Getting snorks (outlane saves) is the most important mechanic in Dune Pinball

Desert Power mode perk was changed from spotting shots with sand trap to providing 2x damage in harvester battles

Fedaykin multiball becomes progressively harder to lock as harvester battles advance

Jackpot values in Fedaykin multiball are based on accumulated harvester battle values

IE Pinball streams at 4K resolution for YouTube upload

Four different wizard modes exist in Dune, requiring four separate DUNE letter completions to access all of them

Worm mechanical behavior changed from previous code version; now requires continuous target hits to move to edge positions rather than single-shot movement

Three additional mini wizard modes (Fall of Siege, Thumper variant, Liberator Ruckus, Voice from the Outer World) are planned but not yet implemented

Super spinner feature grants spice resource on every spin when active; newly implemented in this code version

Sand snorkel ball save must be lit and loaded via ramp shot; persists if drained but not used

Harvester battle values scale from battle 1 through battle 6+, with 2x multiplier progression

Worm Ride (main Dune film theme) plays during high score initials entry

Mystery awards appear once per day/night cycle and are lost if the player misses the shot

Battle of Arrakeen wizard mode is a recently added feature that IE Pinball has only streamed once before

Shaker effects are present on Dune machines; described as subtle and non-overpowering

All six prophecy modes are now implemented and functional in Dune v2025.06.20

Dune has been fixed from earlier issues and is working great

Dune is easier and less drainy than Labyrinth

Dune's flippers are comparable to Labyrinth's flippers (both fantastic)

Dune features tap passing mechanics similar to other modern Barrels of Fun games

The pain box requires simultaneous button hold and successful shot execution to save ball from outlane drain

Prophecy modes cannot be stacked with multiball modes and are single-ball-only

Fedaykin multiball can be stacked with desert power multiball and daytime modes

The gelatinous cube magnet has a thermal fuse that shuts off around 150°C and reactivates around 120°C

D&D Pinball should not be used in tournament play due to thermal safety concerns

The left ramp coil lacks thermal protection and malfunctions when overheated

Treasure chests in D&D Pinball are one-time only rewards that cannot stack

Bard character with 2x scoring multiplier makes jackpots worth approximately 50 million points

Shield light indicator has a bug where it doesn't illuminate despite the shield being functionally active

The left ramp remains partially down when overheated instead of raising fully

Dungeon Crawl level one routing varies by code version, with left path being longer in the current version

In Jaws Challenge Mode, trap-up positions cause health loss, similar to Guns N' Roses mechanics

Shark leveling in Challenge Mode has a maximum cap that prevents further leveling and health gain

Multiple balls in play prevent effective reel target hitting due to cancellation

Challenge Mode is easier for building health through general play compared to Bounty Phase

Challenge Mode difficulty makes it stressful and difficult to play extended sessions

IE Pinball's streaming schedule will be spotty for several weeks due to event commitments

There are two decently sized tournaments happening this week in pinball in other parts of the country

New England Pinball Championships and Pinball Asylum are running big events this weekend

Pinball Expo was the first big public showing of Labyrinth

Labyrinth has received new code updates that improve gameplay

In tournament play, the Peach mode is optimal for players to target via row completion

FES (Forestfire) is the most difficult mode to complete on Labyrinth

Streaming pinball content is expensive due to equipment and travel costs

A Guns N' Roses pinball machine sold in Southern California for $6,300

Saturday Twitch feed for IFPA 19 had 55,000 views; cumulative views across multiple feeds exceeded 150,000

IFPA 19 broadcast peaked at 11,000 concurrent viewers on Twitch when featured on front page

Pulp Fiction has a difficulty rating of 2.5 to 3.5 on a 1-5 scale.

Pulp Fiction is harder than James Bond to reach wizard mode on their current setup.

The game's DMD cannot properly display or distinguish between 100M and 200M+ scores.

Divine Intervention mode doubles the player's score upon completion.

Briefcase is the most difficult/problematic mode in Pulp Fiction.

Pulp Fiction requires significant broadcast setup adjustments to stream properly.

Josh (another pinball player) is prepping for states competition and normally would be present during streams.

Next stream will likely be Labyrinth, then Jaws in two weeks, depending on when Chain City loans the machines.

