DPP #182 "TPF wrap up. I wanna like Portal!"

TPF 2026 wrap: Evil Dead sells out, Harry Potter announced, Merlin's Arcade impresses, Blues Brothers panned.

Don recaps Texas Pinball Festival 2026, covering Medieval Madness sold-out return, Spooky's Evil Dead sellout (888 units), Jersey Jack's surprise Harry Potter announcement (10-year development, multi-million dollar license), and detailed impressions of numerous games including Merlin's Arcade, Blues Brothers (criticized harshly), Stern's D&D, and a custom D&D mod by Cairo Labs. He expresses frustration with Blues Brothers $5,000 price point relative to its quality and concludes with cautious optimism about Portal pinball.
