Quoted from stumblor:Haha awesome, I thought of that too but you nailed it! Looks awesome!! I thought you could mount two of them where the spotlights are?
Oooooh I see you Stumblor redoing the Area 51 building with some cool lighting effects !!!

Quoted from PinMonk:I meant main city modes.
Oh, I thought the rainbow jetpack was a city, nevermind.
70 pins have been put up in the marketplace in the last 24 hrs .Never seen that many in a single day prior to this .
Quoted from Lounge:For people griping about the lack of a 'death save post' on the pro - it would be pretty easy to have a mod that adds an additional flipper button that activates an up post that is only available under certain conditions. Arduino, coil, flipper button, blade switch, and a little bit of drilling and programming - could be a fun project for about $50. I'd take a crack at it but I'm buying a premium.
Maybe today's pro stream will let us see how and when it ejects a ball when overdrive is active.
Quoted from wolffcub:Thought about this already. Making it so if the insert is lit and the rollover is then it you can trigger the post, but they said the pro will instead do a ball save and just send another up the shooter lane before it even registers the drain. If you do install a post the game and do the death save the existing machine code will prob shoot a ball out and then your actually adding a second ball into play when you shouldn't. Or am I wrong?
Aaah - yeah, that would make the mod difficult.

The great rotation has begun.
I will be curious to see the lighting on the pro, tonight. Most of the lighting effects seem to be coming from the expression lighting. There were a few times during the stream were the whole play field lit up, however, most of the time it appeared subdued. Can’t tell if there’s any flashers anywhere, but that might be a good thing?
Can all the songs be selected up front like in other music pins? Seemed like only a set amount and the rest unlocked in modes.
Hope not but missed parts of stream.
Can anyone verify?
Quoted from yancy:Oh, I thought the rainbow jetpack was a city, nevermind.
Yeah, I'm a little disappointed that this is in the animations along with the 'let the freak flag fly' callout. Nothing against LGTBQ+XYZ but does it really NEED to be in a pinball machine?? Let pinball be pinball.
Quoted from Vino:Can all the songs be selected up front like in other music pins? Seemed like only a set amount and the rest unlocked in modes.
Hope not.
Can anyone verify?
8 are selectable
Quoted from PinMonk:I meant main city modes. I only saw one completed.
Nick (the game tester) completed three cities which opened up Austin a mini wizard multiball mode. So there is a third multi ball right there as well.

Sex and pinball have gone together for decades. There are a LOT of questionable backglass and playfield art in publicly available pins from the 70's especially. Just because it's not your sex or my sex doesn't mean it isn't sex.
Quoted from JDub03:Nick (the game tester) completed three cities which opened up Austin a mini wizard multiball mode. So there is a third multi ball right there as well.
Ah, didn't see that. When I went back to watch the stream, it was gone.

I'll just say I'm not surprised JD put it in the game. And it can be a bit of a political hand grenade - just would rather let the pin be a pin. Love the Foo and I am getting a premium - full disclosure.
Listen to the Stern podcast now. There will be action figures based on the game and they will interact with the topper somehow…

Let your freak flag fly isn't an LGBTQ+ thing, it's just an old counter-culture phrase
Quoted from MagnumChris:I struggle with a lot of things, but I don't know if I would want to lose my abitly of hyper-focusing or just how I'm good at problem solving when chaos is going on. I hate when you are 12 steps ahead on a problem and have it solved but you are with people that need to go through the other 11 steps to go, oh yea you are right. lol
Bro it's your FN super POWER!!!
Quoted from Jai151:Let your freak flag fly isn't an LGBTQ+ thing, it's just an old counter-culture phrase
Fair enough but coupled with the rainbow jetpack exhaust - I just don't see the need. Like I said, I don't care for it - love who you want and do whatever you want to do with your body - I just think pinball should be pinball.

To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a rainbow is just a rainbow
Quoted from yancy:I can't imagine letting someone ruin rainbows for me. Rainbows are awesome.
Whoa that’s a full rainbow. All the way. Double rainbow!
Quoted from kermit24:[quoted image]
Interesting. What is specifically said is
They actually are going to be, Jack correct me if I'm wrong, interacting physically
being able to be attached and used on your toppers when the topper comes out.
That sounds more like an old action figure playset than Amiibos

You could probably accomplish something by installing the premium code, and disabling all the premium stuff except for the deadpost. The hole is already on the pro playfield.

This game has made us all gay for Jack Danger. Just accept it.

I think it is more a hommage from Jack to Power Rangers just like the robot you have to assemble than a nudge to the LGBTQ community.
Jack really wants a Power Rangers pinball to exist just like a Golden Girls pinball.
Quoted from yancy:I can't imagine letting someone ruin rainbows for me. Rainbows are awesome.
It’s not like they are in the Bible or anything, oh wait.
Jack said "this game was in development when we lost Taylor Hawkins. it didn't feel right to do callouts without everyone represented, without Taylor"
Makes total sense. Hard to ask them to record callouts when their bandmate just passed.
He ended that with "but you know what, who knows..." So maybe they'll do it at some point. He did say they have a ton of non-band member callouts coming.
Quoted from Jai151:Let your freak flag fly isn't an LGBTQ+ thing, it's just an old counter-culture phrase
Exactly. Dave actual mentions this a couple of times I’m his autobiography. Nothing to do with any certain community

Completely understandable .As far as I’m concerned topic is closed .
This feels like the most interesting pro in a long time tbh. I know, people are sad about the deadpost, but as far as playfield action it looks great.
Quoted from Aurich:This feels like the most interesting pro in a long time tbh. I know, people are sad about the deadpost, but as far as playfield action it looks great.
Agreed looks great and while it's still expensive it's much less than the other's ..
I thinking pro... i have a wiz with a very similar upper playfield, and it frustrates me... I can add the dead post, so not a big deal there, and I like being able to see the capture ball. Since it still has metal hobbit trails, it doesn't look cheap (like a pro mando)
I’ve only watched a few minutes and love it. Going to avoid more streams so I can learn it by playing. Time to figure out how long the waitlists are…

Sucks that the second run is all the way in August. Huge gap in production making a bunch of games that are slow-moving.
Quoted from EternitytoM83:Wasn't Seth Davis in charge of Disney Infinity, aka the videogame where you purchased physical figures to unlock the characters inside the game?
Yes, I bet the action figures Zombie Yeti was talking about for the topper may link to that somehow

that actually works out as my birthday is in the first week of September
I only went first run because I don’t want to get bumped to ‘24 and swallow another price hike haha.Just like GZ ,FF’s looks like a “price hike” pin .

Safe to say that you probably wouldn't be down for a Village People pin?
