    WE NEED MORE PINBALL PODCASTS!! said no one ever

    I personally love listening to pinball podcasts when I am driving or when i have free time. Slam Tilt Podcast, Coast2Coast,, etc.
    With the absence of Pinheadz podcast there is no one currently podcasting about pinball from Australia.
    Martin and myself have to decided to give it a go!

    Frequency: Weekly. Recording Monday (Australia time) and releasing on Tuesday

    Length: As long as it takes. Usually 1.5 to 2 hours

    Content: All things pinball! Manufacturer News, Tournaments news, interviews and the world of pinball collecting.

    Where to find us and how to listen:

    Quoted from blueberryjohnson:

    No code updates planned or usb updates possible if an update is needed.

    As Mike mentioned it won't be able to be upgraded via Usb.
    He plans to have code 99% complete on release.
    If an update is required it can be updated. But not by the end user. A distributor can program the board or send a preprogrammed board for swap.

    #24 6 years ago

    The rom they used isn't available in the market in socket form I believe. That's what was said in the interview.
    There is a programming port on the board, and only distributors will be able to reprogram I believe.

    As far as the cost, that is question that you need to direct towards Mike I am unsure of exactly how it will work.

    Well I believe all of the 'preorder' events in Australia will have a TAG prototype machine there so people can play it before putting their money down.
    I am guessing Canadians will also have the same opportunity when Mike is ready to launch there.
    If you are in the US try to send Mike money. He is not taking orders.

    People can watch the uploaded videos to see how it plays, and as we said we are happy to read out any feedback if people want to email us as long as they actually played the machine.

    Quoted from Vdrums:

    Fantastic podcast about the new games and expo. I really liked the detailed feature review of JJPotc and I relistened to some sections since I'm trying to decide if I should order one.

    We got to play a lot of Pirates this weekend as one was flown down to Australia. We got to take the glass off and check out the mechs and tweak the settings before the machine was shown to the public. So we will talk about it again!
    Wasn't sure if describing the machine in detail would be a good idea...but there is SOOO much to the pin that you really cannot see it all from a picture or a top down video.

    We also got a 30 minute interview with Jersey Jack himself that we will edit into the podcast.

    Cherry bomb would make for a great multiball (maybe orb multiball) sound since its the fastest and most chaotic sounding song.

    2nd... Come get your love or hooked on a feeling.
    Hooked on feeling.... You could have the Ooga-chaka bit playing on loop when one more ball is needed to hit Groot. Then when you hit the last ball into his mouth the song plays 'ahhhhhhh aaaaaahhhh'.... Then the balls all get released 'HOOKED ON A FEELING' would be a great moment.

    Thanks for the unexpected witch shout-out, Ryan!
    I was actually trying to finish some in the garage and listening to you guys when you started talking about them. So that was pretty cool.
    Pinstadium, Martin?...

    I know! What a bastard! Martin gives no love to his woz!

    We have our year review episode coming up in a couple of hours with a special guest, and then for episode 23 (I guess we have to record it before xmas) we have tracked down someone that people haven't heard from in over 10 years! We will be recording an interview soon with him/her.

    Quoted from genex:

    Started listening and enjoying the podcasts - will be visiting Sydney/Newcastle in March so gotta get the lowdown on the Australian scene!

    Hey is this GeneX from Gene X Huang fame? I enjoy your pictures and have heard you on a couple of podcasts!
    If you want to meet up with some pinheads while you are here start a thread on pinside or aussie arcade. We are a pretty friendly bunch!

    #98 6 years ago
    Quoted from genex:

    One of you all is going to INDISC too right? I'll be there so we should say hello - I'll be taking pix for sure.
    I did sign up for an account on Aussie arcade but it hasn't been approved yet I think

    Yeah Martymainframe is Martin and he will be there. If you manage to take a picture of Martin when he drains I would be very grateful

    Haha yes it was me that bumped a 4 year old thread after I watched 5th element.

    Charlie said it was something that fits the spooky name/brand though. "extreme". "out there". "like rob zombie". "doesn't have universal appeal" So I don't think fifth element matchs that.

