Highlights
- Jersey Jack released Willy Wonka code version 2.0, a major update focused on making the game more accessible by lowering shot requirements and adjusting scoring upward
- Steve Ritchie has been hired at Jersey Jack Pinball and is recruiting a new design team
- GNR playfield clear-coat chipping is occurring within the first 100 plays on some machines
- Jersey Jack's warranty does not cover clear-coat chipping, classifying it as 'typical wear and tear'
- Jack Winery suggested customers may be causing clear-coat issues through post removal or improper handling
- Mirko (JJP playfield creator) sent threatening private messages to customers posting about GNR clear-coat issues, threatening lawsuits
- Mirko allegedly previously threatened a Canadian playfield producer with false claims about exclusive Stern Electronics rights
- Kaneda's Pinball Podcast reported that Mirko may have helped bail out JJP and holds ownership stake in the company
- Cactus Canyon remake from Chicago Gaming Company will be officially revealed at Southern Fried Gaming Convention on Friday, August 20th at 7 p.m.
- The host experienced disappointing gameplay with Stern's GNR (standard model, not LE) due to rule design favoring a single strategic approach and lengthy risk/reward jackpot building
Notable quotes
“yes, but it's low-key right now because I have so much to do here to get started”
“Don't carry that on you. Don't carry the play fields on you... I'll just also tell the listeners, it's not your fault if your folks got divorced either.”
“art actually chipping away from posts and stuff with less than 100 plays is not something we're used to that's certainly a problem the odd thing is that we're even talking about it”
“Do you know who I am? I have eaten pieces of shits like you for breakfast before.”
“I don't know. Could be that the customers are causing some of these issues.”
