Quoted from bigehrl:

i don't understand why people preemptively change those out. i get that they break often. but they don't ALWAYS break. and it's just as much work to replace it before they fail, as it is after. may as well ride 'em til they die, and get that much more play out of the part before starting to degrade a new part. makes no sense to me.

It's not preemptive. But they start to go in 250-500 games in my experience. And when I get a new game, that will be like 3 weeks of play. Just being prepared

Just re-watched the LE gameplay video. I haven't been this excited for a game in a long time. I love the foo's, love the art and concept and the game play looks awesome. It's going to be painful for me watching people start to get them as mine will be on the slow boat to New Zealand and I'm looking at something like July for mine to land.

Can't wait to get it!

Oh man, have to agree.
Was a tough decision,

I made the commitment with AMD the day before the release.
Something inside me said this is gonna be good.

I mentioned before that I am a Metal Head and never was a FF fan.

However...

The way Danger and team have integrated the band and the theme screams Fun !

Yeti is a champion and I love the story that is presented.
The game has sick flow with some cool features.
With TK and his code team there will be a stack of awesome moments in this pin.
Hopefully a ton of fun callouts with heaps of adult innuendo and humour to keep the game bolted to the floor.

So life is short, I said fuck it, I'll go for it still and figure out money sometime soon.

They didn't last 100 games in the only two games I've had new enough to evaluate at that few of plays. I figure might as well spare myself the brief time spent pondering if there's a flipper issue and taking a look at them + cleaning up the gold dust and just spend the quickly inevitably spent 5 minutes replacing them from the get-go.

ZY is one of Stern’s best assets. If he’s on a game I’m automatically interested.

TMNT is one of the best looking modern games, his style matched the theme 100% on that one and FF with what they’re going for looks the same.

No LEs (at least domestically) until the end of the month at the earliest, so probably won't be on the line for another week or so. They're doing location Pros now. I think last week was overseas.

Of all the new pins that have been announced recently, FF intrigues me the most. I really want to get one, but the problem is that I have to give up a pin to do so. Decisions, decisions... My rational mind is saying slow down, play FF first before committing to anything, but the addiction is real!

A little Friday BTS for ya!

Dreaming up the “Area 51” for the pro model of Foo Fighters Pinball.

I knew I wanted to fill this space in, since we didn’t have the upper playfield, but I wanted something more than just a flat plastic.

A stack of plastics that the ball could go THROUGH was the goal, to give the feel of coming through the doors of Area 51.

Mix that with awesome Zombie Yeti Studios art, and you get this bad boy! ❤️

Like most here, I too have been stoked about this game. However, after viewing game play on Twitch of 'normal' players having so short ball times, I am starting to wonder if this game is maybe just too fast and drainy for me. Seems like even Danger was having difficulty on the stream from Texas. Although in Jack's case, could be too fast a game for chat reading ....
