Quoted from Marcdaddy:Jack just out up a video saying he is Heading to Stern to Stream it.
He said he was headed to Stern to work out the logistics - still probably an April Fools gag.

obviously its april fool's so i feel like we might be getting put on... but it would be pretty cool to see jack, steve, tim, etc stream all 3 black knight games in chronological order.
maybe with steve providing some commentary, anecdotes, memories, lessons learned as we go through the 3 games.

Nice April Fools... lol Can you imagine the dimples that would create...
Quoted from epthegeek:He said he was headed to Stern to work out the logistics - still probably an April Fools gag.
1st of April is over here. If I don't get BK3000 I sue all of you!!!
Quoted from Guinnesstime:Well, it does just use BK for "Black Knight". Or Burger King.
Winner winner Whopper dinner!
7C08815E-3A8A-46B7-A6F6-2971F034217C (resized).pngLOL at all the butthurt in the Twitch chat. Seriously...it couldn't have been more obvious this was a April Fools gag.
I'm stilling wondering how solid the theme integration on this will be. I feel like Stern skimps on the physical playfield world creation that B/W was good at and that JJP strives for. GOT is a good example, where rules were good, audio and dots were ok, but there was something missing...
Quoted from CrazyLevi:April fools day: dumbest day on the planet.
By far.
I was cautiously optimistic that this wouldn't be a dumb April fools day prank.
Just say you are streaming with Steve Ritchie have your questions ready. I guess I'm just one of the "butthurt" people.
I took off from work early, picked up the kids from school, cooked dinner for the family, cleaned up the dishes, did bathtime.. all so I could watch this stream.. they better actually stream some black knight FOR REAL!
pinball_keefer showing up at the BK was pretty fricking hilarious! Anyone who didn't expect this to be an April Fool's joke was just too anxious to see the game IMO, it was just too easy.
I know I should have known better.. but the twitter video seemed pretty sincere.. Not gonna lie, I'm freaking pissed.. considering cancelling my LE order.. #butthurt
Quoted from knockerlover:considering cancelling my LE order.. #butthurt
One more for me!!!
Quoted from Guinnesstime:Winner winner Whopper dinner![quoted image]
Looks like they all got Fries with their burgers. Onion rings must come on the LE meal ???
Quoted from knockerlover:you want two LE's?
I want 600. One for each penis of mine...
Sadly I can aford none, but still can have fun with that 600 genitals of mine.
Edit: Nobody here seems to like'em.
Quoted from NoQuarters:Looks like they all got Fries with their burgers. Onion rings must come on the LE meal ???
Yeah but they all got the Whopper Topper. Hat's off to Stern!
Maybe Gary only gave them enough money for Fries. Onion Rings would have shot the cost on BOM - aka Bag Of Meals.
Steve Ritchie and Tim Sexton eating Burger King with a crowns on. *swoon*
Thanks for being sports, internet! ❤️❤️❤️
Love that Keith stopped by!!
What actually astonishes me:
If you go to Burger King in Germany that kinda looks like a classic american Diner from the 60's (in a way, it's highly stylized)...
...now this 'real' US Burger King looks like some fastfood shithole from the 80s.
Quoted from DS_Nadine:...now this 'real' US Burger King looks like some fastfood shithole from the 80s.
they stopped caring many years ago from the condition of most of their stores.
Quoted from anathematize:they stopped caring many years ago from the condition of most of their stores.
It sure shows!
For comparison:
2-format4004 (resized).jpgQuoted from estrader:Its Jack dressed up as the king from burger king playing an older version of black knight.
Guess I was half correct. Don’t know if the jokes on us for no stream of actual game play or them for eating dinner at Burger King and risking getting hep c
I figured this was going to be a April Fool's goof, so I was looking forward to the butthurt reactions more than the stream. I was not disappointed.
Hilarious.. I dropped around 8500 on a game sight unseen.. and Stern and Jack Danger thinks its funny to dangle it in my face.. my money is going elsewhere. I'm just one person so I'm sure they will laugh and not care.. that's fine, there are choices in pinball now.

Damn where you find this for 8500?
I understand your frustration but it’s not like they took out mechs/features in the game and are charging the same.

Srsly? - They said before that first gameplay will be shown at midwest gaming or whatever the name is in two weeks and this little joke was pretty obvious.
So you really want to skip a possibly awesome game only because of a lil obvious april fools joke you fell for?!
Quoted from estrader:I understand your frustration
I don't. The stream was a silly prank. So what? The buildup is part of the fun.
Listen, I'm buying this game, too, and I am looking forward to seeing some gameplay as much as anyone. In the meantime I'm going to enjoy the ride. Chill out, y'all.

Let the man vent his frustration. Who knows what he's going to do but he's on fire right now!

I've bought nearly every Stern LE since Star Trek, every CGC LE. The guy they have partnered with (Jack Danger) to show first looks at live gameplay, and Stern pull a crappy stunt to dangle it in the faces of their customers. Thread drained, order cancelled, I'll be waiting to see what JJP does..

@knockerlover’s overreaction is an even better April Fool’s joke than the Burger King stunt! Well played, sir.

Probably the $8500 LE price was the best part of that hoax.
Best option would have to been pull the April Fools prank, then announce the actual stream or reveal a little bit of new info at the end. Have the chuckle, keep the hype going.

Wow....just dropped in here to make a joke that I'm cancelling my LE order because of this "outrage" April Fools joke, then read knockerlover 's post that he is actually doing that!!! This place never ceases to impress me.
