My God, you're right. I'm resigning on Monday; I've wasted my life. Thanks for opening my eyes!

If you want a reason why we don't post here that often, this post is a pretty damn good example. If I go on an interview and say something, I'm saying it for a reason, and it's not to BS the entire community. Last time I talked about this, I htink, was on Buffalo Pinball and it was all legit. But let's go over it anyway.

This paragraph is riddled with problems. What evidence do you have that the narrative is false? Do you really think the investors had NO FUCKING CLUE what the game cost as it was going down the line? Believe me, they are very in-tune with what's going on around here, as well they should be.

Why would it sound terrible to the community? "Oh no, JJP isn't making enough profit, I'm practically stealing this game from them!" Sounds like they got a hell of a deal in that case, not sure why they would care.

Yes, it picked up when everyone realized that was the end of the run.

As I explained on Buffalo Pinball, in manufacturing we have these things called lead times. That's how long it takes from when you order parts to when it's available for you to build games. This time can be anywhere from 3-12 weeks. This is true for every manufacturer. So, when the line is getting near the end of what they need to build, the decision of what to do next has to be made in time for you not to get shut down by lead time issues. For those number of weeks prior to the end of the line, there was DEFINITELY no interest to warrant ordering more POTC parts. So, the decision was made to move to WW, where we know we'll move a large number just because it's a new game, it's a good theme, and we think it's a good game.

So for those weeks after we made the decision, yes, demand went up greatly. It's too bad it wasn't sooner, because more would've been made then, but A) you can't make up your mind when you run out of parts, you have to plan and B) you can't assume demand is going to skyrocket and be stuck with a bunch of parts that don't turn into games.

OK Doomer. Fell free to keep ignoring me!

The beatles version of twist and shout (1963) is actually a cover of the Isley brothers from 1962. What I didn't know until just now is that technically was itself a cover of the top notes from 1961. Odds are you've only ever heard the Isley brothers or the beatles though.

I thought the beatles version came a few years later, not just the year after.

Also a Wolverine.

"Red Dawn confirmed!!!11!!"

Fun fact, DD almost didn't happen because of Red Dawn. She hated working with Swayze.

Relax, it was just a peaceful protest.

I don't believe anyone has figured out our scheme yet. And, as suspected, all light shows were hand choreographed to the music.

In the form of a pinside donation is fine.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

Let it be known, on this 20th day of October in the year 2020, that despite any posturing one way or the other on the part of @smalltownguy2, he has come through with full payment of his obligation and any accusations of welching or otherwise not being a man of his word related to this matter should be henceforth dismissed with prejudice.

(Any proof that it was from him omitted for privacy reasons, but take me at my word it was from him.)

You da man.
