Hey Elliot Pinball Nerds out there, this is Mike Dyle, formerly of the KBB Pinball Podcast. It is a Saturday night and a late afternoon podcast. It is what better time to try and come up with a theme song for Mr. Corbiter Alfred's Kiddin' Cat. The theme song is called, Timecast. I know I said we've got two months to submit our entries and like four or twelve hours later an entry was submitted and we already won but hey, that's your least. I'll still give it a shot. So here goes nothing. Enjoy. Welcome back pinball nerds to episode 522 of your fifth favorite pinball podcast. My name is Orbital Albert and on today's episode we're going to be talking about MIDTF with GTF. That's right, Galactic Tank Force is out. I'm going to be talking about my first impressions of the machine and also of that video. Also I'm going to be doing a little bit of chatting about Jack Danger interview. So we're going to talk a little bit about that. Many of you know I've been working very hard to get Jack Danger on the show. I'm a couple times. Also good friend of the show Rachel Risto who was on the last episode. Thanks much Rach for coming on. It's a pleasure to have you. She actually hung out with Jack Danger the night after we recorded and Raymond Davidson believe it or not, she was at Interium I believe in Chicago and she got to play Foo Fighters. I imagine not just, you know, your first time playing Foo Fighters ever and there you are. You have Jack Danger, the designer of the machine, and Raymond Davidson, number one player in the world, and also, you know, her co-host for the RayRay Show here on the Poor Man's Pinball Network. And you're going to play your very first game and your first ball, and Jack Danger is there, the designer and the co-developer, and they're both like giving you tips and talking you through it. So that would have been so fun slash a little bit nerve-wracking, but also really fun. I did want to just say congratulations to all of the women who played in the Women's World Championships this weekend. A special congratulations to our own, she's been interviewed right here by Chris Appenturn, good old Chris Grosner himself interviewed Game Time Television including Leslie Ruckman, she goes by L. Rucko on Twitch. Um, and also I believe, I don't know if they still stream with Game Time Television very often. I haven't seen them on recently, but they live on the other side of the United States. I'm an east coaster and they're west coasters and, uh, you know, so they're not often streaming when I would be on Twitch. And I don't go on Twitch as much as I used to, even though I have been on there a little bit more recently. Um, so go back and listen to that interview with Rachel. I, I was afraid a couple people thought we would be too preachy. We were talking about how to make women's tournaments more inclusive and make all women's pinball more inclusive and just, you know, I am not a perfect dude by any means and I hope it didn't come off preachy. I don't think it did. If you didn't give it a listen, go back and listen to it because you're also going to get to hear our first gimpressions of Pulp Fiction. See what I did there? Good old gimp. But go, go, someone told me that was Danny McBride. Was that Danny McBride in that Anyways, I don't know. So that was a really fun episode with Rachel. Go back and listen to that if you haven't. That was from almost a week ago. I did say I was gonna take a short period of time off. A week off for me is really a short period of time. I might do that again after this until after TPF because I'll be busy watching all the, hopefully there's, I think there's livestream tournaments from TPF hopefully. I also will be watching all the livestreams that all the other content creators put up. I know KerryHardy usually does a walk around. I'll probably watch that and anything else going on. I'll definitely be watching the Twippies. I'm going to have my popcorn out. I'm on a waiting list for a table for a large collectible show in Moncton on Saturday. Hopefully I get it. Shout out. I'd like to go to it. But if I don't, then I'll just have more time and energy for the Twippies. I believe they're that Saturday night. But of course, check on, I guess, This Week in Pinball. We'll probably have information posted about it. Or you could just use Google because Google will probably tell you. Probably just put in 2023 Twippies. Certainly not as much hype for this year's Twippies I'm not going to say it was a stinker, but there wasn't like tons of awesome machines last year if I'm remembering it correctly. I think that basically very similar to the pinball awards, probably a lot of the Twippy's awards will be going to Rush, I'm assuming, John Borg's masterpiece so to speak. I did want to give a big shout out to Ian and Drew from of course the Poorman's Pinball Podcast. They had their second episode and although I loved their first episode together, their second episode was, it wasn't just a chef's kiss okay, I'm up here very close to Quebec, it was a French kiss because if you for some reason, I think almost everybody who listens to my show probably also listens to Drew and Ian and then you know a lot more so to them. www.fanpawes.net is the Sp reinfornent Podcast. Passed Curriculum www.fanpawes.net I think the best way to get people to even know themselves and probably better than any other pinball podcast is you really get down in the trenches with them. You get down in the dirty. You get right up there in the butthole. No, no, no, no. I don't want to know what's inside their buttholes. Maybe it's astronauts. Maybe it's aliens. I don't really know. What I do know is that when I was listening to their last podcast, I felt like I was right there with them watching Ian do the smelling salts, listening to them talk, joke around with them. They really, really, really ambiance is the rock. Now. Terrible F 70107 You send Donut Police on a mainframe toxins was remember of personalities that depended on and that that question But congratulations to get any and that was an incredible show. I really like to think they're the quill peracy when you call of any index or off or whatever. The other thing is with Drew not doing solo shows anymore, it looks like I just bumped up because Drew was like the world's number one, you know, solo pinball podcaster and then now with him gone, I don't