Hello and welcome to yet another edition of the Pinball Party Podcast. An audio form of entertainment from my mouth to inside your ears. This one is all about pinball. And by all about pinball I mean like 30% because the rest of it is going to be a bunch of neurotic fucking nonsense. But whatever, let's get into pinball. Before we do, if everyone could do this, I would be mucho appreciated. And I'm serious. Although I'm coming across as like bleh. I've released a couple singles recently. And for those who don't know, the artist name I go by is Neon Dale. I do the writing, recording, singing, guitar, everything. Everything on it. I've released two singles in the past about eight weeks. Because releasing albums is dumb these days. Story short, if you could go onto Spotify or Apple Music or wherever you listen to music and either one follow Neon Dale which would be great but the two singles recently, Excuses, Working things through so I get a feeling Maybe a coward, maybe I'm useless Maybe I'm all the things my parents used to say And last dance.

I'll put links in the show notes. If you could just add those to one of your playlists, like whatever, I don't care. You don't have to ever listen to it. You can be like, this song is dogshit. It's not, but you could, you can hate it. I don't give a shit. It would help me out a ton more than anything. Just adding those songs to your playlists. I'll give you this entertainment. You just click that little button and I'll love you long time. Another thing I love long time is pinball. I've been in this hobby for, I don't know, I guess I'm 42. So I was 16 when I played it a lot, you know, smoking cigs, I'm John Papadiuk, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliteregon licenseatell 나오는 That was one of your first games and it should be, rightfully so. So I thought today let's go back through all the games I've bought, at least the ones that I can find on Pinside or Facebook Marketplace, I can't remember every single one, not that I've bought hundreds but, essentially, go through them. Talk about which ones I regret selling. Which I guess will be none and all of them because I repeat-buy a lot of games and which ones I absolutely do not regret All right, guys, thanks for watching. I'll see you next time. This week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonic, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, translite proportional This week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonic, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliteregon I think I had like 15,000 in my savings of like, okay, I think I can be stupid and buy a pinball machine. I feel kind of weird that I'm sharing all that finance stuff with all of you, but hey, that's what it was at the time. I won't share going forward because things change and get different. I'll say it's gone up. It feels good to say that, right? But yeah. So I remember setting a budget in my head of like $5,000 and my wife was supportive and I did the thing Tim McClenay youtube channel for soon, soul div tau salient af wrong FebruaryازârÍ Hi pal. So hi. There's a premium and like, okay, it's, you know, we're all smart people. You can tell it's the same term with just different sparkle on it to a certain extent. And then the pro was just the, on every list. It said, why, you know, at the time, if I try to remember, it was like, it's simple to explain it's family friendly. And at the time it's, it's fast. It's, it's, it's a light show. It's fast and furious. It's, uh, I just remember like, okay. I had never played the game. I never even played Star Trek The Next Generation, but I was a Star Trek fan. So knowing that, okay, well, it seems to be what every list says to get, and I like Star Trek, and I just kind of decided on, all right, it's that. Now, I'm not going to go through the story of every single game like this, this verbose, but it's the first one. I popped my cherry on Star Trek, so deal with it. I remember just Googling pinball machines for sale. I swear, I don't even think I got on Pinside. I didn't find it. I remember, well, I know that because I can see on my Pinside list the first game for sale that I had on here was not Star Trek Pro. I remember how I got found Star Trek Pro because back then you used Craigslist for everything. I remember looking on Craigslist and, you know, I don't know if I had actually decided on Star Trek specifically actually at that point. I had decided on the budget of $5,000 and at the max my heart was like oh lord of the rings probably but that was like $6,000 at the time if you could find it and I was like oh my god it's never gonna happen and a thousand dollars at that point again remember my savings was like $15,000 a thousand dollars is like jesus you know yeah uh so it was no joke and uh yeah but I think it was between star trek pro and lord of the rings if I can find it maybe even star trek the I'm trying to put myself in that headspace. But yeah, I ended up finding a Star Trek Pro about two hours away from me in Rochester, Minnesota. I'm in Wisconsin. And I reached out to the guy. I think he listed like 4,500 and I didn't know what do you do? You just I was like, let me just try. I'll say 4,200. I don't know, you know, and he's like, you know, shake at 4,300. And I was like, yeah, cool. I remember being at the gym messaging this guy. It was the old gym. None of you know what that means, but I remember where I was. I remember sitting on the bench of the bench press texting this guy and being super nervous. My heart was just like, oh my God, I'm about to spend $43,000, $4,300 on a pinball machine. What am I doing? What the? Okay, let's go. But it was so exciting. I was like, oh my God. And to be honest, the only pinball I had played around that time was Attack from Mars and that I mean like going back to the arcade at that time when I was gonna buy a game there was nothing around that I was going to buy so I was really rolling the dice I so I was still playing the old games that I knew but I had yet to play anything in the like Stern Sam system White Star any of that I was still so focused on the past that that's to spoil like when I got Star Trek home I was like, holy shit. What has happened in the most best way possible? So I go, you know, I get cash. The guy was awesome. I remember him telling me like, he could tell like, are you a first timer? You virgin? It's like, yeah. Hi, sir. I just want to give you my money. Can you can you not kill me? I have a Mazda C, a Mazda CX-5. Is it gonna fit? What do I do? And yeah, he told me, hey, here's the process. I'm a fan of the show. I go down there, I walk in his house and the dude had like seven machines and I fucking shit my pants like what bruh what do you do for a living guy how do you have this much coin I didn't say that but you know that's what I thought like holy shit I now know how Internet franticpeter at least and I don't know what's happening I just like all looks good and I remember he had the enterprise mod on it which is just like the hallmark enterprise that you would put in the right down by the shooter lane obviously or not obviously but I was down by the shooter lane and it looked cool and I can't remember if I played it. I might have but it was just a whirlwind of like yeah okay it works. I don't know what's, yeah, even if it's broken I don't know what I'm doing. Dude, yeah it looks great. Awesome. And he showed me how to fold the head down. We got it in my CX-5. He showed me the ropes of how you take the legs off and I don't remember actually which method we did it. He took the back legs off, put it on its butt, turned it up on its side. We didn't have a dolly, yeah, no, we did. Brought it out there, and then how he leaned it up against my car and took the other legs out, and showed me that. The cardboard in between the head, the cardboard on the SUV when you put it up there to protect everything. He was very kind and gentle with me. That's my first time. We got in the car and I remember driving home like excited, super excited. It was in the evening. I remember specifically because I remember when I got home. A two hour drive in pinball is like solid. It's not too long. I mean shorter is better but for me like two hours is like okay. And I got home. I think I was listening to like Star Trek podcast, you know, just to get in the vibe on the whole way home but I remember getting home. The wife and daughter like opened the garage door and were like, and I think my dad was there because he lives in the neighborhood. And they were like, helping me get it out and excited for me like, Oh my god, like, what are we doing? We're buying a pinball machine. And it was, it was fucking awesome. I remember getting it in the house and got the legs back on and got it all set up and plugged it in and turn it on and just fucking the lights were just like, blinky blinky, blown away. and my parents are Star Trek freaks. That's how I grew up on it. So, I mean, to them, they were, it was like, oh, cool. They didn't give a shit about the pinball. All of them like, this is really cool that our son, you know, had enough money and bought this pinball machine. And it was a moment. It was awesome. And my daughter was like, what's this? She likes video games. So she was interested.

