Love the show, Jeff.

Thanks to you and Don for putting out fun and interesting content every two weeks! I'm in the middle of 79 right now.

My suggestion is more bingo talk, of course.

I hope Episode 80 is all about the Best games ever; Fish Tales, South Park, etc

I (heart) you

Can you have Theresa skype in for gettin' in bed with Theresa segments since Nate has moved on to other things?

Love the show. Less health issue discussion would be an improvement. More talk about what you've played lately, maybe trends you go through in your collections where some games sit unplayed for weeks?

Incoming... We recorded with Dan Nikolich of the Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown last night. Show should be up in a day or two! Thanks for listening!

Recording with Kristin and Tim of MezelMods.com tonight, but no Jeff... *insert gentle weeping here*

Sunday we are recording Episode 82 with Mitchell Curtis of the MoonWalking Dead pinball project! Check out the video below to see the game in action. Questions, comments and suggestions are always welcomed. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words in Episode 83 and for correctly pronouncing my son's name. That was a fun weekend at RMPShowdown. I need to figure out a way to get down a day early and help set up OR stay a night longer and help tear down. Maybe Dan will let us be the official game-levelers next year, righting the wrongs of unfairly sloped playfields. P.S. the live show was a good time, glad you guys made it happen again.

I couldn't make it this year. Would have loved to see pictures of the most outstanding games and/or mods

Martin just updated the www.pinballnews.com coverage of the show.

Thanks again for having me on, fellas!

Not to hijack your thread, but I do want people to know that they'll be able to play the Multi-Bingo at this year's York show in York, PA (unless it catches on fire or something beforehand). C'mon out and give it a shot!

Don't let anything get in the way of your dreams, Jeff. If we ever meet up, we can play, 'who gets a Coke when they press the button' from a soft drink machine.

Also: it's true - just because you can win more than one replay at a time, doesn't mean that immediately you're going to sell them off. Plus, in your home, who are you going to sell them to? I'm not buying.

When you strip that (potentially) seedy aspect away, what are you left with? Pure gameplay. Each replay gives you a chance at earning that next feature or odds increase. It does not guarantee it. Therefore, you have to have several replays to really get the machine singing.

There's nothing to stop a location from buying off your replays on whatever modern game is out there, either.

You probably made this right before Stern contacted KPG didn't you? I always hate when breaking news changes things right after an article/podcast goes up.

We bought a new house and moved recently, which is no easy feat for a family of six. Among the gameroom casualties were a shattered arcade marquee glass, a ripped Lethal Enforcers translite, a cracked CRT monitor ( ...made an amazing suction sound for a solid minute until it was filled up with air), and a plethora of broken switch wires, loose harnesses and other terrible odds and ends.

What are some of the worst gameroom casualties you guys have witnessed in moving from home to home?

I almost killed my dad moving games into my new house.

We just closed on the house, and my parents were helping my wife and I fix it up. During this I found a decent Space Odyssey nearby and I picked it up. The same day, my cousin who lives minutes away, texts me to tell me the Jungle Lord they got from her husbands grandparents.

So on the way home, it starts to rain. A lot. And I get a quick glance at my cousin's house and I see Jungle Lord just sitting in the driveway. In the rain.

So we rush home, back up, and unload the game. I have tunnel vision and I'm trying to get the game inside in the basement down the stair with dad bracing the game down the steps. And he slips. And I almost slip because I'm the only thing holding the game and keeping the dolly from rolling down on him.

Not my best day. I don't ask dad to help anymore because I felt so bad about it.

I got Jungle Lord that day. Barely covered with a tarp and soaking wet. I've had it for two years now, and I'm still not prepared to fully work on it.

I had kind of the same deal. I had my Dad help bring in my 6803 game and those games are heavy. I don't know if the pressed wood cabs make them heavier or what. Dad was grunting the whole way. Since then I've bought a lift cart, a 2 wheeler, plastic wrap, and ratchet straps so I can move games myself without having to bother him.

Wow... Bad luck with dads around here. My father-in-law has insisted on helping a couple times, but I have the routine down pat to move stuff alone. Inevitably, he always jostles the game into a door frame, or drops it on the threshold while I'm grumbling under my breath. GOOD TIMES.

A post wouldn't be the same without a health update from Jeff!

My downstairs only has two options. One option is navigating a 90 degree turn halfway down. The second option is going down the sharp rock steps with a curved design outside. I call this the path of the dead. Shockingly, the second way is the better way!

So, once a game gets to my basement it will stay there for a long time!

No Cyclone love? For shame... Just kidding, of course, but Cyclone is a great single-ball game. My wife and I made it our 10-year wedding anniversary gift to each other in 2011 and we really enjoy it a ton to this day. Clowns can be a make or break for a lot of people though, I get it.

We did an Expo review mini-episode (that ended up not being very mini) with Joe Zenkus last night. Should be up in a day or two. Thanks for listening!

This is Parnell. I have no idea how you find GB easy, but maybe I shouldn't flail flip so much

PinBot's attract mode sounds can be set to OFF, LESS, or ALOT in the menu. Don must have his set in one of the latter positions. I keep my attract sounds off except during the semi-annual gameparties. The odd thing with PinBot (and possibly other early Williams Sys11 games) is that during attract mode, when the features and rules are cycling, just for a brief moment the flipper-enable relay clicks on. So if you're holding down the flipper button it will energize for a half second. Must have something to do with the "multiplexing" Williams did with their flashers and coils to make Xstors handle double-duty.

Episode 94.... Xanadu pinball? While listening, I immediately remembered the Geiger "FLY HIGH" pinball, which was a conversion of a Bally SuperSonic machine with art from The Neverending Story. The girl in the center has a Xanadu-esque look, soooo.... is that the game?

Yes, I found that PinBot "bug" by leaning on the cab while working between games, and YES, my wife gets all kinds of turned on when I show off my random pinball trivia knowledge, and YES, one of these statements is a lie.

p.s. the Denver trivia seminar was a fun time.

Episode 98 is out. Exactly the right amount of health updates!
This week, Don and Jeff are joined by Jessica DeNardo to talk about new pins and new designers. They also talk about their favorite and least favorite games from Stern.

Jeff, I hope you've been warming up - Vegas is but a few short weeks away.

Just listened to your #98 episode while working on some stuff last night, Jeff... cool stuff.
