Quoted from Gryszzz:I know we don't play the LCD, but MAN am I excited to see what animations they come up with for this. I hope it's bloody as fook!
I think the non movie LCD animations of AS, IMDN and DP blow the movie TV BM66, SW, GOTG MUN ones away. BK should be solid

-BM66 than I agree.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Yeah sorry guys, was just told it is Scott Ian, not KK. At first I heard all Slayer soundtrack. And that. Would. Blow. My mind. But don't think it is. This is why I'll never be one of the cool kids.
Well now I want it to be KK!
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Well now I want it to be KK!
Me too. 
Helluva consolation prize though.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Me too.
Helluva consolation prize though.
Will someone just unleash a goddamn Judas Priest or Sabbath game already?!
As long as we get an animation of Steve Ritchie battling/running away from the Black Knight.
I agree that the 100% 3D animations look the best, but theme integration for the TV titles wouldn’t be complete without all of the show clips.

Firepower is on constantly here dude. Talk about an impeccable return to form...
GREAT album.

Thought you didn't like it man. You said it was low rated.
As I told you. Who gives a crap about critics. I know what my ears like.
I just cancelled my Munsters LE order (Which I ordered without playing or really seeing)
To get Black Knight SR LE (Which I am ordering without playing or seeing)
I hope they ship them at a faster pace than Munsters otherwise I might be in this loop forever.
If I cannot have the latest LE to show off to my Pinball friends I don't see the point of buying them right?
Quoted from PaulCoff:Dear Black Knight,
Please let there be at least one pop bumper in Swords of Rage.
Thank you.
Yes, there are pop bumpers in the game.
Quoted from mrgone:Yes, there are pop bumpers in the game.

Whaa? You sure you got the right guy? Cause I don't think ya do. I bought it for myself for Christmas and it's been on repeat (with Wormrot) nonstop since then. Also...I have never, ever, given a flyin fuck about a "critic". You got me mixed up bruh. I would never say something like that.
Quoted from Gryszzz:At first I heard all Slayer soundtrack. And that. Would. Blow. My mind. But don't think it is.
hopefully like TWD some great man out there will do a version with all Slayer.
Quoted from pipes:That's exactly how I imagined the Stern insider program would work. Glad I saved $30.
Yes, but thanks to the insider than quickly shared. Domo Arigato!
Quoted from Gryszzz:Dio you got that apology ready yet?
I'll wait.
Never doubt the metal bones in gryszzz body!!
I vote BK3. It’s the shortest.
Quoted from Marcdaddy:At TPF Jack said the new Woz is not part of his 2 new titles this year, Take Note. He said new game is on the line and 2nd game is out later.
Clearly i struck a nerve here..Not to get off topic, but I'm actually a JJP fan...3 out of 4 anyway. He said the line was being converted to the next pin, not on the line yet and who knows how long that could take. Besides announced doesn't even mean shipping this year, although i hope so. Frankly I'm just frustrated with the one pin every other year pace. YBR feels like a desperation move to me.
Quoted from Beebl:Besides announced doesn't even mean shipping this year, although i hope so.
he also said they are avoiding announcing a game before it's shipping. Hence his lead in to YBR being ready to ship the following week.
Quoted from DBLM:If this is Steve’s swan son, this could be a helluva way to go.
Maybe with his son, Steve Ritchie can paddle off into the sunset...jk. 
Quoted from libtech:Nice to see an unlicensed them from Stern! Betcha it will be fun, wonder who is coding it...
Prepare yourself.

I don’t know what’s more exciting. Stern doing an original. Or That original being by Steve ritchie. Or that Steve ritchie pin being based around the Black Knight. ORRRRR...that Black Knight pin being coded by Tim balls! That dude has a passion for pinball and with the team around him (Mike, that new programmer from IMDN, Steve ritchie, and more) this will no doubt be a kick ass game. Disclaimer: I reserve right to jump from the hype train pending further details

