TL;DR

Walt praises Spooky's Beetlejuice innovation while criticizing Stern's Walking Dead remaster design execution.

Summary

Walt Wood discusses the upcoming Spooky Pinball Beetlejuice release and Stern's Walking Dead remaster. He shares personal meeting experiences with Spooky staff at a recent expo, praises Beetlejuice's interactive voice mechanic (talking back to the player), and expresses frustration with Stern's design choices on Walking Dead including bland side art, questionable color palette, and poor quality dot-matrix homage animations. He speculates that Metallica's superior animations came from an outside graphics team rather than in-house Stern work.

Key Claims

  • Beetlejuice features interactive voice mechanic where the machine talks back to the player after player input

    high confidence · Video demonstration of Beetlejuice showing conversation between player and machine; Walt describes it as revolutionary first-time experience of machine talking back after 30 years of playing

  • Walking Dead remaster uses orange and blue color palette that doesn't fit the franchise compared to original red and black

    high confidence · Walt directly critiques the playfield art color palette multiple times during video analysis

  • Walking Dead animations attempting to homage dot-matrix display look poor quality

    high confidence · Walt watches announcement video and criticizes 3D animated DMD-style graphics as ineffective

  • Metallica Pinball animations were created by outside graphics designer, not in-house Stern team

    low confidence · Walt speculates based on animation quality difference between Metallica and other Stern games; explicitly states 'I don't know for sure'

  • Walking Dead side art uses generic bullet design similar to Star Wars, lacks custom cutting detail from older games like Dungeons & Dragons

    high confidence · Walt compares side armor artwork across multiple Stern games and criticizes generic approach

  • Spooky staff member Bug gave Walt a Zagnut candy bar as Easter egg hint about Beetlejuice before announcement

    high confidence · Walt recounts personal anecdote of receiving candy bar at expo and later confirming Zagnut's Beetlejuice association via internet search

  • Venom Pinball's music quality came from Mark Tremonti of Creed, not in-house Stern audio team

    medium confidence · Walt states '90% sure' based on audio quality but acknowledges living stream uncertainty

Notable Quotes

  • “This is Stern on their own. This isn't Metallica bringing in some professional [shit] graphic designer, whatever the [shit] they did. Cuz I mean, go look at the animations of Metallica. They're amazing.”

  • “You guys are putting yourselves in the box, man. Kind of cutting yourselves in a box here by doing the same old [shit]. We know you guys are creative. You can come up with new [shit]. Come on, man.”

    Walt Wood @ ~40:00 — Direct criticism/encouragement to Stern leadership about creative stagnation

  • “I don't like that game. I don't like Dungeons and Dragons, but I love the side art. I will give you this [shit] on the side art. Side art of Dungeons and Dragons is dope.”

The game has got to be shortened down to The game has got to be shortened down to letting any more juice loose.

