As you can tell from my avatar, I've been patiently awaiting a gameplay video of this thing

That's when the game goes into production. What does this have to do with that? Want the inside source? Call Stern's main number, hit 0, and ask for Jim Belt. He'll tell you the same thing

All he said is there would be a video by the 11th, maybe they bumped it up sooner because of the obvious ruckus that has been going on, either way, I guess it's coming soon.

Which id like to know where the official Dead Flip announcement is posted about the 4th? Can't seem to find it on his Twitter, FB, or Twitch page- so I was wondering where this info came from?

Yeah I ended up catching it yesterday around the 14:00 mark its mentioned- stoked!

If mag slings sent a ball SDTM, I cant tell you how disappointed and pissed i'll be. One thing normal slingshots never do, is throw a ball down the middle. Throw it in an outlane? Yeah... but never down the middle.. that would piss me off like no other.

11. I would look like your avatar

Agreed, if you want to be taken seriously as an online streamer of anything, at least get the audio right. It was pretty bad.

The center drains are already insane as reported by those who posted audit results- lots of shots end up with SDTMs.. we definitely don't need magnets in the slingshot position throwing another un-savable SDTM shot on us. Then again we'll see tonight on the stream include of drawing conclusions now I guess

Maybe during multiball as the slings switches need to be hit first to energize the magnets. A ball headed SDTM and not turning on the slings wont do much - maybe have something in the code that when the Ghost standup target is hit, and the ball starts its quick trip to the center drain as it does on the Pro- energize/pulse magnets for 2 seconds? That would be fun

Yes exactly.. BUT.. the magnets can be turned on it code, and not just switches if they want is my point.

They could code in magnet pulses at the slings after a hit is registered on the Ghost target, which could prevent an SDTM as the magnets could 'catch' the ball on the way down. I think you misunderstood what I was saying.

Basically if you go into any hip/cool/trendy craft brewery and/or pub, look around at the male patrons and you will see what a "Jack Danger" is

Although I like Dead Flip's streams, he typically has a crappy top down shot of the playfield and a big video feed of his mug instead on the screen- I think it would be best to shrink the selfie video feed, and have two angles of gameplay instead

He needs to do it like the Canadian guys did it, then he can put his HipsterCam® right where the logo is for "The Canadian Arcade" - then his stream would be great, like this:

Yep, someone was on there as me too.. not cool at all..

Although you cant really make out the hologram/ecto goggles, this game looks awesome. The roaming slimmer is so much better then the "tea bagging" version on the Pro, the subway lock looks cool, and the magnaslings work much better then I was expecting, and tone down the craziness you see in the Pro version.

Also, the left ramp looks awesome and it does appear the right ramp is easier to hit- but I could be wrong on that. Looks like a great game and the flipper gap doesn't look nearly as bad of a disadvantage on this version.

Cant wait for my LE

The magnet slings are a total success in my opinion! From how they light up when activated, to the sounds they make and how they work- I'm super impressed. I just watched JD hit a killer game and the right sling even flicked the ball into the scoop to get an extra ball.

No doubt the features on the Prem/LE significantly enhance the gameplay on this machine. Very very happy with my purchase right now.

It kind of reminds me of trying to hit the Galactic Away Teams shot (when holding up the 3rd flipper) on my ST LE. Very hard, but feels great when you finally land it cleanly.

Makes me think they really did design those outlanes for the mag slings- because it looks very balanced now, and the Pro slings are very brutal with those outlanes

What were you expecting the goggles to do? Have some type of hologram pop out of the screen and blow a kiss to you? It is everything I expected from it, and what Stern made it out to be. I like the idea of adding some cool flare to the shot, and it is very unique and refreshing to see them try something like this in a pinball machine, as recent ones haven't implemented anything like this. This is better then the WOZ crystal ball as the image is interactive and not just a secondary informative display, which the WOZ one really never gets noticed during gameplay.

I know GB didn't come with a color LCD screen, but seeing Jackpots, ghosts, etc in the ecto goggles in full color is awesome and you don't even need to take your eyes off the gameplay to see some of the info.

The gameplay yesterday made it clear why the Premium is called "Premium" and it commands a higher price, because its the complete game and you get your money's worth over the pro version, period.
