Quoted from pins4life33:They can always disable it in comp play as well
Do you disable outlane saves on your tournament games?
Quoted from scruffypinball:Jack danger does a lot of crowing about inclusion and social awareness on podcasts and his stream….
Pfft, that jerk trying to talk to his hundreds of followers about being nice to one another. Where does he get the nerve!

Quoted from MRudowsky:I noticed it was DeadFlip's hands in the video and had to laugh at his self-edited "Let's Heck" on his right hand. Excellent use of Band-Aids and marker. Well done DeadFlip! Can't wait to play it!
[quoted image]
I thought his hands read "LETS READ" and "HECK YEAH" normally, no editing required?
Quoted from Cobray:Difference is, I've been here and in the hobby 10+ years, you're a newb at 4.. so I get your blind dedication and lack of long term view of the hobby. Again, I said I am happy for those paying it.
YOU had to get personal to me, not sure why... You can say that I'm always bitching about price increases, really I'm not.. YOU are the one that seems to blindly defend anything and everything in the hobby, INCLUDING the prices. I'd say I'm the more objective one, you're just a blind follower that likes and agrees with everything. Good for you!

IT WAS A SELECT FEW THAT STERN SOLD DIRECTLY, now that I'm done shouting you may find one at an obscure distro since they're making 1000 LE's
Quoted from jackd104:Hilarious how Stern has included the obligatory Hot Chick in the announcement email. Foo is not even in the picture. “Look Beavis. They have hot chicks. Huh huh.”

Oh, and the game looks really fun.
I heard it was going to be her or Pat Smear. Looks like she won out by a hair. Haha.
Quoted from scruffypinball:Jack danger does a lot of crowing about inclusion and social awareness on podcasts and his stream…. Curious to see what efforts he made with this game to include/rep others (outside of himself on the backglass)
Well, it includes aliens…

Better call the wahhhhbalance. This is the internet, this is a forum, and all points are talked about. You need a safe place? LMAO. Get over yourself. Its my opinion, go attack someone else..

Bit more complex than that obtuse statement. Go listen to him on backbox podcast speak about inclusion in pinball for an hour.

Somebody is nursing a dumb grudge and looking for a stupid fight that has nothing to do with this pinball machine reveal.
"I hate inclusion but why isn't Foo Fighters more inclusive cause Jack always talks about inclusion!!!"
Man don't you guys EVER get fuckin' tired of this stuff? You are literally wearing out an entire country with it.
This game looks amazing, only problem I can see is Pro looks really weak next to the Premium and Pro is what you will see around most often. Gotta spring for the Premium! $$$
I had no idea I would even be remotely interested in buying a Foo Fighters pin but now I’m in on premium.

Quoted from Cobray:Amazing how quickly people have forgotten the ridiculous Stern price increases... I haven't. I'm not here to rain on anyones parade, I am happy for those that are paying for it, I really am. I'll buy your used one at a discount . At least this looks like it was well designed and thought through and shows some risk for being different.
Game looks fun! But really, it should, the only reason we are excited is because of the lame offerings some of the pinball companies have given us.. It's like the other "phoned in" designs make it worth buying the creative ones... like GZ. And hopefully this. We still have the Code for this one being the deal breaker IMO.
It's amazing what a good designer can do! There really isn't anything that is new from a parts perspective, this is all "off the shelf" parts to make this with the addition of some molds (van, monster). It's the things we seem to like in pinball, a shaking plastic part/object (like we've seen so many times before), a stop over a object (van), and a building/garage that we shoot through (how many times have we seen this?).
Again, not to rain on the parade, just objective observations.
it's a whinge and a rant and a crap one at that and you've said don't piss on anyones parade twice so you obvs don't give two hoots!

Who hates inclusion? Jack has publicly committed to inclusion (even after his voice acting was removed from Rick and morty). It’s something he discusses commonly and publicly. Why are you so mad?

being nice to people, its so freaking hard isn't it?
Very happy Tanio and Team on code.
There are tons of code options available with the stack of features built into this one.
On top of the huge potential for awesome code, the great detail in the cartoon video assets should push the fun factor to the next level.
Tanio's most recent works.