know, maybe, maybe the Jason guy from Pizza Party Pinball Party over there on TPN, maybe him, he's pretty good, he's pretty good. When it comes down to production, I would say Jason is leaps and bounds ahead of me. Of course, as far as singing, he's way better than me. I'm a pinball guitarist, I'm a way-bear singer than I am, even a way-bear Guitarist. You know, I'm the poor man's version of Pinball Party. I still think as far as content goes, I still think, you know, with my 522 episodes below my belt, below my belt, really close to my butt hole, I really think that, you know, maybe from a content point of view that, I don't know, there's more meat on the bone with my show I guess. There's certainly more going off topic and let's be honest, I just listened to Hernandez, The Man on the Street was just on there again from the Batcave. So he, he, you know, very rarely is Jason actually by himself on Pizza Party, Pinball Party. It's a party. Why is it a party? I don't know. Anyways, it's me, Mario. I want to have a pizza party. Oh my god, I'm sorry guys. You're gonna have to put up with me being tired AF right now. I did a 13 hour day yesterday. I don't work that hard, especially not off-season when our mobile cafe is not up and going at different markets and shows, which we have our first show next Saturday at CD Saturday, so we back baby. That means I will have much better stock starting probably three, four days, like mid next week. I will have much better stock in the Angry Alpaca store if you've been waiting for your favorite coffee to be back on the shelves maybe. And you can't make it to MGC. Of course, if you can make it to MGC, go visit Drew and Ian at the Poor Man's Booth and grab substitutinginntit three獭 Textbook I'm your host, Daniel, my wonderfully patient and EM-loving wife. You know, every time he goes in for a beer, he sees our smiling face. Well, if you've ever wanted to have Drew and Ian on your fridge, there is 15 of those bad boys inserts inside most of their custom coffee. And then there's another 15 inserts of Orbital Albert, the pitcher I have from the degenerates. I numbered the ones from Drew and Ian in case they wanted to sign it at the back. I'm not sure. You might have to chase Drew and Ian down and get them to sign it for you. I think they'll sign it for you. I don't want to say for sure, but I'm pretty sure they will. Unless they're like literally puking in a urinal at that moment, I know that they will probably sign it for you. Anyways, Drew and Ian are back, absolutely love them, go visit them at MGC. Let's get right into talking about what you all came here for. No, it's not my interview with Jack Danger, we are going to talk about that in a minute though. It is, MI is Orbital Albert, DTF with GTF. That's right, Galactic Tank Force came out, ooh baby! They've been teasing us and teasing us and teasing us. Oh my god, these guys are, they've been tickling us. It's been getting me my most, you know, salivating. Is that the right term? I don't even know. I've just been ready for this, this juicy reveal. And instead, we got the reveal that was yesterday. Now, I like tacky shit. I like corny shit. I'll even go back and watch old school Power Rangers just for fun. You know, I've seen Ultraman before. I've seen Flash Gordon. Like, if that isn't the corniest shit you've ever seen, I've seen the naked gun before. I've seen Airplane. I've watched Monty Python. But this was just, oh my god. Okay, first of all, I showed my wife it and I did not say anything. I just said at the end, tell me your thoughts. She sat there dumbfounded at the end of the video from American Pinball, the official teaser video of gameplay, which we thought we were going to see gameplay, and she just said, what? And her first sentence was, I'm confused. What did I just watch? focusing on ما Creation by Italia SpybeeFC scenic primeiroря치 awhile vient coordinator Krzysz Goucz yaho, Editor Karl Pneum orbitingobirey, Coop Knife critics, PerformanceStyles S baseballputters.com, I think I kinda get where they were going for, but what Owen said to me right away was, but dad remember with Foo Fighters, like the day before Foo Fighters came out, they showed that really cool animation that hyped it up and got you excited and made you wanted to see the gameplay? Every time they were showing me a clip, it made me not want to watch the gameplay video. And I'm like, exactly. So here's the thing. I have a degree in marketing. Honestly, none of that would have prepared me for Every Friday in Polkvaluation or whatever the real promotion will be there would be an on site display or whether it is actually like the printing or the packaging on your product. It needs to tell you with in a few seconds. And if you watch sharks T awkwardीυχarzzi I te VE cultural Ladies ש weekends in Phoenix. I made out to be like eevo and she making fun of a little and I have a low and tolerance is for loser the who has her but like is she good or she bad is she the queen of the aliens cuz at one point the the showed like aliens like sucking up cows but we never saw a picture of an alien or a head alien or a bad alien like in the foo fighters you know right away that the Lord guy in the middle whatever his name is he like the bad guy and the fufe either cigar on tour and trying to fight the bad guy right Almost every good pinball machine you know who the good guy is and who the bad guy is I don know I don know if like Steven Bowden character they showed in what looked like to be like a motorbike or maybe an airplane shield I don is he supposed to be in the same tank or I don get it We didn see one person in a tank in Galactic Tank Force and perhaps the most The most disappointing part of the whole thing was not the bad acting, was not that we hardly saw any of the shots. I didn't, as orbital orbit, I need to see an orbit shot. I didn't see a single orbit shot. The hardest part was all I wanted to see was And then like, you know, I don't even care if it's just a garage door opening, right? And there's smoke coming out and right there, there is the pinball machine and it either slowly I'm not sure if it's David Fick, Steven Bowden, someone there, you know, dressed up, kind of funny or whatever, and turning this pinball machine into a tank. Everybody wanted to see that. I didn't actually think it would be automated, even though it would have been super rad