I regretted buying King Kong before playing it and broke my rule by doing so
Frankie (Spooky's artist) nailed the Beetlejuice theme aesthetically inside and out
Beeteljuice Pinball features intake and exhaust ventilation for thermal management, which I have not seen on other manufacturers
Hardy plans to add underglow lighting to Beetlejuice synchronized with the game's existing lighting
The LED lighting kit costs significantly less than competing products
Installation of the LED kit is very simple and straightforward
The standard LED kit with 5050 LEDs may not be sufficient for newer pinball machines with many inserts
Hardy owns the only Getaway playfield with all clear inserts he is aware of
Hardy won a Grand Champion tournament with a Getaway machine
RGB lighting would not be appropriate for in-game installation on Getaway
The LED kit includes customization options accessible through a smartphone app
Additional LED lines and components are available for purchase separately
Pokemon is the largest intellectual property in the world at over $280 billion worth
Pokemon Pinball will serve as gateway to pinball hobby for non-enthusiast demographics
Pokemon home edition is very strongly rumored to be coming to Costco
Pokemon licensing success could unlock Nintendo IP (Super Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Donkey Kong Country) for future pinball games
Sonic Pinball is releasing 'a little bit later on this year'
Pokemon Pro would generate strong operator revenue on location routes due to universal brand recognition
Mechanical/analog pinball gameplay is underexposed to younger generation raised on digital screens
Pokemon game's positive reception overwhelmingly outweighs negative design criticisms for industry impact
The 1/12th scale price point ($480 for series) is exceptional value for pinball collectibles
Harry Potter Arcade Edition is Jersey Jack Pinball's best game to date
The villain drop target assembly on Harry Potter has a widespread manufacturing defect requiring Loctite threadlocker that affects multiple units
Arcade Edition buyers get nearly identical gameplay and mechanical features to Collector's Edition and Wizard Edition for $5,000 less
JJP produces significantly more Collector's Edition units than Wizard Edition, which significantly outsells Arcade Edition
Arcade Edition wait time is at least three months, with many customers still waiting beyond Hardy's purchase
Eric Minor's previous designs like Godfather did not appeal to Hardy, but Harry Potter changed his perception of Minor's design abilities
The rotating staircase mechanic is purposeful and significant to gameplay, not merely cosmetic
Harry Potter Arcade Edition is the 2025 game with the best value and most accessible gameplay compared to competitors
Automated Pinballs (Mike) provided top-tier distributor service on the Harry Potter purchase
The left outlane return shot on Harry Potter comes down too fast for reliable flipper catches, requiring precise timing
Community resistance to Spike 3 is primarily due to optical/aesthetic perception (IKEA furniture bias) rather than legitimate engineering concerns
Spike 3 manufacturing likely breaks even or costs slightly more than Spike 2, with long-term cost savings from fewer field failures
Stern's pre-launch communication about Spike 3 was inadequate and allowed speculation/FUD to dominate before transparent explanation
George Gomez participated in approximately 2 hours of continuous interview questioning and criticism
Jack Danger from Stern should produce a detailed technical demonstration video of Spike 3 with drop-test footage
Evil Dead sold through 888 units within 4 months, but sales were initially slow for 3 months due to reliability concerns until location play and Pinball at the Beach proved the game's quality
Beetlejuice had 70 units available on launch day and all were sold within 15 minutes of phone lines opening at 10 a.m. CST
85,000 devices attempted to access Spooky Pinball's website simultaneously during Beetlejuice launch, with multiple devices per household
The owner of 'Jump in the Line' song is requesting $500,000 for licensing, making it economically unfeasible to include in Beetlejuice
Spooky's next release will be priced under $11,500, likely around $10,500 (approximately $1,000 more than Beetlejuice)
Spooky must increase production runs beyond 999 units for future releases to meet demand and avoid logistical chaos
Christopher Franchi nailed the artistic direction and visual execution of Beetlejuice's theme integration
Pinball at the Beach will have 10 Beetlejuice machines available for public play
Texas Pinball Festival 2025 (March) will feature approximately 15 Beetlejuice machines

Spooky will transition from Evil Dead (888 units) to Beetlejuice fulfillment in mid-January
Secondary market pre-order deposit spots for Beetlejuice reached $10,000+ during launch day
Brightness/intensity appears more extreme on camera/video than in-person due to camera light sensitivity
All Beetlejuice callouts are sourced from the 1988 Tim Burton film; no original generic callouts
Beetlejuice is a faster game with smoother shots compared to Evil Dead
Approximately 70 Beetlejuice units remain available for purchase
Beetlejuice requires 90 inches of ceiling height with topper installed
Beetlejuice features audio callouts derived directly from the 1988 film
Beetlejuice will be Hardy's first Spooky Pinball machine purchase
Full Beetlejuice reveal will occur the next day at 10 a.m. Central Standard Time

Weekend show tickets are priced at $199
