Not in the expo schedule.
did I miss the boat on something?
I see on PLD web site that he is making his own CPU boards. Did he
branch off on his own or are those just for his redemption games?

He designed Stern's latest game "CSI" due out at the end of October.

I thought 24 was next?
- Dan
Who knows.....(I sure dont). Some once thought that CSI would be
released right before Dark Night and I think PL was working on CSI in
the later part of 2007 and somehow release got pushed forward.
Anything is possible now.
--Eric
Nope. CSI at the end of October and then 24 at the end of December to
coincide with both shows new seasons.
Didn't Pat Lawlor quit the board with Stern cause he didn't agree on
Sterns' new filosofy? Can anybody confirm this actually? Did anyone
talke with Pat about this?

He quit.

Have a home video that's trapped on your camera? Want to share it on the

What is the new philosophy? That pinball is not just for drunks in
bars?

Although I am burned out on Law and order..csi and the others , I am
sure the pin will be a cool layout, although topping FGY will indeed
be a challenge. Whats' this Pat resigned????
In Lawlor's defense.
Look at what the man has created in pins...
He constantly was pushing for new innovations and "bigger and better"
as much as possible.
You might not like TZ but man that was one hell of an innovative
design.
I could see why he just got tired of working w/ Stern's low budget/non
innovation policy.
Pat is/was an artist,not a hack who could just be content to spit out
mediocre designs.
Like it or not Pat Lawlor designs drove most of the innovation and YES
success of the DMD era of pins.
Am I surprised that he fell out w/ Gary Stern...not at all
The two men couldn't be further apart in what they aim to achieve in
the pinball world.
Be thankful you got what designs from Pat that you did!
>> He quit.

> What?!?!?!?!?
He quit/resigned/parted company with/whatever other term you want to use.
How is it that you know everything? What's going on at the State
Department lately, where's Jimmy Hoffa, who shot JR and will they ever
film The Hobbit??
24 is next but not sure if a Dec. release or early 2009.

I used a tunnel to socket in to the firewall via the stack. After that, I
used a VPN schematic to hack the hash table which got me access to the
matrix. Finally, after using a simple beyer algorithm combined with a red-
black tree, I could see and know everything! :)
</24-speak>
I don't entiirely disagree, but if you'd heard him spout off at Expo
'07, you might think differently about Pat's philosophy.
Why doesn't PL just start his own pinball company? He has the ability
to make whitewoods, so just farm out the manufacturing.

It's so simple!
Farm out to who...Stern?

I was think about this the other day. I'm just glad I was able to buy
what might be his last, and arguably one of his best, pinball machines
FG.
Don't other manufacturers farm out subassemblies and such? Why does it
have to be a pinball manufacturer?
-Tom
Pinball Basics DVD
What is he planning to do now? From what I can see his business has
only designed machines for Stern, pinball and one redemption.
Jon
bah
He's just as good or bad as any other designer, with his share of
flops.
I own BR and will get a FG eventually, but still think TZ and AF are
vastly overrated.
I think most of his designs are overcluttered messes.
But to each his own!

Only someone who thinks our moronic government could pull off a
"truthers" fantasy believes it's this easy to make pinball machines.
Korn, that is deep!!
He also wants royalties.

His innovation will be sorely missed, and his playfield layout skills
were matched by one or two that are at the helm designing games right
now.

You're right, Ford has excess capacity at their plant on Torrence Ave.
In addition to what Lloyd just said, a Pinball start-up is a lawyers
dream and a designers nightmare: A real minefield of patents, marks and
other legalities to get bogged-down in. Who needs that? John Popaduik
tried (I don't know how far he got) and that came to nothing.
I'd give Pat a job, but I'm afraid he might bring Rudy along and Rudy
freaks me out big time! ;-)

Can you imagine that? Union wages and a pin in every dealership. Cool.
I was thinking of having China make them.

Is China gonna make a complete boardset? Are they going to know how to
assemble a pinball machine?
Do you really think it's that simple!? This isn't like emailing a PDF
to Kinkos!
Pat can't just design a playfield and have some people produce it for
him. But hey, why not give it a shot? Offer to "farm out" the from-
scratch production of a pinball machine for Pat Lawlor, maybe you guys
can cut a deal.
Isn't filosofy a Greek bread?

Maybe pigs will fly and shit $100 bills on all of us.
Bacon's gone up.
No, feelawful is a Greek bread.
A guy can only hope. :-)
One more day untill the big unveiling at Expo with an anouncement.
Future kits .....hmmmm......
mmn, sounds like another bet you won't follow through on!
The pigs have already flown (BBB). However, I heard nothing regarding
the $100 bills.
Jon
That can't be from 24 because it did not include the word "protocol."
Isn't this what he was doing with Stern??
I'd rather send a deposit to Pat than that "company" down under.
Didn't Zaccaria make a pinball machine with that name?
Cadbury, Cadbury, Cadbury it's a Chocolate bar!
Easily my favorite designer it will be unfortunate if he is done with
pinball design.
His batting average is pretty great if you aske me; ES, WW, FH, BR,
TAF, TZ, SC, NGG, FGY, etc.etc.
Like I said, tell me where to send the cash.
Maybe what we need is a new direction. Simplify and make the games
more durable. Easier to assemble and less complicated. We already know
that complex does not equal fun. I don't remember EMs being that
difficult to assemble.
Maybe with your negativity, nothing will happen.

I thought this was all common knowledge, at least to us Quantum
Leapers:
What's going on at the State Department lately - they're wondering
if their paychecks are going to clear, just like everyone else
where's Jimmy Hoffa - 6 feet under in one of the end zones in the
Meadowlands
who shot JR- I THINK it was Sue Ellen, but it didn't matter since it
turned out to all be a stupid dream
will they ever film The Hobbit?? - NO
So, If indeed Pat is done with pinball.....Do you think we can finally
have an answer to the *RED PANIC BUTTON* on most of his games???!!!???
Actually yes, scheduled for 2011.
