Kineticist’s take
Host criticizes Venom accessories, praises upcoming Harry Potter/Kong, questions P3 pricing and media hype culture.
Synopsis
A rambling, profanity-heavy episode discussing current pinball market dynamics, focusing on criticism of Stern's Venom accessories, excitement for upcoming releases (Harry Potter, King Kong, Portal, Merlin's Arcade), and frustration with inflated P3 pricing and universal positive coverage in pinball media. The host expresses skepticism about Portal's market fit, defends Keith Elwin design pedigree, and speculates on upcoming announcements at Texas Pinball Festival.
