    Quoted from drsfmd:

    I've played a bunch of recent Stern titles, and I've found them all to be lacking. Good for a couple of games in an arcade, but certainly nothing I'd want to own.
    That said, Stern has the capacity to build in volume, and a reasonably good track record of reliability. Should the continue down the path they have started with the Medieval Madness remake, and stick to reproducing classic titles for a while? It might enable them to generate more revenue to hire some new designers for future original titles.

    If making lots of money, hiring new people and kicking out new pins every four months is bad then, yes, they definitely need a new model.

    On a serious note Keith Elwin posted earnings from tron and ACDC on route, they made over 12k each. I didn't think you could earn that much routing pins these days.

    Quoted from drsfmd:

    Rush... just can't stand them. Pretentious prog rock with mediocre songwriting and musicians who aren't nearly as good as the people who like them think they are.

    The fact that you don't like them is cool because it's your opinion. Now, as musicians Geddy and Neil are excellent musicians and Alex is very good. If you're just saying they aren't that good to troll, enjoy. If not you you really have no concept of what a good musician is.

    Quoted from drsfmd:

    Second rate and decidedly mediocre. Maybe the best Canada has produced, but that's about as good as being the second fattest girl at the prom.

    Ok, trolling. Enjoy =)
