Triple Drain Pinball Podcast Ep 25: Maybe We Are Making This Too Complex
Triple Drain Pinball Podcast Episode 25: Maybe We Are Making This Too Complex Hosts: Joel Engelberth, Tom Graf, & Travis Murie In this episode we discuss what all happened at Super Series, as well as some of Travis and Tom's first impressions of the games they played at Expo. We talk about mods that might make your game easier and whether or not that is okay. Our main discussion breaks down our thoughts on if modern games are too "simple" mechanically while the rulesets are too "complex". Overall it was a fun discussion and we hope you all enjoy laughing and listening with us!
