    Aurich, no interest in a Marilyn Manson pitch next? I'd be extremely excited....not so much many other pinheads. Haha

    Stern Marilyn Manson LE, Premium and Pro. Nope, can't see it happening right now.

    Unfortunately I don't have the power to start threads that magically make pins appear!

    I'll admit though that I really don't know anything about Marilyn Manson, not exactly in my wheelhouse.

    Haha I was awaiting a response like that.

    Ps the whole American "wheelhouse" thing is lost on me. Hear it a lot from the guys on Broken Token podcast.

    Idioms are tricky! I ran into that with Robin, I said "table", which means to set aside for now, and he had no idea what I meant. His English is excellent, in writing and in person, but the cultural meanings of words is very tricky.

    I'm guessing you grasped the meaning, but something not being in your wheelhouse means outside your area of expertise. And I have no freaking idea where that expression even comes from.

    Haha yes, just Googled it....whenever it was originally mentioned, I thought wheelhouse was an imagined dream room full of your most prized possessions. E.g. a log cabin, with a bar and rows of pinball machines.

    Nautical reference. The wheelhouse is where the boat pilot would sit. Usually a very experienced and trusted crew member. Not your greenhorn.

    Could also be a baseball reference. The wheelhouse is the sweet spot for hitting the baseball but I think the former definition applies here.

    Quoted from Aurich:

    Pulling for Chuck to knock this one out. I'm sure it won't match my pitch, Spooky has to find their own vision, but I'm still glad to see someone making the game.

    Resurrecting this thread because of how well it seems to be matching your original pitch.

    A unique art style, toys and modes that focus on encompassing more than just his music, having the game be narrated by him, etc etc.

    Talk about a pinball zombie from beyond the grave, this thread just won't die!

    I dunno that it's really useful to look at it since there's a real game now, but it's pretty cool that it happened.
