EAG show in London (Hobbit, MMR, Walking Dead, Full Throttle, and some wrestling pile of crap)

It made me feel a bit dodgy when I played it yesterday quite a bit of lurching but the graphics were awesome, there was tilting and shaking as well as wind in your face (unless I imagined it all)

It gave me motion sickness just watching the video! :oops:
 
was it a short fat bloke? really fat, horrheehorr?
if so then it was Frank Boner.

that's him. a great player, it's true, but supremely arrogant and not an ounce of humility. he thinks he is god's gift to pinball.

(you beat me - therefore a fluke, it can't be true, is typical Boner language)
 
God he has put some timber on since that photo was taken. He was a unit at the last pinball party.

Sure has. I had to check twice on the photo linked above as this was the last picture I saw of him.

Apparently John Trudeau confirmed that the WWE wan*fest was going to be a pro model only..
So i'm guessing even Gary Stern realized not many people would want that ****e in their gamesroom, but it sounds like management had another meeting an thought F**k it, let's see how many southern toothless pin collectors we can rape some more money from :)
 
No I wasn't playing with a Boner. His name was Christophe and he said he was a private Stern dealer in Luxembourg or something like that. Sounds James Bondish in a nerdy sort of way
 
Ah, I played Hobbit against that guy from Luxembourg too....

And also a man I recognise from photos - Lukasz was playing, he seemed to like Hobbit, well he kept saying "I like it!"
 
Frank Boner is like one of those names that you get out of a 'what is my pornstar name' generator.
 
Can someone write a whats my pinball name generator?

Ooo, Christophe Lienard. Great bloke, stayed over at his place when I collected a machine off him. :cool:
 
I have heard a lot of different opinions on MMR some people say it's not has good as the original and others say it plays the same and if it never had the Williams logos missing you would think its the same guess I will have to wait and see

What can I say? He lives in Born in Luxemburg next to the German border and it was a really nice place to visit with wonderful weather at the beginning of July back in 2012... He has a great collection of top notch machines. His house reminds me of David Duttons because of the number of floors. :thumbs:
 
And in case I gave the wrong impression, he was nothing but friendly and charming - certainly not arrogant. But eee duz speek wiz an out-raaaaajus Franch accent. The horrheehorr bit may have been only in my imagination...

Twas but a joke ;)
 
I think calling the woz redemption a pile of **** is a bit harsh yes redemption is not aimed at the pin head but can be used or you can just run the 4.1 standard software
but for an operator and a non playing dad or child its great 1 min of play time with the chance to win tickets for prizes is great more chance of keeping people coming back and lets face it we do need operators to buy these pins to keep stern and other companies in business
I must say I was not a woz lover to start with but I have had one for a month or so now with the latest software in it a cracking game but I would say you need to play it for 2 weeks to learn what to do as there is just so much
another positive is that since its launch jack has constantly updated and improved it and improvements are still on going if this was a stern I would have been forgotten about and we would be 3 games further on
not too interested in wrestle mania pants theam and time will tell on the new spike system
full throttle is looking more promising but this was the 3rd launch party we have seen for it and I have not seen one in an arcade or home yet
 
Shame I missed EAG sounds like a great event.

Just left the Heighway guys down at the Pipeline ready for tonight's launch. Played FT and really liked it. Good flow, very fast and nice all round. 48m on first game helped. The Redline band are setting up and it looks like it is again going to be a great night. Had a great chat with Andrew and and their latest recruit Roger Svanevik about EAG and things going forward. All very positive. Really looking forward to Alien which doesn't sound too far away. Best of luck team Heighway.
 
I was looking on the heighway site lastnight checking out the alien info or lack of lol. One thing that does concern me a little is they only give UK customers 4 month warranty but isn't it UK law that everything purchased in the UK electrical stuff and the like come with a 12 month warranty?

from "the Guardian"...

The European Directive 1999/44/EC says all EU countries have to ensure a retailer could be held liable for all "non-conformities" which manifest within two years from delivery.

However, because the Sale of Goods Act (SOGA) meets or exceeds most of the directive's requirements, this overrides the EU directive. The act requires three things: the goods must be as described; they must be of satisfactory quality, which is determined by description, price, durability, freedom from minor defects; and they must be fit for purpose.

Because manufacturers tend to give one year's warranty on goods, retailers will usually push you in their direction if the product breaks inside the first year.

However, SOGA provides cover for goods bought for up to six years – in England and Wales. This means if a TV fails after 13 months, you still have rights. Assuming the item has failed through no fault of yours, and it was "reasonable" to expect it to last longer – given its cost/quality – you should demand, under the Sale of Goods Act, that it be replaced or repaired by the retailed, not the manufacturer. Once the item is six months old, the onus is on you, the consumer, to show the item failed as a result of a manufacturing fault.

That guarantee is fine for operators (B2B Purchases) but will need to be longer where selling to the home market (B2C).

Much like Pinball Heaven's guarantee position.
