Laser Cue sequel?

I consider GOTLE to be a strong-female-themed pin. Daenerys Targaryen owns the dragons, and the dragons make the game. Also, half of the callouts were done by a woman.

Quoted from gdonovan:

Women generally love Game of Thrones, excellent example.

also, Stranger Things...definitely has a female at the center of the game.

I think Stern and JJP have both done a decent job overall of building inclusive titles. Lots of examples already mentioned in this thread. The secret recipe is strong female lead + explosions, fire, sci-fi or horror (GOT, STh). Or rock bands that appeal to men and women equally (AS, LZ, GNR).

Quoted from gdonovan:

We do cover them up when not in use, I tried to get dark curtains but she nixed the idea.

I asked my wife if I could just spray-paint the window black, then the blackout curtain became HER idea. Always think ahead one move...

I want a Barbarella pin just so I can beat Duran Duran in the wizard mode. “Blow Up the Excessive Machine!”

Quoted from TreyBo69:

Wrong about what? Time in linear and I’m younger than most of the farts in this thread by decades.

Oh good, let’s morph this into an ageism thread. /s

#276 3 years ago

Underworld and Resident Evil always seemed like perfect pin licenses to me, and TBH I was disappointed when Stern’s first zombie game was TWD (though I love it now). Kate Beckinsale and Milla Jovovich are huge action heros, and it’s weird not to see them represented. I blame the Stern/Marvel/Disney corporate incest for that. [Edit: on second thought I blame the license holders, because Stern’s not stupid]

[Edit 2: I’m self aware enough to realize that not many women are interested in these themes]

Quoted from MegaFeenix:

(I am a man that likes a lot of female targeted media.).

Wait what??

I’m also guilty of this. I loved the new movie about Billie Eilish and her brother. I listen to Shawn Colvin.

Still...you couldn’t find a female friend who likes pinball to start this thread on the good foot?

Quoted from pinballcorpse:

However, in the spirit of the thread, SOF just could not be a "female theme", though. I mean LIONWOMAN just doesn't sound right

Quoted from greenhornet:
