A good thing I don't listen to peoples opinions on games, if so we would all own the same games. If you do not like a game don't buy it, there are many other pinball machines available. No need to hate on a pinball company the more people making pinball machines the better.
I think pinball bros are a thing now and terms like FOMO help us differentiate.
Quoted from Chisox:I wish pinsiders would use the new hip term FOMO more often. It means “Fear Of Missing Out” for all you guys out of the loop.
Quoted from Frax:You lost any credibility as a poster the second you typed that out......
I assumed it was a joke?

Haha yep. Unfortunately this likely isn't the first or last fake account he has. With his podcast thread taken down he has to create these accounts and start topics to try and stay "relevant"/pimp his show. Waiting for BigMouth to show up here any day.

It’s not as simple as don’t like don’t buy..In this environment if you don’t insta buy your out of luck (unless the game turns out be be a dud). The anti-consumer non refundable deposit before significant gameplay shown is the real culprit here.

Looks like he's donating just enough to buy a week's worth of posting. Perhaps $5 per rejoin?

It’s not Chris and that donation was made a year ago.
Likely friends with him and in the club tho.
Quoted from timtim:You guys would drool over my exotic car NFTs.
I've been selling NFTs of me right clicking and saving your NFTs. Making mad crypto bucks to use to start my own pinball company.
Quoted from McDoom:What's so good about Stranger Things nowadays?
Same as when it first came out...Super fun pin, adrenaline rush, great soundtrack/music
Mikey like Halloween. Mikey want Halloween. Mikey have 1 open spot in arcade before arcade busts at seams. Mike want
We get it... we need a great code update. We're working on it. Even that angry podcaster says this is our best shooter, so yep... on the right track. Going forward, you'll see MUCH more of the games before sales launch. Thats why we've hired multiple full time programmers and directional humans. It just takes time. The people are in place, and thats the hard part.
And to everyone posting photos of sweet C8 Corvettes... LUCKY!!! And nice life skills to earn one.
I dig the old C3's... and you can literally trade a Bally Wms game for one. I know... I've basically done it twice. Maybe one day that C8 ship will roll in. 
The young man standing with the car in his grad photo is now one of those test & direction guys I mentioned (aka, Bug... son of Charlie)... get to know him. He's gonna be here hopefully making you all happy for a long time.
Be nice to each other people. Pinball is hard enough on our end, keep it fun on yours.

Nice ride.
Quoted from frankmac:Nice ride
Oldie but a goodie... couldn't get that car in high school so I waited till I was 50 something and traded an AFM for it.
We hear you all... and we have no intentions of letting everything we've worked for slip.
Stay Spooky! And man I'm ready for summer.

Those of us who buy your games see what you’re doing and support you.
Love that C3. I think it’s the most underrated generation of Corvette, myself - though I do love a C4.
This is my 1986 Gbody 911 Targa I daily drive. If you think sorting out electrical issues in a pinball machine is tough, try it with a 36 year old 911!

THAT!!! Oh wow what a sweet ride!!! They were meant to be driven right?!? And tinkering on them is half the fun. I've had to swap the entire brake system in this one so KT is safe to cruise all summer in it. She drives the wheels off this little red funmobile.

I think I may have seen one 911 in my lifetime driving in the snow. Love it. Anyone can drive a 2021 Jeep Wrangler in the winter, but an ‘86 911 Targa? Now that’s driving.
Thanks for jumping into the cesspool Charlie. Seems some people prefer bitching and stirring it up to playing. I like playing and am still stoked for my game.
1158 pieces is almost as many as the real deal! 
Night ya'll. Maybe one day we'll do a pinball & car show! Actually... thats kind of a kick a** idea.
Quoted from Frax:You lost any credibility as a poster the second you typed that out.
Let me state a fact here. What is the value of KPOP games (Theatre of Magic, Tales from the Arabian Knights, Magic Girl, Circus Voltaire and people really liked the art on RAZA. Look I'm not saying to actually hire KPOP, I'm saying he's available. If he designs a game, and someone like Spooky manufactured it would people line up for miles to buy it... ahhh yeah they would.
KPOP knows more about designing a pinball than everyone at Spooky combined times 10. With that being said I'm not saying hire him, I'm not saying hire Balcer, or any of the other free agents. I'm saying just HIRE someone with a proven track record of pinball design what is wrong in saying that. Personally I would love to buy a Magic Girl or RAZA both games look amazing. Unlike some people I wasn't dumb enough to go on impulse and hand over any money. I would NEVER give KPOP 50 cents in advance but if Stern hired him would you buy the game? Yes you would just like you bought a Bryan Eddie game. I can see it now Stern hires KPOP and everyone goes crazy talking trash, then his game is released and people or crawling all over themselves to buy it.
Like it or not Pinball buyers have short term memory when it comes to seeing something they want. Did people go back in on Big Lebowski, Aliens, etc? Ahh yeah they did, if American Pinball came out RIGHT NOW and said we bought the design rights to Magic Girl and its our next game what would happen? People would line up with money to buy it. Screw KPOP he's a thief, but what does that have to do with Magic Girl and buying it from American Pinball? Nothing. Are you going to actually sit here and say with a straight face if American Pinball a company we can trust, bought the RIGHTS to everything Magic Girl and produced the game it wouldn't sell like hot cakes? Magic Girl would be American Pinball biggest seller ever period!
But none of that is the point, because the point is there are proven designers out there with more experience than the current crew at Spooky. I am NOT a fan of Joe Balcer designs, but do you think he would have done a lot better job with Halloween? Yes and by ten miles.
Spooky needs someone over there to design the games end of story. I personally don't care who as long as they have a track record. Spooky should do what it has proven it can do which is manufacture, leave the designing to those better suited.
Spooky in my opinion needs to come out of the clouds dump the EGO, and admit our current team isn't good enough. Do you see Gary Stern designing pinball games? He's the leader, whomever is leading Spooky should LEAD the company to a new level. It starts by hiring talent. Have you ever heard the term 'everyone focus on what you're best at'. Spooky can manufacture, but can their current team design, create artwork, computer animation, do they have the engineers for mechs? Don't be the guy who thinks you can do it all because you will fail be the leader, create a winning team and score touchdowns not field goals.
Spooky has the everything they need now to take it to new heights a facility to build games and money. Now use that money to build an award winning team and then watch spooky grow!

Better yet, a full on pinball rally. Multiple locations, multiple challenges, etc. Local operators would love it.

Fear not.....Im sure SpookyCharlie will be studying your in-depth business analysis and recommendations and implementing them ASAP. Nothing better than free Pinside advice to help a pinball company survive and thrive. Ask

I don't understand the point your putting forward.Are you comparing GnR to Halloween for their quality their looks

No
Quoted from blacklightprod:Do you honestly think those people who are dumping the game left and right will repeat this mistake the next time around?
Yes
Quoted from blacklightprod:Several distors who goggled up these games can’t sell them. Will they go all in with Spooky again?
Yes
Quoted from blacklightprod:If he designs a game, and someone like Spooky manufactured it would people line up for miles to buy it... ahhh yeah they would.
Not the people who have been following the JPOP threads over the past 7+ years. Or at least not without seeing gameplay first. He put out some nice games in the past but it's pretty clear he's incapable of designing a functioning game these days. He's probably best at art direction.

JPOOP can't design or produce Jack shit.
GAME OVER
No idea how I missed this thread yesterday, but any thread that features Kaneda AND DrFrightener is worth a read. Takes me back to the glory days of Pinside.
I just don't understand why everyone keeps falling for the troll-bait. 
My opinion? Halloween is a fun game. I'm guessing Ultraman might be the same.