Divine Intervention wizard mode consists of five phases: Briefcase, Pawn Shop, Cast Chaos, Pulp Fiction Frenzy, and Briefcase Boogie

The Divine Intervention mode takes 20-30 minutes to complete depending on player skill

A new Pulp Fiction code update is coming with significant added content

The Shark mod for pinball machines makes sharks swallow the ball, created by someone named John

Pulp Fiction's audio design and integration with lighting is exceptional and a major strength of the game

Digital pinball games (like V-Pen, Future Pinball, Mystery Pinball Theater 3000) are useful for learning rules but not equivalent to physical pinball

The streamer ordered a Jaws Premium Edition pinball machine but does not have a confirmed delivery date

Aftermarket modifications should not change the original designer's intent for a pinball machine

Labyrinth requires 13 orbs to reach the final wizard mode (Battle of the Earth)

The game has 13 modes total

Only 1,200 units maximum are being produced of Labyrinth

Orbs are distributed as follows: 6 for finishing each of the modes, 3 for getting all friends to level 4, 1 for 6 Wise Men quests, 1 for Goblin City, 1 for Friend multiball, 1 for Brick Keeper

Friend multiball can only be played once per game unless modes reset

Bog/Pyre is the hardest mode to obtain an orb from because the super jackpot must be hit

Labyrinth is designed to be playable for casual players while maintaining significant end-game challenge

The modes in Labyrinth are very deep and fleshed out with substantial content

IE Pinball host is selling a Rush (Stern) machine

IE Pinball broadcast quality improves every year at this event

The Overlord shot on Foo Fighters requires multiple (5-6+) hits to progress through multiball levels

Spinner lane shots frequently dribble down the middle and cause drains on Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters v0.98 includes target lane multipliers that stack multiplicatively (2x, 4x) for subsequent shots

The wizard mode finale in Foo Fighters resets the game with 2x scoring multiplier

Foo Fighters game design includes auto-collect mechanics for certain ball save and extra ball features

IE Pinball prefers wizard modes that follow the structure of Jurassic and Godzilla with ending sequences

Rush pinball has new code that IE Pinball plans to stream next week

IE Pinball's regular streaming schedule is Wednesday nights around 6-7pm

I actually got a Iron Maiden. I haven't streamed it yet. I've been meaning to, but things keep coming up in between.

I was able to upgrade. Man, holds no power over me. Because I used to have a Stern AC/DC Pro a couple years ago. So I figured the Premium Edition here to stay it's one of my permanent games

My collection is just becoming an Elwynn collection Four out of the five of his games right now

My machine just came two months ago, I think it was.

I actually lost to Raymond Davidson. Both of them. Raymond Davidson. And when I blew the first two balls on Godzilla's circuit I remembered, oh damn it I'm going to lose another game.

I haven't actually paid attention to tournament strategy for this game, and I can't quite figure it out.

The women's tournament requires 12 total scores playing 3 scores on each of 4 different games with duplicates

Circuit Finals will be streamed on Sam Stern's YouTube page with Mark as commentator

I don't think this will be [Texas Pinball Festival or similar Pinball Expo event]

I normally oil all my spinners, and I didn't think I should on this one [Legends of Valhalla]

In Jurassic Park v1.11, shooting the truck after accumulating jackpots awards cast letters instead of requiring direct target hits

New Blood is one of the best wizard modes ever designed for pinball

Jurassic Park and Godzilla are the two strongest contenders for IE Pinball's favorite pinball game

Completing all 11 trifectas is required to access the final New Blood wizard mode sequence

The Jurassic Park machine requires switch re-gapping maintenance

IE Pinball has a Valhalla pinball machine in the garage that has not yet been unboxed

The next stream will likely feature Iron Maiden or Valhalla

IE Pinball would be willing to stream Venom pinball if community members send it to the stream location

All 11 trifectas are achievable in Jurassic Park v1.11; seven in main game, four in Escape Nublar wizard mode

Perfect Paddock completion increases the value of the trifecta when obtained

If a dinosaur escapes during rescues, the paddock completes but the trifecta perk is lost; this is new in v1.11

T-Rex mechanism on streamer's machine is currently disabled and requires disassembly to fix getting-stuck issue