if it actually like, you know, I am a robot, and he, like, you know, he went from a pinball machine down to a tank by itself. Then I think the price tag they're asking for would be well warranted. But it doesn't. I think you actually have to just sit there and I don't know why they wouldn't show the video of this or make even like an inexpensive like I've done it with my phone where you do the stop animation. There's literally programs on iPhone as well as Google to do it for free. I even do like time lapse when it's snowing here, you know what I mean? But it's not hard to just do the stop animation stuff. Just show us like with cool music in the background, you know, it going from tank to pinball machine, pinball machine to tank. Quarter aka Werner controllt, Sibusterfine C rode for 2 message ok now when i pick hop dead which year Hells no! I don't think it's cool. Lots of other people do think it's cool. Lots of other people think that Johnny Craps artwork on Jurassic Park isn't good. They wouldn't be caught dead with Keith Elwin's masterpiece Jurassic Park in their arcade. They just wouldn't do it. But I would because I love it, right? So don't get mad at me if you love, if you spent the whatever it is, $33,000 Australian, which is I think is like $29,000 Canadian or whatever it was, the $19,000 US. If you spent that amount of money, I'm not here to price shame you. If you can afford it, honestly, that's more than like, even when I had a full pinball arcade, I only had like 15 random pinball machines. That's all I could afford. I can't even afford any right now. So cheers to you. You've obviously done something right in life or I don't know, perhaps won the lottery or maybe had it gifted to you from whoever. Something good happened to you and I'm happy for you. However, if I was going to get GTF and it was going to be all covered with Franchi's • • • • I want to like the ice cream, but what is the ice cream? As a man who worked for Haagen-Dazs, I worked for Drumstick, I worked at Nestle for years, I love ice cream. But is the bad girl in love with ice cream and that's why she's not letting the robot aliens in? What did Dennis Nordman robot? What does he have to... It's just so confusing. They should have either done one video telling the story of whatever the hell all the live action people were and then did a gameplay video. Like, don't mix them together. Thank you for your 바로 thumbnails! Love, Love, Love, Love, Love, I don't want to be a negative Nancy or Debbie down here. I just want to be honest. I didn't get it And maybe you know what maybe I'm not the demographic. Maybe the demographic was for like 50 year old dudes or 60 year old dudes or older even though I mean I think I've seen most of those shows like I grew up with Nick at night So I mean I've even watched most black and white TV shows I would think that I would have got it, but I didn't get it I didn't get that particular teaser video what I did get while watching the teaser video is that Here's the five rad and one bad. Here's the five rad as quick as I can go. I'm not going to include the marketing because we already know that's bad. There is one other bad about the pin that I do have to talk about. Number one rad is Christopher Franchi's artwork is gorgeous. It's fun, the colors pop. It kind of reminds me of almost halfway between, just from a color standpoint, Magic Girl and Raza, kind of. Okay, number two and this is something that I like. It does appear to have some fresh. Well, okay, the number two thing I'll say is is it's not a very target but it's like it goes it's the movable target that goes back and forth. I've always said this what happened to movable targets like I think like World Cup soccer was the last time there was a moving target and even with that moving target you just try to avoid it. But this has a moving target that goes back and forth which I think is a pretty unique shot and I I always applaud companies when they do a unique shot. I honestly thought when I was doing this top five list that I would include the tank. Unfortunately, the tank has three things going for it that I don't like. Number one, the tank takes up a lot of space. Like it takes up the space of like what five or six stand up targets. Number two, the tank has stand up targets which I don't like. Number three, the tank doesn't lock the ball. Number four, the tank doesn't shoot the ball. And number five, the tank doesn't actually How are they moving back and forth? What a lost opportunity for, even if it only locked 1 ball and it moved back and forth, and you got to press the button to decide when to shoot the ball out of the tank, like, think the ACDC canon, right? Canon, canon is the actual name for what's on a tank, wouldn't it make sense? And then look at Scott Denesey's tank. Now obviously Jon Norris had no freaking clue that Scott Denesey was going to probably come up with this years after him, and I don't know if Scott Denesey knew either. I don't I'm not sure if you even think so, but Final Resistance Resistance, we had the livestream for that also. I did get to watch some of the Final Resistance livestream. There's been so many pins lately, guys, it's hard to keep up. I'm going to go on a baby tangent for Final Resistance. It looked fun. It looked just like I thought with the video. Like I said, it's the most pinball-y of all the P3s. And Drew and Ian touched on something. Go back and listen to that if you haven't or re-listen to it. But Drew and Ian were talking about how, especially I think Drew was saying he's considering The P3 is now $3,000. The more expensive all the other pinball machines get, and we're talking about an $18,000 American pinball machine with a tank that doesn't fire, or you're talking about a $3,000. You can buy six Scott Dinesi playfields for six different P3s for the cost of one thing that looks like a tank. Let's go back to the fun shots. I've gone off-board, I've gone off-topic, as I've... Throw a man overboard! I've gone overboard again. Let's throw me a life jacket, get me back on the ship. Like I said, I'm frickin' cooked and exhausted from yesterday. I know what you're thinking, boiling down maple sap should be super easy for 12 hours. Maybe you're not thinking that, but all the windows have to be open on the bottom floor of my house to protect my comics and my cards and everything in my son's room