Episode 114 - BuildABank
Pinball: The guys play a new game, Build A Bank, where the listeners can vote on Facebook to determine who built the best 6-game bank! Video Games: Dennis talks Far Cry 5, Tony talks XCOM: Chimera...
Highlights
- High Speed is Dennis's favorite System 11 game and he ranks it in his top five games overall
- Stern's Indiana Jones pinball is described as 'a total turd' with no reasonable justification for picking it
- Magic City (Williams 1967) has a rotating color wheel fountain that was cut for cost reasons, which collectors retrofit with color-changing LEDs
- Dennis has commentated Apollo (Blast Off replay version) at Kansas City Championship, which is why he recognized Blast Off
- Competitive pinball players who have access to Stars (Stern) love the game for its challenging drops, spinner shots, and strategic depth
Notable quotes
“I'm going to choose for my top one through ten game i'm going to add lord of the rings into my bank because it's one of the greatest journey pins that was ever created it's got great flow it's one of the best themes you could possibly have for pinball”
“The book was so good, and the movie was so bad. But the pinball machine is just so good.”
“I flew an attack helicopter, Tony. I flew it straight there. No detours. I didn't stop for fuel or anything. How did that even happen?”
“I want that feel, and quite frankly I like the back glass and it goes with my so far pretty sci-fi theme that's an interesting tactic”
“I'm going to go ahead and go with Stars just so I have – go with my diversity. And I think people are going to appreciate my diverse bank of games.”
