65: The Pinball Haberdashery
First I must cream about Foo Fighters accessories...THEN Cale, Rachel, and myself talk about pinball into microphones for multiple minutes for your enjoyment. Come learn about new games, pooping in...
Highlights
- Foo Foo Fighters (Premium/LE) is Jason's favorite modern Stern within the last Spike 2 generation
- ExpressionLights for Foo Foo Fighters (Premium/LE) are priced at $499 and should ship within a couple weeks
- Pulp Fiction by Jersey Jack has been in development for six years
- Pulp Fiction at Electric Bat Arcade fills its coin box so frequently that it runs out of capacity during events
- Barry O's Barbecue Challenge shipped with minimal code and required a Friday update before ZapCon
- Zach (listener) has never gotten sick of Foo Foo Fighters (Premium/LE) despite playing weekly at barcades
- A children's interactive pinball book is in final Kickstarter stages with plans to donate 100 copies to Project Pinball
- Barry O's Barbecue Challenge artwork appears disjointed and done by multiple artists with mixed photography and hand-drawn elements
- Pulp Fiction pinball machine uses mono audio, not stereo, despite sounding great in person
- ZapCon is described as a community-focused event with several hundred machines, smaller and more homegrown than major shows like TPF or California Extreme
Notable quotes
“My favorite game is Foo Foo Fighters (Premium/LE). It's a game I have never been sick of playing, no matter what.”
“I'm very happy that there's a lot of people out there that like these games because I don't. I don't want these games.”
“The ExpressionLights are $500. $4.99, worth it. Not even gonna blink. It makes the game complete.”
“The issue was the coin box is too full and it wouldn't take any more money. What a bummer!”
“This is its own monster. And it works. It has some cool, some incredibly cool shots, both in the pro and the premium.”
“I think this is a combination of David Fix being kind of stuck in the past... Why can't they do well now?”
“ZapCon is really more of a big community show... much more community based than a lot of the other ones.”
“Let's treat it like cigarettes, right? This is the pinball cigarettes. We're going to hook these kids when they're young.”
“Pulp Fiction was off... it's probably some kind of show stopping issue... The issue was the coin box is too full.”
“The rules are completely fleshed out. They started this project, what, six years ago? So they had plenty of time to hammer out any speed bumps.”
