## Transcript

I pride myself at staying on top of the current happenings in the world of pinball, so I was totally surprised that this new Queen pinball teaser video was making the rounds today with an August upload date. Apparently it was uploaded to YouTube a month ago, but just received licensing approval to be officially released. Here's the first video footage of the new Queen game in action. Enjoy! Hopefully we'll see the new game in person at Pinball Expo next month.

I had the pleasure of having a couple of drinks with Roger and Kato from The Pinball Brothers last Saturday night and I must say that they're great guys. I wish the company success with their next (and future game...Shhhhhh).
