Stuff like this really cracks me up.

I don't know Gary, but I really don't like him, don't want to ever know him either. But dammit, he should be worried about my concerns.

Some of you act like Gary has personally done something to you. He's nothing more then a figurehead at this point that still loves pinball and will gladly make time for anyone at shows. Take him a good DIPA from your area that he can't get and he's your friend for life.

But but but, my grail, my dream theme...………….

Gary is fun to talk to at shows, seems like a good enough dude that has found a way to make pinball last as a business when no one else could. If you need anything he points you to Gomez though as he doesn't know anything about the games other then it's selling great or not.

Gary is doing nothing but repeating old speaches and trying to keep operators and collectors happy at the same time. What do you think every premium and LE game is? They are specifically for the collector side of the hobby. If you want to know anything about a game other then it's fun Gary is going to point you to Gomez or whoever else in the booth knows about the actual games. Maybe Jack should spend a few days with Gary and Gomez as his company has been nothing short of a disaster. He had to give up controlling interests just to get TH made. Even now you can preorder for your game in 12 months or so and spend a week trouble shooting it so it works right. I own JJP games, I love them, JJP has a long way to go though. If any of them make a game I like I'll buy it if it's in a box and ready to ship to me. I sure don't take their pricing or game choices personal though.

There's also not enough alcohol content in an IPA for Gary, DIPA all the way.

Some places online will call any ipa with and ABV over 7 an imperial IPA. This is old language for the most part.

Most IPA can go up to close to 7.4 ABV. Depending on the style if may be bitter or it may be almost sweet tasting. DIPA (double IPA) is typically 7.4 to 8.5 ABV but can go a little higher. Once again depending on style they may be bitter but typically DIPA's are sweeter then regular IPA's which is not what people would expect. The next step will depend on the area and also the style used but Triple or Imperial are higher ABV then a DIPA and are usually 10% ABV or sometimes a touch higher. They tend to have a similar hop profiles to a DIPA but with more bitterness, a little malt backbone, and are much heavier. Different breweries can have beers in ABV ranges outside of this criteria that they label as an IPA, DIPA, TIPA, IIPA, or ever FIPA (farmhouse) so while usually the ABV sets the guideline stile of beer and brewing process can also have input.

If you can get Trillium in your area they have fantastic IPA's and DIPA's. I'd recommend going New England style which are juicier and sweeter. They are hazy and unfiltered though so just be away of that. They have almost no malt and really feature the different hop profiles the best for what I like.

That article is from 2009. You can thumbs down all you want but the criteria is different now.

What do you not like about it? I thought overall it looked really good. Pretty standard layout but both ramp returns are super unique. Most elaborate lower playfield in some time. Great art and if you dont like lower playfields the pro is perfect.

I wish the Herman sculpt did more but other then that I was pretty pleased with what I saw.

All true, but pretty much across the board the same terminology is being adopted based on ABV and style. No one is calling a 7.4 ipa an imperial. At least not that I've seen in over 10 years.
