He sums it up pretty well about JJP and what they are doing. This is such an exciting time to be in this hobby!

"I'm going to be doing an original theme and pinball machine for JJP. Its very exciting to be able to work with JJP and one of the reasons that I'm excited to be doing that is JJP has redefined the limits of pinball. They have changed the technology, they have made the games bigger, bolder, brighter and its going to be a wonderful experience and challenge building an original game with them..."

Awesome news! Glad to hear that Pat is back!

Well. The background music was pretty epic.

Cool to see an original theme though, looking forward to it.

lol, Stern's marketing team has their designers on camera, professionally lit, saying their lines while looking straight into the camera, and looking excited to be there. So ... no, I don't think so.

Nah, man. They are Libyan nationalists. They wanted Jack and Pat to make bombs with their plutonium. They are actually going to go back in time to buy up all of the "A" list pins and come back flipping them.

No theoretical limit, but these guys aren't getting any younger. I suppose at the rate JJP ships games there would be no concerns about them having to deliver too many times each day.

Why would it be any less? In fact, I'd be absolutely shocked if it were any cheaper than $9k. (Especially after its been proven that $8k is easy to get on the mere announcement of a new machine -- whether it actually exists or not.)

Its been more than a couple days since $8k became the standard, so surely it's time to test the boundaries again and see how far pinheads will go.

I thought this Pro-Pinball intro with Pat was a really clever way of handling an announcement - too bad that incarnation of the Kickstarter failed.

Pat shows up at about the 2-min mark. Youssi does a drive-by too (literally).
