I just listened to the Fact check "Wrong" rant on EP.11. Loved it, very funny! Someone has to say something about the tabloids.

Glad to hear talk on virtual pinball. I think that is the fastest growing field and capable for head to head play.

Check out Blahcade podcast. Not as interesting as TPN but the start of something new in Virtual Pin. Like it or not you'll be dealing Virtual Pins in the next year,sooner if your smart. Get on board, so much more to offer.

"Pinball Market Trends Activated." Laughing so hard I started crying! I am re-listening to it now. Could not be more perfect to tell it how it is through another entity. Sorry to hear about how the AP video got hijacked. The first thing I thought of when I watched was how much work went into it. SDTM I prefer to watch over Dead Flip anyday.

I'm not saying names but it sounds like the new marketing for AP slipped. It sounds from the interview on the Pinball Players podcast like they wanted the big reveal to be on Saturday with JD and the SDM show contradicted that. If they had just let it go it wouldn't have made a difference. For what its worth SDM did a better job of marketing for AP then they have done themselves. And it was free!

Dennis, your always throwing Oktoberfest under a bus. This time its a D rated game because the theme is alcohol. True this may steer people away who have kids or don't drink for whatever reason. However there are just as many like me who like to party and laugh and bought it for that reason!
So according to you would Halloween be a D tier because Michael is going around killing people? How would you rate Big Lebowski #17 on the top 100 that has a physical white russian cocktail on it? If you want to rag the gameplay on Oktoberfest that is fine but the theme for many people in the midwest and internationally translates very well.

Still making them

I know you don't like the art, Joe Balcer design, and music which is fine, everyone is entitled to an opinion but I think making a connection between the theme and just alcohol is a stretch. If you go to a festival or play the game you will see its just as much about Gemutlichkeit, families, music, rides, and of course food!
Despite what anyone preconcieves about this theme look at these facts.
# of pinsiders who have Hot wheels on their want list 162.
The number for Oktoberfest is 218.
"Numbers don't lie"

Yes, I'm sure it is not in hot demand in south Dakota or Kansas.
I would like to see a winter theme game, I miss the old ski ones like wipeout and hot doggin. A winter olympic theme with a ski jump or bob sled would be neat.

Enjoy your break from podcasting Zach. Hope you return again soon, it's part of my weekly routine listening. See you in the Ville.

Zach, WTH? You didn't open with Mark Morrison's Return of the MacK? You are slipping from your time off my friend.

So I'm back up in the game
Running things to keep my swing
Letting all the people know
That I'm back to run the show
'Cause what you did, you know, was wrong
And all the nasty things you've done
So, baby, listen carefully
While I sing my comeback song
'Cause she said she'd never turn on me
(You lied to me) But you did, but you do
(You lied to me) All these pains you said I'd never feel
(You lied to me) But I do, but I do, do, do
It is
(Return of the Mack) Come on
(Return of the Mack) Oh my God
(You know that I'll be back) Here I am
(Return of the Mack) Once again
(Return of the Mack) Pump up the world
(Return of the Mack) Watch my flow
(You know that I'll be back) Don't you know

Spiderman, No way Home is the third highest grossing movie of all time. Yikes, there really is nothing else to watch out there. I'll take your advice Zach.

Our pet finch in the other room let out some chirps after hearing it from my computer. It was pretty funny. It entertains more than just people. Looking forward to the next one.

I just tried to get on tpn using my phone and computer and chrome gives me an unsafe webpage warning? Anyone else have this problem?