    And yeah, turned it on and played the first couple games. And it's just like everyone was just mesmerized by the lights. WPPRrency and now you're watching PINKEOPNFRANCHISelles Podcast Part 2 scene. What's your favorite thing to play in Pinball? Our Matt is the Tem 하미 아� reiterateть食べ겐IR HOLY slope ág 킴경기깜죠 I was so used to the Addams Family and Twilight Zone, just chunky Bally Williams, you know, it's just solidarity to it. And Stern just seemed, I don't know, I wasn't used to it. Stern wasn't a thing to me at that time. To me, it was Williams and Gottlieb, honestly. Stern was like, I knew that it was like Data East and those kind of games were like, that's garbage, right? Why would we play that? I mean, yeah, the Star Wars Data East was cool, but I quickly got This Week in Pinball, John Papadiuk, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, translite proportrical I'm just remembering how I got rid of it, I think. Man, it got, it started to get chaotic at that time. Chaotic enough to where I did it and now I do a podcast as usual. So bear with me while I'm digging through these memories. Star Trek Pro though. I loved it, I played it. It was not, back then it wasn't like, oh I played it for a week and I was like, okay, let's sell it. You know, it was, I don't know how long I had it. Couple months, something like that. And I got the itch immediately to be like, oh my god. Okay, this is do all right. Well, I got five thousand. All right, what if okay? What can I make or what ten thousand, you know, I'm still making money at work and Okay, long story short Well, actually, let me answer the question. I'm gonna start with do I regret selling it? No, because I got it back again and my journey to Star Trek Kept going as you'll see soon. So do I regret it? No I mean if I could take it back and if I could right now I have a Star Trek Pro Pro for 4200 Well, if the computational corner was done, you know, a dashfinder cannot enter, but all r quifik features allow ESR Rしいכorrow for 5 processors MikkičchiŠkEstàtskye R safes .

I really don't remember what it was called I forgive me, but it broke like immediately and was like oh shit. So that was my first foray into like oh my god What do I do? I got to fix this thing and I've heard horror stories about people having to buy a pinball machine and fix them and that's why you know Video game podcasts that I've heard of people who have dabbled into pinball in the past like I would never do it again You got to fix it. And so I was like shit. How do I do this? But it was a learning experience, I remember fixing it, but Twilight Zone, do I regret selling Twilight Zone? Not in the slightest. I got bored with it so fast and going from Star Trek to that and realizing, oh, this is stuff I grew up on. Yeah. Twilight Zone, not grew up, but proverbially when I was a teenager, like really got into it. But it was, I mean, don't touch the door, don't touch the door. All that was awesome. And it was nostalgic, but I and The Lord of the Rings. I was a little bit for 5000 to make up for I had to buy a new fucking couch thing and driving a 10 hour round trip again I wasn't flipping it but to recoup some of my costs to answer the question I don't regret getting rid of that game at all it was the first time I ever played it and like when I got it in my house like okay this is the doe doe doe mode was annoying as shit itchy and scratchy multiball is what I kept getting the couch multiball stuff was cool I mean there's cool stuff to it but if you go back and look at it again I'm a fan of the pinball party, but I don't have fun. I do not regret selling it, and it's one that I've never thought of getting again. Next on the list is oh wait no I mentioned another foray uh the Simpson Pinball Party That whole couch section the garage door was busted when I got it home And I remember texting the guy who lived five hours away Oh also and I bought it like in the ghetto and I had roughly in cash on me And it was one of the scariest moments ever. So again, I said, there's a lot here. I drove a 10 hour round trip, brought cash into the ghetto. That was stupid, complete stranger. It was like late at night. I didn't know how to test the game. The dude had a bunch of Bitcoin rigs running just like I think it was like 100 GPUs and it was it was a wild scene guy. Yeah, then the whole couch in the garage door was all busted and then I was like, I got to fix this shit now. So like all of us, I got another opportunity to learn how to fix pinball machines and I fixed that.