    Although Bruce willis would want a truck load of money to be involved. That's really the only way it matches

    Also, this is Warwick Capper if you can understand what he is saying -

    #136 5 years ago

    Maybe I am shooting up the middle a little too much but it was also getting stuck behind the post on the spinning disc. And all of them that I played did that.
    In Vegas at PHOF, somewhere else in vegas as well
    At TPF
    In Canada
    I am guessing they where all setup at 6.5 or so. I will jack it up next time I am there and check the levelling of the giant spinning disc

    Sorry about that. I think our host had some issues for a couple of hours. Best way to listen is to download the ep automatically on your phone if possible.

    The website also allows you to download the MP3 directly if you want to listen on your PC.

    Keith was great. Really open about everything.
    I think there is another 2+ hours worth of questions in there for a future episode.

    #148 5 years ago
    Quoted from DennisK:

    Nice interview. Always enjoy hearing some discussion about the Gottlieb street level series, as I think it was a fascinating experiment.

    Haha. That was literally 20 seconds before I shut the conversation down.

    I still had a whole bunch of questions I didn't get to ask, and the conversation never really went off track

    Obviously the people love hearing from Keith as it's on track to be our most listened to episode ever.

    If anyone has any suggestions for people they would like us to interview let us know!

    #150 5 years ago
    Quoted from Pinballer73:

    How about interviewing Clay Harrell?

    He is on the list. Still working through the backlog of all this old episodes. They are like goldmines of information. He knew SO MUCH when interviewing someone I think I still need to learn a lot more before we can interview him.

    Would people want to hear from the 2 biggest distributors in Australia? They have been around for 30 years so lots of stories to tell .

    #155 5 years ago
    Quoted from pinsanity:

    Cameron Silver - for a homegrown success story.
    From Timezone Arcade Australia to Bally Williams pinball USA.

    Yep. Organised for him to come on a while ago and he didn't rock up to the interview unfortunately.

    Quoted from pinsanity:

    Nothing wrong with pinball drama when appropriate and I don't know why anyone would consciously choose to avoid it particularly as it seems to go hand in hand with the underlying machinations and commercial backroom deals of the pinball hobby.

    Quoted from pinsanity:

    As long as you aren't suggesting pineapple juice as the beverage choice. We have enough XXXXL matching black tshirt wearing drones as a result down here as it is.
    I give you a middle of the road 5 for always taking the path of least resistance and being the sheep rather than a shepherd of the local scene.

    If you love kaneda because he has a hard on for drama then unsub and just listen to him.

    It's not how I like to spend my free time. Your posts won't change my interests so unless you enjoy trolling then you might as well stop.

    #171 5 years ago
    Quoted from DennisK:

    Beetlejuice (1988): 11th highest (not listing all the others, #3 was Coming to America, #2 was Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and #1 was Rain Man)
    For comparison, Ghostbusters was the #1 box office film in 1984.
    So, I personally wouldn't consider Beetlejuice a huge hit at threatres given it didn't make the top 10 for the year (whereas the first two Superman films were both theatrical behemoths), though whether it is a cult classic depends on your definition (I tend to associate cult classics with being box office bombs, which Beetlejuice definitely was not, it was successful as 11th is still a very good rank, but I do think it gained more acceptance after home release).
    I can't even remember if I saw it in theatres as a kid. I liked it. Weird movie. Saw the cartoon some, but I don't think it ever hooked me and I did not regularly watch it.
    On topic, would I want to see Beetlejuice as a pin? It's not a theme that I feel strongly about, but I think it would be easy to program a story around. Superman I would be more interested in, though I have a lot more experience watching Superman II and would prefer the theme to use the first two movies (they are closely tied together, and I think having General Zod as an adversary in the game is too good to ignore). Three and four I wouldn't even reference, though.

    No one's has even started a thread on beetlejuice on pinside and the superman one is over 100 posts in. That's another sign!

