PodcastAnalysis updated yesterday1 hr 41 min listen
Send us Fan Mail Scott and Neil cover Venom, TZ, TOM, pinball after life, Stern Insider updates, British Mod makers and how they are knocking it out of the park!
Highlights
- Venom is a great game that doesn't deserve the negative reception it's getting
- Stern exposed electronics on Venom cabinets without proper shielding
- Venom has a ball airball issue on the start ramp similar to The Walking Dead (Pro) shipping problem
- Black Knight topper re-release pricing of $1,500 is significantly higher than original pricing ($400)
- Deadpool is an inferior game with poor toy integration and minimal depth
- Big Lebowski machines have significant reliability issues on location
- Cactus Canyon drop targets were redesigned twice before and after launch
- Theater Magic was properly dialed in by Scott and plays well without requiring significant tweaking
Notable quotes
“there is something about this game like Attack from Mars, like Medieval Madness, and of course it is a Brian Eddy game, right? There is just one more game you need to have one more game”
“I don't know what people find so fascinating about it. It's got no mix, it's got nothing in it”
“Deadpool to me is what Munsters is to you. That's how I relate to it.”
“I'm going to come clean right now... I was very nervous about because you know I like the games to play in a certain way and I was very nervous about will it play as good as it did because it did play great”
“if something happened to me it's... if I get hit by a bus tomorrow... Scott, Matt, Vince, Brad... you guys are in charge of helping my wife sell all this all my pinball machines”
“It's actually in my will... Tim, who runs Pinball Live streaming, he does the stream for Pinfest... I am leaving you my Medieval Madness when I kick the bucket”
“I'd be amazed if they did that. But you know, I mean, I think for Monster Bash, the folks that bought an LE like me, I think that would really piss them off”
“Every time I've seen a Big Lebowski on a location it's been broken, it's not been on. So anyone saying that that's build quality or that's great, they're obviously delusional”