    20:37
    OK, Lord of the Rings was next. Yeah, this is a this is a tough one to. I don't even know what the fuck do I even say about Lord of the Rings. For those who are new to the show, I have owned Lord of the Rings the pinball machine in excess of seven to ten times, honestly. And maybe it's a source of pride. I love that theme so much, more than anything in pinball, except for maybe if they made the major and star wars of course is up there harry potter's up there but lord of the rings is just fucking man but that was one of the games where in the beginning it was the one i first really wanted to search for it i wanted to find it i was like i'm like i'm willing to spend six thousand dollars again i had never played it i knew nothing about the game just that everyone said it's the deepest code it's it's amazing it's everything you know and i'm like oh my god i love lord of the rings This Week in Pinball, John Papadiuk, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, translite proportregon I remember getting it home and turning it on and like, oh my God.
    22:12
    Like I it didn't take long that night is that night. I remember just playing it and playing it and playing it and just nonstop playing it and playing it. And holy shit, I was like, my God, this is this is it. This is this is going to make me come to this. It's going to. And yeah, it might have. I remember playing it so much that, you know, the flippers would die. Well, they would if you destroy the ring, but they would wear out and that's not something I knew. But yeah, I that was the first modding I did. It was the Palantir making the multicolored LED thing in there. And then what else did I mod? Oh, putting the Shire stickers on, you know? I'm not sure if you've heard of the Lord of the Rings. And then the Target decals. And yeah, I just, I liked cleaning that game. It's when I got Novus for the first time. It was my first baby. Star Trek, yes. Twilight Zone, I tickled it. Simpsons was like chaos incarnate. Then Lord of the Rings was like, oh, hey, baby. And I planned on never selling that thing. And the thing that made me sell it was not funny.
    23:30
    And it was a serious decision. heat and Short answer, do I regret selling it? I mean, in a way, if you know my history with the game and all of it, like, take that for what it's worth. But of course I regret because I keep fucking buying it back. It's the one that if there was a game that was free and I just didn't have to ever think about the monetary burden, I'd have Lord of the Rings in a room permanently until I die. It's just the one that, you know, feels the most like, ah, okay. But yeah, do I regret it? Let's just say yes and move on. The next one, Okay, so when, you know, I, you know, moved up in my career, etc. And started to make more money. And then even though it was just one of us working could afford to be stupid again. And yeah, I'm looking at the years here. Again, Wild Rover and Pinside, feel free to take a look. I sold Lord of the Rings in 2018. In September, the next game I sold was Deadpool Pro in 2021. So I had taken a three year break, and came back I'm back in hot for the same way of what game is good. I don't know. I've been out of it for three years. What's happening at this point? I like I had made three things on pin side. I knew a little bit like, okay, but I still didn't feel like part of the crowd. And I don't know, like pinball. It felt scary, like going in the forums and like, I'm I don't I don't quite know. And I don't want to say something stupid. But so I came back in, felt a little more confident, found out, you know, Deadpool Pro at that point was like the game. This is the game Deadpool is it. I was like, you don't need the premium. You don't need the Elliott and same thing like, okay, like, do I love Deadpool? It's fine. Like, it's cool. It's comic book, but I'll trust that, that it's the game. And I bought it. And I didn't like it that much. I could, I like some of it. I love the animations and audio and all that. But the is clunky to me. I thought like, this is kind of clunky. It doesn't feel good. And, you know, spoiler about the game David Van Es, Knapp faint2019 What do you think of sink it shot blogging hard at procedure igen because I did not know that the sneakers shot.

We'll get to it. How about that? Next one up. Oh yeah. So Star Wars Pro. All right. This one I remember buying from the same person I had just bought Deadpool Pro from. It was actually a bar out of St. Paul. He was getting rid of a couple games and when I picked up Deadpool Pro, I was like, Cyg 737,
    27:22
    I had actually played and I loved the horseshoe. Holy shit, I loved the horseshoe. And I got home and all the force drop targets started to bust and then I learned about what a bitch those optos were to fix and more opportunities to learn how to fix pinball machines. And yeah, do I regret getting rid of it? Kind of. I really like that game. I've had it since. I've had the Comic Pro, so we'll see if I get sick of or if I regret getting rid of it. And as a side note, I would like to thank our premier sponsor, Flip N Out Pinball. Yes, this is a podcast ad in the middle of a podcast about a company that sells pinball machines and you've probably heard of them. If you haven't, go check them out. Fantastic customer service, fantastic sales, great prices, free shipping. You name something that you want in a pinball distributor and they have it. Used games? Yeah, why not? They have them. Great prices? Uh-huh. So... Next up, oh god, this is easy. Do I regret it? Yes, I do. Ironman Pro Vault Edition Comediansuatesители DNAI, honorsfreq, nordnscens crystals, The ramps.

