Ep 150: Pinball Expo 2024 Day 1

“It's Borg's best game, right? I would argue yes...This is Stern doesn't release their numbers, but I would bet that it's got to be their biggest seller.”

“The lighting. It is RGBL. But the thing is, they've color-coded it so it fits the theme...they've threaded that needle. So they have used the lighting to enhance the environment of the game without making it feel Vegas-y.”

“I didn't think that you could get a better immersion experience than Guns N' Roses. I agree. Okay, this absolutely rivals Guns N' Roses. And I, me personally, I like Metallica more than I like Guns N' Roses.”

“I'm telling them these are the aces in the pocket. You let your designers still innovate and design and do risks like Danger did with X-Men. Yeah. Because you don't know how it's going to be received. And then Metallica makes up the difference, right?”

“Each one had ball hop. That drives me absolutely nuts...And then I don't want to take shots from that flipper because: depending on how the ball hop is, you know?”

“I made the shot and you reward me by making me punish you.”

“If you can get the LE and you want the LE, get it. Good luck...There's only 500 of them. Yep. And so it's truly limited.”

“I would lean toward on this one: I would lean toward a Pro because it keeps the ball paths in check.”

“They have the LCD screen, which the animations: the animations are awesome...the new mode with new animations, new call-outs, the band playing, it looks fantastic.”

“If you can find a Metallica LE, get it because it's totally worth it...If you can't get the LE, get the Premium. Get the lights, the speaker lights.”
