The boys are back...en español!!! Let's talk TWIPY's, John Wick accessories, and our love for pinball dang [email protected] to get at...

Listen on We Are Pinball

Highlights

  • X-Men received a new .9 code update with minor refinements to Juggernaut mode, adding more gameplay nuance to an overly easy encounter
  • John Wick has stalled at 500-600 plays with no new code updates, contracts feature removed, and leveling system that provides no gameplay benefit
  • ABBA has received zero location interest from Swedish distributor despite European positioning
  • Pinball Brothers is now essentially a one-man operation with the remaining founder and his son managing the web shop
  • Rumors indicate Pinball Brothers' next game will be Predator-themed
  • Alien by Pinball Brothers generated 30,000 views in first day of unboxing video, significantly outperforming typical pinball content (800-3,000 views)
  • Keith Elwin maintains creative direction oversight throughout entire game code development, unlike other designers who hand off after layout design
  • Retro Ralph sold his John Wick due to code stagnation and lack of content progression

Notable quotes

“People are angry. People are thinking, should I sell this game? Should I keep it? New code came out. This is important.”
Genghis
“I feel like an orphan begging for scraps and crumbs here, buddy. But Wason combed some stuff out of his beard and gave us some crumbs, so I appreciate that.”
Genghis
“We have had exactly zero interest. Like zero, man. Yeah. Yeah. Poor ABBA, Dancing Queen. Who would have forecasted that? Who would have possibly thought that ABBA would come out and not be a smash hit, except for absolutely everybody?”
Genghis
“You're not building stuff that you like. You're building stuff that other people are gonna like. And you need to talk to other people. You focus groups, man.”
Don
“I want all of the toppers. You know, take my $1,400 John Wick hour-class flippy money. Yeah, man.”
Genghis
“I'm level 45 John Wick what do I get for that nothing I get limp I got limp testicles in my sack man that's all I got nothing to do man”
Genghis
“She's got her fingers in Jaws. She's got her fingers in Dungeons and Dragons. She needs to get her fingers in Wick... She's like the secret sauce, man.”
Genghis
“At these prices, I don't think you're expecting too much. When you pay like $13,000, you need to have some kind of cool experience from the day you unbox a game.”
Don
