As a owner of both TNA and ACNC, along with being a huge Rick and Morty fan, this is a dream come true. Spooky games may not be for everyone, but I can’t wait to see what they do with this.

My personal favorite and has my vote.

this statement seems to contradict itself

do you actually mean that in order to purchase one direct from spooky that you need to be a fang club member? and if you want to purchase one from a distributor, you don't

inquiring minds want to know

I wouldn't have minded a ATHF pin at some point, but yea Metalocalypse would be cool too.

They got TWD pulled from under them? Didn't know that.

I think he means if you want to get one of the first games, you need to be a member, as they get first crack at ordering. Time will tell to see if there will be enough games to go around after members get dibs.

I've been asking for that one for years.

Sign me up for a William Murderface LE.

It means that Fang club members have a 2 week head start on getting on the list. After the 2 weeks, sales will open up to the general public. Will be the same whether you go through Spooky or from a Distro.

After Watching the clips posted here. Theres no way in hell Stern would do this theme. Wayyyyy to vulgar with the language and content.

Spooky is definitely the ones to show they are willing to do a title justice when it comes to that.

So spooky was perfect for R+M.

You need to a be fang club member to get an early game, period. Then decide whether you want to buy it direct from Spooky or a distributor.

Have they even used a swear word since Met? lol

You need to be a Fang Club member to purchase a Blood Sucker Edition.

You can buy either a standard, or Blood Sucker Edition from any Spooky distributor or directly from Spooky.

Remember when AC/DC first came out and there was a segment of pinside that thought that they had too much devil references in it?

Yep.

Thankfully, when in need, my T-2 will still tell me "F#@k You A$$hole"

I wanna say GOTG has one hidden somewhere, IM had a bit of gore. But no Stern is definitely Stayed PG as of late. Id be surprised if they change anytime soon.

Thats why im a Spooky fan. I like my sterns too. But im always excited to see what spooky has next.

Stern did:

South Park with a carpet munching mode.
Sopranos with F F F F F constantly.
Family Guy with tons of profanity, anal jokes, abortion jokes, etc.
Metallica with “Jack-fuckin’-pot!”
TWD with gore galore.

Stern has no problem with adult games if the licensor approves.

I mean, Stern did Walking Dead, a show which features at least one gruesome zombie or human death per episode, where they use every swear except the F and C words. The match sequence is a zombie digging through a pile of intestines. Stern also did Metallica of JACK-FUCKING-POT fame. They included "this man has no dick" in a Ghostbusters mode start callout. Dunno where people got the idea that Stern is some pearl-clutching G-rated company.

And I'm sure Spooky won't include all of the super vulgar R&M content, as much as some people apparently want that. Most of the show's humor and sci-fi appeal isn't that vulgar. It's just easy to cherry-pick that stuff and post it.

Sex is sacred!

Going to check out this R&M thing. What channel is it on?

Cartoon Network

Cartoon Network, during Adult Swim.

Back catalog is on Hulu (apparently unbleeped).

Im a FANG member, someone get me on a list!

Finally a new pinball game I am actually really interested in, and if it is good like I hope it is, I most likely won't be able to get one. Oh the irony.

I watched the first few episodes in Season 1 last night on Hulu and it was still bleeped. Is there a separate version?

I am now an official Fang Club member too.

Adult Swim & Hulu.
Select episodes are free here if you don’t have a TV Provider or Hulu:
https://www.adultswim.com/videos/rick-and-morty

If you have a Roku, you can install the Adult Swim channel and they run the whole series there constantly.

This might be weird, but I actually think I prefer it with the bleeping. It was the same thing with South Park. I watched it on TV and though it was funny, but then watched the DVDs and though they were less funny with all the swearing. I'm not quite sure why that was.

Wow this thread has legs! 11 Pages in less than 24 hours!

Sure didn't peter out as fast as that Led Zeppelin thread.

Sounds more like the way stern operates...

I would reluctantly give it a miss if it was from stern, due to inferior build quality essentially. Given it is Spooky, I'm on the list!!