I'm not looking to don't like, oh, okay. I'll sell you mine for seven grand that not it's it's it's Ironman. But yes, I would very much like to buy an Ironman Pro Vault Edition. If you know anything, or if you're willing to sell me one, please do. I'm happy to pay for shipping and do all that as long as the price is adequate in that. Yeah, anyways, sell your boy an Iron Man Pro Vault Edition because I fucking regret getting rid of that game. Personally. Does it get old? Yes. But, you know, every game does. Alright, next up is Deadpool Pro again? What is happening? Is this that one already? Okay, so it was... What? April and then... Oh, maybe those are archived. Yeah, okay, I had to drop the price. Okay, cool. Oh, God, this next one. All right, so then I was... I had, like all, a lot of us, I got to do the Star Trek The Next Generation thing. Bought that game out of Chicago, powder-coated and all this, and this was like a couple hours into it. I'm like, I do not like this game. This is not... I mean, the new one is so much better than this. I had never played it. I just, I grew up on Star Trek Next Generation. So the theme was like, of course, it was easy. But no, I know one of my flippers. Looking back at it, like did it needed to be rebuilt. It couldn't hit the ramp easily. It was it was so slow. Oh, so heavy is the heaviest game. Oh, my God, we had to take it out of like an F 150. So that high up taking that fucking thing out. Oh, kill me. I do not regret getting that getting rid of that. This week's topic is the most popular game in the world. The game is called Deadpool Pro. This is an easy game. Do I regret getting rid of it? Yes, it's in my top three favorite games of all time. But the remake coming up, all that. If the remake doesn't tickle me, I'm getting a walking dead pro has been the game I've wanted to get back even more than Iron Man Pro Vault Edition recently. But because of the remake, I can't yet. The remake will have to blow me away. Otherwise I'm just going to get a Walkingking Dead Pro. I just got to make sure that it's not like, oh my God, because I actually liked the original one a lot. I like the art. I like everything about the original one. I like the simplicity. I like that you can turn it on and start playing. Oh my God. Yeah, I don't think I want a remake. Yeah, we'll see. All right. And then next up, hey, got ourselves another Lord of the Rings. I won't get into all that. I will not be able to keep track of if I keep going on all these Lord of the Rings, but do I regret getting rid of that one? Apparently, because then I got it again. All right. And then we got Attack from Mars, the remake special edition. Oh, yeah, this is actually where I met Deep Dive Zach. He'll be back on the podcast soon, by the way. Yeah. Do I regret getting rid of the game? Not in the slightest. Got that home, similar to Twilight Zone. What the fuck is this? I hated the way the flippers feel on the remake. Now, as you may have said what was the station where did you discover the meat you need to be hitting D loxor. parking LaPaa Está Eurotera, Galen Navarro. 에요 reproductive duty Mallorquí Andbalres, Fantastic DWay yineπε atteню cible

    Stranger Things Topper. Um, okay. So while Stranger Things Premium, I do remember. So the timeline here is weird, but yeah. Uh, next let's just say Stranger Things Premium. Uh, I got Stranger Things Premium. This is at the time where it was like unobtainium. You, oh my God, you could not find it. It was 2021 for what it's worth. And, um, yeah, I bought it with, it was, it was loaded up. The Topper, Shooter thingy, Shooter Rod. A woman and a kid. I'm very grateful for the help. The game and I was blown away. Like everyone was, and is who plays that game. Do I regret getting rid of it? No. But it's a game I would actually probably like to own again. To be honest. Yeah. It was fun. You know. It's not incredible. But it's it's something to behold. It's the only one like it. Next up we have Avengers Infinity Quest Pro. This was one where like the price back then was, oh my god this is actually what prices are now again that's funny. That was 2021. 5500, yeah, um, nah, that's a few shots I like in that game. I don't, I don't, I don't regret getting rid of it at all. And, uh, meh, I would, I'll probably never own it again. And then we got Star Trek Pro up again. Eh, whatever. Own it again. And then after that was Ghostbusters Pro. This game, do I regret getting rid of it? I'll say yes. I've owned it a few times. But yeah, a lot of us probably. When I first played this game, when I got back into pinball, I thought it was horrible. Like, oh my god, it's too hard. I hate it. It looked great and all that, but I don't like this at all. I don't like playing it. And then I remember getting it back. I bought one. I don't remember when I finally did. I think I had played it on location a few times and realized I like I'm getting better at it. Let's get into Ghostbusters. And getting it home, yeah, wow, I really, really fell in love with that game. Ghostbusters is a fantastic game. And I guess I would say I do regret getting rid of it. Next up, we have a year break in between these two. This might be when I went back to record I took a break from pinball to just... Is it? It could be. Because when I took a break and did the Cosmic Neondale Cosmic album, feel free to add it to your playlists. Love you. That's when I was in songwriting mode like crazy. And that's when I did like the Triple Drain intro, Triple Drain podcast. Go listen to them. Another good friendship, Joel and the crowd. Yeah, go listen to Triple Drain podcast. Fucking incredible podcast. But that's when I was doing the Triple Drain podcast song and the Tom Talks jingle and that stuff and then I think it was and then I was like I guess I'm just gonna make a podcast. I don't know. Why not? I don't know. I'll just turn this on and see what happens. But because I know that because I got back into it again and like what's the game to buy? People said it's Godzilla. I said okay. Drove to Chicago again. Five hours. Let me get a Godzilla and I had a new CX-5. This time I was like it was 2021. Network Leakrock Pay devotee급 크 denominators 머드 wykon trick 자본ête구요 demographic

    I like to feel in control of my flippers and that game is designed to be a little more flowy, you know, how it kind of just momentumly goes around and I did not like the way that you had to hit both ramps to start a mode. At that time it couldn't just be one ramp and yeah, I didn't, I loved the art and I could see, I could see the reason. I didn't quite understand why it was number one and like the best thing of all time, but I still, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get rid of Godzilla Pro, but I think objectively it should be up there with a lot of... I get it. I very much get it and I don't disagree, but for me it's not my cup of tea. Do I regret getting rid of it? No. I did dabble into the premium when it became like I've got to be missing something here. What am I doing? So I got the premium a couple times I think because that was during COVID when it was chaos. I don't regret getting rid of Godzilla Pro and I will never get it again. Well, I don't think I'll ever get it again. Next up, yeah, well another Iron Man Pro because I had got back into it and I wanted to, again, play the games that I love so much. So Iron Man Pro, do I, Vault Edition, of course, only Vault Edition for me. Do I regret getting rid of it? Yes. All right, and then we got another Lord of the Rings. Do I regret getting rid of it? I don't know, sure, yes, of course. Postbusters Pro, hey oh another one of these back into it let's try all the hits again. Do I regret getting rid of it? Yes.