    Quoted from balt:

    I consider your interviews the main course of the podcast and prefer it when you start with them instead of the news. Since I'm a regular on Pinside and TWIP there isn't much you can tell me beyond your own opinions of the news that I haven't already heard. That's why the interviews are GOLD - unique content. Also, two thumbs up for Slam the Top 100, kudos for maintaining a weekly pace, and thanks for the occasional Australian slang lessons. Cheers!

    Thanks for the feedback.
    We usually put the interview at the start and not sure why we changed it up this week. I think its because we didn't think he was going to last as long as it did, and prefer to insert the smaller 20~30 minute interviews in the middle.
    Aussie Slang might be coming back next week but we are running out of terms!

    #237 5 years ago
    Quoted from soren:

    Rule (major) changes in sports.
    In football. World Cup 1990 turned out to be so defensively played accross the board, that FIFA introduced the back pass rule. When passing the ball to the goalkeeper, he cannot kick it up.
    In badminton, it used to be so, that you could only win points in your own serve. With doubles even having a second serve. Games could turn out to be serve over marathons.
    Both these changes were hugh benefits.

    The t20 matches in cricket really make the sport a lot more interesting. I know there are a lot more people that have never seen cricket to hear is an example.

    #239 5 years ago
    Quoted from epthegeek:

    I'm amused that Josh complained about how Houdini says "shoot the ramp" or "shoot the orbit" and he didn't like it, then immediately after said he really likes Dialed-In, which does the same thing. Sure, it's not all up front on the mode, and they do call the theater for what it is and the phone for what it is, but there's a lot of "shoot the left/right ramp".

    I think everyone makes exceptions for games they like.

    Like Josh said it was probably more about how it 'takes him out of the game'.

    #243 5 years ago
    Quoted from MapleSyrup:

    You guys included the wrong call out from ST. It’s Benedict Cumberbatch’s line that people think sounds like “Kai”.

    Yep. I realised that after the show.
    I went and found the actual call out. It's 100 percent khan in the rom. But in the game it sounds like kai. I am guessing because of the way the audio is being mixed together

    #246 5 years ago
    Quoted from Dmod:

    Thanks for coming on the show gab

    So I was doing some math.

    Iron Maiden announced officially March 27
    204 days between then and start of expo
    102 days from march 27th
    is July 7th
    I am guessing they will give IMDN more time since it is a stronger older theme....but we are pretty close to the middle now!

    #269 5 years ago
    Quoted from rosh:

    Yup, It can be changed in settings, like lots of others aspects of the sounds. The giggling is far more noticeable on streams than when you play the game live, not sure why, but every stream I watch it really stands out, but when I play it, it fits with everything else.

    Yeah I think martins snowball microphone will give preference to things that sound like speech. Good to know it can be changed or disabled though!

    Quoted from speederice:

    When you guys had Keith on and mentioned you wouldn't get IMDN in Australia until the first week of July, he said something like, "By the time you get the 'new' game, it's not even going to be the newest game." Not that he has any control over the release schedule, but it would match up with your timeline.

    I think he was just joking around with this comment.

    Quoted from jar155:

    It would be cool to get the next announcement soon so we could hope for something at Pinball Expo. If it doesn't happen in the next couple of weeks, I doubt timing will work out well for that.

    I doubt their next title could be as popular as IMDN has been. I am guessing like GOTG it will be top new of an IP to sell out right away.

    I talked to some smarter people than me and they said there is no way Stern would announce anything atm they are just too backlogged with orders for IMDN.

    Like you said. I guess this potentially messes up their schedule for their other pins.

    Quoted from Shapeshifter:

    Yes, and they will DJell out due to limited production and will never be remade - apparently.

    I think you could safely say there would be a lot of units though. Maybe close to 2000 of them even if they where limited. I am guessing 3 models as well

    Quoted from swinks:

    cool interview again guys, got me wondering about a licence that everyone would love. Tough to find a single them that everyone would love but James Bond would be a cool theme as 25th movie to be released in 2019 - would be awesome to have a game that could work in the all 25 games into one, complete in order, villains, girls, gadgets, weapons
    https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/james-bond-producers-set-25th-007-film-for-2019-200353/

    Remember there is no SLOT machine for this pin, they offered 50mil for the slot license and they where turned down.
    Google James bond slots, they exist.

