Highlights
- Both hosts turned 52 years old; Jeff just turned 52 four days before recording
- The hosts took a break due to personal security issues involving leaked personal information and involvement of lawyers and police
- Haggis Pinball transitioned from producing Kelts to Fathom during the hiatus
- The Shoopy Stern heads-up invitational is filmed in advance (from months prior) with COVID restrictions affecting participant location diversity
- InDisc 2022 featured tournament-winning modifications like a screw on Party Zone's rocket ramp to redirect balls into pops
- ZMAC came from 300,000 points with zero locks to win the first match of Roller Games finals after hitting multi-ball
- Zach McCarthy, age 16, won the IFPA World Championship and is now considered a world champion
- Raymond Davidson is the number one player in the world for a few years and a two-time IFPA World Champion but has never won the IFPA Open
- Rush code is still in development at time of recording and has strong early reception from both players and non-fans
- Jeff found Godzilla's design overstimulating compared to Rush, criticizing it for not providing 'light and shade' or moments to feel accomplishment
Notable quotes
“just because you happen to find some information that you think is really exciting and you're going to be the first person to announce it to everybody doesn't mean you should”
“when you're involving loved ones and other things like that and not just shots but security and safety that's that's a whole fucking other game”
“Show those that want to cause harm that there's kind of this group that might have my back”
“the most entertaining streamers we've got at the moment, without a doubt. They are hilarious. Hilarious. Hilarious. They do know how to work video.”
“Heads up challenges, as they stand, are the best video form of pinball to me. For the layman”
“I want to see players pushed to their limits of their skill. Now, you know I owned Roller Games. It is the first game I ever bought.”
“Sometimes I think there just needs to be a bit of light and shade. That's what I've seen with Rush.”
“unbelievable layout. Love the Borg layout. The shots are so much fun.”
“I certainly would like to own that machine. In fact, I'm getting an The Avengers (Premium), part of my Stern Rewards program, and I might automatically flip that for Godzilla.”
“I know you hate him and want him dead But the guy makes good games”
