Re: Jaws 50th Anniversary or LE ?

In any case it’s the same price as the premium. So at least you get 2 choices for cosmetic look for your money. My Premium is modded too nicely to even consider switching.

Re: What is up with the blue Gi leds ?

Digital cameras are overly sensitive in certain color ranges s well. It looks way worse in pics than real life.. but still bad haha.

Re: Harry Potter Collector's Edition art revealed

I'm holding judgement until we see ACTUAL art from production machines. My guess is these display samples (a.k.a. prototypes) were likely done by AI to get production going while art was still being developed/finalized. There's already a picture of real CE art that shows the dragon is in fact drawn ...

Re: Harry Potter Collector's Edition art revealed

Yeah it’s probably not controversial to say that the multimorphic folks are way cooler in every possible way than JJP. They are - but get no love from pinheads. It's too "different" lol. MM staff are all super geeks - in a good way. I think the P3 is cool and most modules are super fun. None that I' ...

Real easy to do too - albeit a bit time consuming. The light strings are 15-20$ on Amazon.

Hand drawn is not entirely true regardless. They use digital tablets.

I know for sure that Multimorphic's Portal artist (Brad Albright) still does it by hand. ON CANVAS!

Re: Harry Potter Collector's Edition art revealed

I didn't mean to sound confrontational. Seriously. Pretty much everyone I know don't go scouring threads of games that have absolutely no appeal to them - what's the point? I don't like Venom, UXM, JW, and many others. why would I spend time on those threads since the games don't appeal to me. If it ...

Re: Harry Potter Collector's Edition art revealed

I love how someone makes an assumption and then it takes off getting repeated as fact. It’s an opinion from a known JJP hater. I’d take his opinion with a grain of salt. We know why you hate the game though and it has nothing to do with the art. You’re allowed to dislike it. Just be honest. No need t ...

Re: Canadian Pinball Museum, grand opening

Cool. I do have a working one in a working megatouch but would rather keep that game intact. It was my dad’s (who passed away 1 year ago) and all his Highscores are still in the game. It’s nostalgic for me.

Looking for 1-2 13” CRT monitors. Anything smaller than 19” tbh. Want to make 2 bartop games (vertical and horizontal). Using a crt tv can work but not as crisp as a real monitor.

Not trying to start a holy war here. There's enough polarizing attitudes in politics I can't believe we, as a society, are now applying to arts as well. You know, the old "if you aren't with us then you are against us". It's not about supporting fiends and family OR the HP fiction. Most people ...

Re: Harry Potter Collector's Edition art revealed

I hate that it gets associated with the original artist. The story itself is about demonstrating how intolerance and bigotry is wrong. Yet the creator is an intolerant homophobe herself.

She’s already been paid no matter what. I hope JJP has a hit. They’ve been hitting below par lately.