Oh, another internet connected microphone that's always listening. Just what people needed. [laughter] That's what they said. That's funny. I didn't even think about that, bro.
    15:08
    You cropped someone else's videos. Stay classy. [laughter] What a loser. Just cropping Canada's video. Oh, I know why. Because this guy Kineticus, this guy Colin, he probably got the video. Canada was the first one to break this. And now it says on here. See, I know the whole story. Canada was the first one to break this because that dude I don't know how that guy's so plugged in to like news and rumors. The [ __ ] is like has his finger on the pulse of what's going on. Kudos Canada. I didn't have a chance to meet him at Expo. I wanted to, man. I was just busy. I'm sure he was busy. We just passing ships in the night. [snorts] Cheers, brother. Wish I had a chance to meet you. Sorry I missed you. But yeah, bro. He's the one that dropped that first. He broke that first cuz I read it on Nap and now this guy kineticist Colin who he's not a bad guy either. He's a nice guy but he's trying to [ __ ] crop this guy called it. He he cropped it in Canada's video. That's funny. Pinball drama. Why is there so much pinball drama? Why can't everybody just kumbaya and [ __ ] get along, right? God damn it. Why does everybody got to [ __ ] There's pinball drama. What the [ __ ] You know, people are excited. That's my point. People are excited and this is all we have to go on. We really don't have much. Are people as excited about The Walking Dead? Am I Do you want to know if I'm excited about The Walking Dead? Here, let's go. Before we get into this, here it is. I have it queued up, right? Am I Is Walter Is Walter excited about it? No, I'm not. I was excited 10 years ago when the [ __ ] game came out or whatever it was. 12 years. I don't remember the exact date when Walking Dead came out. I guess I could look it up. I have two computers right here. I might as well just [ __ ] look it up. Um, what? 2010. 2012. 2014. Let's get Let's do an overunder. 2014. I'm going to guess 2014. That's my final guess. Regis. Regis. My final guess. 2014. Walking Dead Pinball. This is one of those things I just have to know, bro. I don't know. I just I need to know like what years things come out and it's gonna bug me until I figure it out. Here's Pinside. The Walking Dead Pro pinball machine 2014. I got it right.
    17:39
    Okay. So, game that's 11 year. Yeah, I was excited 11 years ago. I was excited when the game came out, you know. Um, see all the things you want me to be excited about is all the things I ignore, the better you get at pinball, dude. Like the more you get better you the better you get at pinball, the more you're going to ignore animations, the more you're going to ignore the art, the more you're going to ignore all this other [ __ ] because you're so focused on the ball bouncing around and and trying to make the shots you need to make and trying to, you know, make the game hum and whistle and and do the things that you want to do. Every pin pinball machine is different. So the more in tune with all those things you are the the less in tune you are with the animations and and and by the way like some of the animations really uh well I guess we're jumping the jumping ahead of ourselves here. Let's just watch it. We'll watch it first. Pretend like I haven't seen this. I I I'm in a memory hole that I ever saw 11 years ago.
    18:49
    Where am I? That's what it sounds like to if I'm if you can memory old a person. That's what it would sound like to me. So now we're going to watch this. I'm going to watch this with no recollection of the old game. I can't. Do you have a brick that you can knock over my [ __ ] head? Cuz that's the only way I can forget the old game. It's so good. All right, whatever, dude. Here we go. Let's see what we got for us.
    19:22

I'm not in love with this color palette. Yeah, bro. Like, I don't know. Maybe Yeah, bro. Like, I don't know.

Extra care and attention to detail have gone into every facet of The Walking Dead remastered, honoring the original masterpiece by John Borg and Lyman F. Sheets Jr., the game includes an updated version of the revolutionary rule set that introduced a new Oh god, it's gonna have the ramp where you got to shoot that damn thing.

This when you got remember that when you This when you got remember that when you got to shoot the head underneath that that introduced a new mode that that introduced a new mode structure and riskreward elements that have stood the test of time. Well, hopefully if there's one uh pro to this, like hopeo, like one plus or good thing, hopefully they'll be able to dial that left ramp in a little bit cuz the old Walking Dead Premium, man, that left ramp is a dick. That reject weird like how it comes up and then it's like flat back there. So, it just doesn't Yeah, it's a weird. So, that's one thing they could dial in a little better. Warming. I just don't like the way it Warming. I just don't like the way it looks, man. Why the [ __ ] is it so orange and blue and [ __ ] dude? Like I kind I like these color palette, dude.

I want to see what they're doing with this animation. what they're doing with this animation. What it's going to tell the player What it's going to tell the player with a more powerful processor and a new with a more powerful processor and a new highfidelity immersive audio system. Yeah, but they have no animations. Yeah, but they have no animations. It just says st Oh, here we go. It just says st Oh, here we go.

