62: Look Ma it's Tuesday!
Jersey Jack’s Elton John continues to smash a$$, saving money for JJP’s next game, taking pinball reviews with a grain of salt, a little more audio talk and Drone by Neon Dizzale.
Highlights
- Elton John is holding $12,000 in the used market, with some negotiation possible down to $11,500
- Reviewers without financial investment in pinball machines (operators, media) may rate them higher than home buyers who bear full costs
- There is a Jersey Jack Pinball machine coming soon with a 'good license' that buyers should save money for
- Jon Hey was laid off from the tech industry and cannot currently afford to buy pinball machines
- Steve Ritchie designs games with superior flow mechanics
Notable quotes
“I'm sick of hearing everyone talk about how awesome Elton John is because I want to play it and I don't have $12,000 to spend on the game.”
“If someone's YouTube channel or podcast or whatever it may be does not have to invest this, let's say, time or money into this game... take it with a grain of salt.”
“Did you have to drive three hours, deal with all the nuances of buying and selling games, you pick it up, you drive back... and then tell me what you think of the game?”
“Save your money for a Jersey Jack Pinball game and I am not like... I have no skin in this game. Clearly, I can't afford a Jersey Jack Pinball game.”
“The only games that make it down here going forward are Lord of the Rings number nine or whatever whenever I buy it or when I get to Jurassic Park again. Ones that are like, I will play this game for longer than two weeks.”
