Episode 109 - A Casual Look Back at 2025 w/ Megan the Watergirl

“What you don't see a lot of online is opinions from anyone outside of that demographic though... those women are all nerds. They're all just as lost in the pinball sauce as me and Alan are.”

“To any industry people listening... this is probably the single most valuable episode of the show we will ever do. I get to see it every day as an operator. We have so many people that play pinball that couldn't name the designer, couldn't name the programmer, couldn't tell you what the news and rumors are.”

“I love Dungeons and Dragons... I will constantly go back and play it.”

“The art style is kind of like it's cute it's fun but it's just kind of like the colors are very like in your face a little bit... oversaturated colors... I feel like that would be more muted if it was dnd.”

“I want it to look like a comic book cover and not like they put 50 pages of a comic book on the game. I want hand painted back glass. I want line art on the play field... basically describing No Fear: Dangerous Sports.”

“Stern Insider makes a hundred percent of sense for this game... the first one where it actually feels like a necessity. If you're not logging in on D&D it feels like you're playing a mini game.”

“Evil Dead... I just want everyone to know especially our regular listeners in the discord... it's funny that she's echoing the same sentiments.”

“I hate those groovy little targets on the side... even if the most of the targets would get down the ball would just get hung up over there... and the fact that that's the skill shot and there's no way to time the skill shot at all.”

“It's very campy... The game fits the vibe of the movie... you're not like oh my god that was a terrifying experience you're like no that's funny.”

“I'm so picky when it comes to a pinball lineup... I will play any game once but... there's just always going to be different games that I go back to.”