Patreon supporters will receive a $25 discount code for show tickets
Hotel rooms will sell out quickly
Dune plays better than Labyrinth from the end of Ball One
Dune's audio package is superior to Avatar and Stranger Things in isolated environments
Dune's theme is a primary sales hindrance because it lacks mass appeal
A Mario-like sound effect was removed from Dune in recent code updates
Portal is Multimorphic's best game to date
Multimorphic's modular platform costs $3-4k per module vs. $7-13k for new traditional machines
Merlin's Arcade is designed for family play with simplistic rules
Turner Pinball's innovations need real-world durability testing before market acceptance
Ninja Eclipse sold out at Pinball Expo after players experienced it on location

Diagnostic software improvements have been rolled out across new Stern machines, with King Kong being the first
Expression lighting is coming to Spike 3 machines
Spooky Pinball is positioning itself as offering maximum features at lower prices compared to Stern

Cary Hardy would prefer a Wizard edition over Arcade or Collector's Edition based on value-to-cost ratio and aesthetic preferences
King Kong's shot layout is combo-friendly with repeatable shots that reward skilled play across segmented playfield areas
Left outlane drains more frequently than other pinball games of similar design tier
Jerry Thompson's audio work on King Kong is among his best compositions, particularly the biplane mode orchestration
Code version 0.82 has persistent ball recognition bugs where Kong position sensor fails to properly load balls into the train
Kong animation and train mechanism cause gameplay slowdown that becomes fatiguing after extended play sessions
Spider magnet behavior is unpredictable and sometimes flings the ball to unintended playfield locations
If repurchasing King Kong, Cary would likely choose the Pro model over Premium or LE
Premium tier King Kong machines are shipping this week
King Kong LE material components cost approximately $1,200 at retail pricing, with actual bulk costs significantly lower than retail
Stern produced 1,000-unit LE runs for Venom, Jaws, and John Wick, contributing to market oversaturation
Metallica Remastered LE (500 units) commands $16k+ secondary market value as of recording
Kong LE is not selling as well as distributors and Stern expected post-release
Kong LE back glass, side decals, and art blades are easily replicated by third parties, including Brazilian manufacturers
Stern did not license the Empire State Building for Kong, using generic 'building' instead in speaker lighting
Stern should reduce LE production to 500 units to restore scarcity and collector desirability
Kong LE buyer will not have $3,500 more fun than Premium tier purchaser; LE items mostly aesthetic without substantive gameplay impact
Keith Elwin's batch-signed Kong LE machines lack personal touch compared to in-person designer signatures
Boutique manufacturers are delivering superior value and acquiring consumer confidence relative to Stern despite lower production capacity
Jack Winery displayed signs of mental decay, zoning out, and tremors throughout the 53-minute seminar
Announcing a future title during current game sales cycle violates standard manufacturer practice and kills sales momentum
Stern Pinball executives never announce upcoming titles in the middle of current game production cycles
Mark Seiden showed a micro facial expression of surprise when Jack announced Harry Potter
The crowd reaction to Harry Potter announcement was weak because the delivery was weak and casual
Avatar is a strong-selling game in the current market
Ken Cromwell (marketing lead) likely had a negative reaction to the Harry Potter announcement
Jack Winery's possible illness/condition will likely get worse over time, similar to typical disease progression
A Big Lebowski pinball machine with Christopher Franchi artwork is on display at Texas Pinball Festival
Cary Hardy will likely be banned from Pinball Enthusiasts for calling out the admin
Pinball at the Beach is Cary Hardy's new favorite pinball show overall

The hotel elevator situation was problematic, with only one working elevator that was slow by end of week
Pro model is better value than Premium based on cost-to-feature ratio
Hardy's high score during play testing was approximately 4.5 billion
D&D is more engaging than Brian Eddy's previous work (Venom)
Demo machines at Pinball at the Beach can be purchased to save hundreds of dollars
Brian Eddy's three most recent released games (Stranger Things, Mandalorian, Venom) all rank poorly on PinSide and don't play well
Dwight Sullivan had at least three extra months of development time for Dungeons & Dragons code
Wizards of the Coast branding appears first in the official D&D announcement trailer before Stern's own logo
Community enthusiasm for Dungeons & Dragons announcement is lower than expected based on social media monitoring
D&D will likely feature character class selection (wizard, sorceress, warrior, paladin) via Insider Connected
The playfield layout will feature three targets feeding into a central dragon mechanism similar to Attack from Mars
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles released with 1.0 code
RPG character leveling mechanics will be better thematically integrated in D&D than they were in Venom
Dungeons & Dragons tournament mode will need to remove randomness elements (20-sided die rolls) for competitive play
The dragon mechanism in the teaser is similar to the T-Rex in Jurassic Park pinball
