We Are Pinball 17 "Retro Ralph gets WAPPED!!"

PodcastAnalysis updated 3d ago1 hr 30 min listenBy WAP
From the creator

Very special episode with Retro Ralph himself as he joins the WAP crew to talk pinball, prices, and purchases! A can't miss episode with some of the most satisfying maniacs this side of a TWIPY...

Listen on We Are Pinball

Highlights

  • X-Men LE prices have dropped significantly (under $13k) on secondary market despite being only two months old
  • X-Men has a known launch issue with ball rattling in shooter lane area; fix planned for mid-December with new plastic component
  • Ralph acquired his first non-Stern, non-new game: a Williams Terminator 2 machine
  • Spooky Luke joined WAP Patreon at $50 producer level to support the podcast
  • X-Men code lacks depth and feels limiting compared to layout innovation, with Beast Lab mechanic appearing underutilized

Notable quotes

“This is the We Are Pinball Podcast. Myself, Don, joined by Cengiz, Retro Cengo as well, as well as a special guest... Retro Ralph”
Don
“I fell in love with Pulp Fiction when I was at Pinball Expo, whatever like 10 years ago... I love that game. It's just such a fun game.”
Ralph
“I think this game should be doing at least as well as Foo Fighters... It's just this weird place in the hobby right now with it”
Don
“The only thing I don't like is the beast lab... it seems useless to me right now... I hope they could just do more with it.”
Ralph
“My problem with it right now, though, is I find myself being bored by the code... the code itself just is limiting it doesn't feel like there's a lot of depth to it”
Ralph
“I'm waiting for the code to flourish on this one. Layout's fun... so you fix the plunge issue and then I think we should be good.”
Don
“Gwen, John Cox is absolutely right. These pinball machines, they multiply.”
Genghis
“They got a lot of weird stuff there though. They have like Andromeda... There's not that many of them, there's only like 500 of them made”
Ralph
