Hey everybody, Charlie and Bug from Spooky Pinball LLC here, just sending you out a nice kind general reminder to get your Spooky Pinball Fang Club, the 2021 edition with Bela Lugosi officially licensed. We're not even ripping anybody off, no, like we're paying people and stuff, it's cool. And of course, Bill Rude, artist extraordinaire from Seven Hell Studios in Los Angeles, did a great job putting this package together for you people, so we don't want you to miss out. We have a whole list of really awesome talking points here that I'm not going to look at off camera. They're right there, I swear. First and foremost, upcoming for the next game, I'm going to give you guys a tour on the overall build quality and how much better it is going to be. The next game, the next game, the way better, it's way better. So we take you in to show you all the new support boards, parts, everything we're doing different on the next game. That'll be better for everybody out there because we do read those Pinside complaints. We do. We're fixing everything. Hey, Bug, speaking of the next game, are we putting some stuff in this game? Like, is there going to be a lot of stuff in it? The next game is the most stacked and loaded game we have ever made before. It's actually, that's the title of the game. We're giving it away now. It's called Stacked and Loaded. It's like Tango and Cash, but brought up to a 2021 standard, right? And of course, everybody out there wants to get on that Bloodsuckers edition subscription so you can get the exclusive editions of the next game. Yeah, so being in the fan club gets you access to those wonderful exclusive editions of the Spooky Fan Club games, like the Bloodsuckers edition Rick and Morty, which was ridiculously awesome. And like we already said, Bill Rude did an awesome job with the Bela Lugosi kit for the fan club members. So, Dad, what is in the Bela Lugosi fan club kit? Oh, you get a... You know that pinball arcade table title stand-up plastic that everybody loves to have? I'm sure everybody has that. You get a Bela Lugosi version of that, and he's actually holding American Pinball like he's this Svengali. I'm not sure how you pronounce that. It's really really cool. And you also get your mask and your sanitizer and fan club stickers and a fan club card and of course the big one, you get early access to our games. And we know what happened on Rick and Morty, don't we, son? It was important to get early access on Rick and Morty. Yeah, so sadly, the general public did not get any Rick and Mortys because our fan club members, all 750 of you, bought it out. So don't let that happen to you. Get in on it. Get the Fang Club kit now. They're going to be shipping in August, right? Shipping now until August 1st. August 1st, you can get your 2021 Fang Club kit. I think the game announcement might be a little quicker than that. Huh? Huh? I'm not pleased to say. But speaking of Rick and Morty, as promised, despite COVID-19, we are in fact finishing it inside that 18 months, as we promised everybody out there. So even with two months of shutdown, we managed to meet our goal of all 750 games, and going forward, and I think we're going to see some photos of this here with our video editing wizard, Mr. Bunyip, we're actually expanding production here at Spooky Pinball so we can get those games done even faster. We can do more games faster. We have the expansion itch. It seems about every year, year and a half we buy a new place, build a new place or something. So we're currently in the process of building more space to our facility so that we can increase production and do higher numbers. We're even making our facility better. Better, better. It's better, better than it was. So yeah, thank you everybody for checking out the Spooky Pinball Fang Club, our second year. Sorry it kind of took us a little long. Squirrel and our friend Brian were working hard to get our new web store up and running and fix a whole bunch of weird issues. They've done that. And the kits are together right now. Your mom and your sister and Donna were up there this morning packing them up and we're ready to ramp it up and roll. So thank you everybody for watching. A lot of really awesome things coming this summer, so get those Bloodsuckers editions. And stay tuned and watch for Bug as he's going to show you the facility and gameplay stuff here as we go along and some of the better things that we're doing with our games to make them better. Can we mention the facility about it? Thank you everybody.