96% of YouTube poll respondents (530+ votes) believe Spooky did well with Evil Dead
Christopher Franchi's Evil Dead art package received the franchise's highest positive response ratio
Official Evil Dead gameplay video will release Wednesday with 20-minute runtime in two versions (narrated and silent)
The primary complaint preventing Evil Dead purchases is theme preference, not gameplay or quality
Evil Dead features a hidden sling flipper capable of hitting multiple shots including left orbit and potentially left ramp
The dual shooter lane includes a skill shot where syncing button press with Bruce Campbell's varying-tempo 'fire' callout awards bonus points
TCM was Spooky's best shooter game due to unique flipper-feeding flow where one shot feeds to another flipper leading to next shot
Evil Dead will have hundreds of Bruce Campbell voice lines with ad-libbing and R-rated callouts, disableable for family-friendly play
The hidden flipper inside the slingshot area is a feature Hardy has never seen before in pinball machines
The double shooter lane in Evil Dead resembles Twilight Zone and hasn't been seen in a very long time
Bruce Campbell recorded hundreds of callouts for Evil Dead including Army of Darkness content
Evil Dead topper is priced at $1,300-1,400 as optional upgrade
Evil Dead will be Spooky Pinball's Godzilla (meaning their creative pinnacle)
Pre-release feedback on Evil Dead has been approximately 90% positive
Hardy has not yet played Evil Dead, only seen the trailer
No Stern Pinball game released since Godzilla has surpassed it in quality
Spooky's next game will be their 'Godzilla'—a landmark title that future games will be compared to
The game features a multi-leveled playfield with four flippers, one hidden from above-view perspective
License holder approval accelerated, moving release from mid-late December to much sooner
Christopher Franchi is the confirmed artist for the game
Theme integration is the game's defining characteristic and primary point of differentiation
There is no spinning cabin mechanic on the playfield
The game includes mechanical elements unseen in pinball since the 1990s
Zach Minney created the promotional trailer with oscillating asset-to-implementation presentation
The Metallica Remastered topper design is lazy and uninspired compared to previous Stern games
John Borg designed both Metallica Remastered and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pinball games
Metallica Remastered LE production is limited to 500 units
The Metallica Remastered shooter rod design is essentially identical to the Rush shooter rod design
Expression lighting system pricing represents an increase of approximately $100 from typical Stern pricing
The sub-$1,000 price point for a three-quarter scale pinball is not economically feasible given component complexity
Kickstarter funding will be difficult to achieve given product complexity and audience expectations
Hardy recommends the topper as best option for Attack from Mars collectors wanting interactive topper experience comparable to CGC premium version
Interactive toppers offer better value than Stern's standard non-interactive layered plastic toppers despite higher price points
Not every pinball game equally benefits from PinWoofer audio upgrades
The product components feel high-quality and solid, not cheaply made
Cary plans to purchase PinWoofer upgrade for his Foo Fighters pinball machine
The product is best targeted at audio enthusiasts rather than casual pinball players
Cary Hardy stated X-Men's music is a make-or-break issue
X-Men's main music is a placeholder and doesn't fit the theme—it sounds 'chill' rather than energetic and head-nodding
Stern is using AI-generated callouts for Gambit in X-Men to cut costs while maintaining pricing
Avatar's UV lighting will not show effectively at Pinball Expo due to bright ambient lighting
Home Pin's Blues Brothers demonstrates homebrew/small manufacturers can viably reach market
Dutch Pinball's Alice in Wonderland features flexible/impact-resistant plastic materials instead of rigid molds
Cary has not yet played Alice in Wonderland, only seen it stationary—needs to evaluate how it shoots mechanically
Cary Hardy will be attending Pinball Expo 2024 to play new games and meet community members
Uncanny X-Men code is estimated to be in the 0.7-0.8 range and not ready for public gameplay showcase
Jersey Jack Pinball is holding a media event on the 13th to show Avatar to select industry figures
Avatar is rumored to feature six flippers instead of traditional four-flipper layout

American Pinball functions as a subsidiary financially dependent on parent company Ametron with annual subsidy/allowance model
Dutch Pinball's Alice in Wonderland ships with a stock mod board enabling community customization of lights and servo motors
The leaked Avatar images came from a connected industry source rather than a truly anonymous source despite Nap Arcade's claims
Stern Pinball accelerated Uncanny X-Men release timing to preempt Jersey Jack Pinball's Avatar announcement
American Pinball's barbecue game marketing relies too heavily on designer tribute to Barry Ausler, who is unknown to 90% of pinball audience
Chicago Gaming Company is rumored to be producing Medieval Madness remakes before the end of the year
JJP should include protective parts like Cliffy protectors pre-installed on $12k-$15k games
Distributors are no longer accepting home editions because there is no demand in the pinball hobby market
Stern's Costco home edition strategy is a sign of market desperation
