Quoted from mof:
What if it were "best original music" ?

I think the category was “Best Music and Sound Effects”. There is no question that IMDN’s sound design is simply stunning. Most impressive sound package In a new game in years.

Overall this was well done, watched the stream. Certainly a few cringe-worthy moments but that is part of pinball’s charm.

I think they should change best mod to best new mod.

And add a side category for the main game awards “critic’s choice” and the others “player’s choice”. This would give low-run games a better chance at being recognized vs having to grab the awareness of the masses to be included. For example, no way that ACNC shouldn’t have been nominated (and possibly won) in the best artwork and best animations catgeories. Critic’s choice would be a small group of qualifies people who obviously must have seen/played every nominated game.

Also maybe expand to 4 finalists in some categories to give more games exposure.

All in good fun, hopefully more designers etc. can be in attendence next time.

Quoted from aztarac:
So, who was the d-bag booing? Certainly Pinsiders know who it was and need to out the guy.

Guy was probably loaded. No point obsessing over it and making all the discussion about that. Unfortunate but some people shouldn’t drink.

I get that this is just a popularity contest and is extremely limited by the fact that most people voting will have never seen many of these games in person (or maybe at all). Having said that, I feel that ACNC should have done better in the artwork category, and honestly Thunderbirds has some pretty cool toys on the playfield and should have been higher there.

Quoted from gouveia:
I agree. Last year the category was best NEW mod. But this year it was more confusing. Write-in your favorite mod?! That’s a pretty big list. When I finally watched it on YouTube, there was even confusion as to how it was presented. Best mod of 2018? Favorite mod? I thought it was pretty ridiculous that my monkey wound up competing against Pinstadium and ColorDMD. Pinstadium was created two years ago. ColorDMD was created before that. So if these two continue to be nominated year after year, new game-specific mods won’t stand a chance. For the award to be taken seriously, it needs to be for new mods created each year, just like every other new game/theme/art etc. award. It’s like voting for Indiana Jones as best theme every single year. (which is how I would vote if I could.)

Totally agree! They should just give Color DMD and Pinstadium lifetime achievement awards and move on...