    #287 5 years ago

    If you google 'The Beatles' slot machine on the other hand.....
    "Everyone would love" is a sales pitch line obviously. We all have different taste in pinball machines and themes. I predict a pinside meltdown then it is release. It will be the best game ever and the worst game ever at the same time.

    Who’s that ‘Pinside Petey’ guy everybody is mentioning lately? ...

    We had an episode when iron maiden was number 1 in pinside. I had a whinge saying that the pinside crew would down vote the game. Pinside petey was born and he messaged into the show with an audio clip.
    Every once in a while he calls in to make fun of us.

    #355 5 years ago

    Nope
    Google logic is weird
    it will never pick the first number (well it never has anyway), so it will never pick zero. And even if it doesn't its not a valid option so we would just redraw.

    and it will include the last number.

    #380 5 years ago

    Nope. Martin won 4 of his fist 5 games. So he was on 1 point.

    Don't stress, I ran it right

    #383 5 years ago
    Quoted from epthegeek:

    Ok, so other than martin’s bitterness, how did you like that variation on the knockout format?

    I love it. Only played in 0011 tournament once before but it seemed to drag on for a while at the end.

    I am the one that got Matchplay to add it as a format because the scoring totally didn't work when you modified too many strikes.

    It should be named 'don't come last'

    Here is the comp - https://matchplay.events/live/xr696

    #386 5 years ago
    Quoted from rotordave:

    What’s the advantages of these formats over the standard 0-0-1-1?
    Example - you are a new player, you come along to experience a Comp, play some pinball - and lose all your games in a row. Which is likely to happen.
    Normal 3 strikes - 3 loses, you’re done.
    Progressive with 5 strikes - 2 games, you’re done.
    Fair strikes with 5 strikes (this is what Ryan ran I believe) - 3 games, you’re done.
    So nothing gets a new player any more games than the normal format, if they continually get last. If they come say 4-3-4 with fair strikes, they’d still get 4 games. 3-3-3-4 they’d get one extra game.
    Looking at the results on Matchplay, it was all finished in 8 rounds (with 22 players)
    Is the idea to finish the tournament quicker so everyone can go home earlier?
    Always up for a change up - just trying to see what the advantages are of changing.
    rd

    IMO is more about the groups of 3
    I think the scoring for 3 player is 001
    There is no advantage for coming first. You could be in the final round in round 8 and not come first once.
    012 I think puts a lot more pressure for you to perform
    And yes, I think the format has a better 'curve' to wrap up the comp quicker once most of the people are out compared to 0123. I don't want to to hang around forever for 2 people.

    Here is a simulation for 100 people doing 5 strikes with 0112

    **** PLAYERS PER ROUND, SUMMARY AFTER RUN 10000 ****

    round 1: 100.000000
    round 2: 100.000000
    round 3: 100.000000
    round 4: 89.059097
    round 5: 64.214996
    round 6: 38.139198
    round 7: 19.949301
    round 8: 9.355600
    round 9: 4.278900
    round 10: 1.651700
    round 11: 0.038800

    -----------------------

    Here is a simulation for 100 people doing 5 strikes with 0123

    **** PLAYERS PER ROUND, SUMMARY AFTER RUN 10000 ****

    round 1: 100.000000
    round 2: 100.000000
    round 3: 81.257401
    round 4: 50.575001
    round 5: 26.266199
    round 6: 12.355300
    round 7: 5.480800
    round 8: 2.745200
    round 9: 0.768000
    round 10: 0.163000
    round 11: 0.024800
    round 12: 0.001800

    ----------------------------

    Can you see the difference?
    At half way on the 0123 you only have 26 people left.
    With 0112 you have an average of 64 people left

    #389 5 years ago
    Quoted from rotordave:

    are you saying that the last player in round 11 is only 1/3rd human? Jeeezus!
    What about a simulation for the normal 3 strikes 0-0-1-1. What’s that come out at?
    My guess - 16-18 rounds.
    rd

    Worse. 3/100ths of a human

    No idea on the 0011 break down. I am just using the program that Keith Johnson coded up on tilt forums.
    I am guessing 0011 would have a similar end round average with 3 strikes, not 5.