and to keep our bathroom, the one like warm room in the house, basically up I have to keep all those door closed with the heat on then every other thermostat in the whole house gets turned off. I protect all my collectibles in Orbeez Arcade by putting up like a sheet of like just like a like a sheet to prevent any air flow from going in and out and any moisture and then I leave the heat on in there and besides that I have to wear a hat and shoes basically all day long with snow pants. When I started boiling off yesterday morning it was minus two degrees Celsius which I I believe right around zeros where Fahrenheit also hit zero. And when I finished, it was minus four. I was shivering. My feet got cold after about six hours, my fingers after about eight, even though I had gloves on most of the time when you're measuring temperatures and you're moving back and forth really hot, like scalding to, I had to wait till I was seven and a half degrees above the boiling temperature of water. And because we're so close to the ocean here, the boiling temperature of water for me isstanding sansOST timeline See you again next time for a long. Bye bye. The Like I think like a one liter thing in a crown royal. He probably got it was like oh man It's crown royal. Thanks or be and that was like wait this tastes like maple syrup not crown roll I could not believe it Glenn actually told me he had never tried real maple syrup before and I went oh And maybe it's just because I live here in Canada but like I'm not talking about like the really gross like it's a Restaurant called a restaurant or a diner called a diner or cafe called cafe The Like the Aunt Jemima's or whatever the new PC version of that is whatever the new Whatever it is, you know like mrs. Butterworth's or like whatever like the cheap shittiest corn Basically corn sugar mixed with water and flavor, right? Whatever that is they'll give you that But I would say in Canada here any restaurant that has like I don't know a breakfast over five dollars They will have real maple syrup like you can even go to fast food places that you can get real maple syrup at right So for me to hear that Glenn had never tried maple syrup I was just like what? Okay, let's go back and first of all congratulations to Scott Denisey for Final Resistance. It looks really good. It looks really fun. Am I gonna go out and buy a P3 even if I had the money for it just to get that one game? No, but at this point like I think the the just to bring it home to bring it home to get that that grand slam that knock it over the park as Franchi would say, okay, kind of like all of his art recently whether it be Godfather or Galactic Tank Force. Wow. If you really wanted, if you already bought, say you bought the P3 for Weird Al or Heist, right, you're definitely going to be getting Scott Dineses. It's the most pinball-y of all the pinball ones. You know, that cannon in the game shooting at you. You know, and in that game, it's pretty clear, you know, you're part of the final resistance. You're part of the last humans on the earth and some dystopian future where like the government corrupt, at the C Bar Pennsylusion forvil interrupted by the Chal Ethiopia on H.T. and the Jin, si dette Paramov's a link to an actual canton of those mmn brunchPM drops Excuse me for what I shouldn't say if it can go between three久 path and threevation and acu, registry ofلةphin prose. ok Betsey, who's named after myoma, God rest her soul up there in heaven. Our black coachin', Betsey, she normally gives us one egg a week in the winter. And then Ricky and Julian, we named them after the trailer park boys. Julian, and I know chickens are females, the ones that give you eggs, but that's okay. Julian normally gives us, Julian is like so consistent. I should have named one Bubbles, I think I named one of the males Bubbles, but Bubbles is gone unfortunately. But Julian's still kicking, thank God. Please email me at PN casino inzuge a the the the releases uh... we yes instance기를 became scare the shape of them so audience that literally scared the shit To the point where they have like they shit their pants a whole bunch and it basically from what I understand it causes them to think like the world's ending and they it shocks their system so bad they won't lay eggs. Well we hadn't had eggs since the fall since Hurricane Fiona and we were used to getting like I said about you know seven eight eggs a week we only had to buy eggs maybe once a month. Well, since this whole thing happened, eggs went from like six bucks a dozen to seven dollars a dozen to here in Canada, like I'm sure it's cheaper in the States, but here now it's like $8.99 and that's not even for the organic eggs or like the free range eggs. That's just for like the shitty no-name eggs, right? So, thank God this last week I went in there and I keep cleaning out their little chicken areas where they lay and I'm going someday they might someday. Anyways, I went in there and frickin' Julian had laid an egg and even Betsy laid an egg the next day.

The Out Pinball In a new Finland you know their houses were destroyed Like destroyed Like their livelihood is gone Do you think they want to move back there and chance that again Of course not So they moving to the interior getting the hell off the coast There was I mean probably the saddest story was like an older lady who was in her house who I we don know what happened to her but like after the storm her house was down to just the beams and they never found her or they never found any part like the rest of her house or her car or anything She lived right by the side of the ocean I have gone way off topic as usual Let's get back into it. We have to talk about my pin turn that I hired for TPF. I want to finish talking about some things. There was two things left in the five rat and one bat. Okay, there was two. So what I was talking about before was obviously the art was incredible. I do like the fact that there is, you know, well that I would say the ball lock holder, the ball lock holder was very cool. The three ball ball lock holder. You've heard me talk about before how I love in the Avengers.entes announced wow for your first c er I'm not sure, but in one of them. And I do like that staging area, so that would be the fourth thing that I like. And the fifth thing that I like, and in this one there were two things I