Quoted from jonesjb:

One subtle thing I noticed, is that I tend not to prefer ramps with a quick turn around (like on this Elvira and the left ramp on Star Wars). Why? I find that these ramps remove the variance in the ball speed and seem to normalize the ball to a slower, more consistent feed velocity. Not a huge issue or anything.
What do others think?
I've also noticed the movie title "The Brain that Wouldn't Die" (A public domain movie). This suggests there will be a number of film clips from different movies integrated into the gameplay, as per Batman 66. I wonder if we'll see Night of the Living Dead (also in the public Domain).
My guess is that clips may include from this list (from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvira%27s_Movie_Macabre)
s1e01 Night of the Living Dead
s1e02 The Terror
s1e03 The Giant Gila Monster
s1e04 The Brain That Wouldn't Die
s1e05 The Satanic Rites of Dracula
s1e06 Scared to Death
s1e07 The Werewolf of Washington
s1e08 Eegah
s1e09 Teenagers from Outer Space
s1e10 Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
s1e11 I Eat Your Skin
s1e12 Don't Look in the Basement
s1e13 Untamed Women
s1e14 Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter
s1e15 Lady Frankenstein
s1e16 The Manster
s1e18 Tormented
s1e19 Manos: The Hands of Fate
s1e20 Hercules and the Captive Women
s1e21 A Bucket of Blood

Definitely see a few of these titles on the art blades......Brain, Basement, Manos, Bucket....

Quoted from TheLaw:

Only insane people think there are going to be price drops; Stern aint Schooner Tuna

Last place I thought i'd see a subtle Mr. Mom reference

#1887 4 years ago

Cheesy old movies are integral to the design?

TAKE MY MONEY, PLEASE!!!

This is probably as close to the 'MST3K Pinball' of my dreams as I'm ever going to get.

Can't wait for the reveal!

#1957 4 years ago
Quoted from benheck:

I spy "The Giant Gila Monster" and "The Attack of the Giant Leeches" among other movie titles...
....so basically this is an MST3K pin?
See that angle could get me interested in this, more so than drooling over someone my mom's age.

Plus MANOS, The Brain That Wouldn't Die, and a few others.

Yeah, the cheesy old movie angle is what has me really interested.

As close to an MST3K pin as we're ever likely to get.

Quoted from benheck:

Oh my God TORGO is on the backglass!

The master will be pleased

Looks like these are ALL public domain movies from the 2010 season of Elvira's Movie Macabre.

Quoted from FtrMech:

All LEs or just yours?

You thought he meant ALL 400 LE's ship Monday?

#3292 4 years ago
Quoted from Vongoosewink:

My problem with this game is that there is not enough Elvira video onscreen. Everything else I can forgive.
Elvira should have a window in the corner where she is interacting with the player for the ENTIRE game. Laughing at stuff, joking when the player drains, in making funny comments, in general looking attractive and interested in what's going on.

For the right price, Cassandra will personally come to your house and sit there while you play. It'll be just like MST3K Live!, but with BOOBS instead of wisecrackin' robot puppets.

Quoted from screaminr:

Everything pinball is so much cheaper in the US compared to over here . Almost makes me want to move there . We pay more for everything compared to all other countries , forget the exchange rate we even pay more for digital downloads where transport costs are zero . We have a higher minimum wage so I guess they think we can afford it .

do they still censor all your movies, too?

#3540 4 years ago

This is my first Spike2 Stern.
Is there any difference between updating via SD card vs USB?
I mean, I understand the difference. But is there any difference in the final outcome? Is it just that doing the SD card gives you a clean, fresh install?
Will updating via USB still take care of updating the node board firmware, if applicable?

#3561 4 years ago

The game has great bones. Yes, the code is pretty raw, and when you play it you can definitely tell that it still needs work, but what is already there IS AWESOME and it will only get better!!!

#3564 4 years ago
Quoted from T7:

- 12 Dead Heads (Crypt Cleaner) -> Super Head Shot -> Mini-Wizard for beating all 12 Dead Heads???

Are there really 12 Dead Heads? That's awesome! I've only seen 3 so far!

#3566 4 years ago
Quoted from T7:

The other 9 aren't in the game yet LOL

Great to know, though!

#3575 4 years ago
Quoted from Zablon:

So much wrong with this idea when you are talking about a 9k toy.

It's actually NOT intended to be a consumer toy, though.

#3595 4 years ago
Quoted from Bohdi:

Maybe a nice Elvira "bobblehead" could go in that corner??

The master would not approve!
