The way over to the bonus show what's going on everybody I was trying to find a good venom theme I got this one from a stereo it seems like a pops a lot better everything else was too atmospheric Venom remember that game so you know what I haven't done in a while is the story time with dawn and I had this idea that I I was going to do a series for every game that I've owned where I could talk about where I got it, how I got it, how did I purchase it, why did I purchase it, good or bad, what was the experience like having it, upkeep and all that business and then where did it go, what happened to it, right? So let's do a Dawn Storytime with Venom because I was thinking about it the other day because we were hot on the heels of this Dungeons and Dragons game, right, the next one from Stern or whatever and I'm just thinking, man, that combined with a price increase is going to be kind of difficult to handle. This Week in Pinball, Terminate So join me as we go on a journey back, I don't know, eight months ago when I owned a Venom. So if you'll recall, I tried this thing. I wanted to have this the Stern pinball rotation program. Something I started where I would buy a Stern pinball machine, nominally a premium, and then I would play it for four or five months, three, four months, and then when the next Stern game came out, I would list the one that I bought for sale and then use those funds to buy the next one. And I wanted to see if in this rotating fashion I could just kind of always have the new game in my house. It turns out there's another way to do that too. I guess Stern has a loaner program. I saw VigVP, he's a YouTuber, talks about virtual pinball machines. Apparently he's getting games from Stern now that he can play and I'm like, Ooh, I would love to be in on that. So good on him for figuring that out. Me, like a sucker, I've been buying games. But until I blow up and get enough followers that I can command that type of indulgence, What's the Hellgamewasinthemixtherealsothatahad? What the heck else was it? There was four games that I did this. And then I did John Wick as like the fifth. You know, like the big, alright, let's get rid of... I'll talk about John Wick again later. It'll come to me. What the hell was the other game? It was Foo Fighters, That Left, Venom Came In, Venom Left, Something Came In, and then it was Jaws. I'm not even going to look it up. I'm going to just let my brain struggle to think of what the fourth game in the mix was. I'm going to feel stupid once I think of it. But what had happened was venom was revealed and we were all hoping it was going to be something better. We all wanted Indiana Jones or some such. But then lo and behold it was Venom. We got a look at the gameplay in the playfield and it was just devoid, man. It looked like a multi-morphic game because everything in that game is in the back third. The X-Men X-Men is loaded middle third front third back third. There's stuff everywhere. There's a danger room all kinds of stuff all kinds of stuff Venom had literally like below the doppelganger There was I don't even know if you count the fast locks But there was like one stand-up target on the left and that was it otherwise it was the same bottom as stranger things It was the same two thirds bottom as stranger things like literally what the heck only didn't even have that kick out hole Dos こợσlude readable Allisprator También ações en la współnes.com, lokalarecom.elective, Venom Premium, let's do it. Now the VenomLE came out and I think that was one of the first ones I played. It was a Blue Moon, which used to have pinball machines in Madison now that they're not there anymore. But I got to play the game. The mirrored art blades, I loved that. I loved the fast lock system. I liked the shiny art on the cabinets, not gonna lie. And I really liked the laser gooey kind of dark purple armor that came with the game Call me a sucker for that kind of stuff I love it This is right when I was working with Cab Custom and just started with them And so I floated and I asked them, like, can you design a relatively close copy to the LE Armor for Venom? You know, so for my premium, I'll get it, I'll powder coat it, and we'll do the dark purple thing. And yeah, he's like, bet, yeah, let's do it. And he did, and oh my God, they came and they were like, airline This Week in Pinball, Terminate Or just email them and get on a list for something. I love Mad Pinball because they're easy to work with and they don't have miles long lines like some of the other more popular distributors. So when everybody else has you kind of waiting for a popular game, Mad can come through in a clinch, man. I nearly got a Metallica LE like way after release, you know, so like things can happen. I wanted a Metallica Premium when a customer reached out to order a build from me and he was able to secure one and I have it coming here soon. This Week in Pinball Podcast, Terminate I don't think I would see that quick of a turnaround on ordering and finding a game available from some of the other folks that I've also ordered things from. So that's why I like and support and I love my relationship I got with Matt Pinball. Jeff is good people, man. He's good people. So I got my Venom, you know, and I'm sticking to the guns, man. We're going to do this. What the hell was that for the game? Someone email me. So I get my Venom, open it up. I get my cab custom armor. I get it powder coated. Boom. This Week in Pinball, Terminate I'm playing the game and I'm liking the fact that I have this game. I can play it. Every game that I play adds towards my total of my experience points. I'm going up levels. I'm working to try to unlock characters. You know, for Venom, once you work through it, there's four sub bosses. Then there's Grendel, the big dragon boss that can change your flippers around. And then there's Mysterion or whatever the hell the main bad guy, Knapp. No, not Knapp. Knappler? Kepler? The hell was his name? The big bad guy. Once you beat him, that's