Kineticist’s take
Hosts debate Foo Fighters, Scooby-Doo bugs, and Godfather's excessive mechs/multiball design.
Synopsis
Slam Tilt podcast hosts Ron Hallett and Bruce Nightingale discuss recent pinball game announcements including Stern's Foo Fighters (with designer Jack Danger), Spooky's Scooby-Doo (shipping with bugs and incomplete code), and Jersey Jack's The Godfather (29 ball diverters, $12K-$15K pricing, Keith Johnson rules design). The hosts analyze design philosophy differences between manufacturers, criticize trend toward excessive multiball modes, and express concerns about Spooky's quality control as the company scales.