Players will experience completely Players will experience completely overhauled 3D rendered graphics that looks horrible animations that pay a model to the dot matrix display from the they're trying to animate the dot they're trying to animate the dot matrix. It's not working. This is the part I was talking about before. This is the part I saw. I've seen this already, guys. I'm sorry. This is the part I saw where I was like, "What the fuck?" When they're animating system, system, they're trying to animate the old DMD, they're trying to animate the old DMD, but it looks bad. It doesn't look good. full experience. Look at this zombie over there. He's Look at this zombie over there. He's like
    26:37
    completely overhauled 3D rendered graphics and custom animations that pay homage to the dot matrix display from the original game. Spike 3 electronics features more Spike 3 electronics features more efficient. Yeah, bro. Those animations didn't look Yeah, bro. Those animations didn't look good. So, this is what I think happened cuz Metallica's animations were amazing. I think Metallica had their own graphics designer come in. I don't think that was stern. You know, you guys notice how the animations in Metallica are amazing. They're really good. Like when you start to multiball, like I think they had their own people come in to do that. That wasn't Stern. I'm pretty sure. I don't know where I can look that up to find. I heard that from somewhere. And then the more I think about it and I look at it, it makes sense cuz dude, Metallica is so far in like the animations are amazing, dude. So that would make sense. Metallica probably saw what Stern was doing and like up to Metall like up to them approaching Metallica to go, "Yo, we're going to do a remastered cuz they got James." We know that Stern contacted Metallica because they got James in the [ __ ] promo. So, I know, hey, this is James from Metallica. So, I know that they talked to St. They talked to Metallica because they they got James to film the [ __ ] uh promo. So, they probably looked at that looked at Stern's like animations up to that point and were like, "Yeah, [ __ ] you, dude. We're getting our own people to do our animations, dude. We'll we'll handle it." So, they had their own team do this is my theory. I don't know for sure the they had their own team do the animations for Metallica. That's why Metallica is so good. And now this is Stern on their own. This is this isn't Yeah, this is Stern on their left to their own devices. This isn't Metallica bringing in some professional [ __ ] graphic designer, whatever the [ __ ] they did. Cuz I mean, go look at the animations of Metallica. They're amazing. They're incredible. Like, dude, it's one of the only games I will literally hold the ball to look up at the animations because they're so good. Like, so something happened different there. That's not normal. Same with Venom. There's a lot of music in Venom that's really, really good. Like the like the outro theme in Venom. Um,
    29:13
    Well, that's not Yeah, that's not uh the guys from Stern. That was uh Mark Tramani, the dude from Creed who worked on that game. Pretty sure 90% here. Of course, we're going live, so don't always quote me 100%. But I'm pretty sure that that was Tramani that did that. That's why that audio is so good. That wasn't Stern. And not to not a dig at Jerry Thompson, any of the audio people over there, but I mean, dude, Venom B Venom bangs. I mean, I don't care if you like the game or not, that game sounds great. It sound It just sounds good, dude. Even when you end the game, the match sequence that plays, I don't think I could find it off the top of my head right now. But, uh, it's so good, dude. So, going back to animations with Metallica, they I think that they had their own team come in. With Walking Dead, this is Stern. This is in-house Stern doing this. This is why you get [ __ ] it. You know what I'm saying? That's what I think. I don't know for sure. Again, I don't know for sure, but All right, let's keep going. 3D rendered graphics and custom 3D rendered graphics and custom animations that pay homage to the dot matrix display from the original game. Yeah, they [ __ ] up, dude. They shouldn't have tried to animate They shouldn't have tried to animate those. Just come up with new animations. Like they're trying to animate the [ __ ] from before display from the original. display from the original. Like you could take the extra ball Like you could take the extra ball animation cuz that's like a call back. Dude, make some more make some new animations, dude. Be creative. Let yourself loose. You guys are creative at Stern. Let yourself experiment, dude. Like, don't shoot yourselves in the foot, man. You guys are more creative than you realize over there at Stern. I'm going to tell you right now, you guys are putting yourselves in the box, man. Kind of cutting yourselves in a box here by doing the same old [ __ ] We know you guys are creative. You can come up with new [ __ ] Come on, man. Spike 3 Electronics features more Spike 3 Electronics features more efficient power handling, improved Wi-Fi support, and wireless headphone capabilities.

I got a billion on it." [laughter] This is before Ray dialed all the scores down, dude. And then I went back and finished up. It was It was like serendipitous. The meat board right there.

