The Pinball Show: A Special Announcement
The Pinball Show: A Special Announcement Hosts: Dennis Kriesel & Zach Meny Dennis and Zach are excited to share with you, a special project that they and many at TPN have been working on....
Highlights
- The Pinball Industry Awards will feature voting from vetted pinball media professionals (podcasters, streamers, video creators, writers) rather than the general public.
- The awards comprise three distinct components: main game awards (media-voted), excellence awards for content creators (TPN-voted), and a Hall of Fame (public-voted by era).
- The Hall of Fame will induct one machine from each era: EM, 1970s early solid state, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s: six machines total in the 2020 class.
- The ceremony will be held virtually in late January 2021 due to COVID-19 considerations.
- All media voters will have their names publicly listed to ensure transparency, though individual ballots will not be released.
Notable quotes
“I wonder if critics would pick the same choice as the general public.”
“The pinball hobby and the industry as a whole are large enough at this stage to warrant a more Critics' Choice style award to join the mix.”
“This is not a TPN thing. This is not a Zach thing. This is not a Dennis thing. This is a media thing.”
“They're all winners. Podcasters that take all of the time they do to record and edit this content for each of us to listen to week after week, they're all winners.”
“What 90s game? Is it going to be Addams Family? Twilight Zone? It's so hard to pick one. But only one gets in from each era.”
“I think a lot of people that have had criticisms on how things happen in a People's Choice Award need to understand that those are just inherent issues with the People's Choice Award, just like a Critics' Choice Award like this has its own inherent pitfalls as well.”
