Triple Drain Pinball Podcast Episode 18: Blue Balls Hosts: Joel Engelberth, Tom Graf, & Travis Murie Come join us on this episode where we catch up on our last few weeks, Joel's initial impressions...
Highlights
- GNR LE production expected to reach 5,000 units, with final calls for distributors underway
- JJP games are rarely seen on location or in tournaments; majority are owned by home collectors
- GNR's design gives training wheels to novice players: auto-qualifying band members by ball 3 if not earned
- GNR's light show and audio immersion dramatically improve with headphones and RGB strip modifications
- Guns N' Roses layout concentrates action in lower third, causing constant chaos from middle scoop placement
Notable quotes
“The light show got deadpool which isn't bad like the light show of deadpool is really good but it doesn't hold a you know it like gnr's light show just blows it out of the water there's no you can't argue that you can't deny that”
“it almost feels like that the actual pinball itself is a backdrop to the music and the light show”
“I don't think every single pen needs to be for competitive play. I think pinball can just be just that, just pinball. Because the majority of people that play pinball, they don't play tournaments.”
“Being able to control the lighting in the pen is awesome...where you're just rocking out and just like the light shows absurd”
“it's just like, it's such immediate. Like, even if I suck in ball one and two, I'm still going to be able to get to a song.”
“I don't see tournament pin. And that's okay.”
“it seems like you're just flailing away at multi-ball the whole time”
“the top 64 for Worlds? I mean, think about that. And that's over thousands of people that play. And the vast majority of them, even though they play in a tournament, let's face facts here. It's very casual”
