Still looking for a perfect HUO Family Guy for a local friendAnyone want to sell theirs to finance another game?Just email me and we will set it up ...Pat Lawlor is still making the best Stern games

Didn't this guy JUST blast Stern for bad looking games? He also, during his radio show, said he bought a FG new in box. It was on order. What happened to that game? I suspect another lie

********************************Thanks to Cliff Piel for the perfect CH-Terminator 2Virginia Bull has an ultra mint Monster Bash coming from CH later this monthGary/Arizona has a perfect Whitewater and Totan coming from Mathews, NC as wellTeam CH is having their most productive year ever

Not sure why that matters, but congrats to CH, I guess.

****************************************Will be out of town for a few days (family issue)

Who gives a rat's ass? This guy is acting like the nightly news anchor is taking a vacation.

Question: Why is it OK for a "respected" person in the hobby like Mr. Korn to slam a great game like RBION, but if someone from the HEP wing of the hobby takes a shot at a Stern dog, all heck breaks loose?

So, HEP is high end pins. CH owns HEP. People who buy games and have them restored by HEP pay a high premuim. Often higher than a brand new game (sometimes 2-3 times or more). These guys are expecting to get some kind of special pass because they throw money around. Gary is just proving he is another rich kid bitching at the people he wish he could hang with.

Who died and left the freaks the deciders as to what is good and bad?The fact is that the artwork on the Stern's continues to be a major problem with the games. They tend to play nicely, but some of the plastics, translites and side art are so bad that the games look laughable next to a classic HEP WMS remake.

OK, so Korn took some shots at a game, Gary takes some himself. Now why is it that he is bitching again?

WPT for example ... or look at the Goblin on Spiderman ... how about the apron decals on Elvis ... or the translite on Family Guy ... how about the cabinet art on NascarThat's professional stuff?Meanwhile, if John P. can put so many features in a silly Zizzle game for $200, why are the Stern games as stripped down as they seem to be at 20 times the price?

Oh my freaking god. This fucking idiot just compared a Zizzle game bought at Costco for $200 to a coin operated game selling for $4k? This guy honestly thinks you can compare the two. He is truly clueless.

Something is wrong in the equation.buy a Spiderman or another new Stern game, but expect to find what I have when you go to sell them ... massive depreciationyour opinion may vary from mine ...talk to you in a few days ...

EVERY game sinks in value. WMS games did not start going back up in value until after they closed production. Simple fact that gary ignors. Imagine that.

More news updates coming soonIn the hobby where an independent opinion makes you some kind of bad guyBetter think like the group or else

Gary Cubeta tends to ignore that a lot of people have different opinions, but he is the only one who can't get along with everyone else. Poor, poor, Gary. Soooo misunderstood.

....Ohhhh ... how dare one offer a negative opinion on a Stern gameOnly the great and powerful "Korn" is allowed to do thatgary/arizona

This is his next pot-shot at Clay's radio show which has the tech side done by Korn. Clay and Korn kicked Gary's ass and now it is time for the lame shots.

Video of Stern Spiderman releasedOnce again, surprising ... hopefully this is not the future of our hobby

remember- this guy HATES the designer Steve Richie for calling him out on his lies about WPT pinball and the op sytem in it. He has no pinball knowledge and Steve called him out on it.

If they are going to license Spiderman, where is Tobey Mcguire? At least with T3 they got the full license and cooperation from Arnold ... Wether you like him or not, Tobey is very much a part of the Spiderman franchise.

Wow, this guy is a freaking idiot. Every pinball machine that put the actor's face from the movie gets a big thumbs DOWN from people that own it. Spidey isn't an actor. It's a comic. Asking for his face just shows you how out of touch this guy is and a lame attack on the designer.

During the movie they even have him unmasked during many Spiderman scenes.Pay $4300 for this?You have got to be kidding me ...The playfield looks like a bowling alleyand if there was ever a game to ditch the pixels, it was this onebut your opinion may vary ...

