Summary

Don celebrates Jaws billion, reviews shark mod, criticizes Home Pin's Blues Brothers announcement

Don celebrates achieving a 1.045 billion point game on Jaws Premium and discusses the new code update featuring a 4th of July mode. He reviews the Interactive Pinball Sharky Ball Shark mod ($470), which adds an animated shark that captures balls and returns them via a sophisticated engineering system. He contrasts this with his own hobbyist mods like a KFC-themed Chum Bucket ($20). The episode pivots to criticism of Home Pin's Blues Brothers machine revealed at a Taiwan expo, which Don views as poorly conceived: overpriced ($5k), based on the barren Stern Stars layout, non-playable at the show, and problematic for offering open-source code that violates licensing agreements. He speculates about John Wick's imminent announcement and discusses sales success of Jaws vs. Godzilla.