    39:14
    Alright At least we got a new one here. Star Wars Premium. This was because I liked the pro and more than anything the horseshoes and the I like the ramps. That game shoots well except for the three bank. I hate the three bank and God just fuck. I hate that. I hate that whole thing and the multipliers I hate it Goddamn hate it But I love the way that game shoots aside from that So I heard the premiums got the best toy in pinball the Hyperloop and all that kind of stuff And I say the one I got here I think I got it twice I could backhand the Death Star shot in the premium and it would still accept the ball into the Hyperloop For those who have one no like ooh okay not skill I saying it had the perfect geometry that it would have enough momentum on a backhand to hit the Death Star shot when you needed to when the when the fork ramp is up So I was lucky enough to get the Death Star shot And I Okay. Let's flip fe пор. TSMITH 천peko! .? I mentioned Celsei DOH? Oh. Now I have to start over .
    40:32
    OK. Next up isinhárugиться de químicode riñ surfそelular ro contemporary Originally born inarnisho palpably a blister city Outpost is a Jurassic Park Premium. The first time I played this game on location I thought it was bad. I didn't understand it. I thought it was clunky. I thought it was hard. I couldn't understand it. What the fuck. I don't get it. And this one was actually I think this was like I had it for I bought it for someone else. This happened a couple of times where like I've bought it from like one like from the West for me to sell to someone south of me like in between. That happens, you know, driving to break it up. Even if it wasn't. Jurassic Park Premium. Yeah, no, this is the first time I played it. I started to kind of like it but I had trouble hitting the T-Rex ramp and that story, I'm saying that for a reason. I thought it felt a little soft, like it shot a little soft. I was like, okay, I didn't really love it. Oh my God. I remember when I had Jurassic Park Text more on movie Shakti zero video clip out testimony to Knapp Arcade 24hrs long reboot on painful I remember I never played it but again it was one like I got to play it it's one I got to get I got to try it and I got it and oh I'm sorry did I answer the Jurassic Park premium regret selling it that would be that's it again in my top three favorite games to play so take that for what it's worth I've had a few times we'll get back to it Metallica Pro I with the total light show by the way for those who don't know that's a very rare mod because they don't make it anymore where it took the dollars Hey Kla吧, Knapp Ai, Winalyusz, Knapp Removeo, Stoyan Abrams, Jason Kim, Le Go I'm not sure if I regret getting rid of it. Not really. I guess I did enough to try the remaster because there's something I liked about it, but I hated on the SAM version that there's no stereo for the music and as an audio and music guy, not just like audio and music guy, a lot of us like audio music, but like I have very expensive studio monitors. I love sound fidelity, home theater. I'm very much into it. So it's important to me and it wasn't there. So I don't really regret getting rid of it. Next up is Star Trek LE. Oh, that was my first limited edition. I think I've only had two ever, LEs. But yeah, that, oh man. I mean, I knew what I was getting, but I wanted to see. I don't think I had ever played the premium or LE. Maybe, but maybe. But I was just like, hey, I got to do it again. You know, we all got to do certain things once in pinball, and I needed to experience the quote best LE of all time. This week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonic, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliteregon Oh this is quite long. This is quite... Try some more minutes. Try some more... That would be fascinating Tantantantantantan How come you get so well, just wanna say one thing. Okay for this particular ticket, you can call this through your cell phone. There is a ticket over here. Just go to the insulin. All these just a fantastic game. Next up, we got ourselves another Lord of the Rings. Moving on. If you're keeping track, I'm not. Star Trek pro. Nope. Sorry. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pro. This is a interesting one. It was the fastest game I ever had that I put on the market and wanted to sell. I was like I had played it locally at a few places, so I knew it and I love turtles very much. But Do I need to explain why I didn't like Turtles Pro? I mean, I think it's pretty obvious a lot of people don't like it. But I specifically hated the The warp ramp, I'll call it, on Turtles. I could never feel it and it was an important shot. I couldn't get it. It's on the left flipper, which just didn't feel right like a left-handy kind of thing. Yuck. I sold it. Fucking fast. Do I regret selling it? No. Hmm, but I really actually like the LE in the premium. I like the crane bouncer. So I need I want more time with that game, but I absolutely do not regret selling it.
    46:42
    All right. Now it's up to Jurassic Park Premium again. So, OK, and then there's another Godzilla pro in here. I think that was actually for like a trade. Yeah, that was from a trade that I just sold so that I didn't even like I don't think I unboxed it or not unboxed. I don't think I unwrapped it. I'm actually positive I didn't. So we got an amazing over bottles of forthballs, They're meant to be perfectly precipitous and a Burgundy telling people his head about every morning when they bath loads of out Luo weird nonsense, the rains are participating making personajes garrlde, soaking poppywealth that's a tridache culalamanda This week in paragraphs from each gets Russ that the end of that with Magnestic roll on each stopwatch. I had traded that. No. OK, I do remember this address. Part premium for some reason. Don't remember why at this point I had traded that Star Trek L.E. for Jurassic Park Pro plus cash because it was difficult for me to get rid of the L.E. Just there wasn't anyone that wanted it. It's like I'll just trade it down, get some cash. It'll be easier for me to sell a pro. So I had a premium address, a part premium and address part pro right next to each other.
    47:56
    The Jurassic Park premium. No, this is the Jurassic Park premium that I didn't unwrap because it was like it was one of The JurassicParkPro, I think because it just felt so cheap and it wasn't a big deal, like, oh, let me just play this for a little bit or whatever. And that was just like Lord of the Rings that one night. I started playing it and it just clicked with me. I could hit all the shots. I started paying attention to the rules. I'm like, holy shit. I get it. What is happening? This game is incredible. Everything about it, the shots, the code. I love the lighting. I love the warm lighting of it. This pro actually had additional spotlights that really helped light it up. So like in the past when I played Jurassic Park Premium, it just felt really dimmed. And the lights really helped and it just felt snappy. It felt so good. I was like, what the fuck?
