Stern Metallica

[Menace]

they need to promote Lyman, relieve him of the actual coding, and make him "VP of gaming rules" or something. Oversee all the rules and stuff. Tell the lower ranked guys what is working and what needs to be changed.

That assumes Lyman would actually want to do that kind of work. A lot of times promotions mean getting to do less of the work that you actually enjoy doing. I would hope that they're at least letting Lyman informally review or make suggestions.

And such a promotion would tend to involve a salary increase (at least one would assume) but I highly doubt Gary would be willing to do that at this point.

With Lyman at the helm, gotta say I'm interested.

Well I'm officially screwed.

If gameplay and rules are strong, this looks like a must buy. :FP: :FP: :FP:

Software is all that matters

ACDC from a layout perspective is nothing special and it is an amazing game.

Xmen on the other hand has an amazing layout and shot map, but sucks because of software.

The fact that the video was released on my birthday is definitely an omen.

Aarrrrrgggghhhhh

 

[REVOLUTION]

I think a lot of people were hoping this game would be kind of lame, so everyone could focus on star trek, but seems like a lot of custom stuff in it. and if lyman is coding it, you can't dismiss it at all.

I definitely will not own 2 music pins, so I don't see getting it. this can be great, but it can't take away from what ac/dc is.

New pic. Love the in-line drop targets! Looks like the "hammer" toy is gone though.

Maybe the "hammer" will be an LE exclusive just like a proper lockbar and playfield rails?