Stern's productivity claims for the office rental program misleadingly conflate general games with pinball-specific outcomes
Stern controls approximately 70% or more of distributor income and uses this dominance to enforce purchasing decisions
Consumer $4,999 price point will prevent Costco shoppers from purchasing home editions
If Stern's upcoming cornerstone title is not a major success, additional desperation signals will follow
Arcades already serve as the primary gateway to introduce consumers to pinball
Unsold Costco inventory will eventually be discounted, similar to past retail failures
All pinball manufacturers and distributors are currently nervous about weak market conditions across the board
Stern already profited from sales through distributors and is protected from inventory glut damage
Cary Hardy never explicitly recommended that viewers purchase Centaur or give deposits to Haggis in any video content
The Trough Lock does not affect normal gameplay or ball ejection when properly installed
Apron removal on Stern Premium/LE machines requires removal of four fasteners: two Phillips head screws and two 11mm bolts
The Trough Lock can be installed without apron removal on some machines by sliding it directly into the trough area
Hardy uses magnets as a DIY alternative to prevent ball spillage, storing them with his machine keys
Bally/Williams machines have compatible trough designs that work with similar ball-retention solutions
There is a very easy fix for sticky shooter rods that solves 99% of pinball machine issues
John Wick Pro code at version 0.80 has sufficient playable content for players to learn the game layout and shots
The ball save indicator on John Wick uses inverted logic compared to industry standard pinball games
John Wick Pro requires constant nudging to achieve competitive scores and progress through game modes
The weapons crate shot is more satisfying on Premium model due to larger toy size reducing precision requirements
John Wick Pro is comparable in difficulty to Ninja Turtles pinball
The absence of gun imagery on John Wick playfield is not noticeable during normal gameplay
John Wick Pro is entertaining but not special enough to warrant personal ownership as a home machine
Potential buyers should test John Wick at a location before purchasing due to high difficulty that may not suit all skill levels
Guns appear in approximately 40% of each John Wick film
Disney licensing requirements drove the decision to remove guns from John Wick Pinball
Stern has pre-sold allotments to distributors who absorb upfront cash, buffering Stern from poor sales
Randy Martinez could have easily drawn guns in the John Wick art package
The only way to send a message to Stern is to hurt their bottom line through boycott
True John Wick fans cannot accept a version without gun imagery
Many players Hardy has spoken to are unaware guns are missing from John Wick Pinball
The John Wick Pinball may play great mechanically but is not worth purchasing due to character compromise
The John Wick storyline trailer features Ian McShane's voice providing call-outs
Ian McShane's character Winston is one of the best characters in the John Wick film series
Lance Reddick (who played Charon in John Wick) has passed away over a year ago
All four John Wick movies will be represented in the pinball game
Expression Light System may be included on John Wick based on community rumors
Stern's marketing schedule contradicts itself by listing staggered photo releases but stating all content will release on May 7
Having Expression Lights on John Wick across all tier levels would enhance value proposition for Pro model buyers
The mirror scene in the trailer is likely from John Wick Part Two's 'halls of reflection' sequence
American Pinball's Barbecue game will face significant challenges gaining traction at location venues
Elton John is Jersey Jack Pinball's best shooter game
Majority of the pinball community agrees Elton John is JJP's best shooter
Steve Ritchie improved flipper strength on Elton John compared to previous JJP games
The Elton John layout incorporates design elements from Steve Ritchie's previous games like Getaway and Star Trek
JJP's last 2-3 releases before Elton John were not winners
$9,000 would be a more appropriate price point for Elton John than $12,000
Elton John's on-screen animations use still frame images rather than live performance video like Guns N' Roses
At $12,000, Hardy would not purchase Elton John despite appreciating the game's quality
L1's Bond game would sell significantly better if not positioned as a limited edition at $15k+ pricing
L1 was originally targeting $20-22k for Bond game; current secondary market price around $18k
Pacific Pinball Museum entry fee is $22
California gas prices exceeded $5 per gallon during trip
Jack in the Box bacon ultimate cheeseburger combo + 7 piece jalapeños costs approximately $15.96 in Texas
San Francisco parking difficulty is consistent year-round, not seasonal
Flipper Room in Concord is easier to visit and better maintained than San Francisco venues
Game On Pinball is currently working with landlord on exterior signage improvements
California charged tourist tax of $0.40 per day on hotel accommodations
Alcatraz audio tour experience is superior to guided tour format
Pinball machines are fundamentally stupid and only respond to programmed instructions from switches
Opto sensors fail through becoming dirty or starting to flicker over time
All solid-state and modern pinball games include built-in switch matrix testing
Switch testing is a good starting point for troubleshooting pinball machine problems
