Can't wait 'til all these nimrods who apparently can't figure out how to press play on a Roku remote leave the hobby for the rest of us who just want to play a game of pinball on the playfield.

Club Fiction

On second though, it's obvious: Jack Rabbit Slim's

They probably had to go for whatever mishmash of eras pops into Tarantino's head when he thinks "pinball."

I guess you'll have to settle for one of the four games with ramps released this month.

I wonder how many affluent movie buffs would pay to have one of these in their home theater, assets be damned. Ten? A thousand? Not my world, so I have no idea.

C'mon mods.

Spinner to saucer ratio sorely lacking. I dig the whole vibe though.

Alright, well that was fun. Haagen Dazs Tank Brigade full reveal tomorrow?

Lol, never change, pinside.

Stop it, you guys are killin' me.

*cracks knuckles* Let's count some coils, boys.

In a word, no. I see a lot of scoops, targets, and shots that feed the pop bumpers. You should believe Josh when he said the game plays brutal. Dude may be washed now, but he used to be one of the best in the world. (hi Josh!)

I'm thinking more TNA than Bond 60th.

Why buy a Weird Al when I get topical parody songs for free?

Nope.

Can someone please release a game without an F in the acronym? Every time I see a game mentioned this month I have to stop and remind myself which one it is. Not to mention TPF.

Low bar! I think that's a stone lock.

This is never going to happen.

No 3D printer necessary:

So we don't pay 12 grand for a $9,500 game?

Yes, it sucks, and I want no part of fanning the flames.

Could be more of a name than anything at this point and they have six months to implement it, who knows.

I had to use one recently, and you know what? It wasn't half bad. Once I got up to speed, it was pretty fast & easy to change settings, in any order you want.

That's a shame, can probably get the best saltena this side of Bolivia for ten bucks within walking distance of the tourist traps.

Anyway, back to Pulp Fiction. “Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.”

Those look sexy as-is. I don't need no stinkin' topper. None of my current solid states have dolls on top and I've never missed 'em. Bring on the standard/special/whatever editions.

How is everyone not getting the Z? It's an actual keychain in the movie! Ultimate theme integration.

Plan on 2024 and be pleasantly surprised by anything sooner.

You don't want the first impression to be "game is brutal" for everyone this side of a Sharpe brother.

Nah, screw that. First people aren't allowed to say anything negative in an owner's club, and now hype threads should be free of criticism? Maybe delicate fanboys need to start private facebook groups for each game where you can vet membership and police opinions above & beyond the level of pinside moderation.

Actually I think those facebook groups already exist. I see them suggested but never join.

Yet it seems like you're the one doing the most barking.

^ This is the way.

On the subject of sound, I gotta say Divine Intervention is incredible. Otherworldly, disorienting, alternating between angelic & demonic vibes, perfectly nails the impression of being in limbo, on the edge of the afterlife. Which isn't something that should even be possible in a simple pinball machine.

If you're like me and will probably never get there via skill, watch Karl DeAngelo's playthrough video.

FWIW, callouts sound consistently rough to me on every PF I've played and streams I've watched. Just assumed it's a limitation of the source material. Too bad, but whatcha gonna do.

(with the exception of new custom speech like "we're losing light, people!")

^ I agree with all of this in general, but in this specific case even the art is a near-repeat of the backglass. Just completely superfluous in every way. Go back to the drawing board.