We decided that we wanted to make the well zombie move with a solenoid instead of just it moving when you strike it with the ball. We added lit zombie heads to the slingshots and additional RGB lighting to several of the inserts on the playfield. [music]
    33:37
    What about that [ __ ] uh who's the remember the I haven't seen the show in a long time. That's the thing again, like you're putting out a game where like we haven't seen the show in like [ __ ] 10 years or whatever. Like again, like, so I'm not like you can't blame me for not remembering this episode. Okay, I'm sorry. It's been [ __ ] a hundred years since I [ __ ] seen it. All right, but my point is, remember the [ __ ] me mayor guy? The [ __ ] when they go like he's the guy that had the fish tank. Get him in the game. Why can't we get him in the [ __ ] game? What What is he doing now? He's probably not doing [ __ ] What about that guy Negan? You can't get Negan in the guy in the game. [ __ ] I don't know, bro.

    36:56
    Especially when he's talking about something he really likes, enjoys this. I don't know, dude. [music]
    37:06
    I think honestly, bro, he's still kind of like I think he's still bummed out about Star Wars, man, to be honest with you. Like, you could tell, man. Like, Star Wars really like it's not the banger he thought it was going to be, you know? And Star Wars is kind of like I that's that's the more I read into that, dude. And maybe you're saying you could say I'm reading into it too much. The more I think about it, uh I think Borg is disappointed about Star Wars. It's not the banger he thought it was going to be, you know, and it's it's a game that he it was his first game. Just think about this. It was his first game, right? So now he has a chance like 30 years later to do it again, bigger and better and grander than ever, right? So he does it. He he puts whatever he thinks that we're going to love in there. And I'm sure Stern like pushed him a little bit to be like, "Yo, um, make the game more of a fan. Do this, do that, one, and the other thing." I'm sure that they had an influence in there. They didn't just leave him to his own devices, you know, because there's to me there's things in there like the eight little lines in Star Wars corresponding that like now there has to be eight shots. That would make that would make sense to the theory that every shot is too tight because there's one too many shots. If you took one shot out of Star Wars, it would flow and play better. But they had to have eight shots because there's eight of those little stupid things at the front.
    38:43
    You got to look at the playfield. I don't feel like bringing it up. I'm too lazy. But I think that's the reason why it it seems like it's too tight, dude. Cuz there's like one too many shots in Star Wars. Cuz they were like, "Yo, we got these eight lights." Cuz if you look at Star Wars, there's these eight inserts like that. the the blue oval looking ones, right? And they're supposed to correspond with each shot. So, if you come up with seven shots, dude, it's not going to work with the eight. There's a video I did where I talked about this. Um, you guys can go back if you want to see what I'm talking about in depth. I did some commentary for Star Wars like a week or two ago. It's it's like my la one of my last videos and I talked about this in depth on stream where we circled it the whole thing. So you can go through and watch that if you want. I don't It's It's better if you could see it visually what I'm talking about. So if you want to, you can watch that old video. I'm not trying to plug my old videos. I don't give a [ __ ] if you guys watch them or not, honestly. Trust me, I love the support, dude. But like, I don't, you know, I'm just being honest, dude. I don't really care, you know? I mean, with that said, bro, it was so nice meeting everybody, man. People coming up saying, "What's up? I love your videos. This one, that one." I mean, yo, I love it, bro. I would make time for everybody. Everybody that wants to come out and shoot the [ __ ] with me, dude. I I'm down to say what's up, man. I mean, [ __ ] I mean, [ __ ] I I have you you all to thank for this, man. You guys are the ones pushing me to keep doing this, you know? I I never thought this would keep going. I mean, [laughter] you know, I'm just some [ __ ] talking to a camera. Borderline crazy, you know? I mean, that's all this is, bro. So you guys support means everything to me, man. You know, so cheers. [ __ ] cheers, guys. Everybody I met at Expo, everybody I had a chance to talk to, it was a pleasure, man. It really was. It was It was fun, man. It was [snorts] It It's really eye opening to me because I'm just a simple guy, just like humble dude really. Just making stupid videos about what he thinks, man. And it's just cool to have all these people coming up and this and that. And I want to say, "Yo, cheers, man. Just be yourself, bro. If there's any advice I could give to anybody in the world, be yourself. And you should be surprised what will happen, man.