This is a work-related two-week trip to California
Primary work location is Fremont with reactor-related work at satellite site
This is Hardy's first visit to California
Limited free time available, primarily weekends for sightseeing
Hardy plans to visit Alcatraz and drive across Golden Gate Bridge
Installing one speaker side at a time makes the installation process easier
Keeping the factory foam during installation improves the light show effect
The Cointaker power adapter should not dangle in the lower cabinet to avoid connector stress
Factory bolts on transformers are sometimes permanently glued in place and cannot be easily disassembled
Earthshaker reproduction decals are notably tacky and difficult to apply without air bubbles
Repro ramps for Earthshaker are wider than original standard ramps, causing space constraint issues
Vinyl mirroring is an acceptable functional substitute for traditional mirror blades when space constraints prevent standard blade installation
Modern reproduction backglass materials tend to be darker with deeper black tones compared to original backglass
Any debris underneath a decal during application will be magnified as a defect in the final result
Cary Hardy is traveling to TPF for the weekend
Earthshaker is being transported to TPF
Cary Hardy has resting bitch face and may appear angry despite friendly demeanor
Fiberglass resin should be applied to loose veneer before sanding to prevent fiber loss during restoration
Quality decals will adhere to clean surfaces and do not require full backbox coverage with base paint
Rattle-can clear coat produces inferior results compared to automotive clear coat
Original speaker components are appropriate to retain in classic pinball restoration rather than upgrading to modern audio systems
Reproduction ramps have an extra lip that makes them stronger but interferes with mounting original hardware
All pop bumper leaf switches required sensitivity adjustment during testing
The left slingshot failure was caused by diode soldering to incorrect lead
The game plays at 100% functionality after smoke test completion
Hardy is unsure if the restoration will be show-ready for Texas Pinball Festival and not expecting best-in-show placement
Playfield switch matrix dimple guides are frequently inaccurate and should not be trusted for alignment
Switch matrix reinstallation is the most challenging part of the playfield restoration process
Restoration will be completed and Earthshaker will be available at Texas Pinball Festival for play
Original Earthshaker playfield design has a gap issue where plastic pieces don't sit flush against the backplate
New playfield pre-drilled holes are too small for screws and can damage artwork if countersinking is not used
Translucent rubber bumpers will provide good light refraction and dispersion with LED playfield lighting
Original Earthshaker had t-post center posts, not the optional mounting found on this playfield
Ultrasonic board cleaning makes springs more elastic
New playfields with clear coating have narrower mounting holes than original manufacturing
Haggis expanded too quickly into a large facility relative to production capacity
Haggis is not scamming customers but rather experiencing legitimate supply chain issues
Haggis may only be staying alive due to customer deposits and paid-in-full payments
Deep Root Pinball represents a prominent example of legitimate customer fraud in pinball
Polishing wheel method produces good results for most items but struggles with complex mechs requiring detailed work in tight areas
12 hours of walnut media alone produced only modest cleaning improvement on drop target mechanism
Adding polishing compound at ratio of 1 tablespoon per pound of media created dramatically better results within 1-2 hours
Vibratory tumbler will be useful for mechs that would take significant time to polish using buffer wheel alone
Adding connectors to solenoid leads allows future coil replacement without soldering directly over the playfield
HEP uses the solenoid connector methodology in his restoration work
Cordless drills with torque settings will be standard for Hardy's future restoration projects
Solenoid connector installation will be applied to all of Hardy's future restorations
The Earthshaker restoration will continue with playfield population in a subsequent episode
Cary Hardy was uninvited from media opportunity at upcoming Expo
Cary Hardy is moving an Earthshaker pinball machine indoors
Earthshaker restoration project is beginning (Day one)
Cary Hardy will be collecting Nudge Magazine and has already purchased Volume 2
Battery lasts at least three hours on a single charge
Motion sensing mode consumes battery faster than standard mode
The headlamp is USB-C rechargeable
Audio design is the element most likely to make Jaws special and will be essential for full theme immersion
The roving fin target moment with audio buildup is the standout designed moment in Jaws
Shark bash toy lacks sufficient responsive feedback and feels unsatisfying to watch
Elizabeth is a coder on Jaws and this appears to be her first game
60-63% of poll respondents indicated they will not purchase Jaws across pre- and post-stream polls
Jaws ranks above AIQ but below Godzilla, Jurassic Park, and Iron Maiden among Keith Elwin's L1 games
Modern premium-priced games must 'check all the boxes' to justify purchase at $7,000+ price point
3D video mode will only be fully appreciated in-person with 3D glasses; video documentation inadequate
Jaws theme does not appeal to Hardy personally because the 1975 film predates his lifetime