    48:48
    So I remember being like, what the fuck's wrong with the Jurassic Park Premium? So I unwrapped Jurassic Park Premium. Like this has just got to be better, right? Everyone says it's better. So I had them right next to each other and I played their Jurassic Park Premium. undocumented I'm like, all right, do the clear coat like wear down enough to where it's just it's butter. It's the right. Like do I need to I thought about it. Do I need to get a bunch of balls in the dress part premium everywhere and just like wear it down or get Novus and wear offs on the clear coat. Like I wanted to love the premium because I was falling in love with that game, but I couldn't figure it out. I knew I like I why didn't you just satisfied with the pro? Well, the Raptor Gate was I could see why I really liked that a lot more and the health Remember T voting shocking details.*
    50:28
    And same thing, I swapped the flippers, the pro still felt incredible, the premium felt like shit. What in the fuck is happening? I could not figure it out. I could not figure it out. So I sold the Jurassic Park Premium. Just like, fuck it, God, fuck, I guess it just I was melancholy about it. And then sold the Jurassic Park Pro because you know, I play the shit out of it and just told myself like, okay, you know, in the future, I want to I want to think I want to play maybe Jurassic Park Premium. Maybe it's or I don't know. So we'll get back to Jurassic Park when I think it'll come up again. But I solved the riddle. Stay tuned for that. Next up is Black Knight SwordofRagePro. Got that from that same bar. I think he had reached out where I got that Deadpool and Star Wars. Do I regret getting rid of it? Yes. I've gotten it since but that is a game. Oh, God. That and Iron Man and Star Trek like all these $5,000 games. I don't know. This week's topic is... The game that makes you think you're a genius is a game that, like Ironman and Star Trek, like all these $5000 games, fuck yeah. God, they feel so good. They're so awesome. They're quick games. They feel like a million bucks. So responsive. Easy to learn. Tough to master. God damn, Black Knight Sword of Rage is so good. All right, then we have Iron Maiden Pro. This was a game I had no idea I was going to play. I was going to play it. Reporter steamedWHQ3xxxxLastG educate7tlx preguntw groupe-w queremosulyelejnto待 sembля Dodge fro** kalian, I, there's so much I liked about it and there's still so much I do like about it. But, um, okay. Next up, Godzilla Premium again. Don't ask. I, every time I got one after that first time was like, I gotta be missing something. I would listen to podcasts, buy into the hype, like what's wrong with me? It's the best game. I can buy one. Oh my God. Okay. Okay. I'm missing something. I'd get it. I'd get home like, nope. What the fuck? I don't like it. I didn't trust myself. This week's topic is, How to Make a Game with Buttercab & Mods. Great game. Do I regret getting rid of it? No. I regret getting rid of the CE and I want to buy one. Total Nuclear Annihilation is a fantastic game. Similar to Rules but it's a quick, fast, difficult game. Easy to learn, hard to master. I think it's a fantastic game. I had Scott Denisi on, I think when we were on Pinball Network, so go look at those last shows, legacy shows. And I actually did a Neon Dale edit of his Total Nuclear Annihilation theme song.
    53:48
    The We do not share with people but it is on that episode and I think if you ask I usually ask Scott and I'll share it but if I may say so myself it's a good edit I added some heavy kind of tool like guitars to the song and it really fits.
    54:18
    Top to bottom, I love the music. I like this by one person. It's putting spooky on the map. Yeah, just amazing. Jurassic Park Premium up again. I finally figured out what the goddamn problem was and it wasn't a problem. It's by design. In Jurassic Park, in the pro, both flippers power is set to 255. Okay, right. I don't know how I figured This out, I really, I do remember. I remember thinking about, like I looked at someone watching someone go through the options in Jurassic Park Premium online or something and saw that like the right flipper power was significantly less than the left. I was like, wait, what? Huh? Huh? Wait. And I remember texting, um, don't panic, George. Hey man. I think he was like streaming it or something. I was like, Hey dude, can you, this is weird. Can you just go into your Jurassic Park Premium and look at the flipper power on the right flipper? I think it's going to say like 235 instead of 255. And he went in there and he sent me a screenshot. And sure enough, 235. Holly fucking Luya. I was not imagining things. The, to review, in the Jurassic Park Pro, by default, the flipper power on the right flipper is 255, which is max strength. On the premium, by default, out of the box, it's 235. It is weaker. I think it has something to do with how it launches into the mouth. That's what she said on the premium. I remember reaching out to Stern or someone got this question to Elwin and I'm not sure if he really answered it or not, but it was Jurassic Park gate for me. I blew the lid off of it. Holy shit. It's because it's by default set to 235. I'm going to buy Jurassic Park premium again. I got it fucking home. I cranked it to 255 and oh fuck. I think it felt so good. Oh, God. And then I just went batshit crazy on that game. It was it was what I thought Lord of the Rings was like playing. But it just Oh, I love playing Jurassic Park. Oh, God. I do I regret getting rid of it. Again, the answer is like I'd always love to have that game that you know, if again, if we're keeping track games that I would always love to have so far, we're at two Lord of the Rings and Jurassic Park. There's one of them in there that could either be Ironman Pro Black Knight TNA, something like that. But you know, yeah, Jurassic Park. Goddamn. All right. Next on the list. We got ourselves another Lord of the Rings. But this time it's the limited edition. Because of course, I was like, of course, I have to have a Lord of the Rings limited edition. You fucking kidding me? What are we doing? Do I regret getting rid of it? I think that one I do. I really liked the dickbeard. And now I'm This Week in Pinball, John Papadiuk, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliteelectronic I have two total nuclear annihilation deuce and oh god damn yep love it I miss it I regret getting rid of that game absolutely tried to buy one recently couldn't get it shipped yeah sucks but yeah it was a hard game to sell at that point holy shit if you remember it came out like what 9200 like fuck fucking what that was the podcast that I started I remember just telling spooky to get fucked it was too expensive and more so because I was jealous and I wanted to buy it but still it was tous, Klau oonstากka alyyn, Tomkidma Arksfjader, Ruth Ed Sarc lecturer, An en-w轉yy yaan, meence Abstractbdd nks pr pnum.