    41:11
    What else is going on? What else is going on? So, we got I don't really know. Where we at? 41 minutes. All right. [snorts] You know, I try not to make these longer than an hour. Your time is valuable, man. You shouldn't be wasting it on my ass for too long. [laughter]
    41:32
    We have to So yeah, The Walking Dead, bro. Like, let's let's put a pin in this. What do I think? I think I'm It's the same thing I thought with Metallica, dude. Like, it was fun to play for a little bit, but it just made me want to play the old one because the old one had the magic, you know? And and see, this is the thing, dude. Now that Lyman's not here, it's like, see, I never met Lyman, but when I play like Metallica and [ __ ] it's almost like I'm hanging out with him, you know? I never had a chance to hang out with Lyman and [ __ ] bro. I was hearing some stories about that [ __ ] from this this one dude. I don't want to I don't want to drop his name. He's kind of a big cat. I don't want to I don't want to drop his name here or whatever. I don't like the name drop, bro. But he's a I'll just say he's like a big dude who's plugged in. He knows a lot of people and he's talking to my dumb ass for some reason. out on the way. He's just telling me these stories about like man like you know that dude Steve Kirk was like dude he was like down and out bro like is pretty [ __ ] like that the Steve Kirk is the dude who came up with the Italian bottom the flippers like right there that we all know and love and this dude was telling me that he was Like I mean, bro, I don't want to get too deep on it, but he's like estranged from his family, bro. Like, he was lost. Like, dude, they had to go like identify him. Like, that's how close like identify him at the [ __ ] morg, dude. Like, yeah, bro. That's how close these guys were. I'm just like, [ __ ] Like, it was wild for me to hear that, bro. I'm just like, god damn. That's why I don't want to say like anybody's name really, but but Steve Kirk, that was the dude who put up with the Italian bottom. And it was like, man, to hear like he was so down and out at his last like, bro, he didn't have anybody around except for this one dude who was telling me this story. He's like, I had to go identify his ass. I was like, Jesus Christ. You know, I was hearing some [ __ ] dark stories out there, bro. But not only dark, but like, you know, I mean, pinball's not all farts and and bubble gum, dude. There's some dark sides to pinball, bro. I mean, [ __ ] You got to hear some of this [ __ ] And I was I was a student. I was just sitting there like, "Wow." Just listening, you know? And so
    44:11
    that's why I try to give all these people some love, man, because you don't know where these [ __ ] minds are at. And I mean, look at Lyman, dude. [ __ ] Well, yeah. Going back to that, I don't want to trail off the subject too much. I just thought that story was [ __ ] wild. He's telling me about this guy Steve Kirk, dude. I'm just like, yo, cuz I've only heard of that that that dude from like videos and [ __ ] I've seen him. And this dude was telling me about how he was like down and out and like I'm like, [ __ ] dude. Holy [ __ ] Like nobody would know that except for this dude. I'm just like, yo, what the [ __ ] you know, and uh so um so when I'm playing Metallica, I feel like I have a connection with Lyman, dude, at that moment. You know what I'm saying? Like I feel like I have um like we're we're hanging out, you know? I'm playing his game at that moment, you know, like with the old Metallica, with the old Walking Dead. And now you guys remake it and it's like the memory is muddled now because nothing with Ray. I love Ray Day, man. I [ __ ] love Ray. But it's like now it's Lyman and Ray, you know? And it's like, you know, I don't really have those types