Zach, can you and the crew touch on the idea of Stern continuing to release a "home use" level pin for a majority of their pins? With the prices we see creeping up it doesn't sound outrageous that Stern (or other companies) start to release a home level pin at a cheaper price. A pin not made for the demands of routing (pros) or collectors/fanatics of a particular theme (prem/le).

If it is only to address anger then direct it all towards David Dennis with Silverball Chronicles.
But yeah it is Travis (left), Tom (center), and I’m Joel on the right.

Awesome to have Drew as a guest this week. Really fun. Does this mean that we'll have Zach co-host a Poor Man's episode sometime soon?
As far as the new JP homepin goes, the big improvement I see over the SW Pin is the code. I watched an old VOD of Jack playing the SW Pin, and he literally beat the entire game in 5 minutes on ball 1! There is just no code to that game.
However, with JP Pin, in the span of an hour only one of 3 really good players managed to get to the Nublar wizard mode. And no-one got to the second wizard mode. So that bodes well for better lastability. In fact, I'm worried it might be a bit too hard to progress. I do wish that completing the Dino modes involved more than just hitting the same shot over and over, but I understand the limitations they face, and scope they're going for.
Honestly, I wish Stern would release a slightly more expensive version with coin mechs. I would totally buy one to put on-route if they did.

So by your own logic you also hate outlane kickbacks and the saucer thingy on World Cup Soccer.
Also, ball saves.
Besides, if that theme song doesn’t get your blood pumping every single time then you’re already dead inside before you even plunge ball 1, so the magnet is largely irrelevant.
Quoted from Insanity_Falls:[quoted image]
Not featured is the broken Rollergames immediately to my right which made me sad until I remembered how much I love the shirt I was wearing.
Don’t tell Zach though, if he asks then I think it’s crap and I only bought it so I could inevitably ruin it with pit stains.
Just remembered I took a pic of the one I mentioned in this post. I turned it on when they weren’t looking and started a game just to listen to the music, hahaha.

Nah, apples and oranges still. You use a flipper to hit the ball based on skill. An auto kickback doesnt require skill. The player-controlled saucer on WCS is weak as well, but it's more gimmick-based without being the central feature/mech. Just my take.
Take away the saucer-assist and WCS is still fantastic. Take away the magnet on RG and youve got, well, a shit theme, shit art, nothing special on rules, but yes, the music is great, the layout is nice (if youve never played High Speed ), the little coded flick of the ball from the dugout is phenomenal, and the start of Multiball is a great Pinball Moment.
It's not a bad game, but it gets too much love

lol I’m just being a little shit about the magnet, I actually agree with you about it except for one thing: it’s a FANTASTIC way to show a new player that shot and how it works. It tutorializes a gameplay feature that might not be immediately clear to a new player. And, lest we all forget, Rollergames was supposed to be a pretty massive license in a time when licensed pins were scarce so they were probably expecting a lot of earnings to be from the casual crowd. Combine that with the fact that upper flippers were still pretty uncommon at the time so it probably wasn’t unreasonable to expect a casual player to not even notice that shot was up there, and the magnet actually starts to make a heck of a lot of sense for a game made in 1990.
Meanwhile, the hardcore crowd could just unplug it and move on.
Product of its time, that game. But that’s what makes it so damn special.

I could listen to him interview the toilet from Junkyard and probably still hang on every word.

He's one of my favorite interviewers ever because he is very knowledgable and just a truly great guy.

If I had to attempt to describe it, I would say that instead of working down his list of questions, he actively listens to what his interview subject is saying and follows up with whatever is clearly the next most logical question.
Just an absolute pleasure to listen to, with the gentlemanly southern drawl on top.
PS - Explain to me in excruciating detail how the Godzilla magnet dribbling the ball down to the upper flipper for an easy layup is a work of genius without sounding like a complete hypocrite about Rollergames, go.

Well, again, while I see where you’re coming from, it’s still very different. One requires zero skill whereas the other requires timing, thus…skill
Quoted from ZMeny:Well, again, while I see where you’re coming from, it’s still very different. One requires zero skill whereas the other requires timing, thus…skill
I mean paying close enough attention to the game to see that a magnet grabbed your ball is a skill too, so is it just a matter of skill dick size?
I actually can’t remember, is the flipper dead on RG while the magnet gets set up? If you can fuck up the ball coming to rest on the magnet then avoiding doing so also requires game knowledge and impulse control.
Note to self: double check the exact rules mechanics of the upper Rollergames flipper instead of whatever other important shit I had planned to do for the next 15 minutes.
Quoted from ZMeny:Well, again, while I see where you’re coming from, it’s still very different. One requires zero skill whereas the other requires timing, thus…skill
Similar timing in rollergames. You wait to flip until the ball comes to a complete stop or else risk missing the shot.
Timing the release of the Zilla magnet at the right time so as you don’t miss the subsequent shot there either.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Similar timing in rollergames. You wait to flip until the ball comes to a complete stop or else risk missing the shot.
Timing the release of the Zilla magnet at the right time so as you don’t miss the subsequent shot there either.
Does it not stop the ball completely, then even call out “Don’t Flip”, then call out “Flip”?
In other words, are there tons of skill if every flipper had multiple magnets in front of it to stop the ball and tell you when to flip?
Quoted from ZMeny:Does it not stop the ball completely, then even call out “Don’t Flip”, then call out “Flip”?
Nope. It makes that call out before the ball comes to a complete stop. Lots of times if you’re flip when they say it’s too early.

I know this is just friendly banter (and I've never even played a Rollergames so I probably shouldn't even offer an opinion) but the magnet integration with Godzilla seems a lot more dynamic than magnets I've seen in games to date.
It's pretty sweet when you make a shot to the building and it comes back around that mini loop, passes the magnet without fully sticking, and flicks up the left outer orbit briefly before it drops back down towards the upper flipper. That "feels" totally different than the "normal" scenario where the magnet is grabbed and held for a few seconds and dropped.
I guess by virtue of the magnet being off of the ball path (under a plastic, between shots) it allows the magnet to influence the ball more often without fully grabbing it.. and the "swinging" motion is a lot more interesting than the ball just freezing directly over a magnet that might be out in the open somewhere.

I mean yeah the magnet has five(?) different things it can do with the ball, it’s just that one of those things is setting up a “free” shot to the upper flipper. That’s the particular behavior I’m referencing.