Well, I have the album in my top 5 priest albums.
I actually just relistened to most of their catalog, save for most live albums. I have to go through it again. But, I rediscovered some fine gems that I missed in my youth.
Current top 5 albums are Stained Class, Screaming For Vengeance, Painkiller, Firepower, and Defenders of the Faith... British Steel is my 6th favorite album. I just re-listened to Defenders and I was surprised it never caught on for me till now. I was stupid in my youth.
I admit I don't like Sad Wings... Studio recording is awful... But, live it kicks butt!!!!! Ripper off unleashed in east is AMAZING. Hell Bent for Leather is okay, and Point of Entry is just bland. Not bad, just bland. I think the best song off that album re-release was the bonus track that they recorded during either defenders or turbo... Can't remember which album.
But, yeah... Firepower is a great album. My favorite album of last year... And let me tell you. Michael Schenker released an album, and I thought that would have been my hands down favorite, and it was a very, very good one. Just the guitar tone and riffs and licks on firepower are amazing. Band sounded more energized than ever. Same for Halford.
Quoted from pinnyheadhead:Correct no Upper PF in Pro. But Pro will be good.
If this is true that would kinda suck. How can you have uppers on the first two games and then not deliver on game three unless you pony up extra cash for a premium or LE.
Quoted from riggy469:If this is true that would kinda suck. How can you have uppers on the first two games and then not deliver on game three unless you pony up extra cash for a premium or LE.
Maybe it'll be virtual.

In true metal warrior tradition Steve Ritchie wrecked this hotel room shortly afterward...
Quoted from Gryszzz:Uhhh...
I missed yer "oh man that wasn't you LOL!" post and...you have a sixth favorite album?
Sorry to have you confused with another person mate.
And those weren't my favorite albums. Just my favorite Priest albums...
But Stained Class is in my top 5 favorite metal albums ever.
For that. It's Chemical Wedding, Holy Diver, Stained Class, Symbol of Salvation, Operation Mindcrime.
I was in contact with one of the Anthrax guys this morning and was surprised he wasn’t even aware Scott was doing anything with the soundtrack. P.S. KFK will be featured on a pin soon enough (or so I’ve heard).
The leaked playfield looks suspiciously like a Game of Thrones reskin. I wonder who designed that game...
Quoted from Gryszzz:Damn. Chemical Wedding that high? I'll be honest, I've never heard any of Bruce's solo stuff. Guess I will now, be buyin this soon.
Holy Diver was my favorite metal album from like age 6-7 till the release of Chem Wedd in 1998. To me there is not one wrong note. Every riff is perfect and Bruce's vocals are intense, and venomous, but also dramatic and soaring. The album loosely has a concept and it works both as single songs or as one big masterpiece together. Just an intense in your face heavy metal album, but its not pretentious. He's not trying to be hard. He knows he's metal. And just the guitar tones of both Roy Z and Adrian Smith... Amazing... He knows when to slow the album down and ramp it back up, and I think the lyrics are the all time smartest lyrics in heavy metal history. But, I love Blake-ian and macabre themes. And Adrian Smith's solo on Gate's of Urizen if one of his all time best. It harkens back to the beauty that is his Evil That Men Do solo, and his stranger in the strange Land solo. He isn't flashy. He plays the right notes at the right time, for the right impact. And man... Such sustain and beauty in that solo.
The album as I said is brillantly paced, but you go through all the emotions. He takes you on a wondrous journey. And too many metal bands just focus on being hard and loud. He'll slow it down, and that makes it all the better for when he goes fast and loud again.
I'll admit I don't know where I'd put Piece of Mind and Powerslave and Seventh Son(my favorite maiden album)... As I forbide myself of including Maiden albums in my top 20 lists of metal albums... I'm too biased... But, I think if I did... Only Seventh Son would crack my personal top 5...
But, yeah... Bruce's solo stuff is some of thee very best metal from the 90s.
I'd put Accident of Birth in the top 20 for sure. A flawed but still amazing masterpiece of an album.
Leaked photo looks pretty cool, can't wait for the full reveal! In the meantime I'll listen to the track below.
Quoted from FalconPunch:Prepare yourself. [quoted image]
Looking forward to seeing what he does with the Black Knight ruleset after his work on Iron Maiden. Hoping that the the game has a lot of depth to it and that Stern isn't going to force a simpler ruleset on the game.
