That armour reminds me of the Sovereigns from GOTG2, other than some licenced tracks and maybe a single spinner on the pro, the one thing I would love is for one of the modes, maybe the final wizard mode to have the Dance Off up on the LCD with all the inserts going purple, red/blue GI (RGB GI would have been preferred for purple GI)) going nuts while making your shots to join the GOTG together and vanquish Ronan.

Guys your show is awesome always makes for excellent viewing and an absolute life saver when I am on a night shift at the fire station (fire house for you in the US) with the other dudes snoring their heads off

As soft as Greg’s voice is, there are other podcasts I use to induce sleep

It has been strongly rumoured that Heighway have the Queen licence and have done for some time

Great episode guys, really enjoyed watching, especially the BM66 discussion so let me be the first owner of a BM66LE to say I love my SEGA Goldeneye

ZMeny when you hit the glass on your Maiden, through my phones speakers it sounded like a good slap, for a split second I was waiting for it to explode under your hand

Ah screw it, if no one else is gonna say it I will - IRONMAN!

Code isn’t deep, but does code really need to be deep for it to be considered great?

Ironman is fairly shallow, but the music, lighting, animations which I’m counting as code here immerse you into the theme and give you a massive adrenaline rush, the gameplay code with the magnets feels like Monger and Whiplash are physically fighting back and I don’t care what anyone says Bogey maybe a simple ramp mode but it’s awesome!

Ironman is a masterclass in less is more, simple but extremely effective coding!

I thought everyone loved M&Ms

I am not a maiden fan and I was honestly a little bummed out when I found out they where using Keith’s archer layout for a theme I had no interest in.

However I view the music now like any other music in a pin, it’s repeated and on continuous loop and often while playing almost disappears into the background (Ironman and Tron being 2 exceptions where I find myself bobbing to the tracks) so the music is no major deal breaker and Stern where smart with the art, no band members to be seen anywhere just a kick ass art package the premium art is awesome!

But if it’s still a major problem the choices are simple, don’t buy it, change out the music or go the full hog and retheme this bad boy.

Me! But I am clinically insane so I guess I’m not in my right mind to begin with

Of course Zachs opinion won’t impact sales at least not negatively like everyone seems to be freaking out about. His review was 90% positive the only thing he criticised was the theme, which I totally agree with for me iron maiden as a theme is a D, just as rap themed pin would be a D for you and others, themes come down to person tastes, but what everyone including Zach agrees on is the physical aspects of the game layout, shots, rules are all an A!

Showing your age there Ice you old man

But that is the beauty of Stern, they make enough games each year to please every corner of the market, plus it’s a relief on the wallet when there is a theme or 2 that is not a must buy, last couple of years Stern have been killing it with their themes and killing my wallet in the process

Zach you gotto say it 3 times man, cmon!

Man what a great theme, tonnes of potential for some cool toys too.

JJP have the camera, Stern throw in a mic so we can say Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice and summon the son of the bitch and go into a midnight madness kinda mode, theme integration NAILED!

Great episode again guys, plus I realised Greg is secretly a movie star, watched 10 Cloverfield Lane last night and thought “I know this guy he looks familiar, that beard!?” started watching your episode today and ureka it clicked!

Greg meet Greg

Great episode as usual, enjoyed your first impressions of Deadpool and it was like an appetiser, now looking forward to the main, your Deadpool Review!

BIG +1 and bring on the pies!!

I asked George direct about an adult mode/r rated content he kindly replied and allowed me to share the following:

“No adult mod.Deadpool is family friendly- all versions. Deadpool will get damaged but no blood & gore.”

I still think the game looks great though, love the shots, those loops and that orbit to ramp looks great!

I think the sound is going to improve dramatically, code was rumoured to be .85 and George several times said everything is still very early. I am expecting a lot more callouts, sounds, SFX and of course Hi-Res Deadpool breaking the 4th wall - add pinball browser into the mix and I’ll persobally he making an R rated mix as long as I can rip the voicework from other Deadpool projects Nolan North has done.

Any game can be made harder, open outlines fully, little more incline, ball save disabled and tighten that tilt.

Theme is an issue if you don’t like Deadpool that’s a tricky one

+1 but at least we can potentially fix this with the voiceover work the voice actor for the pin has done previously for R rated games and animation.

Oh I’m looking forward to this one hopefully being divisive and you two butting heads on this one, best episodes are where you completely disagree, looking forward to some Total Nonstop Arguing in this episode cant wait

I’m not sure what I enjoyed more Greg & Zach’s latest episode or the atomic fallout they have created in this thread

I think the review is a little high but I understand that whenever Greg & Zach review a game I know it’s either going to be right on point with my opinion or a little high and that’s cause these guys f**kin love pinball!

Hell they buy games to review and talk about to entertain us and give us all something to watch, without their crazy love for good and bad games alike we wouldn’t have half the content they have created for the community to enjoy!

Really don’t get the upset though, usually when Greg or Zach review something that I thinks way off base I find it amusing, like the LW3 review I laughed my ass off watching Greg announce his love for the game.

Just saw your listing Zach, when is the SDTM Deadpool review coming? Looking forward to that one.

Edit: just saw your response in your FS thread, can’t wait for that to drop.

And this is why I continue to watch SDTM above most other podcasts. I love the goofiness and banter you bring to the show, especially when you guys are giving each other a hard time, which you guys have been lacking recently, almost being too nice to eachother these days

As for the editing I think it’s great and brings a lot of entertainment to the show, the Deadpool pop ups where fantastic and well worth the time, a few of my friends who are not into pinball at all ended up watching with me at work and enjoyed the show and these guys don’t know the first thing about pinball.

Zach said he pretty much brought Deadpool for the review, whether he said that tongue in cheek or not I don’t know, but that’s 6k and maybe a $500+ loss selling it on so quick right there, just for the show and our entertainment, massive respect for his efforts there!

And that Deadpool show definitely took a lot of time with the 4th wall editing, I’d love to see these guys make an income from the show, there’s a lot of supposed “entertainers” on a lot of money yet they don’t entertain me half as much as Greg and Zach joking about, arguing and ripping into eachother, so if they end up being able to do this full time more power to em!

ZMeny Hollywoodbone great show guys loved it, felt like one of your older shows which was great, loved the insults and mud slung back and forth (Zach being pale, vampire, Greg being a hobbit all hit the mark) like the good old days with you guys.
