Quoted from Rush1169:

Wizard of Oz, theme aside, is the best pinball machine in the history of the world. I'm serious. However, if JJP does with TH what they've done only so far with WOZ, then the title won't last long.

I'm actually with you on that. I spent a day this week at the Silverball Museum in Asbury Park. Played most of the top ten machines (as rated by this site and on the IPDB). After owning a WOZ for over a month, the other machines seemed too easy and just quaint, old-fashioned. I left before my two hours were up so I could go home and play my WOZ. WOZ is to the DMD display machines of the last couple decades, as the DMD machines were to the EM machines that preceded the SS machines. It's a giant leap forward in technology and pinballing. The haters, for the most part, are people that just don't own one yet.

Quoted from Aurich:

You know, it's possible to admire what JJP has done without actually wanting to own the machine. The music alone makes it certain that I'll never shell out that much cash for one, I was going slightly nuts just watching that video. The call outs get really old too, basically the whole sound package is pretty irritating. I played it at Expo, and I'd like to play it more, I wish someone I played with regularly owned one so I could mooch. But it's not for my home.
That doesn't make me a "hater", can we drop the labels?

You really don't notice the callouts that much, and as stated previously, with each iteration of software it becomes less and less repetitive, just as the music is becoming more varied as well. And you'll notice I said "for the most part" when talking about haters. You, obviously, are not one since you don't hate the machine. I'm talking about the people that can't find anything good to say about it when it's clearly a work of art. So the labels stay, I'm afraid, because I calls 'em as I sees 'em!

PS - I'm pretty sure if you were able to mooch off someone, you'd eventually come around to the dark side and buy your own...and you're welcome to visit anytime!

Quoted from Aurich:

I don't mind the theme. I think the slipper flippers are clever. Anyone who thinks Wizard of Oz isn't manly or something needs to get a life.
But none of you can talk away the sounds. I've played it. I played it last Saturday, dunno if the Expo machines were 1.21 or 1.22 code, I sucked at it and didn't get very far. Would I like to try more? Hell yes, definitely. But I'm just not paying eight thousand dollars for something that plays that music and to listen to the Scarecrow telling me to make haste all the time, it's just not for me. Sound is a super important part of pinball for me.
Frankly I kind of hope I don't like the Hobbit too, because I'm afraid I'll want it and I don't even want to know how damn expensive it will be by the time it's released. I can't justify these prices for games. Once you pass the low $6k it's just too much to swallow, whether or not I have the cash in hand.

See? You're not a hater at all! You were playing 1.22 last weekend - I just put it on my machine and it's brilliant. While I can see where you're coming from with the callouts, I just want to tell you that your mind only focuses on the callouts the first few times you play it. After a while it just becomes background noise that blends in with the music. And as I said before, the callouts and music are becoming much more varied so that it's not monotonous. I wish you lived closer to Jersey...I'd have to convert you!

Quoted from Rush1169:

Find the girly movie: Star Trek : Into the Darkness, The Matrix, You've Got Mail, or The Godfather

Actually, I was thinking either Star Trek or The Matrix. At least people who go see You've Got Mail can get a date.

Quoted from mechslave:

There is really nothing like this machine. Nothing compares.
I played the new code last night, had a couple of modes/multis stacked with the new CB modes and it's just genius stuff.
No Hold Flippers, where have you been? Forcing you to simply MAKE shots during a multiball is one of the best modes ever, no holding and passing and methodical (ZzzZZzzz) play, but simply 'how good are you at flailing?' I flailed 4 balls into 4 different shots and it was just glorious. Such a fresh feeling to play. I only had time for a short session so I never got the Reversed Flippers mode, but the No Hold and Weak Flipper modes were absolutely awesome and are two of the most interesting modes I've played in many years.
I feel sorry for the (cue Poindexter-ish voice, cause that's how I hear these in my head) "But I played it a couple times on location and at a show, where I could barely hear anything or concentrate on what was going on, but in my first 3 games I decided I wasn't being satisfied properly, which confirmed what I always knew I'd feel about the machine since before I ever saw it, that I don't like it and knew I never would" people.
Eventually I think nearly every player who allows themselves to be immersed in this machine and hungers for new and inventive pinball play will be drawn to WOZ. Because there's absolutely nothing like it in pinball right now. Pinball has taken a giant step forward... finally.

OMG, I love you for saying that...

It means more coming from somebody who owns 18 machines.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks!

If I could only find the 1.22 code. All I see is the 1.21. Sorry some of us are a little slow
