It's such a shame too because I honestly find the content of The EM Dungeon interesting and informative. But the presenter drives me insane. I don't know if he's trying to be a "character" or was trained in an older style, but his. Fo r c i b l y. S l o w. S y l l a b I c. S p e a k i n g. W i t h. A. P e r i o d. A f t e r. E v e r y. W o r d. Not only gives him a monotone, it becomes downright insulting after a while. I almost feel bad criticizing because he genuinely seems like a nice guy... but every now and then you hear him speak normally and it's like *arrrrrgh you're not getting paid by the second and I'm not stupid so why the hell can't you talk normal through your whole segment?! **
I don't mind the content. A transcript would be informative. But yeesh, I can't stand the narration anymore. It makes the segment incredibly painful to listen to especially driving down the road.

Quoted from CKrueger:

Use a podcast app with speed control. I speed up all podcasts to varying degrees, and it saves a ton of listening time. Most of them I do at 1.25x and they still sound normal. The EM Dungeon segment I put at 1.5x and it sounded fine.
In other news, how has nobody reported that Rick said "Lionman!" in the podcast? I'm so psyched for the callouts. I think I'm going to turn the "adult" callout percentage down real low, to up the shock value of Rick berating me. It'll also really stretch how long the game feels "new", as I hear new things every time I play.

Quoted from 6S3NC3:

I cant see a company that depends on sales to not have anything to sell.

Quoted from Mr68:

I enjoy profanity but my favorite thing is the censorship *BLEEP* in place of the actual word. Their use of it in the show is well done and I never seem to get enough of it. Makes me laugh each time and it's often better than cursing. And when you consider the origins of censorship and how creative people adapted and turned it against the machine, it makes it even better.
Pretty *bleeping* funny I think.

Quoted from ReallifePin:

I agree. I really hope they have the bleeps, at least on the ones that CAN be bleeped.

Quoted from Zablon:

Off that idea, the same sort of idea could be applied with a mode that is him belching.

Quoted from Zablon:

Gives me an idea for a crazy mode. Bleep mode. Rick starts into one of his tirades (with extra sauce) and every ball hit (target) bleeps over what he's saying. Make the objective simply bleep as much of the tirade as you can in that time. Score tallied by % of tirade bleeped.

Quoted from Whysnow:

don't worry... they dont
If they did, it would be sold already. Then again, when games in the early 100s have sold for 1k premium over deposit... do you really expect to get anything extra for a spot that is more than 1/2 year out at best?
For anyone shopping, there are distributors with spots still available for no premium.

Quoted from jonesjb:

Sounds like a midnight madness mode

Quoted from TigerLaw:

It would be incredible to have a midnight madness, 1 am madness, 2 am madness, holy crap your still up at 3 am madness...

Quoted from toyotaboy:

Thank you, thought I was the only one. My wife thinks his speaking is very fake and can't stand it, so i just fast forward.

Quoted from jonesjb:

My guess is once a more comprehensive gameplay video streams and people have a chance to play it, the premium over the deposit will drop by half or at least double. Reception will dictate the trajectory.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Then when Dave said X-Men is the best Stern I skipped the F out of that segment lol

Quoted from rotordave:

I did that just for you.

Quoted from Zablon:

So then the question becomes, does this game have a clock in the code?

Quoted from Lounge:

Not sure about Spooky but all my other games, you can set date/time. And any computer can have a clock.

Quoted from Chitownpinball:

No. Just an option to have a bleeped version of the “bad” call outs would be better.
I like the % thing but Id also like a bleep version or option. Like ozzy on the osbournes. It was funnier on tv than on dvd when it was uncensored. I dunno, maybe thats me.

Quoted from Zablon:

Quoted from epthegeek:

epthegeek: What's the chance of getting a time-of-day based family mode setting, for locations which are open to all ages during daytime, but only to adults in the evening?
Shouldn't be a problem. Bowen actually already has this on the wish list, but it is not implemented yet - mostly because I don't have a production game with the right CPU in it to incorporate and test setting the time & date in the service menu.
tldr; That's the intent, but maybe not right at launch.

Quoted from MikeS:

I was planning to do the same thing. I was thinking of trying somewhere around 30% to give a good balance of callouts from both the adult and the edited clips. I think if you go too low or too high you risk losing the variety of pulling from both sources.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

Anybody get their Fang Club goodies yet? I understand it will likely be a while but wanted to know if people who joined the club earlier gotten their goodies and what they were.

Quoted from Spelunk71:

I hope there will be an option to completely randomize the callouts from both sources to avoid having to change settings to hear everything. The variety would keep things interesting.

Quoted from Whysnow:

correct and why I always pay them with a check.
As for person asking about add-on list; I dont have it handy but am sure luke or someone from team spooky could post it.

Quoted from 6S3NC3:

This would give them something to sell for the next 18 months! I cant see a company that depends on sales to not have anything to sell. This would sell like hot cakes uf done proper.

Quoted from metallik:

They're going to be shipping $70K worth of R&Ms per week here very shortly. But yes, topper would be great addition to their catalog.

Quoted from Rarehero:

It means they don’t have to be salesmen, pushing product. They’ll still be collecting payments for 18 months as they build the 750 games.

Quoted from Zablon:

You can never be too careful.

Quoted from TigerLaw:

It would be incredible to have a midnight madness, 1 am madness, 2 am madness, holy crap your still up at 3 am madness...

Quoted from metallik:

It'd be nice to have a midnight madness that actually went off at midnight... WPC clocks never keep proper time.

Quoted from Zablon:

I don't allow liquid near my pins. Or smokers. Or players. Actually I keep them vacuum sealed in a hermetically sealed room. These things aren't cheap. On the rare occasion I dare lessen the value by flipping them I go in dressed like this:

You can never be too careful.

Quoted from 6S3NC3:

Offering a topper would not be pushing product just like offering a Rick and Morty pin that sold out in <4h. They did not need a single sales guy to do that either. If they make a topper this will sell itself and create more capital for Spooky. I bet its not that easy with the License and would need approval just like everything else. They needed salesmen when they were pushing ACNC where Rick and Morty merch will just sell itself.

Quoted from JustEverett:

I have always thought that guy is hilarious. His tone fits the EM Dungeon theme imo.

Quoted from razorsedge:

I like the segment. I find it interesting. It also demonstrates a degree of eloquence that I can appreciate, and which is unfortunately lost on most people these days.
