TWIPY Awards 2019

[Sako-TRG]

Looks like JP cleared up.
Best Topper BKSOR - deserved
Best Mod - that Amber JP shooter rod - wow - anyone got one?

 

[Paul]

Pfft.... Pinside won the Website award......

 

[Epotech]

JP is the greatest game of all time. Well deserved.

 

[Tilt_Birmingham]

JP is the greatest game of all time. Well deserved.

Agreed! Can't wait for Elwin's next machine whenever that maybe now

 

[Wayne J]

Wonka won a lot more than I expected.
Best game 2 years in a row goes to Elwin, can he make it a hat trick, and more importantly will I have saved enough to buy his next release?

 

[Sako-TRG]

I would have loved a JP - Mrs said no, she doesn’t like dinosaurs FFS

 

[JWG9999]

Since we're all self isolating anyway, I might as well stand by myself in the corner of the room and say I was really pleased that The Munsters won best art. I'm kinda fond of The Munsters.

 

[Sako-TRG]

I’ve never played it but I have to say, I agree, the art is outstanding on Munsters - I congratulated the man himself earlier

I don't get the super love for JP2, I find it frustrating, maybe because I'm not a great player but I just never get that "love that shot" feeling from it.

Regards,
Neil.

 

[steve brum]

I'm at last gettimg a chance to actually PLAY JP2 . Its not as frustrating as BKSOR !

 

[M4carp]

I didn’t enjoy it either when I played it on location, only had a few games. Did nothing for me.

 

[Sako-TRG]

I'm at last gettimg a chance to actually PLAY JP2 . Its not as frustrating as BKSOR !

I would have loved BKSOR also, but alas, I could tell by the numerous vids that I watched, it would be way too challenging for my expertise

 

[Deleted member 2463]

BK:SOR I love though, the music, the shots they are awesome

You could pretty much guess each winner before they were announced and probably deservedly do. The only one I didn't agree with was "Best Animations and Display". Surely the effort gone into something like BKSOR or JP2 from an animation point of view is far greater than video assets inserted into Wonka and one screen of a 'factory' with an Umpa Lumpa walking past.

Disappointed not to see Homepin on there with Chinese Zombies.
