While I don’t think Firefly is in a genre that Spooky would be stereotyped to, their appreciation of cult classic type of shows and movies would link up perfectly.

Zombieland could be a great pin, and not even because of the zombie genre. As funny as this statement seems because of the title of the movie, but they aren’t even all that important. It’s funny, and the characters develop as the story goes. They kill Bill freaking Murray after he survives a mass zombie infection.

Do all the doom and gloom stuff, but pick up on the humor and character relationships. You know, everything Stranger Things whiffed at.

Also, really enjoy your level of participation in this thread Ben. Miss your podcast...

“I know what to do way more than you do Chuck. I’ll take this puny operation of yours to the big time, just need the keys.”

I can’t even imagine how direct or foolish any conversation was phrased if this was during the Blowhard Bobby days. Pinball is easy...

He did make an entire joke thread about getting away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling...

Where’d everybody go? Too busy hitting refresh of Facebook?

Problem right now is not even Stern can keep up with demand for new games. Mando was delayed several weeks from their normal schedule and they revealed it with plenty of backlog.

Wasn’t RNM #740 for sale here recently? Said they were expecting the call to decide on options soon, which means built soon. Spooky is going to run out of RNM to build any day now and if they don’t announce soon are going to have the opportunity to be building them and announce with several in the box ready to ship.

benheck have you discussed what frameworks/languages your new board will run?

Cool. I “know” MPF (man I’m such a poser), and like the FAST group, but wouldn’t mind trying another board. If nothing else than the fun of having something new to hold and admire.

What you pointed out was exactly what I was going to say. Just because they have 2 lines does not mean they are releasing two games. Charlie has said that he doesn’t really like having some customers wait 18 months to get their games. With 2 lines maybe they can do 1,000 games over 9-12 months

When people throw out “two games at the same time” because Spooky has 2 lines they aren’t accounting for the need for 2 designers to iterate their layouts, 2 programmers (or teams) to do the software, and two different sets of line workers trained for their specific game. Plus, in the current era your supply chain manager will be trying to source more line items but in smaller quantities. If you build one game on two lines you source more QTY of fewer line items.

Long term I think Spooky could do it if they wanted, but why? Have a game in development while another game is on the line, and cycle the new one in when the current one is done. Repeat.

Had I done it you wouldn’t have even gotten a rotated poster.

Guess I missed/misunderstood that part. I don’t really care if two companies show a new game on the same day. Some that you would have expected to be the next to show haven’t done anything in far too long on the new game front. Shit or get off the pot. *cough* CGC

I’ve said this a few times over the last few years. Taco Bell would be so easy to do a pin about. I’d even make sure there is a Mexican Pizza mode. My wife was (and still is) pissed when they took that off the menu.

TB has never given me issues. No clue what everyone’s issues are, but sucks for you I guess.

Buffalitos (and fries) for the win from BWW.

Sounds like my air conditioner is on.

Yes, they said they would announce some time in June.

WOZ: Killer Corpse Edition

It’s still June. They were no more specific than that.

T2 and Star Wars Episode 1.

Them’s fightin’ words.
