Synopsis
In this episode of Eclectic Gamers Podcast, hosts Tony and Dennis discuss their recent activities including teaching experiences, video gaming (Hades, Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, Cyberpunk Edgerunners), and reading. They transition to pinball topics, discussing Pedretti's Whirlwind Total Chaos 2.0 kit (which they view negatively as thematically incoherent), Multimorphic's Final Resistance module outselling the Weird Al module, and Overwatch homebrew pinball game featuring character-themed shots. The episode includes extended discussion of Overwatch character rankings and throw-picks.
