Quoted from DeeGor:How long until someone posts a Star Wars vs TNA poll?
Done: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/total-nuclear-annihilation-or-star-wars
Quoted from Whysnow:That is a change to game play. Werent the rollovers used to boost reactor value?
I assumed that those white inserts are just place holders for the rollovers still?
Yes good question. Wouldn't this completely change/increase difficulty?
Quoted from Jgaltr56:I think the art looks great but I have to say I like this idea. It would tie the playfield into the back glass. Think Xenon (NOT Kaneda).
Not necessary. The person pressing the flippers is the player standing at the front of the machine... I don't need an image of a person to remind me.
Quoted from Rascal_H:Not to get too into the minutiae - but I have to say my favorite part of the whole art package are these mysterious bad asses.
C.H.U.D.
So now people are complaining about the art? Pinside is an odd place.
Perhaps Spooky should have just pulled a Stern and Photoshopped the source photos or just took the source material and ran a filter over them to make it look like hand drawn art, a la Star Wars or Game of Thrones; everyone loves when they do that. Oh wait, they can't?
People get an original theme, and still find reason to complain. 
This game is beautiful! It's unique and looks to be a blast to play. I'm looking forward trying it.
Am I weird to think this could be a game that has long replayability in a collection? It looks brutal and could be a pin that teases that 'just one more game' appeal... like Shadow.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Not sure how I got ejected from all the Stern threads so I guess I'll just hang out here.
BRAVO! Machine is GORGEOUS.
Wait what? You can no longer view Stern threads?
This game looks amazing, I think this thread just goes to show that people find something to argue about in pinball no matter what. It's not even a matter of arguing about the art now, it's arguing about the right to argue. Hilarious 
Quoted from bangerjay:Original ideas are never by committee, you go Scott
But wasn't that how camels were invented?
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:No game benefits from piling a bunch of useless shit on top of the head.
Agreed. Toppers are for people who need their pin to be it's own special snowflake.
Quoted from TigerLaw:I am not going to moderate two awesome Pinsiders, I choose to do a reminder instead, so please remember to keep all Lionman statements in the Lionman thread only. Thank you.
What do people keep saying lion man?
Quoted from delt31:OK thanks - sorry don't do facebook.
Uh oh, we got a bad ass rebel here. Not doing Facebook, is the new 'sorry I don't own a tv'. 
Quoted from Whysnow:from LIONMAN!
What does Lionman mean?

Quoted from Wolfmarsh:Present and accounted for.
It's just a fun thing to kid around with. You use it to play dollar bet games against your friends, everyone puts a dollar coin in the rack and winner takes them. I like the idea and I jumped on the hype train a little because it's something positive and fun to spread around.
Is this something that's been around for a while? Can you get them in different colors, or just the gold one? I like the sound of this.

I think TNA looks great, the art, the sound, the gameplay rules, etc. but there is one niggly detail that bothers me....
The way the edge of the circle reactor lights match up to the perspective of the columns. The lines should meet the circle at the tangent but they don’t, they kinda just go close to the edges which looks weird. I know it’s a minor detail, but once I noticed I can’t unsee it. Has anyone else noticed this?
Quoted from Aurich:No he's saying the rod circumference is smaller than the cap I think. Which is because it has a cap, you're not looking down at a naked cylinder, there's a top part that's larger.
Yes that’s what I’m trying to say, but your explanation makes sense if there is a cap that’s meant to be larger than the cylinder.

Quoted from Pmaino:I will be getting mine in January and live on Long Island. 40 minute train ride away. Anyone is welcome to come and play.
That’s great, and congrats on the preorder!
Quoted from Aurich:Here's why I don't like it: Randomness from software isn't interesting. Let the ball do what the ball is gonna do, that's pinball. You just play it the best you can, you use your skills the best you can, and if physics beats you, so be it. A drain because a sling randomly went off at half strength sounds incredibly lame. What's satisfying about that?
Totally agree. It sounds more like a half baked novelty, that would replace skill with randomness... why not randomize the flipper strength too while you’re at it?!
Quoted from 27dnast:I completely disagree... randomness can be intoxicatingly fun when ocassionally introduced. I like the idea.
Stick with pachinko.
Quoted from bangerjay:Lionman restores order to the wasteland
What does Total Nuclear Annihilation have to do with Lionman/Swords of Fury?
