  • Butch said 'people will forgive delays, but they won't forgive quality errors'
  • Halloween code has bugs including ball-tracking issues and design flow problems that need improvement
  • Weird Al P3 system playfield modules can be swapped in under 5 minutes using an aftermarket two-by-four rack system
  • Funhouse 2.0 kit costs $2,000 and includes updated voicework with Marc Silk

Notable quotes

“I think the first day i was there Friday, we played a total of three pinball games, one game each. And we didn't even go to bed till what? 1:32.”
Josh Roop
“It's a festival and there's a reason why they labeled it as a festival because it feels like a party. Yeah. It feels a little bit like, hey, we're all here to have a good time.”
Josh Roop
“people will forgive delays, but they won't forgive quality errors”
“This would make me consider buying a P3”
Josh Roop
“If you own a Funhouse and you're looking to revitalize it a little bit, I would recommend this.”
Scott Larson
“it doesn't to me and the weird part was is i got Grand Champion and i never went to the upper play fields i never went to the middle or the upper and so i didn't fully understand why they were even there”
Josh Roop
“I love the theme. And maybe with more time on it, I would understand it a little more.”
Josh Roop
“It's a beautiful game in fairness on the pinball industry awards. I actually voted Halloween for the best art package solely on the impact that single art package had because the art package alone sold the game”
Josh Roop
