Kineticist’s take
Triple Drain covers Expo experiences, praises Metallica (LE) remaster, questions Funhouse remake viability.
Synopsis
The Triple Drain hosts discuss their experiences at a recent Pinball Expo, including meetings with industry figures, gameplay impressions of newly revealed machines (Funhouse remake and Metallica (LE)), and observations about new players entering the hobby. Travis works a distributor booth and reports strong FOMO-driven demand for the Metallica (LE) (500 units), while Tom expresses hesitation about the Funhouse remake artwork but appreciation for Metallica's improvements. The episode includes banter about personal Halloween costumes and community interactions at the show.