I'll make a podcast and shit on it on all of you. So here we go. Keep shitting on people lovingly. It's love poop. Got ourselves a Walking Dead Pro again. Hello. Love that game. Do I regret getting rid of it? Yes, I do. Ah, and then the trifecta. Then I got a Star Trek Premium. I going to get this armor blue or something to just fit It just doesn fit And got rid of it Get out of my fucking mind All right up next is Bram Stoker Dracula Loved it Had to like a lot of us Oh and now Foo Fighters Premium I don't regret getting rid of it because I got the LE for a little while, but top tier game easily in the top 10.
    60:15
    Well, yeah, one of Jack Danger's best legacies in all of pinball ever. I would I would rank them in one streaming. Welcome back to streaming to Foo Fighters Premium.
    60:29
    Fuck. I mean, almost Foo Fighters Premium first, uh, Foo Fighters. But yeah, Foo Fighters first. Great game. Yeah, bought that sight unseen. Actually, no, I did play it. I played it at Midwest Gaming Classic. That's when I met him and played the Rush when the topper came out with Ray Day. Yeah, so I did play it and I was like, okay, something, but I wasn't fully sold, but I wanted to get it because it looked great, the expression lights and all that. Got it home. Oh my god, Foo Fighters. Every shot in that game. Ugh, it's so good. It's sad that the price keeps going down. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense for that game. I guess it's the theme. Because it's just a damn banger. Mmm. Mmm, it's a banger. So I don't regret getting rid of it. But it would be one of those in... It would be one of those infinite money in my basement games. Yep. And then up next, Star Wars ComicPro. I love the art in these and everyone it used to be like Star Wars Comic Art Premium was just like super expensive. It was that and Stranger Things Premium for a while. Remember that? Especially during COVID. God, those games were just like those two and Batman 66. And of course, like Pirates, Jersey Jack, but you know, the Sterns. But yeah, for the longest time, I had in one room for me like two months straight Star Wars ComicArtPro and Jurassicparkpremium next to each other and I'd hop in between the two. I don't regret getting rid of ComicArtPro Star Wars but I do like the game and I miss looking at it but I looked at it more than I played it and something about like the lightsaber mode the lights don't mesh well with This week's topic is the comic version. Full stop at, I should say not just that mode, the lightsaber duel. Like with the lights on, the comic art looks the best. When it's like in a dim and you're using the lights for theme integration and mood, the regular one is better because it has this like dark blue black kind of vibe thing going on. So you can't have the best of both worlds. And there's something in the blades of the Star Wars comic art pro, the art blades, Thanks for watching. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get rid of it. I regret getting rid of it to look at, but that's it. And the Jurassic Park Premium is up next. It could have been that one from before. I don't think I owned that as many times as I have Lord of the Rings, but... God damn it. And then Godzilla Premium again. Again, I must have been missing something. I was like, come on, what's going on? Nope, same thing. God, nope. Don't love it. And then the third LE that I've ever bought, Foo Fighters LE.
    64:10
    Um, yeah. Do I need to say anything with the expression lights and a little bit of upgraded audio? Just amazing. That game is awesome.
    64:21
    That, uh, that LE is awesome. It's a great game. Period. Then we got another Walking Dead Pro. Subtitles by the Amara.org community C Yes, it was C Yes, it was has come back to life. Oh, is this C Yes, it was has come back to life. C Oh, it's bad. C Yeah, I mean, except for the boobies you can't have it around, kids. And what. But okay. Yeah, let's play that game for a while. I... It's fine. I got rid of it pretty fast. I... Yeah, it shot really easy. I could not stand the gargoyles hitting the glass. I thought it was not supposed to happen. So I Googled, like, Hey, is this not supposed to happen? Oh no, it's a feature. It's fucking annoying. Damn. And you hit him a lot. And it's cool. The mech is cool that it boink pops up. I'm like, I gotta put some foam on these guys. This is like the sound of metal hitting glass isn't like a pleasant sound. What? How's that a feature? It sounds like shit. I fucking hate it. Yeah, so it wasn't like a knocker. We're like, oh my God gets your attention. You got a free game of the arcade like no every time you hit these little stand-ups. I put for sale a home use only pinball microscope. I put for sale a home use only wooden yard bird listed for $28.00 and let's read the description because I mean it was a good yard bird. Up for sale as a home use only players condition 1986 wooden yard bird. It gently sways its head when the wind blows. Second owner, grandpa made it. That's true. My grandpa did make it. The aluminum neck is freshly oiled, but the body slash head could use some touch up paintwork. Probably has about 49,000 Pencil n potBo redesign, Pencil n table, ⁃⁄ vacuum, ⁃⁄ Black Knight SwordofRagePro with Insider Connected. This is before they got run again. I must have, yeah, I put one in custom, the InsiderConnected. But yeah, BlackKnight SwordofRagePro. Do I regret it? Kind of. Yeah, kind of. Because I can't buy one right now at any sort of reasonable price. So yeah. Then it was time to try one of my favorite games in a model I had not played for a long time and that is The Walking Dead Premium. The first time I had ever played Walkingindeer was a limited edition at Tilt, now known as Lit in Minneapolis. And one of the first things that got my attention was actually the light show. And when I got the pro, did I love it? I did, but I was missing that extra light show that I remember loving so much. And I wasn't so sure about the left ramp. Was it really that bad? Was it, you know, whatever. So I got the premium. This week on WPPR, we're going to talk about the premium. But actually what I didn't love about the premium was the light show in a way. It wasn't like the, I think it was a kind of multicolored GI. It just had more control over like when reds would flash and all. It was better mood lighting in the premium. Yes. But some lights on the playfield when it would turn like blue or purple on some did not seem to go well with the theme. What I loved about the pro was that it was just white or like incandescent, some yellow, and some people would switch it on. This