Folks still think Elvira isn't dirty enough despite it breaking pinball smut ground with not only Pinball's first 69 joke on the playfield, but also pinball's first anal sex joke plastic!! We are talking history here people!

Sorry, guess I was misinformed from another post, that's why I hedged my statement with "apparently."
Apparently not?

I know I've seen unbleeped on YouTube but I imagine those were DVD rips that have been since removed.

Edit: I just checked rickandmorty.com and it's there too, for free, but still bleeped.

Dang, unbleeped was even funnier! Guess I need some DVDs. (Or BluRay, but that's overkill for animation. Unless there are a lot of extra goodies!)

Season 3 is when they stopped bleeping it

I'm fine with it either way. Like lpeters82 said, sometimes it's funnier when things are bleeped. Remember the Tiny Toons character Fowlmouth that swore every other word and was bleeped? Same effect here I think.

I know they lets some "shit"s go unbleeped but not all. I guess there's a max quota?

They were the first with the recent pf issues that impacted a handful of us. Mainly went unnoticed by the numbers compared to the JJP/sterns.
To their credit they were responsive, have since resolved issues, and will consider a future purchase.

Sometimes bleeps are funnier, all right:

(Where's that Muppets game I keep hearing rumors about?)

This is actually very common for many 'vulgar' comedy shows. You get used to everything being bleeped and mentally that actually makes it funnier. When you hear it without the bleeps it generally doesn't seem as funny. Just some mind trick thing.

What a weird thread. It's like Judgment...the Thread.

We've got people who maybe have never heard or seen the show, thinking this pin will sink. Then people who are ardent fans judging those unfamiliar with ageism and derisive comments.

It's all just ugly, and gross.

On the other hand, this can bring an entirely different energy. Ala people that are into pinball, might watch the show and enjoy it. New fans! (I just started downloading the show last night myself!) And then people that aren't into pinball and love the show, will play pinball. New fans!

So new fans all around can ONLY be a good thing! So let's all maybe try to be a little less judgmental, and more encouraging of one another, eh?

Side note, it's media. Media we are fans of. Not necessarily media we've created. So maybe taking an approach of not dying for media on a sword, one direction or another, is a smart approach as well. And also, we criticize people jumping blindly at Munsters, Elvira, etc, so why not feel similarly in this manner?

I can't see this game as anything other than a BIG positive, whether I'm a fan, a buyer or end up being neither. I know I'm definitely a player, and without a doubt this game will garner pinball some new and NECESSARY attention, to ground it more towards a sustainable future, than a possibly dying past. There's no harm in that, that's for sure!

No need to get reasonable!

I know, I was one of them. And was taken care of in less than 15 minutes after reporting it. Not getting into details, but it was not caused by the quality of the wood or the clearcoat.

That's what I've been seeing, as well(the post you quoted, that is). I think that the operative idea is that there is a backlash to punching down. I spend a lot of time with millenials, and they are every bit as raunchy and funny as my generation ever was. The difference is that they go for almost bitter sarcasm and self deprecation over the old comedic standby of "edgy" crudeness. So, as someone else pointed out, they love old Carlin, but tend to dislike shock comics like Clay. Also, absurdism is pretty much ascendent. Every cartoon these days seems to be like a call back to Monty Python at some level.
So, raunchy content? Sure, but make it have a point. T&A for the sake of shock and titillation? Not much of a draw when damn near any physical act or visual that you could possibly want is a google search away.
In fact, I'll give you a concrete example that I just ran across. I mentioned Revenge of the Nerds, and none of the millenials thought it was very funny. We discussed it, and it turns out that when your best friend was roofied at a party and then gaslit about it, Skolnick and Betty aren't so funny. And watching another girl get her life wrecked by her boyfriend spreading pics that he took without her consent makes the whole pie plate bit a lot less amusing.

But those Deltas had it coming!

And explain how that is weird for Pinside?

God Season 3 was great.

Another swing, another miss

I wasn't being serious. REVENGE of the Nerds?

No bleeps on Netflix.

First 3 seasons.

Ooh! Ooh! Hadn't checked there! That's BLEEPing excellent!
