Quick question for you Predator guys...
Is there a waiting list a guy can get on to get one of these machines?
If so how do i get on it?
Ok i got an email back from Kevin today I'm officially on the wait list 
By the way one of my fave sound bites from the movie was when the predator was imitating Mac
On this video at 1 min 25 seconds I always liked it

Quoted from SkitBPinball:Predator related: Deadline for holding deposits has been set for March 15th.
What does the deadline mean?
I'm in #31 "gunna have me some fun"

Quoted from Half_Life:Woo hoo! Got the email from Kevin! I'm in (almost broke the keyboard getting the deposit done quickly). Don't know my numbers yet; no matter though as I made is through gauntlet.
Same here... Very exciting
I went and watched all the update videos again last night.
The DMD animations look cool as hell.

Quoted from Tweedlefuzz:I also heard a ton of updates as James was there too! Art updates... the skull being one of them.
Don't want to spoil any surprises as they said the update was in a few days.
#105
Quoted from Tweedlefuzz:Fine, I will share the art updates I heard then:
Skull going back to "white with blood n' stuff"... that's a a quote
Arnold is getting lowered
The blue is getting changed
Yea baby yea 
Quoted from blondetall:Arnold usually has 'boobs.'.
BlondeTall us guy call those pecs
Quoted from SkitBPinball:Predator is one of those movies where you very rarely catch the beginning because you always find it on cable already in progress and just go from there
I bought the DVD
Quoted from mrpostman:How about a UV nugget?
+1 on this type of Nugget
Ok so I have made my original deposit on my game a while back ($250)
Now do I need to make another $250 deposit minimum (level 1) Or is this optional at this time?
OT:
Drano,
What's the status on BHZA I have been on the waiting list for that game for a while
Did JPOP call in the next progress payment yet?

Quoted from kvan99:I have a couple of questions: are the ramps going to have El wire? Why is there a wide shoulder on them? Second question is not reallyu question but rather a comment, with the art on the PF I think wireform would have been better; not just for longevity but it covers less art on the pf..hopefully the ramps will be more transparent and narrower, otherwise it looks very good.
Wireform Would be awsome
Quoted from starbase:OMG thanks DRANO!!!!!!!
I really needed to see that pic badly. Now I feel like yeah, this game is together nicely. I would pay extra for metal ramps. The plastic ones just look so bulky, hope this gets tweaked in someway.
Happy!
+1-------> I would pay extra for metal ramps!!
Not that interesting, but I don't own a pin. Where I live, I only have room for one. After I was confimed on the list, I told my girlfriend of 4 years about it. Even after explaining that having my name down cost no money, I would be well back in the order, and basically there was no commitment, surprisingly she was still not pleased.
After a lenghty talk, we came down to the real reason of her troubles. Whenever the talk of marriage came up, my simple answer was "I don't have the money." Another surprise is that moving across the country with someone, and explaining that you are definitely going to marry them at some point, is not the same as being married to a woman.
Her airtight logic was that if I have $5 grand for a pin, how do I not have any money to buy a ring. Needless to say, I sympathized with that logic, but she also understands that as long as rent, utilities, and other affairs are in order, I am free to do what I wish with the money I earn. My logic is also astoundingly airtight, as I clearly come out the victor on both ends. Though not necessarily a compromise, we are now engaged, and we (I) are anxiously awaiting the machine entitled:
Predator
Might I suggest this for an engagement ring????
Quoted from blondetall:Not a cop, just a lowly moderator. I got promoted on Monday morning and have been flying under the radar a little bit. So I am a tall, blonde moderator that likes pinball
Let me get this straight
1. Blonde
2. Tall
3. Likes pinball
Nice!
Ps. How does the bump to moderator work? Did you get an email asking you to do it?
Is there a ceremony? Trumpets? A uniform? 
seriously though Im Curious how it happens?
No trumpets or uniforms, but i should see if I can incorporate a secret handshake so we at least have something cool going on.
I woke up Monday morning and had an email from Robin asking if I would like to join the team. I said yes, and by the time I got to work, my title had changed to moderator. Kind of exciting to me but really not that great of a story. It took 1 day and 8 hours for anyone to notice, and even now I dont think most know or care. I did close a thread today so that got a little attention. Those who do notice have replied with "congrats?" or "yay?" as if they arent sure if it is a good thing. So far, nobody has told me off or sent me hate mail, so thats good.
Well I am guessing Robin will be approaching me any day to become a Moderator
So I just want it to be know that I will need some type of uniform
Quoted from kvan99:Well folks, I'm sorry to say but I have to drop out...I'm #140 so it will become available soon, I sent Kevin an email and requested to be dropped. I really enjoyed being part of this group, I will remain a big fan of Skidb and Predator....Hope someone else picks up this spot ASAP before I change my mind.
Kam
Bummer! Why not wait to see how the game
Comes together and we see a finished Prototype
Before making your decision?

Quoted from frolic:We're getting the benefit of "slave labor" on this one. The boys won't be fairly compensated for all their hours.
I was just gunna say the Team could probably make more money working in a sweat shop
In a third world country... Lucky for us they love pinball

At this point i am most excited about the UV paint and how it will look.
Skit B insert demo video below please
Holy smokes FT! Are you there? Post more pics please
Ok so I failed you guys... I got to the show yesterday and Predator was down.
Kevin came by and fixed something and then quickly tested the game
(that's him playing in the video)
Then I jumped on it and racked up about 1.5 bil points my third ball got stuck and Kevin was gone
So I was unable to get any more video. It was late day so Kevin was getting ready for his seminar.
Sorry for the lack of video guys
Hopefully someone gets a decent video today.

Quoted from herbertbsharp:Did you get your $250 back?
I ended up dropping out about a month ago (too many irons in the fire) Kevin was super cool about it and immediately refunded my $250.00 He didnt even hold back pay pal fee's which i was expecting him to (and would of been more than fair)
Skit B Team is Top Shelf!

Quoted from MagicMako:Soo what happened today? They couldnt get the game working? (wth, what a nightmare for them). Was anyone at their panel? What was discussed? I honestly thought so many questions would be answered by now, like how close we are to building, what the UV art looks like, whether the playfield is complete or not? What happened to Matt's full size skull and spine? Im sure Kev will make his return on here eventually and square everything away.
edit - Oh yes, I wanted to thank all of those that posted pictures and vids of what they have seen, it is much appreciated.
A bit of info here...

Quoted from Ed_in_Texas:You're kidding right?
No Kiddin I'm in Oregon Tacoma is the only pin expo I have ever been able to go to.
Quoted from BackAlleyMatt:I know it's not a video of the game but on the plus side parts are just about all done.
All 250 bodies, skulls, spines and claws are all casted, deflashed and sanded. Now on to a huge bloody paint job
Mateo es El Demonio que hace trofeos de los hombres?