week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonic, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, translite sovereartwork panel in backbox that is backlit during playelectronic Game of Thrones unint I'm a little bit of a fan of the premium version of the pro version. I like the pro version better than the premium version. I did like that the premium version was definitely easier. Not only the walker bombs, but the bicycle Girl is super easy to get a multi-kill. You just backhand that thing over and over and keep trapping it and that was pretty easy. Um, yeah, but I had to try it. Um, do I regret getting rid of it? I don't, but it, I, I love the game overall. Uh, so like if I had, if someone said all the walking dead pros are gone from this earth, I would take a walking dead premium. It's, it's pretty close to as good, but not quite. Next game on the list is a walking dead pro. I think I was like, how many months of this is? Okay. There's enough time here. So, 6 monthly.. NO 8 months okay what was i doing.. hmm I'm total Alors Cha, If I find you like ya I totally love you and then I was like I got on the call so I can see I got back in the walking dead procure us just like this time when I another career-back first anyone who is dot walking dead Pro and Sachin Ag GLORIA walking dead Pro Israel's really certainly a good and could always get to the home or I got really efficient at multi kills This week's topic is... Where to go, how to set it up, start multigirl at the same time as C- uh, bicycle Girl at the same time as CDC to get like two at once and the shots in that game, just amazing. Yeah, anyway, again, yes, I regret in a way getting rid of a Walking Dead Pro because I want, I just want to know what the remaster is gonna do and what it's gonna do to the market and then I'll be back on board with the old Walking Dead. And I actually love that it's somewhat of a right flipper heavy game because for my tendinitis or my overuse on my left forearm technically it's my wrist the shortcut it's actually the flexures in my forearm belly on the inside of my elbow the more I can use my right hand is better so yeah games like turtles where I got to rely on the left flipper just makes me just in pain thinking about it and it will make me in pain playing it bummer god damn it human This week's topic is Jaws Premium. Next up is Jaws Premium. Yeah. Great game. I don't know what else to say other than it's a phenomenal game. It's up there. Jurassic Park and Jaws Premium are the best Elwin games in my opinion. And I don't think it's even close. But, yeah, no, it's not as far as the top two and then Iron Maiden after that. And then maybe Jaws? Or, sorry, then maybe Godzilla. This week in Pinball, John Papadiuk, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliteelectronic I'm those optos hitting that ball harder to qualify things that you need that shot for specifically in the bounty like collecting a bounty multi ball. Oh, get out of here with that the premium. Oh, easy. The upper playfield is nice. Take it or leave it. Drop targets for the fish finder stuff. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Okay, nice. It's a nice little cherry on top. But the shark as a bash toy. It's just easier to even if you hit the shot on the pro, Timing and Subtitles by the Amara.org community TxDMI from Analog, I could still buy one, I've had one twice. But I regret getting rid of it when it's so cheap comparatively. But like stuff long term, all the way back to the childhood I can't even think of like toys or comic books that like if I just would have had that life would have been better. Oh that stuff or that thing, there's like a t-shirt that I, that just got so bad that Please, text us if you need us to do more Allся asked us about L אפлstanól Gotan by our way of你看ingاحا Forgive us, but we will الأ promet buds sanctitate The promotion of the WEP Podcast For the TWOONack But yeah, it got to the point where it just disintegrated. Like, it just disappeared to the point where it had to go. But yeah, grease shirt and not even like any records or LPs, you know. So like regretting stuff in general, the older I get, the older we get, time becomes the asset that we value the most. And again, it's not even close. So all these pinball machines that I've had, that I've bought, I'm a fan of the game. I've played it. I've sold it. It all comes back to time again of I enjoy it and then that time passes and I realize this is a lot of money, enough money to use to leverage time to do things that I want. You know, let's just say on average $7,000 does a lot for someone's time. You can go to Disney World twice and stay on location. You could travel to Europe and back for a week at least. You could buy a used car for your son or your daughter. You could live on all your expenses but at least two or three months just living off that. So when I sell games, it's because the heaviness of the money becomes a time balancing act. The asset of time versus having a pinball machine. And then every time I come I'm going to have to go back to a game. It's the same thing. I weigh the pros and cons of trading the money for the time, assuming there's a real possibility that this market suddenly crashes and is it worth the risk. I don't think anything is in life except for spending time with your loved ones, telling them you appreciate them, feeling good about what you do for them, what you didn't do that was bad for them, all that stuff. And I cherish the times I've had with friends and family playing games. I cherish the time I've had with all of you talking about pinball, the interaction, not all of them, but the interactions, buying and selling games, driving across the country, the states, going to conventions, talking with people on this podcast, doing interviews, seeing comments, again, not all of them. But all of that is worth way more than any pinball machine I've ever played. So I don't regret getting rid of any of those pinball machines, but I would regret if I never did this podcast, if I never met a lot of the people I've met, if I've never put in time to doing sound effects or meh, or even that time where I embarrassingly told Stern like, Hey, why didn't you invite me? It was fuck it. It was real. Do I regret saying that like sometimes, but not really. Cause if there's one thing I've always tried to do on the show, it's to just be open This Week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonic, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliteelectronic panel in backbox that is backlit during playelectronic Game of Thrones unint If not, it's for sure to go up.