Streamer traded Rick and Morty pre-order (~$1000 deposit) plus ~$1000 to acquire Jurassic Park Premium

Streamer considers Stranger Things to be a good game once the code matured; praised its sound design

Godfather final mode is expected in the next Jurassic Park code release

Jurassic Park Premium is a 'long term keeper' and very good game based on streamer's extended play and upgrade decision

James Bond has three main multiball modes: Mission Multiball (start via three in-lanes), Bond Multiball (collect six Bond letters), and Villain Multiball (complete six villain modes)

The disc/spinner on James Bond is not resting in its proper position and blocks MI6 targets

James Bond is not worth $15-20k at MSRP despite being fun to play

Hitting MI6 targets during a mode extends the timer on first hit and doubles mode scoring on second hit

The wizard mode consists of a build phase followed by ball-locking in the scoop with a 20-second timed shooting phase

Switching from Foo Fighters pre-order to James Bond LE was a good decision

James Bond is exhausting to play due to rule complexity

IE Pinball repeatedly chose to play James Bond over all other games during venue visits to Ace

IE Pinball dislikes the default JJP tilt setting (two warnings per game) on The Godfather

The Godfather code is version 1.03 with everything enabled

Onto Pinball is the distributor for Jersey Jack Pinball

The Godfather's flippers are strong and capable of making all ramps

The Godfather features tilt warning lights

The Godfather has higher scoring inflation than most Jersey Jack Pinball games

The Godfather's audio quality is good and addresses prior community concerns

The Godfather's playfield layout combines design elements from Pirates and Guns N' Roses

The Godfather has substantial depth with multiple modes and game systems that will take time to learn

The first ever live gameplay stream of The Godfather 50th Anniversary was scheduled on IE Pinball's Twitch channel

A significant Godzilla-themed pinball event or announcement is imminent

The upper loop visibility modification costs approximately $160

Rush Premium is more brutally difficult than Godzilla but allows longer play sessions

Rush Premium will see increased tournament play as Bond is not yet available for use

Achievable score on La Villa Strangiato mode is 12+ billion points

Achievable score on Cygnus X-1 Book II mode is 31+ billion points

Rush's scoop mechanism has two eject patterns: right eject normally, bottom eject when ball locked

Rush Premium is worth keeping as a personal machine based on the building/combo system engagement

Toy Story 4 Pinball does not justify its price point relative to quality

The diverter on the right ramp is unreliable and fails to properly route balls

The inner loop shot is difficult to execute and doesn't loop consistently

Flipper power adjustments do not improve the inner loop shot reliability

Godzilla and Jurassic Park are significantly better games than Toy Story 4

The game's code is not deep enough and relies on repetitive carnival modes

Toy Story 4 is designed for location operators, not home collectors

The Scorpion feature has a known bug that will be fixed in the next code version

Thor mode in Avengers Infinity Quest requires all shots to be completed in a single ball without progress carryover

Three-ball portal locks are theoretically possible in Avengers Infinity Quest but the maximum practically available is two

The billion-point award in Infinity Quest can only be obtained by collecting all six gems and defeating Thanos in a single game session

Black Widow character progression at higher levels provides assistance with Thor mode through a 'Thor Helper' mechanic

IE Pinball has successfully completed Trophy Mania Hard Mode twice previously (on Wednesday or Monday prior to this stream)

Becoming a Twitch partner significantly increases the possibility of gaining transcodes, which can lead to World Championships front-page visibility

Space Gem replay capability was a temporary feature that has been removed or changed in Avengers Infinity Quest

IE Pinball will assist The Asylum with IFPA 7 tournament streaming coverage if called upon

IE Pinball intends to keep Godzilla Pinball as a long-term collection piece

IE Pinball is increasing streaming frequency to pursue Twitch partnership before major pinball events

Led Zeppelin's right orbit scoop has a geometry issue where the ball hits the top of the ball guide before reaching the scoop, disrupting trajectory

The custom fix using washers wedged between rubber and backboard initially resolved ~90% of the scoop issue but has degraded over recent streaming sessions

Led Zeppelin's flippers are showing noticeable wear/fade over the last two streaming sessions