Cary will not purchase Looney Tunes without playing it first at Texas Pinball Festival
New Wave Toys' previous arcade replicas (like Street Fighter 2) are playable and visually impressive
A 1/6-scale pinball machine would not be enjoyable to actually play, despite interactive cabinet features
Cary Hardy purchased two units of the Collector's Choice Twin Pack
One purchased unit will be given to a patron via live drawing to ensure legitimacy
Community reception is mixed, with some patrons purchasing and others deterring due to lack of playability
The DMD Kickstand prevents display/speaker panels from sliding and damaging cabinet powder coating
The tray can serve dual purpose as both DMD stand and tool holder on the machine's glass
DIY methods and home remedies for protecting DMDs while working exist but are less effective than the Pen Tools product
The pricing is too high and could be reduced by eliminating fancy branding and using stickers instead
Surface preparation (cleaning dust/debris) is required for optimal traction pad performance
Jaws is Cary Hardy's least favorite Keith Elwin game based on what has been seen so far
Cary Hardy's mind may change about Jaws after hands-on play or viewing Jack Danger's stream
Cary Hardy has signed an NDA with Pedretti Gaming
All parts in Pedretti Gaming remakes will be original Bally Williams parts built and made in the USA
Pedretti Gaming's first remake will be playable at Texas Pinball Festival
Chicago Gaming Company's remix operations and relationships remain intact
Chicago Gaming Company makes a superior product compared to other remake manufacturers
At least one or two games from community top-five remake wishlists will be included in Pedretti's lineup
Pedretti Gaming pricing will be competitive and in the expected range
Pedretti Gaming selected Cary Hardy as a content partner because of his honest feedback style
Pedretti Gaming's parts will be backwards compatible with original Bally Williams games
Information about Pedretti Gaming remakes will be announced over the next two months
Cary Hardy is creating a series of educational videos for Tee'd Off pinball newcomers
Most Earthshaker machines have a static Earthquake Institute building rather than the sinking mechanism originally intended
The sinking building mod kit is well-crafted and heavy-duty in construction
A 5/32nd drill bit is the correct size for removing Earthshaker building bracket rivets
The interconnect board connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect installation
System 11 cabinet design makes playfield access difficult, particularly for mounting the sinking building mechanism through the playfield
Repro ramps for Earthshaker can be slightly wider than original ramps and may create clearance issues with the sinking building
These new Spooky games are more exciting than any previous Spooky Pinball release to date
Texas Chain Saw Massacre game looks scarier than the actual 1974 film
Ben Heck is the primary code designer for TCM
TCM's layout features obtuse design with complex repeatable loop shots
Looney Tunes and TCM share similar gameplay mechanics but differ in coding and sound design
TCM's visual presentation and pinball machine execution surpasses the source movie in quality
Cary Hardy has never won a Twippies Award and has never solicited votes for the awards
The Pen Caddy is beneficial for operators and people that run arcades
Universal fit cannot be guaranteed; most machines will require lockdown bar adjustment for proper installation
The magnet on Pen Caddy products is not strong enough
Using the Pen Caddy reduces intrusiveness to other players at an arcade location
The Pen Caddy 2 allows soldering iron to reach all areas of the playfield underside
Billy Tools nut drivers are insulated up to 1000 volts and feel similar to Wera brand
A handheld drill with socket attachments significantly improves speed when repeatedly assembling/disassembling playfields
An 11-in-1 multi-tool can replace most individual screwdrivers and basic sockets in a pinball toolkit
Harbor Freight multi-tools cost approximately $2 and function adequately for pinball work
The rechargeable work light is a major improvement over battery-powered alternatives for location work
Tool aesthetics played a role in selection decisions (Klein beer opener, matching colors)
Shaker motors are appreciated by the majority of pinball buyers
Color DMD adds approximately $500 to the resale price of DMD-era machines
PinSound is not applicable to newer Stern machines
Mirror blades are more universally accepted than custom art blades
Speaker light kits from Myth Pinball and PinWoofer are at acceptable pricing levels
NVRAM is cheap and well-appreciated on older games to prevent battery damage concerns
InvisiGlass usefulness depends on the environment; not valuable in dark environments with good overhead lighting already installed
PIN Stadium has received negative feedback from the community and some buyers request its removal to reduce machine price
Stern's decision to embed home-sales ads signals declining market demand compared to one year ago
In-game commercials targeting casual arcade players to buy home machines could hurt location operators
Punny Factory is not a game the mass of pinball enthusiasts want to add to their collection
Todd Tucky's famous game destruction video is over a decade old (12 years old)
Total Nuclear Annihilation is a better cooperative experience than solo play, partly due to its simple rule set combined with challenging difficulty.