of feelings for Ry that I do for Lyman. And it's like I said, I love Ray in a different way, you know? you know, Ray's Ray's my [ __ ] he's like my uh colleague or something, you know, because we [ __ ] do tournaments all the time. I see him all the time, you know? I didn't have a chance to see Lyman all the time if if ever. The only time I've seen him was on videos and [ __ ] So, when I'm playing his games, it's like I'm we're having this moment together, you know? And now it's like I don't know. It's kind of muddled because now it's Ray and Lyman. I don't know, dude. Maybe I'm going too much off a tangent here. There's one more game I wanted to talk about [clears throat] before I go to an hour. There's one more game I wanted to talk about. The Winchester Mystery House, man. Designed by Carl. Carl Carl D'Angelo. Man, I love that dude. Carl is [ __ ] awesome. If you ever see him at Indis, bro, he looks like a one-man SpaceX team, dude. He's like back there, nine nine monitors [ __ ] running the whole thing. This dude is a genius, bro. Carl is amazing. Carl was the first dude because when I used to go to Indisk, I don't really go anymore because they took the bounties away, but when I used to go, Carl was the first person like after the second or third year, Carl would uh he'd look up at me from his his SpaceX unit. That's what I call it. You just have to see it. You have to see it. He's got like nine of these, dude. Like all like that on top of each other. The [ __ ] And he's making it all work at the same time. I don't know how, but he'd look up at me with his head. He'd be like, "You out there bounty hunting, bro?" [laughter] Cuz he knew he caught on. Carl caught on. He knew that I was out there. Cuz when the first time I would get there, they would have like 10 bounties all for each one was $100. For example, one would be like uh get uh upgrade your turtle to level four in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I remember one year that was one. Or Twister pinball was uh get to the final Twister uh award by spelling Twister four times. That one's really hard, but I pulled that one off, too. So, he would look at me, "You out there bounty hunting, bro?" [laughter] Like, he caught on. He knew what I was doing. Yeah, I'm out there, bro. He called me [ __ ] Carl. Carl was the first one to notice me doing that [ __ ] And um I would clean up. I get like two or three bounties. And now you got like $200 $300 in your pocket. You're the first one. You're one of the first people at Indis to get money. It was a really cool thing for a while. It was It was like, man, there's hundreds of people here and I got money. I'm one of the only ones sitting here with money. Look at me go. You know, it was awesome.
    48:40
    So, what did they do? They went and let Carl design a game. Is that a good idea? You bet your [ __ ] ass it is, cuz he's an amazing pinball player. How many Like, when are you [ __ ] people going to learn? The only way you're going to get bangers is if you let these really good pinball people design your games, dude. Or people with passion. Like that's the you're the case with Bug because I've never really seen Bug play too much pinball. He plays a lot on his channel, but not in tournaments, but he's got the natural excitement and and and uh like curiosity. Like what happens if we put that there? Like I could tell he's like his mind is like that. And you need that. See, that's the problem with a lot of these old designers. Like they're not doing that [ __ ] because they've been doing it for so long. Bug hasn't been doing it. So now he's like he's still like at the level of curiosity. What happens if we [ __ ] whatever. Like dude, he was so excited when I talked to him. Bug was like the most excited dude. Franchie was I can't believe I'm meeting you, dude. Franchie was the best. But [ __ ] Bug was up there, too. Everybody from Spooky was so excited. But what you got here with Carl is a really good pinball player giving you what they want in a game. So, I don't have like the gameplay. I don't have the release video. I just I found some gameplay that Carl did. And I guess we'll just watch Let's watch that, dude. Right. So, yeah. Here we go. This is uh I think this is from like the other day. So, this is Carl and a few of his buddies or whatever just playing the game. So, let's just watch and see how it goes. We'll watch for about 10 minutes. We'll see what happens.
    50:39