Insider Connected flipper reader device costs approximately $200 at launch, possibly with introductory pricing

Pro edition machines may include apron components that Premium editions do not

Halloween pinball recently received a code update

The Wizard mode in Led Zeppelin is the highest-value and most engaging mode in the game

Godzilla pinball is more difficult to play at The Ace venue than on streamer's home setup

Host has achieved 8 billion points from Super Drain and expects future balance nerfs

The spinner shot on the left ramp is the most troublesome/inconsistent shot in Godzilla

Scoop shot is deceptively difficult to hit consistently on Godzilla Premium Edition

The 2x scoring multiplier via blood currency completely overpowers all other game strategies

Halloween v1.01 code is very early and not production-ready despite version numbering

The same mode is being forced to repeat during multiball, preventing mode selection

The game lacks clear communication about orbit requirements for mode lighting

Ball lifters eliminate need for in-lane switches, creating unusual playfield flow

The topper on Halloween is louder than the ball lifters

Halloween has stricter shot timing with no grace period compared to other pinball games

The game's difficulty mode six has a time limit mechanic unique among the mode suite

Rick and Morty is a fantastic pinball game

Led Zeppelin's wizard mode Celebration Day requires completing all 10 songs at platinum level

Extra ball farming was patched out and multiplier increases are disabled during multiball in tournament mode

Paddle tournament registered 80 players, exceeding organizer expectations of 60-70

Celebration Day wizard mode awards 1.1 billion points for all platinums without multiplier

The Icarus multiplier mechanic can theoretically reach 6500x through cumulative standard multiplier building

Paddle tournament A division has 16 finalists and B division has 8 finalists

The rapid flipper pressing technique creates vibration to stabilize ball movement on the opposite flipper

Prize for contest winner is $100 gift certificate to pinball venue

The four booster multiballs must be maxed out before starting a song to achieve maximum song jackpot values

Cradling the ball during song modes causes the crowd meter to deplete and results in being booed off stage

The final wizard mode may not be finalized and could be a placeholder in current code

The machine has experienced intermittent sensor calibration drift requiring manual recalibration during play sessions

Tournament play will likely include rule and add-a-ball limiting settings to balance competition

The game emphasizes all-in strategy (never cashing out songs) to maximize scoring potential

Missing the scoop shot at the end of a song results in complete loss of the song's jackpot value

The machine requires 36 individual patches that modify gameplay rules and can be collected during play

Black Panther mode can be exploited through repeated hitting and will likely be fixed in a future update

The disc mechanic frequently obstructs shots to the Super Jackpot during gameplay

Mystery lit during certain game phases awards add-a-ball

The magnet grab mechanism on the playfield is inconsistent and sometimes fails to activate

Portal lock state is difficult to track visually during gameplay

Late-game strategy for Avengers Infinity Quest is more complex than early-game strategy

Super Jackpot award can be blocked or delayed by disc positioning during gameplay

LaserLos is currently streaming another pinball machine (Jurassic Park/Nublar) during this session

The two-flip Solenoid Gem completion may be a record or the best possible performance

84 flips remaining is an achievable performance target that no one will be able to beat

This risky gem sequencing strategy would not be attempted in tournament play

IE Pinball was the first to capture Sperm Attack wizard mode achievement on camera

Player owns or has access to multiple pinball machines including Jurassic, Shrek, and Lord of the Rings

IE Pinball bartop MSRP is $600, Kickstarter price is $299, base unit is $149

A former senior VP from Sony PlayStation is joining IE Pinball to handle game licensing and partnerships

Rick and Morty pinball code is still in early development state

The multiball on Rick and Morty is difficult to control and makes jackpot value tracking challenging

A Wizard mode does not yet exist in Rick and Morty pinball

The player owns both Rick and Morty and Twilight Zone pinball machines

Jersey Jack Pinball machines are difficult to maintain due to mechanical complexity

The player has invested significant time dialing in the Rick and Morty machine

Rick and Morty is comparable to or potentially better than TNA pinball, pending final code completion

900 Million Death Blow wizard mode completed in 6 minutes 11 seconds

Playfield lights were not updating during gameplay, preventing accurate state tracking