Jack Danger's Foo Fighters design incorporates left-to-right shot mechanics and repeatable loop shots unavailable in standard fan layouts.
The Shadow's dagger ramp mechanic provides meaningful player control over ball routing direction.
Jurassic Park's art is 'kind of iffy' but the layout and John Williams score make up for aesthetic concerns.
Deadpool (Pro model) delivers 'almost every shot has a sense of kinetic satisfaction' and is George Gomez's best design work.
Modern digital entertainment (streaming, social media, video games) has created content oversaturation and shortened attention spans.
Pinball provides therapeutic value for coping with personal hardship and stress without solving underlying problems.
Content creators use multi-camera setups and B-roll footage specifically to maintain audience retention because static single-camera content loses viewers.
Brian Eddy has established a repetitive pattern of fan layout designs across multiple games.
Hardy has been actively engaged in the pinball hobby for 12 years with increasing appreciation year-over-year.
Elton John is Jersey Jack's best shooter to date
The theme doesn't speak to majority of pinball enthusiasts
Jersey Jack brought only three Elton John machines to Pinball Expo
Elton John will sell better than Godfather
Many people explicitly avoided waiting in line for Elton John at Pinball Expo
The launch video featured actors that likely couldn't name three Elton John songs
Steve Ritchie had the flippers fixed and they need to be maintained at this quality going forward
Cary Hardy won gold medal on Congo with a score of 812,968,160 points, more than double the second-place score
If tickets sell out in the future, Cary Hardy plans to make a video announcement for those without Facebook
Mobile app-based payment systems (Pin Access) will struggle to achieve operator adoption compared to traditional coin drop
Ninja Eclipse cabinet design is reminiscent of Zizzle Pinball machines and creates perception of low quality despite sophisticated internals
Ninja Eclipse is not ready for mainstream market adoption yet but approaching readiness
Cary Hardy will not purchase Labyrinth due to price and anticipation for future 'dream theme' game
The new Elvira BRK edition is visually superior to all previous Elvira versions
40th Anniversary Elvira edition had 199-unit production run
BRK edition will have 500-unit production run
40th Anniversary Elvira was released approximately one year before BRK variant
Stern overuses 'limited' and 'exclusive' terminology to the point where it has lost meaning
Jersey Jack Pinball abandoned 'Limited Edition' terminology in favor of 'Platinum' because their last three LE releases were readily available
Approximately 30 games are currently available for sale on Pinside, with a significant portion being 40th Anniversary Elvira editions
Stern did not display Elvira BRK at Expo 2026 main venue, only at factory tours
BRK edition received complete visual overhaul including playfield art, blades, backglass, and cabinet artwork
40th Anniversary Elvira edition did not receive comparable visual/artwork updates
Cool white bulbs provide better contrast with yellow backbox elements compared to orange bulbs
Display garbling during extended burn-in testing indicates connector failure rather than power supply inadequacy
PinSound amplifiers are required to power subwoofers in pinball machines
Factory sound cards cannot deliver sufficient power for subwoofer operation
Extended burn-in testing (hours) is standard practice before returning machines to owners to identify latent issues
PinSound products have top-notch board quality and components with no hardware problems experienced
Gameplay video with Bowen Kerins and Karen covering the new Labyrinth game will be released today
Meet-and-greet will be held at 8 PM Friday at the hotel bar area during Pinball Expo
Flasher bulbs on the backbox board were melted and fused to plastic, making removal difficult
A missing spring on the buck mechanism caused excessive transistor activation leading to Q44 burnout
Poor solder connections on lamp driver board caused multiple LED poles to be dim or non-functional
Lockdown bar detail work is an underrated cosmetic element that distinguishes quality restorations
Titan Pinball decals cost approximately $11-12 and significantly improve lockdown bar appearance
Factory board amplifiers are insufficient to properly drive new aftermarket speakers (8-inch subwoofer)
A switch mechanism was misaligned by approximately one inch outside the wood rails and required repositioning
Plexi office nameplate material used for ramp gap reinforcement is thicker and more durable than original cardboard
Outlet-powered cup holders remain on even when the game is turned off
Spike 2 systems have 5V general illumination that can power external devices
It's Lit cup holders are water-resistant and can withstand beverage spillage
Cup holders with GI lighting integration will have their effects tied to playfield light changes
