Quoted from erak:

Please everyone, drain this post. We all know Kaneda will be reading this thread. Drain it and move on. Don't give this a hole the time of day or satisfaction of reading reactions to this post.
Or mods, delete it entirely and someone start a real thread. Ignoring all false "Kaneda" information.

Quoted from vdojaq:

Actually I have to disagree, I have been the lucky recipient of his personal emails in the past. He is a sniveling, narcissistic little prick. A total douche bad in the highest form. He should do PR for JPop and this so called American Pinball, they all deserve each other. Peas in a pod. He should pack up that Hellcat and his TMNT jammies and move on in with JPop.

Quoted from flynnibus:

The real-life PR guy failing the fake account gig by posting Facebook photos from his own Facebook feed has been the best part of this entire fiasco.
He tries so hardto make fake accounts, even faking it on his podcast and fails in such an amauter way is comedy gold. It's as bad as the mirror photo fails

Quoted from flynnibus:

He creates fake accounts on here... Rickthorn. Gets called out immediately... Denies it. Even has the fake account calls kaneda names and curses at him (yeah, screw that guy!! Kind of stuff). Even tries to suck himself off with "knows how to write a press release"

No one is buying it. Denies the fake accounts on his podcast (so I'm told). Then the rick fake account posts photos of American pinballs Facebook feed... Forgetting that the web version of Facebook shows your avatar next to the new comment field of posts.

Epic fail completely busting himself. It's all right here in this thread for your train wreck of entertainment. And yet some people still think he is some victim... *smdh*

Quoted from flynnibus:

Openly stated after he failed... Again. It's like "oh I meant to get caught" kind of comebacks. Or "I just love screwing with you guys" kind of stuff. No, the guy has serious emotional issues where he needs attention and will go to great lengths to try to make himself relevant and the topic of discussion. And cheerleaders like you just feed that deep problem he has. You are always there to fill in and help pump him when he can't do it himself. You must have had one hell of an invite to his apartment.
Some people just need to go away. It's not even a challenge sniffing his bs out. The guy just needs to find another hobby to try to impress. Has he not been thrown out of the comic/anime circles yet? Maybe he can get into vintage clothing or something...

Quoted from Taxman:

Look at the pictures Rascal posted for Chris. The heads line up but the coin door areas are not right in an attempt to make them look different.
A couple of spots seriously bad.

Quoted from MinusWorlds:

I've always liked you Kevin and we've done a couple pin deals, but I seriously don't understand why you defend Chris. You're such a good dude, why associate with him? It seems off.

Quoted from pinlink:

Can't understand why this kaneda account has not been frozen yet.

Quoted from MinusWorlds:

Welp, don't shoot the messenger of the messenger, but here's what we have. It's real, sort of. Here's a pic of Tim (Cornelius) with the flyer. He was not allowed to take up close photos. The pics he has will be on Pinballnews.com tomorrow. From what he told me and the points on the flyer, here's what I have.
- Not a Magic Girl retheme
- LCD is underneath the glass but bigger than CV's DMD
- MSRP $6,995
- LED's
- Full Backglass
- Custom Stainless Trim
- Bunch of toys
It DOES NOT flip. He said it's gorgeous. Sound like MG?
So I guess the short is nothing to get super excited about. The MG, RAZA and AIW folks still need to be made whole for American Pinball to be successful. Period. Sorry I don't have more. I did my best.

Quoted from Nelly:

Welcome to the party! You're about 135 posts too late.

Quoted from Drenden:

I really hope this is fake. If not, having jpop design a machine is a kick in the groin to every person he swindled. This is abhorrent.

Quoted from flynnibus:

Don't you have a podcast to go listen to?

Quoted from Taxman:

Most people please skip this post by me. Apologies ahead of time for taking the drama bait. But I'm having a beer watching the vice pres debates (boxing match) and I see my name mentioned.

Wow, bringing me up out of nowhere? OK, I'll bite-
1) You have never talked to me.
2) I said you were trolling the thread with no intentions of buying and insinuated the means. (granted, being a bit mean, not too cool)
3) You were bringing up a different game than the thread was discussing. You included me since you wanted give me a dig (also not cool)
4) The thread started by your blocked and banned buddy so you cause unnecessary controversy since he can't (also not cool)
5) Sorry I got under your skin so much you need to obsess like your buddy. But he thrived on this and now you want to continue the legacy. (transparent)
Now, do you want to continue with a normal conversation or am I going to continue to be an irritant to you because I exist? Most on this thread want to talk about Houdini. Mostly speculation but a mix of excitement and doubt, warranted.
If I'm wrong about you trolling this thread perhaps you can explain a temporary thread eject and then when that was up you come right back with wonderful contributing posts. Let's review some wonderful contributions to this thread alone -

Let's always remember your honesty when you said -

Sorry everyone, I know we all hate when this garbage crops up. It is why it has been so much nicer without these days.

Quoted from iceman44:

You and your brother Kaneda need to give it up

Quoted from iceman44:

Ok, coming from that piss ant state of Mass, that's funny!
5 times the population and 12th largest economy in the world. And MUCH nicer people.

Quoted from Mitch:

Are you really that dumb and stubborn that you can't see ap was the biggest flop at expo.
F#$king troll.
