Highlights

  • A Pinside user accused Triple Drain of having a financial agenda with Spooky Pinball, suggesting they were paid to be positive.
  • None of the three Triple Drain hosts have been paid significantly by manufacturers; Travis makes minimal YouTube revenue, Joel has invested heavily in equipment and is in the hole financially, Tom makes some streaming revenue.
  • Travis played Halloween for approximately 6 hours and discovered a repeatable exploit that could generate over 50 million points using two shots.
  • David Dennis defended Travis in the Pinside thread about Halloween criticism.
  • Mirko (playfield manufacturer) is scheduled for a Q&A seminar at TPF on Friday, March 25th, 4-5 PM, despite past issues with clear coat on Jersey Jack Pinball's Guns N' Roses.
  • Chicago Gaming will present an update on completing Cactus Canyon at TPF seminars, following Lyman Sheets' death.
  • Funhaus 2.0 code (also called Rudy's Nightmare) has been announced and kits have started shipping.
  • Mirko has announced a 2.0 kit for Tales of the Arabian Knights coming to TPF.
  • The Dennis/Pinball Profile episode of Triple Drain remains their number-one performing episode.
  • Travis's brother strongly prefers Tom as a podcast personality because Tom's statements have 'weight' and 'substance', while Travis is seen as 'stirring shit up' and Joel as keeping conversation flowing.

Notable quotes

“if we're not allowed to voice what we don't like in a game, then what's the point? That's feedback. That's all that is.”
Joel
“Nobody's fucking paid us.”
Joel
“if you have enough games put in and you have enough database built into your head that you've played enough, you've seen the shots, you've seen the different codes, you've seen the different rules, you start to see things that are very similar to other games.”
Travis
“the three of us love pinball. And we want pinball to succeed. And we want pinball to grow. That's fine. But the only way that it's going to succeed and it's going to grow is if they continue to make better and better games. And the only way that people improve is when feedback is shared.”
Joel
“He's like, oh, crap. I told Monica it wasn't. She was, like, pissed. I mean, she's gotten whopper hungry.”
Travis
“with GNR at the very beginning there was a bunch of issues with clear coat, and everybody was saying Mirko flicks your clear coat, and no response, nothing.”
Joel
“the meat and bones are basically nearly everything in it was done. He's just having to refine some things”
Joel