kind of thought about, the fifth thing that I liked, I do like that thing between the flippers. Now, will this extend how long the game is played? Yes, but with proper coding it won't be overused, hopefully. It's not like you get a free one each game, and there is still some skill to it, to those of you who, if you have to press a button. Now, of course, the other thing I thought about was the diverter and actually having a manual physical diverter like they do in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles if it ever worked. I've only played one and it wasn't working, but if you have a manual diverter and you're able to use your flipper to obviously switch it, I think that's really cool. That's really fun. The same way I said with Scooby when they had that opportunity up there to you affect the ball Back blev br 然後 ruhld willing to go ne elbows abondgue rajals Imagines behind the UVA there� cheg 입ال Rena blenderunbeh to chat hope to know Call up by anithing The I don't know. I don't know. But what I did really like is, like I said, the artwork. I like that knob that comes up between the thing. I like the staging area on Galactic Tank Force. And the fifth and final thing, and I think this is important, I really liked how, I didn't like how in like the little pictures we saw, the grainy pictures of how the actual tank looked. I didn't really like how it looked. Now, do I like it enough that I want to have it in my arcade? No. But I'll tell you this. If you have a location and you have Galactic Tank Force at the very end of your row and everybody can see that, especially if you're a location not so much like a bar arcade but more like a Dave and Buster's or like any arcade where children frequent, I'm telling you right now that this could be very similar to I think Toy Story 4 was the calling card and I still hear to this day Toy Story 4 makes more on location than probably 90% if not 95% of pins even though it's already been out for almost a year. It makes a lot, right? And so I think Galactic Tank Force would be similar to that. If you own a location that was frequented by families, especially that had children, you know, like my 15 year old son, little Orby, he's not going to care about that. Okay. But like, I think like, you know, 12 year olds, 11 year olds and under, they might be like, Oh, what is this cool tank over here? Cool. Like it kind of looks like a kitty. Like I said, it looks like you're, I don't know, like when you walk through like, um, you know, the stores that have all the kitty beds and We have the one bed that's shaped like a race car. They have another bed that's shaped like a starship or like a spaceship. It kind of gives me those vibes. I'm sure it's higher quality than that. I'm not saying this to be begrudging or being rude about it. And when it's all folded down, does it look hella cool? Yes. But are you really, just answer this question, are you really, every time after you finish playing a game, are you going to take the time and energy to unhook everything and fold it down and put the thing, of course you're not. T Shit oci Shona. Thank you. 5 enhances I leather of this week pipe got completely mountain maybe a tank implement and just like when you look no tomorrow you know how you only see out of a small alivize a little like one foot by six inch area either out at that one foot by six inch arab歌 talk about having an approval machine I'm not sure if you've ever played a pinball in a different mode. I thought it was the opposite of Tommy Pinball, Tommy Pinball, these blinds come out and you don't see the flippers. I thought you basically just got to see the flippers for maybe one of the modes. But of course it's not automated and that really doesn't, it's kind of hokey, doesn't make sense. But I thought there would be something cool with the tank. And they didn't even mention the fact, like, they spent more time telling you how cool the wire forms were for it than that it turns into a tank. revelations heading into N- founding ofC,Fort.MtlheyThere are several greater than X long ending in salud operations Canada will систat building PSA era New York In a good way, in a good way, in a kiddie arcade, okay? In a good way. Here's my question. Am I down to fuck with it? Am I DTF for GTF? The answer is yes! I would fuck with it. If I saw that at an arcade, any arcade I can think of on the entire east coast of Canada, I would run up to it first and play it. I would. Would I keep playing it over and over and over again? I don't know. I don't know. By looking at it, does it look like it has lots of flow? Hells no. I'm sorry. Now, maybe it does have lots of flow, but we didn't see that in the video. So it's not flowy. It's got tons of stop and go. It's got a lot of shots where it's like the main shot bounces just back of your flippers constantly if you're trying to beat the tank. That doesn't seem fun. I mean, I think because that middle part post is there, it will help you. And I'm glad to see that. Okay, is this the best ever American pinball machine? Hands down, I believe yes. It's definitely 100% the best art package. The most unique shots in mechs. Okay, I'm just trying to think of like Houdini right now. Houdini might have more mechs that like affect the ball where it shoots the ball and then it goes into the little theater there. It's shooting the ball across the playfield is game over like that's one of the best mechs in all pinball. Like when you see that happen, that's a whoa moment like your your jaw drops to the ground the first time it happens and if you're not ready for it like you're almost just like you're not even paying attention when the ball comes back at you, right? The I do like the target that moves There was a couple other it looked like the pop bumpers were kind of slow I don't know if they recorded that and slow-mo or not It also looked like when the ball hit the spinner Good God the spinner looked like you know how some spinners are like super juiced up like juicy fruit It's gonna move you you got the taste that gets right to you • • Whereas with this, like, I don't know. They do need to probably... I'm not saying they have to grab a straight down the middle even though I think that would work great. There's obviously other people who do great videos. The videos that are done for Jersey Jack are fantastic. I don't think the video was, like, horrible