    room shortly after Sarah's passing where one soul perished. There we go. Now it's a little clear. There we go. Now it's a little clear. And that thing moves. And that thing moves. What the [ __ ] This playfield is so cool, man. I mean, bro, look at this playfield. It goes here, here, and then the thing [ __ ] moves. So, it changes all the ball paths. This is awesome. The the the [ __ ] scoop moves around. Dude, I mean, [ __ ] hell. It reminds me of uh Gilligan's Island. If you guys ever played Gilligan's Island, it's got the ramp and then the thing. I guarantee that's where Carl got this idea. Like, it's got the It almost has the same art on the bottom of it. It's got a ramp and then that thing in the middle right at the top of it, so it moves. So, when you hit the ramp, it goes different ways every time. [ __ ] awesome, dude. What a good idea. Let's go.

    53:16
    Man, I'm still trying to get used to all the ball pads changing. [music]
    53:32

    53:42
    [music] to [ __ ] yeah, dude. [music] Okay, let me go. There we go. I want to see it right here. Flippers down with lights. There we go. Look at this ramp, dude. that goes over there like right under the flipper. I love how he's got the ramps like right behind the flippers. [ __ ] awesome, dude. This is what we're talking about, bro. Let these good designers, let these good players design games, dude. Look at what you're getting, dude. Come on. All right, I've seen enough. I've seen enough. I love the game. I love the design is awesome, bro. I can't wait to flip it. I can't wait. I met the dude from uh Barrels of Fun. Super nice guy. Dave, what's up, buddy? David, what's his name? David Van the the the guy the guy. He came up to me. He's like, "Hey, Walt. I love your Labyrinth video. I'm from Barrels of Fun." And I'm like, "Oh, cool, man. What do you do?" He's like, "I'm the owner." I'm like, "Oh, cool, man." And then uh he's super nice guy, bro. I loved it. And then I went up uh I was going to go upstairs to play one. They had a couple of these games, dude. I just The tournament went so long, bro. And I tried to give it all I could, bro. These kids are so damn good. I give them all I got, dude. I was just stoked to qualify third. It was Zach McCarthy, Arvid, and then me. And then I think it was uh Vigo and then Dalton and then a bunch of other really good kids. Slovichek and then it was but it was me in third. I want that on my tombstone. Print that out and put it on my [ __ ] tombstone, will you?
    57:06
    Oh [ __ ] man. Hey, what do I think about that? I think it's going to be a banger. I can't wait to play it. And I'm going to tell you something else. I think the game audio is a little boring. Yeah, if I have to think of one thing about that game, like that kind of the game audio is a little boring. The call outs are kind of cool, but the music is kind of boring. Some of the sound effects are working, but the music is boring. Does that make sense? Does that make sense? I gotta take a page out of Serge's book. Serge, I love you. Cheers. Uh, cheers to Serge Electric Bat Pin Pals. Love you, bro. Keep it up, dude. If you're watching this video, keep it up. Cheers to Serge, everybody. Cheers, Serge. He's out there doing God's work. I love I He'll come on with the dude. Does that make sense? I love it. It drives me up. Sometimes I'll do that in my life, you know? Like this morning, dude, I woke up. I smoked a cigarette. I had a cup of coffee, and then I had to take a fiery [ __ ] Like, it just fired out of my [ __ ] like a thousand miles an hour. Does that make sense that I had the coffee and cigarette and [ __ ] my pants almost? [laughter] Does that make sense?
    58:19
    [gasps] I use that [ __ ] all the time in my normal life.
    58:29
    Oh, I love Serge, man. Keep it up, guys. Keep it up. Uh, what do we got coming up? Beetlejuice is coming up on the 14th. That should be good. Um, I guess up till then we got nothing nothing new, man. Pinball is kind of trickling right now, you know? We're not getting a lot of new [ __ ] right now for the most part. Like, um, so we're trying we're kind of getting [sighs] titles here and there, you know, but I think BG is going to be a banger. I like I'm so excited to hear like how this is going to work like what the a like like are you gonna be able to talk to it throughout the game, you know? Like I don't know, dude. Like I'm so my mind is want this is what I want it to be. This is what I wanted from Stern, but they're [ __ ] up. You put out a game with some [ __ ] in it where I'm going, what the [ __ ] is that going to do? I don't [ __ ] know. Spooky just did that. That's why Stern is third right now. You are third, [ __ ] You got Spooky, JJP, and you. Step it up. Stop giving us old recycled games and step it up. Trust your designers. Give us another game from this Elliot guy. John Wick isn't bad. I mean, you neuted the guy with all the guns, but that doesn't that doesn't uh mean the gameplay isn't bad. I like the gameplay of John Wick. Give that Elliot guy another chance. What the [ __ ] You know what? Like I don't understand like why they have such little faith in their designers come up with new [ __ ] you know? No, they're just going to recycle [ __ ] from 10 [ __ ] [clears throat] years ago. Give it a break already, Stern. Give us new [ __ ] dude. Otherwise, you [ __ ] are going to be in third forever. I mean, tables have turned, dude. Tables have turned. The whole world is waiting for Beetlejuice now. And and no one's talking about Star Wars. It's like, oh, there's a Star Wars. Oh, I forgot already. What does that tell you? On that note, I'm out. Cheers, [ __ ] It's been fun. God bless America, and I'll see you on the other side. Peace.
