Kineticist’s take
XP system in Venom excites hosts; debate if it spreads to future Stern games or stays Dwight-exclusive.
Synopsis
Triple Drain Podcast Ep 41 discusses Stern Pinball's XP leveling system in Venom (designed by Dwight), exploring whether it will become a standard feature across future games or remain exclusive to Dwight-coded titles. Hosts debate the merits of XP vs. trophy systems, accessibility for casual players, and how progression mechanics might fit thematically into future games like Jaws. A lighter segment covers Joel's achievement of the Game-of-Choice score on Godfather and the group chat humor around his stacking strategy.