My opinion does vary on the game, but I still think Gary Cubeta is a compelte moron

* Thanks to the GREAT Cliff Piel for selling me his awesome CH T2 ... great guy to do business with ... Cliff had without a doubt the finest T2 in the country and now it sits safe and sound, protected forever here in Arizona

FYI- "protecting" means never playing these games. Most pinball collectors can play. Gary cannot, but likes buying furniture.

*For those of you asking, the Virginia Bull is very busy with his landscaping business in Virginia ... look for the Bull to return to RGP and the radio this fall

No one was asking, thanks. His attacks on the great people in the hobby is sad. Gary NEEDS someone who knows something about pinball to talk to. Both are newbies, but his boyfriend "the bull" knows enough to be dangerous.

*CH very busy with restorations ... currently about 60-70 games backlogged ... looking forward to my Whitewater, Totan, Judge Dredd, STTNG, Rollergames, AFM and Banzai Run, all coming soon from the King ... I am now the proud owner of 11 CH games (not counting those listed above) and looking forward to these and more ...

FYI- Gary has a love affair with a pinball restorer he calls "CH". When you collect furniture, you better buy the most expensive, best looking you can.

*David Schulpius is working on a 3 play Gottlieb special for me as well ... Spiderman, Black Hole and Haunted House all with repaint, clearcoat, new everything ... looking forward to delivery this fall ... David is one of the finest this hobby has to over ... honesty always with Dr. DS

* The Great Jeff Mcafee is alive and well as I spoke with him recently ... he is without a doubt one of my favorites in the hobby ... honest guy to do business with ... thanks for everything Jeff

It was about a month ago that Gary had a nice flame fest with Jeff. He stabbed him in the back and Jeff called him out. Gary is kissing his ass now in hopes he can get on this supplier's good side.

*It will be interesting to see how Spiderman does ... everyone gets excited about new Stern pins and then behind the scenes my email box is filled with people trying to sell them to me after they seem to get quickly bored ... I still think Stern makes a great playing game, but I'm not crazy about the people running that show ... too PC for me ... and the artwork doesn't match up to the great WMS games ... too many pixels to part with $4000

This moron can't understand that WMS went out of business because they couldn't make money. Stern is still in biz making money in a tough market. He can't stand Spiderman because the designer of that game really can't stand him and the lies he posts on the net. Steve Richie (the designer) knows exactly what this moron is all about.

plus***************************Shocking Announcement:****************Word came down today from the Virginia Bull RGP Radio Network returns to the airwaves11-1-2007More information soon to comeNo guests, just controversy and truth

read that again- NO GUESTS (changes his mind later), just a jerk off festival with two guys who hate 99% of the people who make up this great hobby.

Can't be bothered with lining up guests ...Let Clay ask the softball questionsThe hobby is all but gone with the man who likes to wear odd wigs running the showFor those of you asking, I will never post on RGP again

That above will be proven a lie

... I don't read it ...

That is also a lie

It's just a bunch of internet time wasters that would rather type than work ... Meanwhile, we get so many hits here, more people read my stuff than ever before ... we took over the hobby with our radio and now I still get to say what I want and everyone is reading and waiting for the return of the Virginia Bull and his radio power smashing the internet freaksThanks Everyone !!!

end of this rant...more to come, I'm sure

Intro

Why this blog?

Gary Cubeta is a nearly insane pinball "collector" in Scotsdale, AZ. He has terrorized a great newsgroup RGP (rec.games.pinball) with troll qualities. He knows little of pinball and how a hobby is supposed to work. Instead, he keeps spreading hate and anger amonst the hobby.

Gary decided to take his bile to the internet "airwaves" and have a pinball based show. It started good enough with some interviews and such, but soon turned into a hate filled show blasting everyone that wasn't him or his agenda.

His show crashed and burned, he left RGP claiming never to return, he kept his web page to use it as a way to post his garbage without people being able to respond. Sort of a cheap shot from behind his keyboard.

This blog is only to post his ever-changing pages with some clarity in his insane rants. Enjoy.