Homebrew designers don't count. He shouldn't flex something if he doesn't want a professional to use it
Quoted from PinKopf:Upper playfield actually looks fun - maybe a first for a Stern, lol?
Quoted from Jaytech10:First upper playfield since tspp
Quoted from MikeS:What about Aerosmith or GOT?-probably others as well.
The 2nd quote was in response to "FUN" upper PF's, not upper PF's in general from Stern.
well... no interest in the music but everything else about that pin looks great! art is awesome and playfield looks fun, can't wait to play it at the local brewpub!
and, next time maybe the hot chick can narrate the video instead of the stiff CEO?
Quoted from NeilMcRae:being nice to people, its so freaking hard isn't it?
None of you have actually listened to him discuss this have you?
Quoted from epthegeek:I thought his hands read "LETS READ" and "HECK YEAH" normally, no editing required?
You are correct. My mistake. Apologies to @deadflip. Looked like a Band-Aid under the H to me and I made the terrible mistake of assuming. Rock on!

Quoted from MegaFeenix:This game looks amazing, only problem I can see is Pro looks really weak next to the Premium and Pro is what you will see around most often. Gotta spring for the Premium! $$$
I don't know about that. The pro looks pretty good, and with all the hate upper playfields get around here (let's be honest, that shot is just a how many times can you hit the loop) I would think most people would prefer the pro, except that it has plastics instead of sculps.
That being said, I agree...the premium seems to be the sweet spot, but damn it's still too pricey for me to buy without playing it first. I might jump in on a pro sight unseen..maybe.
Quoted from Desmodromic:I'mma head out and order that Pinwoofer setup +Polk sub right meow
Quoted from Hayfarmer:Damn good idea!! I'll be ordering after reveal,,,
Quoted from iceman44:Pinwoofer gonna sell a lot of kits!
Looking forward to some epic audio!

Did we verify the Pro doesn't support expression lights. That's the one big downer for me.

Not wanting to go down a rabbit hole, but the "wearing out" goes both ways. It's much more than just "being nice" to people. It's watching every word you say, every step you take, catering to the perpetually offended. Constantly being on your toes because people are looking for a power play to control your language and actions even if you are a generally good person wears you out too.

Now we're going full pinside... Only took about 90 minutes
Beecroft

Don't forget the lazarus post. Totally worth the money, right?
I assume the PRO model overdrive just launches a new ball like a standard ball save.
Quoted from Gubbin:Did we verify the Pro doesn't support expression lights. That's the one big downer for me.
I haven't seen what the expression lights are...and if it is what I think it is, seems like something someone can make themselves without that much hassle for much cheaper - and then sell extremely marked up *Cough* .

true, that is a very interesting inclusion.
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:Did Jack Danger just shamelessly steal zacaj?s deathsave post from his homebrew?!?
Danger did have this same post on his homebrew/whitewood. My game does not use a post to bounce the ball up between the flippers, it has a player controlled vuk to throw the ball over the flipper vertically. I don't think the Danger "dead post" is player controlled either.

Quoted from Zablon:I haven't seen what the expression lights are...and if it is what I think it is, seems like something someone can make themselves without that much hassle.
The nice thing about the expression lights is that they route the cabinet walls so the LEDs stay in place, unlike pin stadiums which typically have to be removed each time you need to service the game. The pro isn't routed...so custom standoffs or another solution would be needed (if the pro code supports EL)
Great game Jack..... knocked it outta the park.
What a homerun.
The Foo's did a drive-by on the Godfather.... he ain't getting up after getting shot like this.
Quoted from TreyBo69:Now we're going full pinside... Only took about 90 minutes
Responding to it, not starting it, and being done with it. Completely different.

Stop flexing, Muscles
Never gone for a NIB LE, but I did on this. It's also the first theme my wife insisted we get, so that helps.
Quoted from Cobray:I said I was unhappy with the prices... you said you were unhappy WITH ME because of my opinion. There is no irony, except I discuss things I don't like, you talk about people you don't like... see the difference?
The ironic part is how you travel around thread to thread advocating for flipping these things… and are so angry that the manufacturers/distros make any money.