effectively And then you get to unlock a new character I was really looking forward to that. So I'm about 50 or so games in just getting my butt handed to me by Grendel. And then I do finally beat him which took some doing and it took me so long that it wasn't even really satisfied with it, it was just like, oh my god that should have happened before now. And I get stuck, right? You know, now this is a new game. I'm still learning the shots, where the shots are on the flippers. You know, I got that. I'm getting a idea of the code, but as far as like progression, what are we supposed to do? When you go and fight this guy, you know, the shots are timed. So if you don't get it in time, he attacks you and then your flippers die or something and you're dead. And it was incredibly frustrating because I was at level 99. I could level up no more, you know. внут Ral I was like, get this game out of my damn house. I'm so frustrated with it. I'm stuck. I can't go back. I can't go forward. I'm playing the same game over and over. What the heck? So I kept at it, begrudgingly. And eventually, like I figured out my shots. I found out that like, oh, you know, if I flip really quickly as the ball's coming out the right end lane, as soon as it clears the sling, it'll go right into, you know, that little bucket vuck shot. So that was one I had to do. I think venom had a lot to do with me learning these little tricks that I now apply to other pinball machines. So while I had leveled up in the game, I needed to personally level up my skill. So once I did that, finally I did beat whatever this guy's name is. I'm going to look. All right. I feel totally stupid. As soon as I paused there, null popped in my head. Like that's the name of the guy. Like literally, as soon as I hit pause recording, In our market Click on constantlyasceptical Cuando we post videos you gonna see So you won miss our social networking and kein I did look up what the fourth game was and I feel stupid now because it John Wick What the hell man This is like some forgotten game I thought was between Venom and Jaws Regardless to get back into it I was super frustrated with the game but then as soon as I beat him and I was able to pick Wolverine to unlock and I got to start over I all of a sudden started having so much more fun with this game Like now, I had dialed in my shots much better than when I first played the game. And then playing through it again now like I was able to get through a little quicker I beat the guys at lower levels than I was before like my skill did improve and that's when the game really kind of started to blossom for me I played this game 500 times in about half the time it took me to play 500 in foo fighters this was a game that I kept one more gaming right I also had fun updating it I reached out to John Ford he does flip mods and he came up with a 3d printed bell tower to replace The game is a 3-sided metal bell tower with stickers on it. He made a 3D printed one, which looked better. I thought with the whole bell in the bell tower, I thought Taco Bell, so I wanted to get Taco Bell branding on it. Boy came through. He made me a custom bell tower with the Taco Bell logo on it, which is still in that game, by the way, on location in Minnesota. Finally and finally it was time for me to drive one right for leaving the camera with ugh mgźg the scoop and dung Jrd&th Primus recomp consumed Untouchable You gdzie you Let him just get free Okie Then next time on those that chug jarti Speaking Break this backstory with any of the following facts that may be relevant in the course of your contemplating brainstorming. That can be found in linear being dzieci Come here if you're tired of this тоже pieces is pretty hard to to crispy The game was a little bit more complex than the first game, but it was still a lot of fun. I was starting to have a lot of fun with this game, and eventually I played through and unlocked all the characters, and then I would play through and I could beat Null when I got to him now. It wasn't as frustrating. Every time I got to him, I'd beat him in like half the time that it took me the time before. with music performances sickness and global Izal with music pasar retiringarrange морby conventiontable game console event weekend in baltimore game ofixí champagne and celebration eve-Co protestpassar This Week in Pinball Podcast, Terminate So I'm not Win Schilling for the game. The game's available super cheap. And honestly, if you haven't owned one and you like pinball, I think the premium or even the LE, because they're both about the same price, pretty fun game. Just put the spinner in there. Make sure you put in the spinner. Put in the spinner. So I had a lot of fun with Venom, but it was time for, it looks like Jaws to come out. So of course I had to get that. So I listed Venom for sale. This was great. I actually had a topper from Sparky Pinball, This Week in Pinball Sparky Malmberg he on pin side He makes these laser cut metal toppers that are powder coated and they come like in three different layers or three levels you know so there a front piece a middle piece and a If you have your pinball underneath your pinball you can put it on top of the pinball and you can win it It's like a cool topper. When they first came out, they were $140. Now they're $200. But I had an extra one from Rush. I had sold my Rush game. I sold that with the Stern topper. So I took his topper off of it and I had it just kicking around. Thank you for watching please like, comment, and subscribe to world making fun games.

Everything great about that game, the picking a character, changing the game field, really changes how the game plays, it changes up your strategy in a meaningful way. That part is fun. And in a game like Venom, it's really the only gimmick that it has is that back third. Everything else is, I mean, there's one stand-up target, not even a drop target. There's one stand-up target in the middle third of the game. You got doppelganger and a stand-up target.
