a shock.

I don't remember our run-in, so I have no idea what it was about, but I was probably wearing my black T-shirt with bold white "UNFAIR" on the front and "UNJUST" on the back. The outcome was therefore a foregone conclusion.

Thanks again for the unsolicited nice post!

Lol. Pull the stick out of ….

Of course you had a “run in”. Don’t fall for the head fake. He’s trolling for “upvotes”.

I love you too Pin Monk. Seriously, those fans have saved my ass! I love you more than Kimmy.

Please upvote this post. I have purchased a lot of you fans and other stuff! I’m begging you. I’ll keep buying if you do. My ratio in this thread is F Ed right now because of the usual hand full of that type

There should be a support group for us blunt people.

Wouldn't work i spose, we'd just tell the tree hugging feelgood hippies to fuck off and save some fragile people.

My friends call me blunt.

See, I don't even categorize people. I just say what needs to be said to whoever. I don't TRY to be offensive, but sometimes I do offend. I'd like to think that's somewhat rare, but it's just the world according to me and sometimes there's a perspective clash that results in sparks.

Keeping this on topic... @yelobird's a good guy. 18 years on here and he's helped plenty of people, too.

Come on Pin Monk. Give it to me. This post!

One time. Need the stats

Are there “stats” that I’m unaware of on Pinside??

Kimmy tracks them. Insecurity issues ?
