Quoted from chuckwurt:

They need to get someone to make a ton of those in a normal cabinet.

...and with GI.

But anyway, back to ST, tons of score music please. Like someone else said, I don't need a top 40 countdown in this game (even though I love '80s pop).

#360 4 years ago
Quoted from Goronic:

I am trying so hard to keep my expectations low on Stern's Stranger Things.

Mine are super low. I just don't see a game in this license. Great show, though.

#365 4 years ago

That would be the JJP cab.

#385 4 years ago

It's been a minute since the last Zombie Yeti game.

#502 4 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

What’s the last game to have 4 ramps?

Baywatch.

edit: everyone beat me to it! threads move fast around here, you can't even sleep

"There are three places the ball can be held in a scoop/saucer"

Ugh.

"The Upside Down is randomized and turns off and on, it happens at random points in the game, it could happen at any time. It’s a hurry up mode and you have to do something immediately to get out of the upside down then you get back to the real world."

Double ugh. Sounds like Winter is Coming meets Rollergames "go for the wall!"

Seems cool otherwise though. Fingers crossed.

#712 4 years ago
Quoted from Rockytop:

40 to 59 modes is nuts. Maybe they are at random so you only have the potential to play x amount in any particular game. I can't imagine having to play through that many modes to reach a wizard mode.

Hopefully they aren't cookie cutter bland like JJPOTC modes. At a certain point, more modes are a minus. Give me five good ones like Maiden.

#733 4 years ago
Quoted from kermit24:

You guys really think today is the day? I'm not so sure.

Breaking away with the beast of both worlds
A smile that you can't disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind

#799 4 years ago

Looks very Drew Struzan, which is a good fit since Kyle Lambert did the Stranger Things season posters in the style of Drew.

That said, I'm not in love with photorealistic pinball art in general.

#801 4 years ago
Quoted from TheLaw:

There is something to that. If it's too realistic then it juts looks like a picture, which takes you back to the photoshop days we weren't that happy with.

Yeah, I'm not heartbroken that a certain podcaster no longer works with Stern.

#804 4 years ago

Welp, you heard it here first, the projection thing sucks.

#805 4 years ago

"...currently resides in the suburbs of Chicago working from his home studio for clients and collectors around the globe."

Always better when the talent is local. Good fit for Stern.

#836 4 years ago
Quoted from dts:

This was a Mirco issue, seen across different companies, including Spooky with TNA.

Mirco does not make Spooky playfields.

#906 4 years ago
Quoted from bgwilly31:

CMONNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream

#981 4 years ago

Looks like a pin2k with a smaller screen.

#1006 4 years ago

My least favorite kind of playfield art. Montage of characters with a huge pile of inserts that don’t interact with the artwork in any meaningful way. Playfield art should “know” it’s in a pinball machine. This reminds me of X-Files era Sega; hard pass.

#1067 4 years ago

Ho-hum pinball, HHP? Oh wait, that’s taken.

I like NST, it says Netflix almost as big as the main logo right on the backglass.

NST, and the LE can be NeSTLE!

Similar to afm but with that far left shot

Quoted from Rarehero:

You don’t think Franchi is using a Wacom & Photoshop & painting over? Okaaaaaay.

Quoted from jonesjb:

Definitely not. It's very likely Franchi uses a Wacom as part of his process, but he is not painting over. As I understand, his art is his creation as an illustrator.

LOL

#3413 4 years ago
Quoted from pinmister:

I am digging the Premium art the best and wondering what powder color would look good?

Black wrinkle looks great. The art is vivid & colorful; let the armor be a frame.

Or, you know, go fucking crazy. Whichevs.

Quoted from MapleSyrup:

I’m not sure if I’m in or out. I might wait until I play it myself.

GTFO with that levelheaded reasoning. Canadians, can’t take ‘em anywhere.

I never understood the disdain for plastic ramps. Long-term durability I guess? But that's a non-issue for you trailer queen collectors. They look great depending on the title. I actually prefer them in most cases, much cleaner look.

#5976 4 years ago
Quoted from drfrightner:

Huh? Its cheap!

I don't care how much something costs to make, I care how much I like it.

#6154 4 years ago
Quoted from Rascal_H:

Also Meguiar's carnauba.

Pretty sure that's similar to what I use, Mothers in the red can. Easy to find anywhere, and hard as a rock (sign of a good wax).

#6155 4 years ago
Quoted from kpg:

I bought a bottle, threw the P21S in the trash and never looked back.

Liar! Pinball guys don't throw anything out.

#6451 4 years ago

Stern defenders can rationally defend this move 'til they're blue (er, ultraviolet) in the face, but perception is reality. If customers feel like they got screwed, then it's a fail. You can't "logic" them out of an emotional reaction.

#6475 4 years ago
Quoted from CrazyLevi:

It's been alleged by Yancy that I masturbate to Stern offerings,

Looks like you hit the playfield this time.

#6476 4 years ago
Quoted from drained:

So stupid to have people buy another apron, extremely wasteful considering they had prior knowledge.

Yeah, that's the part that annoys me, just from a junk-filling-my-closet standpoint. Everyone ends up with a useless extra apron & plastics. Would've been a cheaper upgrade (or LE inclusion) without manufacturing redundant parts.

#6546 4 years ago
Quoted from mzhulk:

I hope stern comes out with more surprises

10k by xmas.

#6675 4 years ago

Show of hands, how many minds has Flynn changed?

#6904 4 years ago

Finally got a chance to play Stranger Things today.

#7054 4 years ago
Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Had no idea this exact moronic conversation has been going on at least 15 years. It hits all the exact same beats that get thrown out here 100 times a week now.

They even had a Levi!

#7057 4 years ago
Quoted from CrazyLevi:

And of course, he was right.

I'm not sure you want to hitch your wagon to that horse.

#7115 4 years ago
Quoted from Peanuts:

- Changed the default Demogorgon rule difficulty settings, i.e. Default = EASY.
Now the first Demogorgon Battle is qualified by completing one set of drop targets (spell RUN!)

I was hoping for exactly this change. Not so much for me, but casual players on location. Many won't survive two sets of drop plus a center shot to even see the first demogorgon. And three more sets for the multiball? Forget it.
