I’m I being asked to remind you boomers to not get horny on main or to remind you that things don’t make a good pinball theme just because you remembered it once existed?

Either way. Happy to offer my services.

Enough already about bands, movie themes, remakes and the likes. Here’s a collaboration for yer. The art, colours, lights, sounds, stadiums, cheering crowds, pits, flip trick - wire form ramps, collision targets. Choose your driver. Player 1 “Grave Digger” Player 2 “El Toro Loco. Player 3 “Megalodon. Player 4 “Monster Mutt Dalmatian” Freestyle bonus points. Race track illuminations. Trick mode. Same player drives again.

What pinball really needs next is more trucks!

This would make a good home pin for 9-12 year olds

We heard your request and give you the following...

I don't think original themes sell anymore, but Monster Trucks is a fun original pinball theme idea.

Before Iron Maiden and before Archer, didn't Keith call that layout "Monster Trucks vs Dinosaurs" or something like that? Fun goofy idea

Sooo.. where are we at? Is the next cornerstone to be Venom, BTTF, Ozzy or even Jaws?

Can't see Jaws anymore, not after Bond - e.g. even such a great licence like Bond got it's usual flak. Can't imagine with Jaws!

WWE with trucks, essentially. Given WWE's legendary failure in sales, I doubt this will happen.

The next pin *could* be a music pin because the Spike2 cornerstone music pins are released in the Late Dec-early Mar timeframe. But if a music pin isn't next, it's likely another year before one given the historical pattern. I'd REALLY LIKE to see an Ozzy pin. SO MUCH material to work with. Black Sabbath is still an acceptable substitution, but Ozzy would be the top choice.

Couldnt find the image but Jack posted a picture of the millennium falcon with the illuminati eye like he did for revealing the code name of his home pin (the minnow from Gilligan's island). Been trying to think how the millennium falcon could be interpreted, but coming up short on ideas. I thought Futurama cause of the space ship and the show started on the millennium, outside that not sure what other connections could be made

Bank it.

I don't know that he'd be my first choice to do a Futurama pin, but he certainly wouldn't be my last choice either!

Futurama- Thundercougarfalconbird

Considering his recent presence with Stern, I Don't Know, but looks like it wouldn't be a Shot in The Dark that One of Those Days we'll see a N.I.B. pinball with Ozzy's name on it!

Idk about what's next, but perusing the USPTO database I saw a couple things that caught my eye

Hulu has trademark protections for pinball machines now

Dreamworks filed a lot for kiddie shows (I assume this is part of their partnership with Zen Studios)

Squid Game showed up, but it's covering just about any and every item that could exist. I don't know what a Squid Game game would look like and really doubt it will happen, but color me intrigued.

Universal has pinball machines in a lot of their trademarks, including events at their theme parks. Universal Theme Park as a pinball theme could work? But I doubt it's anything like that

Probably a lot of nothing, but sometimes you strike gold like Rick and Morty or most American Pinball games.

I would love a Black Sabbath machine but in reality it’s a licensing nightmare. I believe we will see a Ozzy pin as the next music pin out of stern. Fingers crossed

I like the guy, but has anyone else noticed a handful of other off putting symbolism from him? He oft speaks of illuminati, wears all red shoes, recently got a tattoo of a fable witch’s house that supposedly eats children. Please don’t burn me for asking. I just wondered if anyone else picked up on it. No judgement.

That’s a fair call! I guess Monster Jam could get bumped across to a smaller tier or boutique manufacturer. Similar to “Hot Wheels” just because there’s a huge fan base and multi $m in net worth merch sales, probably wouldn’t equate to eyebrow raising pin sales. And if another motor vehicle/bike theme were to surface I’d wanna see some backglass game integration like “Banzai Run”. Like that’s ever gonna happen again any time soon!

If WWF, which has interesting design theme integration with the upper pf wrestling ring but sat around as stock on the shelves for months, then there’s an anticipated risk for developers.

I’m guessing sports themes are now considered too passe and a thing of the past, already overdone during the last century. Ohhh well.. back to block busters and bands.

Meh. Do you believe KISS worship the devil and their name means Knights in Satan's Service? Some stuff is performative or image-based and lots of people like to talk about illuminati and weird stuff. Where it goes wrong is when they start ACTING on fantasy stuff or conspiracy theories and hurting people. I don't think the stuff you've noticed is anything more than his casual interests or stuff that fascinates him personally. When he starts hurting himself or other people, let me know and we can take him down with the KISS army.

If Jack Danger were a (…checks notes…) Evil Sorcerer. His name would be Jack Sorcerer.
This much is obvious.

His back tat is the coolest.

Wait, what’s the deal with all red shoes? I have shoes that are red…never thought it meant anything I just liked them

Short answer: It doesn't mean anything, except maybe that red's an exciting, punchy choice for shoes and clothes.

But...that doesn't stop people from making crazy conspiracy theories about hollywood elite, "red shoe men" and pizza-centric pedophile rings and all sorts of other nonsense. Total waste of time entertaining the weirdos that espouse the stuff.

So he posted this on instagram this morning, hold on a sec while I jump to conclusions.

1. Its a red herring cause we hit the nail on the head

2. Its another clue, but we guessed wrong and hes steering us to it

3. Its a clue for the same thing (fry was captain yesterday when he drank the super hero juice)

4. This and the previous were both red herrings cause he knows were gunna over analyze in here so hes just posting random shit with the illuminati eye cause even though thats what he did the first time he wouldnt do the same thing again as again we would over analyze and figure it out too fast

I thought the rumor mill already settled on him doing He Man for the 40th anniversary next year. But it could just be wishful thinking...

I thought red shoes meant you are a clown

That would line up with option 2. So if its not Futurama but He Man, you would just need to figure out how Millennium Falcon gets you to He-Man.

I know nothing of He-Man as it was before my time

Though I saw this and thought it was amusing

Also I do think Jack is partly just trolling for shits and giggles...

THAT is some daming evidence!

I was also thinking it could be Batman Animated Series since the Millennium Falcon could be the Batwing, and Action Man could be just generic older super hero and be applied to any part of Batman.

A million percent, but hey Ill bite and at least have some fun with it

The sorceress from Masters of the universe was a falcon as well

Jack opens Pinside:
“Jack is a child eating sorcerer.”

Jack closes Pinside.

That's exactly what a child eating sorcerer would do too......

Hey Jack! I understand you are under strict NDAs not to tell us about your next game (and you understandably want to keep your job) but can you give us one solid, "I promise it is not this" just to narrow it down a little? Can you promise us it's not a Golden Girls pin?

[EDIT] I PROMISE NOTHING!

Golden Girls Confirmed.

I gotta say, the one thing I miss the most about being on the consumer side of pinball, was making all those amazing fake game announcements.
Not that I didn't catch heat for 'em, but I enjoyed putting a lot of dang time into those. LOL

I always knew there was something different about me

I forgot all about Beyonce staring in that. I bet she wishes other people did too lol

Oh Beyonce...

Please make her a pinball. Great tunes, my wife would be thrilled, and I've always had a small crush

I know modern music pins aren't done, but I can wish

Problem with that game is all the balls would go to the left to the left.

first pin with factory gloryhole ?

Some random EM no one has heard of probably did it first

And also gross

Was at the Ann Arbor Pinball Show... Close, but not really.