    #394 5 years ago

    They are the same really. Just depends on how many rounds It goes for.
    10 rounds have 72 percent tpg. 8 gave 52 but there was a bunch of rounds that where 3 players.
    So over in about 3.5 to 4 hours with the on site machines not setup too hard.

    The aim for just to try and keep more people in for longer. I need to feed the machines as it's $2 a play here in Melbourne. So with $10 entry it works out pretty much perfect with this format.

    #403 5 years ago

    Well 98% is a step down for 99.9% which was quoted once

    From a Polygon article a while ago
    ---------------------------------
    But even the biggest of them, Jersey Jack, has only designed two games in the past six or so years. Stern created 20 in the same time frame.
    Dankberg says they're not successful enough yet to be considered competition, something he hopes will eventually happen.

    "I want someone to be successful," he said. "We probably do 99.9 percent of the games shipped. That's not an industry, it's a monopoly."
    ---------------------------------

    The original article is down, but there seems to be a mirror here

    https://gameup24.wordpress.com/2016/10/11/how-the-last-major-pinball-company-handcrafts-its-machines/

    #414 5 years ago
    Quoted from iceman44:

    JJP guess is around 3k

    I don't think it would be that high at the moment.
    I could be wrong but 3,000 shipped units in 2017? Dialed In is great, but probably their 3rd best selling title due to it being an original theme.

    #420 5 years ago
    Quoted from iceman44:

    I'm factoring in Woz, Hobbit and DI shipments
    JJP has to be shipping at least 3k a year overall right?

    I think Hobbit and Woz sales last year would be under 500 surely?
    There are a lot on the 2nd hand market so would be hard to sell heaps new.

    JJP stamps their playfields, so all you need to do is look under the PF and you should have *some* idea of how many they have made.
    WOZ would be 2000+
    Hobbit would be 2000+

    But a large percentage of them would be preorders.

    Either way, 98% of the market is impossible.

    #433 5 years ago

    Sorry, no episode this week guys and girls.
    Some personal stuff has happened and that takes priority over the podcast this week.

    Marty doesn’t like the music?!?! Grab your pitchforks!!!!! Oh wait, wrong show haha.
    Love that Dennis was on this episode. Very entertaining and love tuning in every Monday.

    Martin waited 1~2 months for all of the hate to dissipate. You can take all the heat and we can just slide in the opinions late.

    Coming in about 2 months from now is our 2 out of 5 star Deadpool review.

    Quoted from soren:

    The ACDC gimmick is Elvis rehash. If stuff is not ball interacting, it is not toys to me. But gimmicks.
    Worse toy ever - by a landslide - Rescue 911.

    How about something like Woz spinning house?
    No interaction but surely its more of a toy than a gimmick?

    #461 5 years ago
    Quoted from Rarehero:

    Yeah, that definitely made me wanna smack you. Champion Pub is an excellent and fun game, a nice change of pace from the flow-hoe tourney-nerd math-chess zero-features boredom of new games. I've been thinking of whittling down my collection &amp; not buying any more pins, and just the other day someone offered me a Champ Pub and I'm really thinking about it. It's Punch-Out: The Pinball. Very cool, very unique, excellent features and design.

    Sure....
    but those C grade call outs.....
    and the rules....
    The repetitive nature of the game....
    and the in your face DS light show....

    #475 5 years ago
    Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Enjoyed listening to Dennis’s take on market trends. It was well written and delivered with a heavy hand of sarcasm. I could listen to that on a recurring basis.

    I am sure they would still be interested today, but you would only be buying the rights to use Williams branding now

    I guess what made Williams pinball was the people. Unless you can get them all back a rewind the clock.....

    #520 5 years ago

    It seems to be working though right?
    Lyman games all sell out.

    I mean if they aren't confusing and too simple, people move them on. I've sold every B/W game I've "finished" except for AFM. It is rarely fun for me if I have discovered everything. SS machines are different in that there is 'no story'. So its purely just trying to survive for the longest.