Polarity correction requires swapping alligator clip connectors on the cup holder circuit
Mechanical features would be preferable to software-only decision systems in Labyrinth
The Labyrinth game should include authentic movie soundtrack elements like 'Dance, Magic Dance'
'Barrels of Fun' is a less appealing company name than 'Mystery Pinball'
C2 capacitor on Data East power supplies is nearly guaranteed to be leaking on all unserviced old machines
Batman '89 trough had likely not been removed since original manufacturing
Full power supply replacement is more cost-effective and reliable than Data East power supply rebuild
Novus II is effective as an abrasive cleaner for pinball machine metal and component restoration
Flame polishing acrylic ramps will improve appearance but not achieve perfect restoration
Playfield areas without mylar protection are 'trashed or on the verge of being trashed'
Naphtha is the most effective method for removing old decal adhesive from Batman '89 playfield
Sunlight LEDs are better aesthetic choice than cool white for this aged Batman '89 machine
PenDoc rotisserie is 'very heavy duty' and reliable for playfield rotation work
Faulty ground connections cause unpredictable electrical behavior in pinball machines
The left buck solenoid failed due to the MOSFET Q44 on the control board being burned out
A missing spring in the shooter lane switch caused it to rest improperly and likely triggered repeated solenoid firing that burned out the transistor
The machine's control board is OEM (original equipment manufacturer) except for some modifications
Batman '89 is a Data East machine requiring rotisserie access for comprehensive internal work
Hardy would repurchase Cactus Canyon Remake if CGC releases the promised code update
Production cost for cosmetic changes on anniversary edition is approximately $500 per unit while price premium is thousands of dollars
The underlying gameplay/mechanics determine Jurassic Park's quality, not art package or limited status
Consumers can purchase illusion copper powder coating through Prismatic Powders and apply via local powder coater for couple hundred dollars instead of thousands
Venom's success will primarily depend on code quality rather than hardware design
Cary Hardy won the Grand Champion Best Show award for his Getaway restoration
Community interest in Venom appears minimal with very few people expressing excitement about the game direction
Embassy Suites rooms for TPF 2024 sold out in three minutes after 9 AM CST booking opened
Rooms were available before the official 9 AM time, as early as 8:45 AM
24-hour advance notice of room booking was provided via email and social media
Surrounding hotels within walking distance of Embassy Suites have availability for TPF 2024
TPF website has a hotel page listing alternative accommodations with group rate codes
PIN Stadium lighting kits provide superior playfield illumination compared to Stern's Expression Lighting system
This installation video should have been released months ago but was delayed until pinball game code was more complete
PIN Stadium wire colors do not correspond to the flasher output colors they control
Light bar mounting rings should be positioned as high as possible on the back panel, 1.5-2 inches from inner cabinet
The Neo Atom app sometimes cannot distinguish between Neo Atom and Orion's Belt controllers without explicit naming
Users should not plug power into the Orion's Belt controller during initial setup to avoid confusion in the app
Scott has developed a comprehensive flasher index for multiple pinball game models to guide proper installation
Camera sensors let in more light than human eyes perceive, making PIN Stadium lighting appear brighter in video than real life
Venom's fast lock systems shoot balls to flippers immediately rather than slowly feeding them, creating near non-stop gameplay
Venom's teaser videos were shot at normal speed because fast-motion filming would have been needed to properly capture the gameplay
Boss battles in Venom can manipulate flipper behavior including disabling or reversing flippers
Hardy will not purchase any pinball game without first playing it hands-on
Venom is not suitable for casual players or those seeking slower-paced gameplay
Stern is implementing RPG-style progression mechanics in recent games including Venom, Deadpool, Teenage Mutant Turtles, and Mandalorian
Pop bumpers are underutilized in Venom's standard play patterns or dependent on host selection
Centaur Revisited features RGB lighting throughout the playfield, a major departure from original black/white/warm LED setup
The Orblivion Edition has a digital display on the apron while the Beast Edition does not
Red underglow is implemented on Centaur Revisited machines
The music in Centaur Revisited's trailer sounds similar to Rammstein's style
Code features and differences between Beast and Orblivion editions will be detailed in a future video
The 50-unit Orblivion Edition production number creates extreme scarcity that will drive FOMO among collectors
