    Quoted from Sammy31:

    Yes he should have been ejected. Good call by the moderators.
    His comments attacked anyone that believes in religion.
    Saying you think the pinball theme is lame is
    one thing. But denigrating someones faith by calling it fictitious is another thing. I hope you can see the difference.

    I think some of you people are a bunch of babies and are way too sensitive for grown ass men. I am Christian and it didn’t bother me one bit. It doesn’t change my faith at all. Talk to God about it when you meet him if my faith is riotous. The Bible never says to get all pissy when someone rejects it. It says to knock the dust off you sandals and walk away. Having someone banned because you don’t like what they say is a bitch move in my opinion.

    I guess the grey area here is we really need a solid definition of what religion is.

    One definition is-

    "a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance."

    #154 6 years ago

    Would Wrath of Olympus be considered a religous pin? Its based on gods and such.

    Quoted from o-din:

    They sent me to a Catholic military school and I'm not even Catholic. Heck, I don't even know what we were. Protestant, Presbyterian, Lutheran, who knows. We went to any and whatever churches were in the neighborhood.
    But that military school took us to a Jewish Synagogue on a field trip and I did take note of those rolled up scrolls.

    Catholic school and you aren't Catholic then Military school. Only a few street fighting badasses in the public school I went to fit that description. One of them even layed out one of the tuff guy gym teachers. He was legendary!
    Is your real name Buddy Revell?

    Let's put it this way.

    When the other kid's say "If you aren't Catholic, then what are you?" You probably best have a better answer than "Protestant, I think"

    #159 6 years ago

    Yeah, I like Ben but no thanks.

    #160 6 years ago

    I’d massively prefer his Tesla/Edison theme — that was originally his right? That’s one I’d put more $$ towards.. could be such a killer theme

    I threw a guy through a school window once. Does that count for anything?

    The son in law?

    I pissed off a couple nuns, does that count?

    Or "Jason and the Argonauts" .

    #165 6 years ago

    Is this game religious in nature? If so, I'm in trouble.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    The son in law?

    Lol I shoulda done that when I first met him but then I wouldn’t have JoJo. No,in high school some dipshit jumped into me because, believe it or not, someone told him I said something about his mother. He wouldn’t quit so I knocked him on the ground then picked him up and threw him into the window at the entrance of the school. He didn’t actually go through it but he was done. I have to be really angry before I fight and he just pissed me off in just the right way.

    Quoted from o-din:

    I pissed off a couple nuns, does that count?

    My father was sent to Catholic school and a nun went to smack him and he stabbed her in the tit with a pencil. He wasn’t in Catholic school anymore. True story, my grandmother was the one who told me the story.

    Or maybe Dante's Inferno? Bible Adventures just sounds so Sunday school.

    #172 6 years ago

    Doesn't surprise me, EVERYTHING that guy says is either stupid or a lie, or both.

    Quoted from fisherdaman:

    Never seen someone ejected that quickly. It's almost like religion is a touchy subject.

    SUPER offensive. Someone should pound a nail through you.

    Every playfield will be tested by some Roman pounding a nail through it.

    I would imagine a license could be difficult assuming Edison and Tesla estates have licensing unlike Houdini.

    IT WAS A DEEPROOT PLAYFIELD JOKE!!!

    Hahaha, yep there is no doubt in my mind that happened James!

    #184 6 years ago

    This can’t be real....can it?!?? Just wow. Nothing more to say.

    #185 6 years ago
    Quoted from DCFAN:

    I could imagine a license could be difficult assuming Edison and Tesla have licensing unlike Houdini.

    Do they? I could see Edison as he put his name on everything but Tesla on the other hand was a pretty cool dude. Hmm now I’m curious

    Quoted from Stones:

    My turrets comes out pretty bad while playing pinball.

    Stones...thank you for your statement. I thought I was the only one that would go Coprolalia on machines. Totally understand. It is tough in crowds and I always stay away from tournaments.

    but Deep Root nonsense had him reconsider.

    Can you elaborate? Has Deeproot anything to do with ben ?

    Quoted from Edenecho:

    Check out the deep root thread.
    The pompous spokesperson was interviewed and stated they are working on a similar themed machine.

    #190 6 years ago

    No, but I'd definitely fund this pin:

    Quoted from Edenecho:

    Can you elaborate? Has Deeproot anything to do with ben ?

    DR was interviewed by TWIP where they stated they were thinking of doing a very similar pinball as Ben. Turd move for sure.

    http://thisweekinpinball.com (deeproot)

    TWIP: About a year ago on Pinside, Ben Heck was discussing Bible Adventures and you mentioned “Already spoken for, friend”. Do you plan to make a Bible Adventures theme?

    RM: So back in mid 2015 when I was working with Ben and Charlie, Ben wanted to do a Bible Adventures game and Charlie was like…no. So Ben and I started talking about ideas and it became clear that we had two very different takes on the theme. I have not spoken to Ben since. About a year ago, I started designing Fire & Brimstone layout, mechs, and rulesets. It will be the first religious pinball of its kind. We have partnered with Kingstone for the artwork and collaborative Christian marketing. We wanted a grittier take on the Old Testament stories that Kingstone has done so well with. We intend for Fire & Brimstone to be enjoyed by people of all denominations or faiths (Christian, Non-Denominational, Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, LDS), or no faith at all.

    TWIP: Will Fire and Brimstone be deeproot’s first title?

    RM: We won’t have a ‘first’ title in that sense. Our primary priority is making great games internally, then taking care of the Zidware customers, then launch.

    TWIP: You are the designer?

    RM: I came up with and have spearheaded the design, but a lot of elements have been very collaborative. I have intentionally enforced a very collaborative environment here. I don’t want the old secretive, cutthroat WB dysfunction in our organization.

    TWIP: Is it a “mode based” game, playing through different stories from the Old Testament?

    RM: I hope everyone will be able to play it in the way that most satisfies them.

    TWIP: Did you see the recent picture Ben Heck posted in the Pinside Bible Adventures Pinball Discussion thread of a foam core with a rotating scoop?

    RM: Yes. We have already come up with some similar elements, and many more. I look forward to seeing what Ben can do with his version. He’s a brilliant and talented guy.

    Whatever JPOP and the assholes at Deep Root do won’t compare to Ben. I would love to see the Red Sea mech Ben designed

    #194 6 years ago

    With many of us being on Ben's side of this situation with DR, I wonder how will DR sell the machine if no one buys it because we are faithful to @benheck.

    They've got to make the machine first before they can sell it...

    Same as how everyone bitches about code and price increases with decreased quality of Stern's then line up to buy them when they are announced

    Quoted from fosaisu:

    Truth. Deeproot is selling hot air.

    #198 6 years ago

    As per the poll, unless there is some miraculous turnaround this is gonna be a looser.

    Although, I have an oil stain in my driveway that looks like an image of pinball machine--so that may be a good omen...

    #199 6 years ago

    Perhaps Deeproot spared Ben wasting his time on this if the market isn’t there.

    #200 6 years ago

    Bible would sell less than Jetsons.