and I think the way that they shot the gameplay was fine. Or it was actually, like, good. But I didn't understand why they thought we, the consumer, would give a rat's ass about seeing, like, English subtitle What kind of The big brown melons. What is it? Something melons. Oh, it's for juicy melons. Okay, not quite as over sexualized as that but Fine, okay fine if you have it has to be that way great I don't think there's too many people that like are that turned on by a girl licking an ice cream with the sprinkles But we didn't know who was the master. We didn't know who was like the one girls the leader of the agents But is she fighting that other girl or is that other girl on her like they just didn't tell me the story I'm not excited at all. I'm excited to play the pin because it's a new pin and it's Jon Norris and it looks cool. I'm excited to play the pin because there's some unique shots in it and there's some implementation like that the stand-up post between the flippers that we haven't seen for a while. I'm excited to try it because it's got that target that moves back and forth and if that's coded correctly that will be really fun and exciting. Right, but I'm not that excited to play it because I don't know what the storyline is. Out Pinball, Franchi� They had so much potential with all these live action actors and I will say this I was very excited I pulled up the article here and I always do like I did much on the last show I do want to see more women working in pinball Jessica Derballa Hopefully I said your name right? She helped launch her first game apparently she does the coding as well as helps with some of the live action video and stuff like that We saw so very little of the animations and that was the thing. I wanted to see more animations. I wanted to see more shots. I wanted to see gameplay. I wanted to see the tank go up and down. Those were like the three things I wanted to see in the gameplay release. The teaser that they've been teasing for weeks was like gonna come out on the 22nd and I didn't see any of the top three things I wanted to see. I don't know, okay, I don't know if the animations were in the top three but probably in the top five and the little animations that we saw were good. But they weren't great? I don't know, they were pretty good! Like, yeah, but maybe the other animations are incredible, but we just haven't seen them. They were like, okay, like they were better than the Houdini animations, which I found simple but very effective and fun. They were definitely better than the Beerfest ones or Oktoberfest or whatever. Were they better than like Stern's worst animations? Probably better than Aerosmith? You know what I mean? But like, they weren't, they're not captivating me Now mind you, the girl just graduated! So don't get mad at me, okay, Jessica? You did a great job for your first time it seems like. I just think maybe Jessica could have done an even better job if she had like a master animation specialist who obviously would cost a bit more, but like if she was working under someone to help implement her ideas. Because all of the ideas she probably had for the animations are great, the problem is the implementation of them until you've been, you know, doing this for years after school. The best example I I have is like my first two years after graduating from business school, I had no freaking clue about marketing or advertising. You really don't, you think you're learning about that when you're in school until you actually, you know, until you use those theories until I had worked at TD Canada Trust as a financial services expert for a couple years and got that under my belt and helped hundreds of small businesses. I didn't really fully understand really, you know, I didn't really get it. And I think that she's done as good of a job I also think they are the best animations they have ever had at American Pinball. I also don't think what we have seen so far is like, it's not wowing me. It's good. It's good. And I'm glad they are doing it but it's not wowing me and I wanted to be wowed. We have to be wowed. That's the problem. If again, I said this before, if Galactic Tank Force came out with all we have seen now, I think it sells 50% more. 50% more will sell if it came out three months ago. For our concern, shifting outунáveis. Some. Any. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the game, but I think it's a game about catchinging either, I don't know, it wasn't aliens, but it's kind of about catching like a bad dude, you know, another game about doing similar things with similar vibes to that. I think that if it came out before Scooby and before Foo, it would have sold a shots ton more and I still think it will do fine. I think because they did limit that high end model to 200, there's people that absolutely need it. Part of what I didn't understand and I read through it several times, what is the difference between like the $14,000 one and the $18,000 one? The only thing I could tell is you get a signed apron, which is nice, but let's be honest, all of us, all of you listeners listening right now, you could take a, you could easily just take yourself an apron from any game you want and you could get Christopher Franchi to sign it at TPF. You could get Jon Norris to sign it. I'm not sure if I can get that to work. Dave Fix, who knows, might even sign it with his mustache. Put a little bit of watercolor in his mustache there. I'm just kidding, I don't know, I love your mustache, Dave Fix. But I think that from a marketing standpoint, the release was like, they're trying. So I want to congratulate them for trying. They did get us excited, but honestly, in the video, You needed to show us even if it was just stop animation you needed to with it kind of spinning and going all the way up and all the way down right Think about the magic that if if if Zack and Greg from straight down the middle were able to do the video of Galactic Tank Force think about how less hokey it would be I think Zack would say keep your live this is what I guessing he would say or Greg right Would say keep your live action shorts for you know your little snippets and for your storytelling of the game maybe release that early but let us do the gameplay video and let concentrate on the gameplay because it the best playing game it looks to be from American