From Knapp Arcade Arenas except a future-off April. C Barffffffpinball venue inpand it was really spread out so decent vendor area but lot of I mean tons and tons of pinball machines and all these clubs have their own pinball rooms so whatever they are in the New England area each one would have a room and they brought a bunch of machines maybe it was an arcade fuck they even had a homebrew room and I thought I never knew pin tastic I thought you'd know about it at definitely Expo and a little bit of TPF as well but at pin tastic that homebrew room was great and the reason I'm bringing it up is because you talked about your buddy who made I was watching the galaxy game, the Hitchhiker's Galaxy game. There was one of those there, not that game, but the same kind of thing that Pinball2000 where they had the screen and made it into a new pinball machine. I didn't get to play it. I saw it, but didn't get to play it. So I like that people are re-theming those Pinball2000s. Do you remember the theme of it at all? I just, I raise my asses because I know that there was this guy that's been doing something called like Haunted Cruise or something and I was wondering whether that was it. Rings a bell. There were some other great ones there. There's, you know, the Jaws re-theme, there was Zack's poker game, Zack from Slam Tilt. That was kind of fun to play because tons and tons of drop targets and each drop target had a computer screen in front of it. So the cards would change as you need different things. It was pretty cool. Like, it's almost what you wanted World Poker Tour to be if you like poker themes. And that was cool. But yeah, I like the homebrew stuff. And that's again, without the bestES specifically reach Center of Action,object key Presta of Action Review Station lsFat mayw italiano.com, content portal. Though the Boston Journalists Re personnes qui. The RALEIGH BERMAN 288- CIBLKPAE bought Sdyne put back on record all hjo brought 那到 I was reading some criticisms online and I thought every one of the criticisms was bullshit. You know, why didn't extra balls get turned off this? Why didn't that... He has reasons for everything and the players knew it and blah blah blah. Did you hear what happened? Somebody plunged an extra ball and lost because of that? Whose fault is that? Jim Swain's? No, it's whoever plunged the ball. Ah, yeah, so it is. Anyway, it's unfortunate but that's the way it is. The guy who did a great job running it and the tournament was won by Jason Zoller. PINBALL I didn't play something like Johnny Pneumonic and drop the ball in the VAC over and over and over again and get all these points. Yes, I do know that. Yep. I didn't find an exploit, but I showed people how to play the game. So it's a card-based format, like Indisc, like Papa. So you play five games and all five of those games have to count on your card, which means you have to be consistent. If you have a bad game, that's gonna hurt your entire card, no matter how good the other scores are. So you want consistent scores. You don't have to blow them up, just good, decent scores to get you in the top 24 and make the playoffs, all that kind of stuff. Well, I knew I liked Centaur. You know I like Centaur. Oh, I do know this story, okay. So what happened was, I saved that for my final game, because I had two good games, shit, I got a good third game, I got a good fourth game, I just need my last game. I purposely saved Centaur for the end. And the flippers were a little steep in the sense, like think of old Gottlieb flippers where the ball's coming down the inlane, you just hold it up and they're not going past it. Same kind of thing. So they're steep, which means, hmm, interesting. Trap up easy, but what I did was not post pass, but flip really quickly so that it went up the inlane and down the inlane. It never went up and over. And it seems like a hell of a grind, but if you go up and down, that's fine. Franchi hearingsitorium sauיזn taydenér?

People are like, well, what about the tournament? I'm like, well, if I make it, I make it. If I don't, I'm going to a baseball game. So, This was 4.30 on the Friday of the night I was going to the game. It's about an hour away. So I basically drained because I knew I had to go to the baseball game, but I just kept doing it over and over and over and over again. So I started it and then people could notice. I made sure it wasn't on stream. And I'm admitting it so it's not like I'm hiding it. And then everyone did it afterwards. So that the queue line for other games were let's say four or five. The queue line for Centaur was one. Free, standard pinball and周 Lemifia do거든记 Creative Well know political board member ran tunin demonstrate. Bgar. I I think I blindick, Star Liberty again reading Anhil Johnligt into him on as I heard he was saying the