We're back for more. Hey, it's that Flip N Out Pinball guy. Hey, Zach, how you doing? Oh, dude, I'm having a blast tonight actually. This is fun. Tonight's great. After speaking with our buddy Josh Sharpe, He probably made my month with the story that he told me about he himself and the late Lyman Sheets creating some code for the upcoming unreleased enhanced code for Cactus Canyon remake. If Chad is familiar with Terminator 3 and early Stern pinball machine, they've got a call out by Arnold Schwarzenegger that says, shoot here and here. Anybody remember that? No. We got some people in chat remember that For sure So they In that game they say he says Shoot here and here it's a call out Where they highlight the string of lights to guide The players where to shoot for their Upcoming ball and play right before you plunge It's the inserts light up and it says Shoot here and they light up and it says Oh here and it lights up there I think every game should have that Josh Sharpe said this is very Endearing he said one of the last things that Lyman and I were reviewing was the new speech list for Bionic Bart that we plan on having recorded for this next update. He said, I brought up that we should do something similar and have Bionic Bart say, shoot here and here and here and here and light up the play field. How cool is that? Yeah. Without skipping a beat, the late Lyman Sheets, who we all love and who is a pinball god, Lyman Sheets added that we should also include a but not here and flash the outlayed insert. Who does not have chills down their arms? That's unbelievable. He said that both of them laughed hysterically over the concept and he just wanted to share that with the chat here. So thoughts and prayers and everything go out to the late Lyman Sheets. I miss his code. We'll always miss his code. But we get one more taste of his genius and his brilliance in the upcoming enhanced code that will be coming out for Cactus Canyon in the future that will be playable and eligible purchase for every Cactus Canyon remake model, the SE, the SE Plus, and the LE. There we go. Another added benefit of purchasing and playing this game on location. God, I love that story, guys. That is cool. Thank you so much for sharing that. I literally got the goosebumps.