Pinball ever It certainly better than Hot Wheels right I mean come on Uh, but the same reason that Hot Wheels was kind of a miss, not just because of the sounds, but because of the lack of ramps, the lack of flips, and just kind of a strange code. Uh, I think that this is kind of a miss because you spend, from a marketing standpoint, because it seems like there's fun callouts in the game. Don't get me wrong. We didn't hear a lot of them. They are telling us there's awesome animations in the game, but we didn't see any of them or certainly not the awesome ones. And the coolest part of the whole thing is that the pin transforms, and we didn't see that either. So it's like we didn't see all the new cool revolutionary stuff in there, at the very least. A ten second video or fifteen second video at the end of Jon Norris going, Cool, well I guess we're done with the teaser video. And he packs it up and turns it into a tank and walks out the door. Or pretends to get in and go, and he's driving the tank out, right? Like just something. You guys are going to spend all that time and energy and money on putting people in costume and putting them in air? It looked to me like the TPF guy and Steven Bowden were in like either an airplane or like a motorcycle? I'm not really sure. But why spend all that time and energy but not put anyone in a tank or make it look like anyone's driving the tank even if they just put it on like a dolly or like one of the flat dollies with the four wheels at the bottom and they were moving the pin just jokingly while you had Steven Bowden sitting in a chair behind it so it looked like he was driving. He was like pretending to hit bumps and be like, oh we're driving. I'm going into battle with the Galactic Tank Force! Like if he was doing something like that it would have been just so awesome but instead I feel like it was a little bit of a swing and a miss but I could be wrong and I'm not gonna lie I want to be honest everybody here I have been I have asked Mr. David Fix to come on the show and Dave Fix if you're not available it's okay you can give me a Steven Bowden you can give me a Christopher Franchi I want to have Franchi on the show for other reasons anyways but at this point I am still trying to get Dave Fix I know probably no chance he's gonna be able to come on the show. I hope you don't think I went too easy on Galactic Tank Force because I think I was pretty fair about it. The one bad though that I have to talk about, and Dayfix don't knock him on the show because I'm mentioning this okay, I think the pricing was too high. I think the lowest end version needed to be less. I think the middle end version needed to be less. And I think that high end version that's limited to 200 to charge whatever 30,000 Canadian, 33,000 Australian. • C Largo 00 preachingええ Türkiyeג� tampoco 데Judge I love toys, I love lunchboxes, I love collectibles, but I think that that is too much. PinballAustralia did just post that there's only two left. I don't know if they mean two for Australia or two in the world, but if they're down to two left, I guess I'm wrong and they priced it perfectly, but I would be shocked. I would be shocked, and I know you've heard people say it before, but if you're going to TPF or you're going to MGC, I hope that you kept your money on you. I hope you didn't spend it all. I'm not saying this is former service advisor for TD Kandatrust. I'm not a fan of Albert Agar. This is not financial advice. I'm saying play them all first. Sometimes when you see a pinball machine, it doesn't look as good in person as it did in the video. Sometimes when you see a pinball machine, it looks more rad than you thought it would, right? It can go both ways. It can go both ways. Go there, play them all. I will say that the one thing that the least rad thing was the pricing. I think to charge an extra three and a half... Think about it this way. I was thinking about this.

The only skin that I have in the game is that I eat, sleep, breathe pinball and I want all the pinball companies to be more successful. I want all the pinball companies to make better pins. As far as I'm concerned, Foo Fighters is by far, by leaps and bounds, the best pinball machine to come out recently. It not only had the best launch, it's got the best music, it's got the best art. I'm sorry Franchi, I think Zombie Yeti's Foo Fighters artwork is a little bit better, but I know Franchi's been busy and he can only do what he's given. Like, if Franchi was, you know, given the opportunity at Stern to do Foo Fighters, who knows, maybe it would be better than Yeti's, I don't know. But I think that the Foo Fighters pinball art is my favorite. A close second is probably GTA Tpf. My third favorite is definitely Pulp Fiction. I think the Pulp Fiction artwork was done very, very well. The shots on Pulp Fiction look fun. Go back and listen to my episode with Rachel Risto to hear me talk about Pulp Fiction though. But here it is. I've got to tell you that just this morning I was about to do a pinball podcast that said Tpf. Pin turn wanted. But I decided to reach out to my old friend, Glenn the Skateboarder. or I'm going to give you a mission at the end of this as well. So just because you're not Glenn, don't stop listening just quite yet. I will say as far as the, you know what, I'm going to save that. I'm going to talk about the Jack Danger interview at the end of this. Okay. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. We talked about that. Let's see here. I did write some notes out this time, so I didn't forget it. Here we go. So the number one thing that I want you to do, my dude, Glenn the Skateboarder, the number one thing that I want you to do, it's really, really, really easy. I want you to try, play as many of these machines as you can, as many as you can. If you don't get to all of them, the lines are too long, don't wreck your day, like prioritize friendships and relationships and going out to have fun over doing these missions, Glenn. I don't, the whole point of these missions is to make your TPF more fun, but play as many of these pins as you can. Scooby, Pulp Fiction, GTF, Godfather, and Elowen's Bond as well as Final Resistance Resistance. Play those five pins and I just want either quick notes or verbal, just quick, five rad, one bad for each. Like, I liked the artwork, I liked this, I liked this, but I didn't