The extra ball percentage in Big Buck Hunter tournament mode is locked at 8% and cannot be adjusted

The flipper spring tension on the Big Buck Hunter machine is too strong, causing excessive free hits

The Big Buck Hunter machine occasionally routes the ball down the center drain inconsistently with no clear cause

The Open Season wizard mode took 15 days to achieve from the start of the challenge

IE Pinball plans to stream gameplay battles with Nick Lane at Bubble of Pinball the next day with both games on screen

Rick and Morty pinball is being acquired by IE Pinball

Wizard of Oz will likely be sold/traded out of IE Pinball's collection

New machine arrival expected March to April for IE Pinball

IE Pinball's personal high score on Wizard of Oz is 11 million points

IE Pinball previously owned Monster Pirates with a Blackwater mode that scored over 100 million points

I miss having this game in my collection

Single-player pinball marathons are exhausting

The Super Jackpot callout in Twister is superior to other pinball games

Buck Hunter requires significant sensitivity calibration and is difficult to play

The Destroy the Ring mode in LOTR pinball allows ball adds by completing all 12 ring shots

LOTR pinball has a mechanical issue where two balls can become stuck in the ring mechanism, requiring power pull and manual repositioning

Original flipper coils in this LOTR machine were not upgraded, but the streamer installed fans to improve performance

The post in the back of the LOTR machine needs adjustment to prevent the right orbit from overshooting the tower target

Two Towers is the best mode in LOTR pinball

LOTR pinball in-game settings for tilt warnings are either one or three, with no middle option

The streamer has never completed Destroy the Ring mode twice in a single game session

The first three Open Season goals (buck hit, ram hits, moose sequence) are fairly simple

The seventh goal (boss battle) is the most difficult and will 'break' players

The final wizard mode is not implemented in the current firmware version 0.99

Wizard mode values are calculated by multiplying character count by super jackpot collection

Dead Men Tell No Tales chapter has fewer available characters than other chapters

Barbosa character mechanics will change in next firmware requiring actual shot hits for super jackpot credit

Strategy employed in current firmware will not work in next version due to Barbosa changes

Norrington character choice makes it easier to progress through boat sequences

The machine was previously configured with balls in reserve, changed to regular balls by prior owner

Inner loop shots worth 10,000 points; can be multiplied to 60,000 with 6x multiplier

At World's End wizard mode generated the largest shot values IE Pinball has encountered on any pinball wizard mode to date

The IE Pinball mobile camera rig cost approximately $150,000

The reactor-themed game is doing very well on location play

There is significant hype around this game currently in the community

A specific location operator uses 50-cent pricing for all games

The scoop kick-out on this game is unpredictable in its ball speed

Total Nuclear Annihilation had approximately 36 players competing in the tournament

The tournament ran 8 qualifying rounds before advancing 8 players to finals

The drone collection requirement is unreasonably high compared to other Iron Man features

There is no audio or visual fanfare when completing the Whiplash Super Jackpot

The Do or Die multiball was achieved for the first time after three days of play

Iron Man Pinball uses tournament mode settings that vary the game experience between players

The post pass mechanic from left flipper to right flipper does not work reliably

IE Pinball runs Critical Hits tournament at their house in December

IE Pinball had to cancel a 24-hour battle tournament

Center post removal has a larger impact on The Hobbit than on The Wizard of Oz

Battle of Five Armies is a completion-heavy mode that requires significant playfield execution

The Hobbit will no longer be featured in IE Pinball's Friday streams after this broadcast

A super wizard mode is planned for The Hobbit but not implemented in v1.90

IE Pinball has only encountered Battle of Five Armies gameplay through streaming, not external play

Fireball Frenzy should be played as a single-ball mode rather than during multiball to ensure completion

The witch skill shot is more efficient than hitting the witch three times for progressing toward Fireball Frenzy

Factory tilt settings provide two warnings before instant tilt

Completing the first or second set of horses (five unique/same color horses) awards an extra ball

Horse multipliers on Wizard of Oz provide significant score multipliers during multiball

The upper right flipper on Wizard of Oz is dangerous and unpredictable for ball control

Five-ball frenzy can be started during single-ball mode as a deliberate strategy

IE Pinball Nationals finals are being streamed on Twitch
