he would probably arm bar you in 3 seconds anyway and have u on the ground calling for mother.

why would you want to hit the guy who saved pinball world wide ? [text removed]

I think it would be a great idea speaking to the man who has put pinball back on the map n modernised everything n everthing he can about Pinball which we all get the benefit off. Wish I could ask him what the next 5 titles were going to be etc.....

it was a joke, not a insult. we see each other often at the nut house whilst we receive shock therapy and those head electrode things doused in water.lol

just a joke Nick.

CC knows we are just joking on here. nothing serious. our medications don't allow us to get serious. we just take the piss n have fun.

CC, I will whack Gary for you, but u need to supply a CC costume complete with perfect facial features so he sends his bodyguards after you once I take off the getaway costume.lol

We're a small enough forum where we should be able to all get along or at least be able to have a stir and leave it at that. This forum is a breath of fresh air that everyone isn't always at each other's throats and we can just talk about pinball.

I'd like to get to the Stern event, but another year where I'm heading away either side of the event and don't have the cash for a Sydney trip. Maybe next year as I always seem to say!

There's really no constructive point in meeting stern and chatting uselessly about stuff he'll choose to ignore......you're only gonna massage his ego, NOT twist his mind about making better games or themes that YOU want.
It's best that nobody massages his ego as it'll only encourage him to release more CRAP games instead of good ones.

I find it hilarious that people want to meet someone like that, thinking somethings gonna rub off onto you, he's absolutely not a hero, nor is he magic, nor will your life improve after meeting with him......same goes for meeting fake hollywood types too.... sheesh.

Cow Corner, if i ever have the displeasure of meeting Gary, i'll thump him for free.  :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

The man is getting on in his years. God forbid he doesn't live another 20 years, but I personally would like to be able to say I met the man.

He kept pinball alive. That in its-self to me is worth a smile and a handshake.

He could be at a golfcourse 7 days a week in Florida, but the man has passion and he still is bringing fun to many thousands of homes. Yes I am a blatant Stern Fan, but brand names aside, being a business owner all my life (no work equals no eat) I like the way the man has kept on going forward n nothing has stopped him to date.

I can respect the man for that alone. You are right, he is not magic or a hero, just a normal bloke, but when my 4 year old son plays X Men Pro and absolutely loves it, Gary could put on a super hero costume n my son would love to meet the man, as would I.
Horses for courses.

Its okay, some will go, others will not. There is no right or wrong answer here.
Its just pinball.