    Professional video game players are great at playing 1 or 2 games.
    A professional pinball player is asked to remember detailed rules of an ever changing environment for hundreds of games. So most of them prioritise certain rules that will score them big points.
    A lot of players know MORE rules but don't have the skill and strategy that he has.

    You are right in that a lot of the buying market are just buying to have the shiny new thing...but I still think they demand depth. Batman on release probably had more in there than AFM, MM and MB. But people demand more and more and more. While they are waiting for more, they resist selling their machines.
    I know people that haven't sold their Kiss and Ghostbusters simply because it *might* become the game they want one day.

    #523 5 years ago

    1. Dudes that played when they where younger have nostalgia and enough money to buy the machines they loved in the 90s/80s. Then they buy the newer stuff
    2. JJP has Pindeption, and can give out tickets based on a time game with very simple objectives
    3. P3 Could do this as well
    4. Deeproot will save us all, surely?

    #527 5 years ago
    Quoted from SarcasticHorse:

    Loved the discussion about callouts not changing with playfield multipliers in Stern games. My#1 frustration with Star Wars and Ghostbusters. WH2O is how to do this right. Music gets more exciting as you progress and you get a Wet Willy scream with the 5x jackpot. So satisfying.

    It gets hard when there are so many multipliers!
    Williams games didn't really them much. White water, Dr Who, Creature, I am sure a bunch of others I cannot think of.

    Compare the Super JP on getaway versus a triple super on Ghostbusters.
    Same coder!

    LOTR has 21 different call outs for Two towers Multiball depending on the Jackpot combo and the balls in play. I mean you can have other multipliers running the back back ground like gollum and 2x playfield.

    If we ever get Lyman on the show I will make sure I ask him, especially on games like TWD where you can 20x a shot through the inlane and really blow up the game, but it also sometimes happen by accident and you are unaware.

    #529 5 years ago
    Quoted from Tucks:

    Just catching up on Ep 66. Great as always and good interviews. Can't see where anyone has posted what they really want from machines being networked in the future. League tables won't work due to different machine setups, playing with glass off etc etc. code updates will be a step in the right direction.
    How about having Netflix integrated?

    Quoted from genex:

    I think you all mentioned some rules for the flip frenzy you came up with - is that posted anywhere? These are becoming really popular now that it's supported in MatchPlay

    In this episode?
    I was talking more about the way Buffalo pinball ran it. You have qualifying as Flip frenzy....2.5 hours or how ever long you want. And then Finals for top 8 or 4?

    Might ruin the fun of flip frenzy though. If the top top players don't want to be involved because they might not win then that is OK!
    This is the last one I ran - https://www.ifpapinball.com/tournaments/view.php?t=27448

    It's Chanel. Like the perfume old ladies wear.
    She will punch you all in the balls if you call her Chantel

    It's was good fun recording with her
    This is her at the last pinball event I dragged her too

    Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

    G'day mates! Just listened to the latest episode. Marty's 2018 show recap, while impressive, smacked of obvious TWIPY campaigning as pointed out by noneless than Ryan C. himself.
    Head2Head does a great job, and as such, is one of my go to pinball podcasts.

    Please vote for whoever you want as the award means nothing to me. What does podcast of the year mean anyway? The Twipys are an internet popularity contest that has no bearing on quality and happiness of the hobby to me.

    Enjoy whatever podcast you want my friend, but please don't tell me to do something for you for a vote I could not care less about.

    #591 5 years ago

    It is nothing against Jeff and TWIP. I appreciate everything he does.
    I just think the awards are designed to be a celebration of pinball but as per Tuna's post they can end up being the opposite.

    #594 5 years ago

    Yeah not fun to steal now.
    Next episode ... 4 fast thoughts.

    #597 5 years ago

    You see your post and Tuna's post ( more so his ) is a reminder of why I don't put any value on it.

    You thought we had the 'best' podcast . But now you have put a condition on it because I said it doesn't mean anything to me. Which has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the podcast in 2018.

    I'm sure there are 100s or 1000s of people who will put their own set of conditions or who haven't even listened to any podcasts as evident by the other thread on pinside.

