Are those Wranglers?!?

Relax everyone, it's just a TNA retheme.

If you dismiss this show due to crude humor, fine, your loss. It's just window dressing. Come for the one-liners, stay for the actually very good science fiction storylines. I don't mean like Marvel sci-fi with racoons & trees fighting. I mean twisted old-school literary sci-fi that explores the logical end & ramifications of reality-altering technology.

Like, what would happen if you had a device that could create a being whose only desire is to complete one task for you, no matter the cost, or mental strain on the being itself. And what would happen if the being got ahold of the device.

That's too bad. Stern eventually learned that they were undercharging. Flippers were cashing in on the consumer surplus (google it). Now Stern keeps all the profit for their hard work, not some guy scalping cardboard boxes at a $1k upcharge. I'd rather that money go to Spooky and its employees.

You need to a be fang club member to get an early game, period. Then decide whether you want to buy it direct from Spooky or a distributor.

I mean, Stern did Walking Dead, a show which features at least one gruesome zombie or human death per episode, where they use every swear except the F and C words. The match sequence is a zombie digging through a pile of intestines. Stern also did Metallica of JACK-FUCKING-POT fame. They included "this man has no dick" in a Ghostbusters mode start callout. Dunno where people got the idea that Stern is some pearl-clutching G-rated company.

And I'm sure Spooky won't include all of the super vulgar R&M content, as much as some people apparently want that. Most of the show's humor and sci-fi appeal isn't that vulgar. It's just easy to cherry-pick that stuff and post it.

Sigh.

Outlane spinners.

edit: shit! Odin beat me to the punch... line.

I've never watched the Sopranos, CSI, 24, Game of Thrones, NASCAR, Elvira's show, and I'm pretty sure I've never sat through an entire episode of the Munsters or Wheel of Fortune. It's a wonder I can stand to play pinball at all.

Yeah Morty I can't wait to find a thousand *BURRRP* posts about the Game of Thrones battering ram when I search for RAM, jeez Morty, it's like *BURRRP* you've never heard the word "ram" before, you really are your father's son aren't you Morty?

Stranger Things, kind of old news. It's already run the full mainstream hype cycle. Three of four seasons are complete. The kids are going to be shaving by the time season four airs. I love the show, but it's run its course.

Rick & Morty is just on the cusp of transitioning from cult show to mainstream hit. As evidenced by this thread, a large portion of (non-young) people had literally never heard of it. It already seems huge to those in-the-know, and will only get bigger over the next 70 episodes. Only a third of the total episodes have aired. And there's already ten times as much material as you can cram into one game. Perfect timing by Spooky.

Wow man, that's next level pedantic. How about this mind-twister: cable shows don't actually air, because they don't come over the air! But if I stream Netflix on my iPad, Stranger Things is airing.

"Who cares," you might say. And you'd be right.

Funny you should mention specifically those two. Some pin friends and I had a movie night like 15 years ago to watch both of them.

You aren't missing much.

You don’t need to know yet. You just want to. Be patient.

Page Down key like a mofo through all the ordering insanity pages.

I count at least two dozen. Make it happen!

Distributors might know which batch(es) they're in.

Mod community will take care of that before half of the games ship.

It's aimed slightly to the right, not dead center.

I enjoy reverse flippers in the proper context, and with a generous ball save when they transition back. "Done to death" is a bit of an overstatement. How many games have ever done it? I can think of three. Four if you count Cactus Canyon Continued.

If I was Charlie I’d lose my fucking mind reading all this crap.

Everyone trying to read the tea leaves of their order number reminds of Get Schwifty, where people misinterpret the Cromulons and form a cult based on random weather phenomena.

I wish Spooky would just cancel that guy’s order so he can have his life back.

Wonka is a better fit for some of you guys.

If you want a good laugh, read that guy’s first post in this thread:

Some people are truly impossible to please, and determined to be upset somehow.

Liar! You’re almost as bad as those scumbags over at Spooky.

Imagine if he tried.

Light sensor in place of launch button, must aim portal gun at sensor?

but their R no toyz!

Had to bust out my old shirt in honor of this thread.

Batman '66 ruined the meme single-handedly.

Only mistake Scott made is not calling it the Wubba Lubba Dub Club. I'm gonna burn my shirt!

He just doesn't like 'em. I don't get it either, but give the guy a break. Never seen so much vitriol for a guy saying "no interest in animated TV, but I'm buying the game anyway to route it." Most guys are like "I don't like theme X, I'm OUT!"

Troy is a good guy and a constant contributor to the hobby.

Is there any artform you don't enjoy? Jazz fusion, pottery, interpretive dance? I guess you like it all, renaissance man. Troy doesn't like animation. I humbly suggest you get over it.

I was referring to multiple people, but this part of your post was a bit more incendiary:

For those watching the archived stream, I HIGHLY recommend fast forwarding 30 minutes. The first half of that show is the most inane garbage imaginable. Unless you've ever wanted to watch other people watch TMZ and google random shit.

Bowen, Charlie & Bug did a great job.

"Confusion" wasn't exactly my reaction. I enjoy Wonder Showzen, Tim & Eric, Superjail, the Eric Andre show, Too Many Cooks, etc. But I know the difference between weird and bad.

Pinball segment was enjoyable for obvious reasons, but would you watch another episode without a gun to your head?

I only downvoted you for signing your post THE BOSS HOG like anyone gives a shit.

I always thought a club thread should be unlocked when the first pinsider can post a photo of the game in their possession. Until then it's a club with zero members.

KT did.

That's what KT posted.

Duly noted.

Oh, you want that? Lol, get real.

Listen, we understand that your ass is chapped because you got one of the bad TNA playfields, didn't get a brand-new game shipped to the UK to replace it, and that nothing short of that will ever make it 100% right in your eyes. What numbers can KT give you that will possibly make you feel better? Would an itemized list of every single TNA affected help you sleep at night?

Aren't you like, loaded or something? You hit the life lottery. Boo-hoo one of my rich boy toys isn't perfect, get the fuck over it. At this point your time is far more limited than your money. Why not spend it on something constructive?

I'm sure when Spooky starts making GM or Apple money they'll invest in a similar database.

Bingo.

Lol, like we have a choice. Hell hath no fury like a boomer scorned.

Wow.

Thankfully you don't have to understand it. All you have to do is buy a game from Spooky or a distributor and let them handle business end of things.

Indeed.

There's a funny story behind why Stern didn't get R&M, but it's not mine to tell.

YEAH I'M GONNA BE THAT GUY.

I was up all night for work. Delirium set in.

I was kinda hoping for one in the quick turn-around shot that feeds the upper flipper. That area looks a little barren (mostly due to art choices out of Spooky's control) and it wouldn't hurt to take a little velocity off the ball anyway when feeding the upper flipper. Spinner would give that shot more of a unique feel/purpose. Might not be room to mount one there anyway, and of course the game is done & shipped. Just armchair designing. (sorry Scott!)
