PodcastAnalysis updated 6d ago1 hr 50 min listenBy Jeff Teolis & Martin Robbins
Final Round Pinball Podcast Episode 68: The Golden Trio Hosts: Martin Robbins & Jeff Teolis Special Guest: Ryan C
Highlights
- Foo Fighters features a focused rule set that avoids overwhelming the player with simultaneous modes and options, contrasting with recent trend of 'modern pinball fatigue'
- Scooby-Doo sold out before TPF
- Foo Fighters has a steep left ramp that is more difficult/less repeatable than it initially appears visually
- Foo Fighters Premium features an upper playfield with a post mechanism on the left outlane that 'boots' the ball back into play
- Jack Danger worked with Tanio Klyce on Foo Fighters rules design
- Pirates of the Caribbean had three spinning discs originally planned but was reduced to one due to player/designer feedback about randomness
- Final Round Pinball Podcast has been running for four years (started February 2020)
- Martin experienced near-total voice loss by Sunday morning of TPF, taking four days to recover to 95% capacity
Notable quotes
“I reckoned I'd be in the maybe 15, 16 count of people coming up to me saying, Jeff is a cunt. And some of those people would then follow it up by saying, I've never said that word.”
“What's the number one question people asked us? How long was your flight? Because people just couldn't believe that we travelled halfway around the world to come to this event.”
“Modern pinball fatigue, and that is where there's just everything. And I call it the Godzilla effect, where everything's at you, lights are flashing, things are going on, you get a jackpot, you get a jackpot.”
“Foo Fighters is really focused. Its rules are focused. It's just not one of these throw everything at you at once. It's quite deliberate.”
“Why has this not existed before? It's just genius. It's like, it just is so natural.”
“Head to Head, it's not coming back. We're doing it once a year. It's fun once a year. That's it.”
“People were saying it was great to see you. Wherever I go, they're always asking, where's Marty, where's Marty? Always.”
