The Pinball Show Episode 58: Keyboard Commando - Round One, Fight!! Host: Zach Meny Special Guest Cohost: Brian (Delt31 on Pinside) - Fun. Entertaining. Debating. Arguing. - Allowing a Keyboard...

Highlights

  • Delt31 was a supporter of Straight Down the Middle starting in October 2017 and gave them money because he liked their honesty and lack of bias.
  • Delt31 accused Zach of compromising reviews of Penn Stadiums due to a relationship/partnership with Scott (Penn Stadiums owner), citing that Zach does voiceover work for the product.
  • Delt31 claims Zach created The Pinball Network as a power consolidation play to promote Flippin' Out Pinball and counter Kaneda's popularity.
  • The Pinball Network does not censor or edit shows submitted by other podcasters on the platform.
  • The Pinball Network operates as a committee with six voting members; Zach is 'merely one vote' and does not unilaterally control content or direction.
  • Delt31 criticized the transition from This Week in Pinball (TWIP) to The Pinball Network in January 2020 as abrupt and poorly executed, suggesting it was driven by Flippin' Out agenda.
  • Delt31 argued that Zach's Straight Down the Middle had superior chemistry and honesty compared to other shows, but that chemistry was lost when commercial interests took over.
  • Delt31 accused Zach of bias against Munsters, praising its art package by Franchi while dismissing the game's code as a 'mess,' whereas Wizard of Oz was elevated despite weaker aesthetics.

Notable quotes

We are here to entertain in this dumb hobby of ours called pinball.
Delt31
I don't know if you like I'm going to be fair, I don't think I like you. But I may, I just don't know.
Zach Minney
Your agenda has gone from an innocent hobbyist-driven YouTube channel to a distributor who has saturated the market with buy, buy, buy from Flippin' Out.
Delt31 (forum quote from 2020)
I am merely one vote listener... There have been plenty of things that I have tried to add to this network that get voted against.
Zach Minney
The way you did it was just, I mean, quite frankly, disrespectful to Jeff.
Delt31
You want to have this control of having this entire network that's under you and that you have in these shows.
Delt31
Transparent. I thought it's more ignorant to me, but I guess we can go with transparent.
Delt31
If you don't understand that pinball network is tied to flipping out, I mean, Zach, stop it.
Delt31
Wizard of Oz is the staple transition to a new and exciting and innovative pinball machine. Everything about Wizard of Oz is exactly what this hobby needs more of.
Delt31
How can a network be saturated with Flippin' Out Pinball when we have over 20 streamers and we have over 10 podcasters?
