The way gomez was talking at expo it sounds like it's put off until Spring/Summer next year.

Not sure if you heard, but I am now a Private. So, go forth, and play competitive pinball. Don't forget to buy Stern Beatles.
Thanks

Looks like you will need to buy that Aerosmith pro soon private!

Don't recall that on your podcast. If you did I'd better stop drinking and driving.

I also believe this to be the case.
After all these months the updates should be... "We have seen what is coming in this latest code update, and you guys are going to love it. Totally changes the game."

That's the Stern code status update I have been looking for.
Sadly we get only bad news after all this time.

Congratulations Private Ryan C of Australia. I just read about it. I Salute you.

Well, it's almost that time again. What are everyone's predictions regarding code? Below are mine.

"KISS code is released and it's a huge update, get it now!"

"A Deadpool update will be released by the end of the year"

"Batman recieved another code update this month to polish the game"

"Ghostbusters code has been further delayed and will be worked on after Munsters is complete" lol

"Lyman has started preliminary code on Elvira 3"

Official Munsters Announcement!

Dream on TKD!

Getting a little late in the day, Central time. When do they usually post this?

I think is usually is between 1 to 4pm CST. Yep, seems overdue.

WTF do you want them to say? Wan't big code drop enough?

Someone must have forgot how to use CTRL C and CTRL V.
Ok I'll cut them some slack, at least they have had a few good updates lately, except none for poor GOT and GOTLE.

It is up. http://www.sternpinball.com/community/stern-of-the-union-address-december-2018

Status of Code:

We are continuously working to update and improve software for our machines. There are always code updates and bug fixes in various stages of development; we will release them upon update completion. Here are some of the latest updates and the status of things in the works. As always, if you do encounter any bugs please feel free to provide information to [email protected]:
•Just like Aerosmith, another exciting software release from Lonnie and his team with the absolutely massive KISS code update! We hope you have a happy KISSMAS and are enjoying this huge game changing update!
•Batman 1.0 is finally here and to help celebrate this milestone, stay tuned for an upcoming Dead Flip stream soon with some special guests on hand!
•Deadpool – Another update is in the works and is scheduled to be released later this month.
•Ghostbusters code update is delayed, but remains in our schedule.
•Just because a game isn’t listed on here doesn’t mean there can’t be surprises from time to time. We hope you enjoyed the gigantic Metallica code update last month!

Wow, a lot of marketing text with almost nothing of substance this time.

I read the following "substantive" updates:

• we just gave you a big fat KISS update
• we just gave you a big fat (surprise) Metallica update
• Batman live stream coming soon
• Deadpool update coming later this month
• Ghostbusters delayed, but still in the works

Maybe you were looking for something else specific and didn't receive it?

How about Brazil assembly line clip

So:
happened already
happened already
ok
ok
ok

Not really much of substance. Zero Iron Maiden code update information, even though there's quite a list of bugs remaining. They need to also call out Game of Thrones code by name because that has some serious bugs that haven't been addressed since release literally years ago.

So just like every single stern of the Union ever.

You’d have to be pretty dumb to be surprised that this is more of the same.

Either that or just whining to hear yourself whine.

I wonder what games they're going to move up in front of Ghostbusters next....

It's like Stern is procrastinating and doesn't want to re-visit this game.

Had to reach a word quota.

Nope I don't think that is it now. Dwight is the coder for Munsters. Munsters is in the crunch window and about to launch. Once Munsters is complete, Dwight will go back to Ghostbusters.

The lack of Ghostbusters code update is appalling. Ghostbusters has been out for how long... 3/4yrs now!? Still with inserts that don’t do anything!

They should be doing these updates in order of release.. I’ve been patient with my LE sitting here I’ve been tempted to sell it, but waiting for an update to breathe new life into it... getting fed up

It's now been 14 months since Stern first mentioned a Ghostbusters code update coming after Star Wars is completed...that was in their first ever Stern of the Union address. That's ridiculous.

March would be the 3 year mark.

This is hilarious! I don't think they know the definition of the word schedule. They did call it "our schedule" which means nothing, way to go Stern. You have confirmed that you don't have a schedule.

Still the best (and unfortunately only) Ghostbusters update

That does help, but I found selling mine to work even better!

What will come first, news that Ghostbusters 3 is in production or Sterns code update for the game?

Best SOTUA to date IMO

Unless you’re a GB owner

Stern has delivered a lot of code for several games recently so this address was a great summary of fulfilled promises. How can ya bitch about that?

The to-do list is shrinking!

I was thinking the exact same thing. This place can be overly negative and dramatic sometimes.

Maybe they are waiting until the topper is finally finished That would be insane... :/

Im sure you'll find a way.

As long as a GB update is on the road map, I don't care when it comes out. I really like seeing the random games get updates dropped, like metallica and twd. Kiss got a big update, we have lots of new programmers there, lots of things coming down the pipe. I think most the people that are good at complaining don't work in a software setting....nothing in software is on time, too many unknowns and so many changes.

Pike. Down the pike.

Let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of time between code updates. Based on today's SOTU address, it would be a Twinkie 35 feet long weighing approximately 600 pounds.

The Twinkie-gument?
Def. a first!
Some things are taking time, but I think Stern properly puts things on priority, some just like to complain from their game owner view, understandable, to a point.
When stern is obviously trying very hard, and delivering a ton of good things, to see people just bitch and moan just looks like tantrum BS.
(Not directed toward Twinkie-gument, that was funny)

A Twinkie 35 feet long would weigh a lot more than 600 pounds. I always wanted to say that.

Average twinkie is 4" long and weighs about .1 lbs. Therefore 35 feet of Twinkie is only 10.5lbs. I always wanted to correct someone's Twinkie calculations.

Sure, if you only extend the length and keep the same width and height (aka a super long super skinny twinkie). If you have a twinkie of similar proportions at that length it will be much heavier.

Dude.. it's not always about forward looking statements or new promises. The thing recaps what's happened since the last update and they should celebrate the releases. You're just being a sourpuss across the board of late.

It's the state of the union... not "heres the things we are promising to launch you didn't know about".

It feels sometimes they can’t win short of them holding the software releases back and only release them with the Stern of the Union.

If they want PinMonk to stop grumbling about the SOTUA, they'll evidently need to include monthly updates on Iron Maiden and GOTG.

Don't care about Guardians of the Galaxy. It sucks.

Game of Thrones, I care about. It's been ignored since release and has some pretty large bugs that need fixing.

It has not been ignored since release. Unless you're still playing the swashbuckler videa mode?

be happy you haven't waited 3-4 yrs like kiss fans did

if we could get rid of about 4-5 guys on here, it certainly would help that.
