Does the rock have a star of Fame?
I guess he does. Humm
Let's see that the next clue is.
Are any of his works ok. Legend grail theme status? Jumanji, but I'd argue that the Robin Williams version was much better that his.
Quoted from Mbecker:Thor?
No, it doesn't hurt much any more. But thanks for asking.
Uncharted? Would be a huge IP but outside of playstation isn't that big yet. Would line up with the new movie release too.

The one of the guys on the podcast referenced on the multimorphic FB-did use the term “Sullied” about halfway through
But what mini modes would be in Uncharted
If this game is uncharted it would be a huge fail. The talk around this makes it seem like a true dream theme. Uncharted wouldn’t even be close. Might as well do crash bandicoot after that.
EDIT - now if it's legend of zelda, than I would understand that ridiculous reaction video. In fact, the reveal hype is now at a Jerry all time high considering I'm even thinking about it and P3. I thought Heist look cool so if this reveal is really good (and I mean very very good), I would consider jumping into the platform.
I’ve heard rumors that the game will be revealed today. Maybe just the title reveal?? I’m excited for the new game. Played a P3 at expo and really enjoyed it

Who did you hear this from?
It's amazing how much licenses sell games, and even just the talk that a license exists can create excitement.
Good luck, Multimorphic, with the release.
Quoted from PinballTilt:Who did you hear this from?
I heard from a couple P3 owners that are excited about a potential reveal. Hope we see the game at TPF
Quoted from frolic:licenses sell games
So now we see how much this license can move.
Quoted from northvibe:Dang. wait until you play this thing....holy smokes is it a monster!
Have you played it?
Very good call. There is likely a high correlation between pinball players and weird Al fans...myself included.
I am in and hope it shoots well.
I have thought a lot about a UHF Weird Al game, and a museum is fun too
Also I guess this means we’re getting Scott Danesi remixes of Weird Al songs of other artists songs?
Quoted from NightTrain:Have you played it?
Yayer. We talk about it in our last Flippin and Mashing podcast, episode 83
Quoted from ViperJelly:Very good call. There is likely a high correlation between pinball players and weird Al fans...myself included.

...I cannot wait for a stream of this game. There are some impressive things going on.
Holy %$#@!
Well done, Gerry. Taking a wait and see until it's released but a P3 may be in my future.
Weird Al!
Holy crap!
I am seriously looking into a P3 now.
This is the killer app as far as I am concerned.
Quoted from PismoArcade:Holy %$#@!
Well done, Gerry. Taking a wait and see until it's released but a P3 may be in my future.
+1, i want to see gameplay. 
Sorry to be the debbie downer but this was a complete let down. Weird AL a dream theme? GTFO.
Not saying I don't want to see it in action and I wish the best for Jerry and the platform as I love his passion but to hype Weird Al as a dream theme was complete BS. And that reaction video - oh, this hobby some times.
EDIT - top 10 dream themes always do include Weird Al. I must have forgotten!!
Total letdown although happy for the minority that really see these as a dream theme. It will move units but that’s not saying much. I was just hoping for a legit dream theme. Search pinside and you’ll find the lists. You know - Harry Potter, Top Gun, Goonies, about 50 more to name. Maybe Jerky Boys will be the follow-up to this from Stern. Haha

Not for you, but Weird Al is a dream theme for some. I'm doing my research and will likely moving one of my pins to make this happen.
Better theme (for me) than Godzilla by far.

I am actually laughing. It's a great choice, ideally suited to pinball, and the way to do it is not as a straightforward music pin: you create a three-dimensional world based on his comedy and weird imagery he has in his style parodies like Dare To Be Stupid and Everything You Know Is Wrong. Alberquerque. Skipper Dan. Virus Alert. Hardware Store. All those and more than have their own dedicated diorama and toy areas. And on powering up I'd have the bootup sequence bring up a fake TOS agreenment to look at while 'Mission Statement' plays.
But mainly I'm laughing because I dodged a bullet. I have a game over halfway CAD-developed now which I'd earmarked three potential licenses for to build it up around... and Weird Al was one of them. But it's not the one I ultimately went with and am going to try for. But I can show you Weird Al can make a good mech and toy based pin, because this is the base layout in question and what I'd have done with it.
Great job Gerry, I wish you all the luck and I hope you can do the man justice.

It's not a dream theme for me but it is a fantastic theme for a pinball machine. It's fun and quirky theme that doesn't take itself too seriously, should also have humor, variety in music styles, 80's nostalgia, etc. Having Danesi on board will help a lot too. I hope Multimorphic is able to keep up with demand as I can see this being a big seller. I can't wait to see more!
This is an awesome theme. Pinball themes have by and large gotten super serious, this is a theme that will be goofy fun for everyone. Big question I have is, will parodies be licensed or will it be all original Al/Scott music?
Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:This better have the wheel of fish!!!!
Gerry gets to drink from THE FIRE HYDRANT.

I'm guessing the style parodies that imitate certain bands but not specific songs. Those don't need a sublicense.
I would expect those of you hoping for "UHF: The Pinball" are going to be very disappointed. I don't know anything about the game other than the announced name; but it doesn't point to it being UHF and I'm sure that would have been a mountain of extra licensing costs.
Personally, I just hope Al was involved in the creation of the game versus just signed off on the rights to make it.
Quoted from EalaDubhSidhe:I'm guessing the style parodies since those don't need a sublicense.
Just hoping for Dare to be Stupid
I was inches away from pulling the trigger on Heist.... Over the past 40+ years I've probably listened to Weird Al more than any other musician and never even contemplated that he would be used as a pinball theme... It's a dream theme I never knew I wanted!
Timing couldn't be worse for me as I'm dumping all my spare money into a new business... ARGH....
Quoted from westofrome:Just hoping for Dare to be Stupid
the song is in the promo, I would think so!
Quoted from westofrome:Just hoping for Dare to be Stupid
That one's in the announcement trailer. There was NO WAY Dare To Be Stupid was going to be left out, nor Everything You Know Is Wrong.