Kniplong birthdays huhscreen a discussing BD oick as a Oh yeah, you can. And here's where Jim Swain did a great job. He disabled the inlanes completely. So you're not getting any blue. Marty, when I get my wonderful Haggis machine, the Kantar edition, please make sure the flippers aren't super, super high on any of the machines because you want to avoid that actually. I will do that. I would. Well, actually, Jim, I forgot, I did actually forget to mention it, obviously, at Pinfest. Yeah, Jessie J. We are here, I mean, obviously besides that, we had two centaur prototypes there as well. They did not miss a beat the entire weekend. Oh good. Yeah, they were good. But the prototypes didn't have the new code, right? No, just the original code. Okay, but you got to see the nice layout, the way it looks and all the different GI, I guess? Correct. Well, and the main thing, it was the first time people got to see the color edition in person. Ooh. So, I've got to say, I was a little bit apprehensive about what people would think And I shouldn't have been. People actually loved it. Do you know the worst comment I got was, uh, you know, look, it looks really good, but I prefer the original. So people that played the original will prefer the original is my guess. People that don't know the original will probably lean more towards the color one, I'm guessing. Do you know what? Hmm, interesting. Why wouldn't they? I have a vested interest in the original one, because it was the only black and white game. No I think what it was even people that played the original actually preferred the colour But what they preferred was the price of the black and white Well there that too I think we only had one oblivion left anyway. So I think people were happy with the black and white because it was, you know, what they could obtain. And also it still looked really good. At Pinfest, did the apron have the screens on them? Yes. Oh, but they were just not programmed? Yeah, no, they're programmed. They just played the original code. Gotcha. All the original code was there and the original code has its own screens as well, so it was still fully functional. We just haven't put any of the new code in yet. Can I ask you a question? Because I was thinking about what's the... Sure. I like the game as is and it's funny, before I made the game Spamtar at Pintastic, we were talking about different ways to play that game. And maybe you're somebody who likes to hit orbs in order, maybe somebody who likes to do the inlanes, I'm not asking what's in it, but I'm just saying, could something like this be possible? I was thinking of the hurry-ups in Quickdraw of Cactus Canyon where a thing pops up. Could you not do that with, I think, eight drop targets on Centaur? Certainly the four in the front? Well, there's actually 12 because if you count the Quinch Chamber, they're also drop targets as well. Eight that you can hit though? Correct, that you can hit directly, yes. Directly. Hmm. Is that a, should I even suggest that or is that? Well, what you've got to remember, only one of those banks has smart drops. So, only the one, two, three, four targets can automatically go down. The orbs targets can't. Oh, okay. I didn't know that. And, you know, look, I mean, there's things that I can talk about with Centaur Revisited in that I've already made, so the Queen's Chamber targets, right, they're not smart in the original. I've made them smart in the Revisited. So, it will keep your progress in between balls, but also I can do some funky stuff in Revisited code as well. I think I told you this at the Beast because In the past, we're talking about the 1980s version of center, not the haggis version. Sometimes the multi ball causes a problem and the way the ball was released and then to the plunger and the plunger shoots it up. What was happening at Pintastic, multi balls were on, you didn't get a multi ball, it would pop it in the shooter lane, the ball would fire off and then come straight back down and then not fire again. So you've got a ball sitting in the shooter lane. Yeah, that's, is that an easy fix? Is the nice way of me asking that? The easy fix is making sure that you've got a subway system that works. But what if the ball does come back down that shooter lane? Is it going to know... Is there going to be a sensor to know it has to fire again? Oh, then that's... you fixed it. That's it. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Okay. Are we going to come back to pinfest anymore? I mean, fuck. No, I just... I just... I just forgotten that because you mentioned Centaur Pintastic. But you still hadn't answered my question, which was overall, what's the Pintastic show like? C Bar),in the tournament but the overall show. The show is really really good. It's a fun fun show. If you haven't been there I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how big it is. I mentioned all the different rooms but they had four Venoms there, they had two Pulp Fictions there, they had Godfather, they had Galactic Tank Force, they had every game you can possibly imagine. Cactus Canyon was there. They had lots of stuff there and you know I hope I'm not forgetting anybody else I had Scooby Doo's there. It was good. So, there's lots to do. A lot of people. I saw the pins. I saw Dr. Pin and Mrs. Pin. Yeah, cool. I saw the photo. Oh, I forgot you don't like people that like you. That's right. Correct. Jesse J. Fuck. I knew you were going to bring that up again. Yep. Crushing hearts. All right. Yep. We've never done this for the second time ever. Damn. Who are we going to save? Mrs. Pin and Jesse J. are in the wheel of death now. Holy The It's never been done on the show, you know, we've been we've missed it for years. It's coming back Mrs. Pin mother of two teacher Jessie J just getting her life started happy in love and getting married and Unfortunately in Marty's world I've only got time for one of you and it would be easy for normal people just to say I'm just not gonna talk to you But it's the Marty way. You got to kill one of them. Who is it gonna be Marty? No, no No, I will not partake in this. We're only doing one an episode. Fuck you. I'm doing it. I'm shutting it down. Nope, shutting it down. Nope. Both will die horrible deaths if you don't pick one. It's like me bringing up your children and saying, Okay, Jeff, you've now got to kill one of your children. Hey, whoa, fantastic fun show. Carson. Next. You gonna kill him? Kill him? Sure. How you gonna kill him? I don't know. How do you want me to do it? Is he on social media? I might send him a message letting him know that you are gonna kill him. I'm not gonna kill him. Right, see I can take myself away from it realizing it's just a game. In fact, I think one time the kids were saying something like, Dad, is it impossible for parents to have a favorite? And I went, hell no. They just looked at me like, oh God. So thinking that they'd have to one up each other, right? To get my love. Or do what they did and just said, ah, fuck him. Cool. And we moved on from this topic? Cool. Excellent. By the way, next week? Jesse J and Mrs. Pin in a battle. It's next week. Okay, well that gives me time for me to be able to somehow have a third option. So, fine. And the sad thing is it takes six weeks for us to do our show, so they're going to be sweating it out. I mean, it's best just to do it, get it over with now. Yeah, I mean, okay, cool. No, next time. So, besides Pintastic, what else did you do? That was a few weeks ago, and then last weekend, at the time of this recording, I was at Klee Pin, Techn булоhanol icx影片frontx24183, and some more about the tournaments probably that venue not a lot of vendors you know some some good people like rage tilt and and others but I guess the free play area is for the casual people but because it's part of the Stern pro circuit it's a grind it's fuck yes I came third in the classics I do can we that's not the main tournament though? yes I qualified for the main tournament where'd you come in the main tournament? 2020. Qualify for the main tournament. Do you qualify? Where'd you end up? It's pretty amazing considering again I went to a baseball game. Went to the ClevelandءGuardians. Yeah, where did you end up? Jeff, Jeff. Why are you playing in the term? I'm like listen if I get in great. That's fine. I just I'm here for the baseball tournaments aside but I guess I fell into both whatever get over it. Enough. Ifpa.com. Enough. Just go to the Stern pro circuit standings and look in the top 20. No, I just wanna see where you end up in that. Doesn't matter. That tournament goes clearly it matters. Top 24. Well, that's one of the... Can we talk about Klee Pin for a second? So, there's a bit of buzz about Klee Pin. It's a pump and dump, so I think it's 20 bucks for nine entries, and it doesn't pay out a lot. I'm not saying things to be negative, I'm just saying the fact it really doesn't pay out a lot. Raymond Davidson won the big tournament, won $800. I bring that up because I ran the Beast in one last day, and Jason Zoller won the championship and won $3,000 compared to $800. The reason why, and this is why I'm bringing it up, I want to explain it, is those machines are brought in. So when I can run the Beast, most of those machines are there. When you're at an event like Kleepin at a Holiday Inn, you have to bring all the machines in. So the expenses are far greater at Kleepin than I have at the Beast or other tournaments that have machines right there. So you have to take that into consideration. They're paying tax, they're paying other people. Would you like to see the dollars higher? Of