    I appreciate anyone who listens. I can see the numbers, I get the emails. I don't need anything else from you. We have never been knocked back an interview because we didn't have a TWIPY.

    I am only speaking for myself. Martin is gagging for any awards he can stick on his massive trophy shelf.

    #600 5 years ago

    All podcasters collect stats differently. So none of them are really accurate unless everyone is using the same software.
    What I am saying is that in 2018 our listener base grew and grew and grew and we are just comparing it too ourselves.

    The emails I'm talking about are just people that email as tell us they appreciate the show

    Quoted from 27dnast:

    Can someone send me CF’s address so I can mail him a box of tissues? The guy is constantly bitching and crying about one critique or another. It’s a total downer listening to his interviews... geesh.
    How about privately reaching out to Taylor and explain your process to him. He’s a solid guy. If he doesn’t understand, help him understand.

    Quoted from TaylorVA:

    H2H chose to call him up at 4am, purportedly out of the blue, to stir the pot.

    No. I called him to make Marty laugh. Full stop.

    #639 5 years ago

    It's called cross promotion of podcasts.

    #641 5 years ago

    I was joking.

    I don't agree with what Taylor said really. I don't agree with what Franchi said. Most importantly no one seems to have a sense of humour about it.

    We interviewed so many people last year and each podcast gets 1 or 2 comments. I mean people like Lyman sheats, Keith Johnson etc.

    I get Franchi on at 4am to get Martin to laugh and the conversation created here proves that people really are addicted to drama more than anything. It's pretty sad actually.

    In fact after he answered the VIP question I messaged Marty as said I was going to kick him off. Was never meant to be more than a couple minutes.
    Franchi can say whatever he wants. We have never censored our guests.

    Yep it will be here once it airs - https://7plus.com.au/the-great-weekend
    It airs every Sunday night in Australia (I think it was off this week). No idea what episode it will be, but there did fill a bunch of 'promos' for facebook etc so I should be able to tell a couple of days out.

    Regarding the last podcast. Martin recorded it right after the stream. Then uploaded 2.5 days later. The info about buffalo being on the front page was only made apparent later on. Even if it was just a small amount watching and not clicking off it is still good exposure for pinball

    Holy shit that made me spit out my breakfast @balt

    Quoted from LOTR_breath:

    Oh hell no. Too much love for Star Trek. Not enough for LOTR. LOL. Another great episode, guys!

    Yeah I've had mine for 3 years and the last 2 i haven't played more than a 100 or so games on it.
    I know it is amazing but its hard to beat TWD for me. Maybe 10 years from now the answer will be different.
    Also I feel bad for AC/DC as I didn't make a point about how bloody cool the Song Jackpot is and that it makes up for a lot of the shortcomings we talked about. Also AC/DC multiplier shot and rule i think is the best multiplier rule in pinball. Simple to understand. Risky shot. Doesn't last too long....

    I've found a website that does bracket style votes, instead of a facebook vote for the final 2 we might open up an entire 32 game bracket and each round has 24 hours of voting.

    #756 4 years ago

    Thanks to Supreme for paving the way

    Online bracket is up if you want to vote in the 32 pin elimination bracket

    https://www.polltab.com/bracket-poll/yLp5S_LFN

    I might give it is own thread as it took me at least 45 minutes to find a website that supports this.
    Every 24 hours it ticks over to the next stage

    Thanks for all the kind words here and messages

    Sorry you had to hear me "sing" again.

    To sum it up from someone that message me "If there's anything that H2H has taught me from the old days is that Ryan is the most tone deaf mother f**ker I know."

    I still live and breath Pinball, just busy with some life changes and trying to find more balance.

    Just letting everyone know that our patreon subs got this episode months ago.
    Lots of great content on our patreon.
    Doing this shit once a year is hard ok?
    If you think it is easy please pickup the microphone.
    Don't be cheap bastards, you are all rich. Give us money.

    P. S. Please do exercise. Maybe a ratio of 0.5 exercise to every 1 pinball.
    Pps. screaminr you ruined everything

    MERRY XMAS