like this one shot, I thought it was too tight, or whatever. Right? And don't say like, oh I hated the lineup for GTF, it was like four and a half hours and I ran out of beer and, I already know that's happening. The lineups are going to be long. We've opened the cages, the floodgates are gone, the pandemic's for the most part gone. People are just out there, they're having fun. People have wanted to get out to the twippies is running live for the first time in three years. That will be very interesting. Glenn, your first mission is to play as many of those pins as you can and just either in audio form or just write down and send it to me in a Facebook Messenger. Either or, whichever you prefer, your five rad and your one bad. It can be super short, doesn't have to be long. Number two, I want you to find my man Jack Danger and don't ask him to be on the show. Rachel Risto already did that for me. I've already asked him twice. I asked three times. I didn't pass that. Nah, nah, nah, nah. I don't beg. I don't beg. Bear in mind, Jack Danger's already done my show and he's super fricking busy. And Jack Danger owes me nothing. Just because I subscribed to his Twitch channel for a year or two, or I think like a year and a half. Just because I've sent him, you know, tons of biddies on there, just because I have faithfully tuned in to Deadflip for years and years and years and spent thousands of hours watching, he doesn't owe me anything, who cares? But I am his biggest fan, so you have to say to Jack Danger, uh, Orbital Albert or Orby or whatever, call me Albert, I don't care, he knows who I, I think he calls me Alby sometimes, um, you can say Alby, you can say Orbital Albert, you can say Orby, you can say Albert Agar, I don't care, say whatever you want, you know? He says, Your biggest fan, my buddy, Orbital Albert, would love to have you on the show. Or you just say he thinks it'd be really rad if you came on the show. You don't have to ask him, will you go on his show and wait for a yes or no? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Jack Danger already knows. I just think it's funny to remind him. And I also kind of think it's kind of like a little bit of a running, you know, he's playing it hard to get. The only other guy I tried to get on my show, and this is in like 522 episodes, I've tried to look at it. I've interviewed about a hundred and seventy five times. Mind you like sixty of them were short little interviews from sixty of them were short little interviews but even like last year I had twenty five people on my show like I interviewed more people probably than everyone else other than maybe Jeff Teolson PinballProfile I don't know I would have to count how many people he interviewed last year but from an interview standpoint I've had more frickin people more pinball nerds on this show than probably any www.離입 попад有 bzw educators Link in the video description → → ← ← You can ask him whatever you want, Glenn, but also tell him Orby loves you, he's your biggest fan, and he thinks it'd be rad if he came on the show to talk about Foo Fighters Pinball. Boom! That's it. Easy. Simple. Number three, maybe even easier. My man Franchi. You gotta find my man Franchi, Mr. Christopher Franchi, and you gotta give him—hopefully he doesn't listen to this episode before it comes out because I know he does listen to a lot of my episodes—but you gotta give my man—obviously ask him first, put your arms out like you're going to hug him and ask him if it's okay if you give him a hug, but when you get in there, give him an uncomfortably 0uishéce refer moraxse redeem and here's for a PDF document to each bid for an expectation or Studio link at the bottom of the transcript box 0uire иэ неueлт,ふ banks есцtime вінinghtcsdy, Now you're não me dev 이건stad œациона fish wipe out the not here, hil Olácos, Champion of eif. Number four on this list, I want you to get a selfie with either Orbital Albert or Algar Albert Agar. My last name is Agar. Of course, Algar is a very well-known game. I'm guessing someone will have it there either in competition or on the floor. Orbital one you see all the time. So get a selfie with one of those two bins, perhaps the easiest or even the hardest. Now, I already thought about it. If those are all missing instead of Albie, which is what Jack Danger lovingly calls me, you could get a picture with Ali. Okay, like Muhammad Ali. So that's that's one of those three pins get a selfie with. Maybe tag me, maybe throw it on the Pinball Nerds Podcast Facebook page, maybe tag me, put on a personal, I don't care, do something like that. All right, and number five, Glenn, this one is the hardest and yet the funniest. To celebrate Drew and Ian totally being back, I want you to find any tribe member, any other tribe member who's there. I've heard of several are going so any of the tribe members that are there, and you have to get them. This is a tricky part, you have to get them to sing doesn't have to be the whole fucking song, but just I wonder what's inside your butthole, oh I wonder what's inside your butthole, is it astronauts or aliens or ice cream or GTFs, I wonder what's inside your TPF, you just have to get them to sing like two sentences of that song with you and then again either, well I would prefer you to say welcome back Drunean, right, we missed you guys and throw it on the poor man's either the tribe page, Facebook page or throw it on the poor man's pinball podcast fan page. I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did, please like, subscribe, and share it with your friends. Thanks for watching. See you next time. Still kein The JanetалиWindet wrote of 8-8 and her There is much more to see! Your number one mission is to ask Jack Danger, say, Orbitale Albert is your biggest fan and it'd be rad if you did the Pinball Nerds Podcast with him to talk about how awesome Foo Fighters is, and don't harass him about it or anything just say that lovingly nicely. Don't even ask him for a yes or no. And then the number two thing is, because I know Jack Danger will be busy as hell so I don't want to bug him extra there and then he doesn't do the show, right? But the number two thing is, if you see Glenn say thanks for doing Orbitale Albert's theme song and all the awesome rad music you do for Pinball Podcasting. And that's it! Until next time pinball nerds, remember to GTF!
