Kineticist’s take
American Pinball's American Dream contest had a winner held up by licensing; GTF attempts soft relaunch at Expo.
Synopsis
Dennis and Tony discuss their recent work and personal experiences, including a new job orientation Q&A, then pivot to pinball industry news. They analyze an interview with David Fix of American Pinball covering the American Dream homebrew contest (which had a winner, but licensing issues prevent announcement) and Galactic Tank Force soft relaunch at Expo with cast appearances. They debate whether GTF's marketing strategy of bringing live-action cast members will move units, skeptically comparing it to successful celebrity appearances like Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) and John Rhys-Davies.
