DeadFlip streams The Shadow pinball with new hardware, discussing mechanics and encountering technical issues.
The Shadow is based on an Alec Baldwin movie adapted from a DC Comics source
high confidence · Jack states directly during gameplay discussion about the game's theme
The Shadow character had psychic powers and could cloud men's minds on the original radio show
medium confidence · Chat participant corrects Jack's understanding; Jack acknowledges the radio show origin and invisibility mechanic
Pulling the gun trigger can clear Furbas on the playfield
high confidence · Jack discovers and demonstrates this mechanic during gameplay: 'Did you know you could pull the gun trigger to clear the Furbas?'
The Pinball Browser tool allows ROM editing to customize sounds and animations on newer Stern machines
high confidence · Jack provides detailed explanation: 'Pinball Browser allows you to take the ROMs that are installed on these games... you get to take animations out, you get to put animations in there'
The Shadow machine in this stream is from Emporium in Wicker Park and has mechanical issues including a missing Furba and ball-swallowing problem
high confidence · Jack: 'This pinball machine, ladies and gentlemen, belongs to Emporium in Wicker Park... this game was notoriously beat to shit'
“This game was always busted. In fact, that Furba up there forever only had one screw, and when you would change lanes, the Furbo would spin 360 degrees going right to left.”
Jack Danger@ 8:45 — Describes the poor maintenance history of the machine at the arcade venue
“Pinball Browser allows you to take the ROMs that are installed on these games, and you can find them on the internet, and you get to rip the ROM wide open, and you get to take animations out, you get to put animations in there.”
Jack Danger@ 48:06 — Educational explanation of a community tool for customizing pinball machine content
“When you play pinball as much as I do, you learn a few things about how to move a machine. You need sharp, pointy moves, not fluid movement. You want a little jab, like a blow dart.”
Jack Danger@ 51:14 — Provides pinball technique advice about nudging and tilt management
“This isn't a great score, but this is honestly the best game of The Shadow I've ever played in my life.”
Jack Danger@ 20:52 — Reflects on gameplay performance and familiarity with the machine
“Oh, I would love one, man, absolutely. Some pinball parties would blast.”
Jack Danger@ 20:04 — Expresses interest in streaming The Simpsons Pinball Party if available
