Quoted from DanQverymuch:https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/rick-amp-morty-pinball-from-spooky?tq=Family+mode&tu=
Maybe they'll have a "no humor" mode too, for all the humorless, uptight geezers.
I think the younger generation has way more issues with profanity and sexual content. Remember, Boomers were part of the free love hippie generation. We were OK with Playboy and Penthouse being on the shelves at the grocery store in the checkout line. We were OK with hard-R sex scenes in wide release movies. We were OK with scantily clad women on pinball machine backglasses and playfields. We believed in free speech and free will. And by *We* I mean both men and women.
Its the generations that came after it, Gen-X to some extent but mostly the Millennials, who have self-sensored themselves.
Boomers were very concerned about the government censoring what they could say and do. Millennials don't need any government involvement when it comes to censorship, they constantly censor each other.
I made the the Boomer cut by 19 days, so even though I am technically a Boomer, I am too young to have enjoyed the freedoms of self expression Boomers had, but I am old enough to have had to suffer through 100% of all the finger pointing and self-hatred of the following two generations; bad timing on my parent's part I guess.
Now back to your regular scheduled Rick and Morty programming, er, I mean personally bashing each other to bits on a pinball forum.
Quoted from Rarehero:I think there’s more context to it. People have finally been given the courage and power to speak up against exploitation, sexism, and rape culture. Gratuitous sex scenes in movies didn’t exist to further a story - it was there because audiences would pay to see tits. Comedians like Andrew Dice Clay were popular because of the “You can’t see this on TV” nature of the material...but, the comedy was generally “look at the tits on dat broad!”. Culture & comedy evolve every 5-10 years. The younger generation still likes profanity & sex in media - but not if it’s creepy, bigoted, exploitative or exclusionary.
I disagree, but I have no issue with you having your own opinion.
Quoted from ThatOneDude: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.
I disagree, but I have no issue with you having your own opinion.
Quoted from usandthem:Oh man. I've rarely seen such high expectations for a game. And we know what that usually leads to. But, this isn't a Stern, so maybe it will actually live up to the hype.
The isn't going to be Jesus walking on water, it's going to be a pinball machine. The fan driven hype behind this machine can, of course, never live up to the reality of what it will be; a ball in a box.
I can hear it now after the reveal, "What, it's just a pinball machine? I'm out!".
Well, not those exact words, but pretty much those words.
Quoted from Borygard:It's a Williams WPC design.

It it a variant of the WPC design and is backwards compatible with WPC games that use this mech. However, we did make some small changes, one of them being the wing nut.
Quoted from estrader:Need some type of game action before I decide.
I believe SpookyLuke said in an earlier post this would happen.
Quoted from Cheeks:Trying to buy a Spooky bowling shirt. Why won't the page load?
OK, now that is funny.
Quoted from GrimDog:watch the video...
Pickle Rick will be there, and in a better place than he currently is on the prototype.
~$75 custom (second) ball trough; no one cares. $25 bash toy that leans back when a ball hits it; orgasm?
I'm not a Spooky insider, but it seems to me that the money was spent on *true* ball interaction.
Am I seeing 3 physical balls locks on this playfield? Had this EVER been done?
It's a great time for pinball... So amazing we have so many choices.
Spooky rules man. I love the indie vibe they give off.
Having said that, I also own The Munsters, Jurassic Park, Elvira, and CGC's Monster Bash.
It's a great time to be alive.
Quoted from rotordave:Have you ever had tooling made up to produce things?
I’m guessing not. It costs a shitload.
The only way it is viable is to make 10,000s of parts and spread the initial cost across them all.
Doesn’t work for 750 items. Unless you want a $150 per each plastic spaceship.

You get it man... Now for the other 10,000.
Quoted from northerndude:I would seriously like to know the actual % of this game compared to amount sold as being a first time NIB for the buyers.
This is my first NIB.
99.9%, apparently.
There's nothing wrong with being Small Spooky or, for that matter, Big Stern; two different companies thiving in the amusement industry on their own terms.
"America. What a country!"
Quoted from pinheadpierre:Thanks. I’ve seen it. BIG DIFFERENCE - Morty shoves the seeds up his ass himself. Those don’t get the difference are the problem. There’s an enormous difference between being edgy and what this “bash toy” concept described. If you’re into this type of thought, maybe change your avatar to the attempted rapist king/mayor in season 1 who Morty escapes and who later, rightfully gets his head blown off.
It's a cartoon. No actual assholes were actually penetrated.
Quoted from Rarehero:Won’t need them, Spooky does their own “Mantis style” protectors in the scoop which keeps scoops from wearing/chipping.
The *protector* is actually built into the scoop assembly; another Danesi design.
Quoted from KingofGames:I wonder what the Rick target above the Summer,Beth and Jerry target is for.
Trust me, it's special.
Quoted from FuryosJustin:... it looks like he maybe not the original main artist, and an associate artist that does merch etc for adult swim.
The other R & M artists live in China.
Wait a minute....
Am I imagining things or is flooble crank code for *penis* in many of these posts?
Please, someone clarify. I hate not knowing.
Quoted from JustEverett:Evidence contradicting your posts.

Yes the guy made a horrible joke that was not funny. He apologized for it.
Wait... His *crime* is pretending to have sex with a doll? That's not a crime even if he actually had sex with it.
Bad taste? OK, maybe, whatever. But who has so little problems in their life that they have time to make an issue of this?
Quoted from hawkmoon:Came tonight U.P.S.,on the porch
But how did the TAPE look?
2 weeks later
Quoted from jonesjb:There appeared to be:
-12 legitimate shots to the upper inner loop
There were 8 clean shots:
5 shots hit the wall at it's vertical portion, absorbing the momentum...
I've played dozens of games on this machine.
The easiest shot is the right ramp, the second easiest shot is the orbit shot from the upper flipper.
All of this "Is the upper orbit shot easy/reliable?" talk will vanish when machines start shipping.
Quoted from MikeS:Is the upper orbit shot easily loopable too? Would be fun if you can rip a few shots in a row and really get that spinner going!
Yes, easily loopable. Very.
As for shipping timeframe, I have zero to do with that. Pinball Life does not make pinball machines, we only make parts.
Quoted from OnTheSnap:How difficult is the portal garage shot from upper flipper?
Hardest shot in game (off the tip of the upper flipper).
Sometimes you can get to the garage via the right orbit, but other times you are locked out by the diverter. Sometimes only the upper flipper garage shot is lit (like for a super jackpot). The game knows from which direction the ball entered the garage because of optos.
