  • Jersey Jack's Guns N' Roses promo video was produced by Elements Studio and set new standard for pinball reveals

Notable quotes

This is a stocking that is approximately like two inches in size... Is this a stocking for ants? Yes, it is. It's an ant-sized stocking.
Zach Minney and Dennis Creasel
Not a lot going on... I mean, so there no toy on the pro I can count the static blimp the Zeppelin Because it doesn't interact with the ball.
Dennis Creasel
I've got a half dozen recent Steve Ritchie titles at my disposal that I could choose to buy that give me that same flow. That's a good argument.
Dennis Creasel
Even Stern couldn't outrun the long arm of the DMCA bots with their own license, as the stream was unfortunately pulled on Facebook as well after a mere 30 minutes of live streaming.
Craig Bobby (correspondent)
He also talked about the license of Led Zeppelin, Dennis, and how difficult that was to really obtain. We'd only, as media, assumed that and expected it to be really difficult. but he said it was very much confirming it was very difficult to obtain.
Zach Minney
So, I mean, it's just, and we haven't really seen gameplay of the pro, but even in the promo video, I was a little concerned with the, I guess they're calling it the hermit target, which the warp ramp shot on the pro isn't a ramp, it hits a stand up.
Dennis Creasel
We have live concert footage. That was a nice surprise... This is old archival 70s goodness, yumminess of the live concert experience of Led Zeppelin.
Zach Minney
The video gives a nice behind-the-scenes tour of how they did it... Many are calling this the new gold standard for pinball reveals.
