If this game is legit, plays well and is not vapor ware, they will sell a shit ton at $7k.

Yeah well I was just capturing things in a nutshell; hence my comment not vaporware.

Wrong, lol. No hysteria. Fact.

He prattled on and on about understanding he needed his own "rug" moment, ala big lebowski.

Whatever, friend. It's documented. Troll away if you must.

It was a shit show. There's a reason they are redesigning the cabinet and didn't bring it. It's the same reason they brought on Joe to "clean up " jpop's work and making a clear line in the sand between American and zidware.

I agree. But that's what they're doing. I think this is a lawyered up posture

Not sure if serious, but no, not him.

They were quick to point out it was a barter. Houdini for magic girl completion, lol.

The long is short of it is it is abundantly clear why they all of a sudden elected to distance themselves from vidware ip and cabinet design. They thought they would slide in, use jpop ip, complete magic girl and all would be good. There is a reason they abandoned those plans.

Here's your answer:

They couldn't bring it because they couldn't use the patented cabinet. They spun it as they want their own identity with their own cabinet but they're not fooling people why the about face in a 3 week span.

Joe specifically said it was 75% done or he wouldn't sign on based on the commitment of shipping games in 6 months.

You're quoting the wrong Dude. I don't believe that one bit. I was correcting someone who was trying to give AP wiggle room by saying what he "thought" Joe meant.

I am curious what the secret is behind the artist for Houdini. AP was asked pointblank twice in the seminar and I heard Dennis Nordman ask again in the oak room who was the artist. They declined all three times saying only it's someone who never did the art for pinball but has been around the industry. They flaunt using zidware ip but the artist is a no go. LOL

No quid pro quo. Ap specifically said it was a barter arraignment, Houdini for magic girl.

Yeah I flubbed the definition. As much as it's in the news; I should know better. I attribute it to surfing while in a meeting. Thank god we got this sorted out.

Thanks for posting but just to be clear so everyone hear listening is aware, that's not the full seminar. There seems to be parts/questions missing.

No worries. I just didn't want people thinking we were making up some of the stuff we said we heard in the seminar.