course. I would, but it's not the be-all and end-all because it's been on the Stern Pro Circuit for years and it's just, you and I talked about this, Marty, and I know you're dying to fucking say I came in 24th, so I said it. All right, there it is. You know, okay, 24th, okay, you came, I saw it, 24th. Next, but we talked about should people who run tournaments get paid for running tournaments? And I'm not personally a fan of that, but at the same time, I also 100% believe anybody who runs a tournament or a show should not ner 되나우 한자 공 promised 너한테 now화� AG That's how bad our performance was. Or have that many fucking great ones, I mean, there's that aspect too. No, not really because that would've, if you'd won, that would've given you 116 points, so it would have made a difference. Well, it's just wasn't meant to be, I guess. No, you got nothing, you got nothing. But it certainly, it helped towards the Stern Pro Circuit standings. What I will say though is, if I'm really honest, like, they are still good points. Like I mean, obviously you've glossed over the fact that in the beast you came 17th, right? WPPR árC instead of cineman pump caution top auchteon te trmøn pålo on J nella Superbeuse ott 세d conver antonio bus at dances agree to where cinema points recognition for the coming Games on the East Grand Big bickies here. Sure. Yeah. So, the European Pinball Championship, came 56, really, really, should be ashamed of yourself. Okay, I'll give you that. Yeah. But, 27, still, but still, it's 27 points. That's great. So, I made the playoffs. I was in, that was a group of 16 and you had to be in the top four and I just barely made it and Raymond Davidson made fun of me because I had the weapon lit on Rush, a game I own, and instead of holding the button down, I was rapidly tapping it and the weapon didn't I'm not here to talk about... I mean, now you're going to want me to talk about what I'm doing next week. Alright, fine, I will. I'm going to UK Open. Alright, Neil McRae's got a big event in Croydon, south of London. 170 players are going to be there. It's basically the Europe's version of Indisc. Yes, I did very well there last year. Second in Classics. It's not about that. It's about how good this tournament is. There's a main event. There's Classics events. There's high stakes. There's women. I'm looking forward to that. What's the last time you were in England? I wanna say maybe eight years ago? Were you born there? No, my dad was. Your dad was. I knew you had English in you. So I can get an English passport if I wanted one. It's not as anywhere near as useful as it used to be before Brexit. Would they wanna give you one or are they happy with you being in Australia like so many of the displaced people? It's not like they want to. They have to. By law, they have to. They've made changes by now, haven't they? Yeah, yeah, maybe. We know people. But speaking of big tournaments, did you know the Australian Pinball Open is coming up? What? I don't know anything about that. Tell me, what is the Australian Pinball Open? So it is, it's a big tournament. It's also a card format as well and I would suspect that this could be the first time there has been a card format in Australia. I think, I don't know. Is Lambo running it? I actually don't know who is running. I know that Dr. John is involved because he's the one that has given me all the information, but it's in Kool and Gadda, so, you know, Queensland, best place in the world, blah, blah, blah, you know what Dr. John says. So it is, yeah. And there are, so besides that, there's also target match play and then there's three strikes as well. So I like this because it's the sign that Australia is getting back to having some mega tournaments. So. There you go. I think Lambo and I were talking. I think Australia has, if not the third, the fourth most players out of any country in the world. Yeah, okay. US number one, Canada number two, and I think it's Australia. Really? Yeah, okay. Yeah. I mean, that would make sense because, you know, we've always talked about the fact that Australia has got a big pinball community and we did forever. We've always been one of the bigger markets and people have sort of said it's because John Papadiuk, Black Water, person's name or role at Stern Pinballelectronic, непоп题 von bété. ина подзывே來到 ^^ The point is, I like documentaries and they have a lot of documentaries and there was one on the culture of, it was about things in Australia and they spent a lot of time in Melbourne. And the big, did I tell you this already? I told Ryan. No, tell me. The biggest thing they talked about was how many, I'm not trying to be funny, how many, I don't even know what you call them, sex worker shops there are in Melbourne, like several licensed sex worker shops. Did you know this? No. Jim purposes,
