Uh-oh, we're in trouble. Something's come along and it's burst our bubble. Uh-oh, we're in trouble. Gotta get home quick, march on the double. Sit up, sit up, sit up, sit up, sit up, sit up, sit up. All right, the wait is finally over. Not you getting a podcast from Canada about this game, But the way to see Harry Potter pinball, probably the most anticipated pinball machine in the history of Jersey Jack pinball, 12 years plus in the making. The passion from the team came through in the featurette video I just watched. And I've been really taking my time about this show because I wanted to absorb as much as I could. I wanted to hear from them. I wanted to read people's response to this game on Pinside. I wanted to look at the game, look at the features, and look at everything we know to date. Look at the price. Look at the art. Look at the mechanisms. Look at the video. Look at the, or hear the sound. And I wanted to gather as much as I could before I formulated my own opinion. Now, before I go into all this stuff, and I can't wait to share with you how I feel about this game, I just want to say, you know, they're going to sell a ton of these machines. Theme alone is going to move this game. Theme alone. It doesn't matter about the artwork. We're going to talk about it. It doesn't matter about mechanisms. It doesn't matter about anything they went over in the featurette. You make a Harry Potter pinball machine. You make it available for sale. and it's going to sell. Like, I absolutely think this game is going to be on every location site in the world. I think it's going to be in a lot of people's homes. I think a lot of people that grew up with these books and these movies are going to buy this game. It will be the best selling game in the history of Jersey Jack pinball easily, easily. OK, so I'm really happy for Jack that he got this license. I think it was extremely difficult to get. I'm happy that when you watch the featurette video, the passion of the team, Eric's personal story about his not wife at the time, future wife, going to drive an hour. I don't know how you could live an hour from a bookstore, but apparently that's how long it takes in Wisconsin to go find a bookstore from where he was. And, you know, it's just great to see all of these people feeling so passionate about a game. Because in the end, I mean this, in the end, what people buy into, and this happens in my industry, it happens in life. People don't buy into your ideas. They don't buy the tactics. And you know what I'm saying? Like a tactic in the pinball world is a mechanism. A tactic in the pinball world is a mode. What they buy into, and there's not enough of this in pinball, what they buy into is the passion of the people. They want to support the people that they connect with over the energy and the passion and the enthusiasm. That is why a company like Spooky Pinball, you know, could put out sometimes like B-level games and they sell them because people connect with the passion of the team over there. So I just want to say as someone who's spent over 25 years working on ideas and in the creative field, which is a hard industry to be in because it's very subjective, people have very strong opinions about the things you will create. I just want to say it was great seeing the level of passion by this team. And I really, really, really feel like a lot of people out there. It just makes you feel good seeing people in this kind of mood, making this kind of thing and giving it to us. It's an honor to sometimes be able to buy something that is someone's heart and soul went into it. it's almost like you're absorbing a little bit of their dream, their lifelong dream, and they've made it a tangible thing you can now own. Okay. So I just want to say on that level, I'm very happy for this team. I also want to say on another level, I think this community is maybe the most gaslit community I've ever seen. I really mean this. And I'm going to talk about it through the context of the game. And what I mean by that, and this is the thing, it's like words to me matter, like words matter. And if you're going to say stuff, and this is the other thing, when I was watching the featurette video, I felt deja vu to avatar a little bit video. Cause I was like, here we go again. Like they're kind of saying things and using words that are very hyperbolic. Like they're very dramatic. Like you're going to have the most intense match of quidditch ever. OK, and then you see it. You're like, are you seeing the most intense thing you've seen in a pinball action sequence or like some sort of dramatic movement of the ball? OK, we're going to get into it. I'm going to get into it. But I just want to say words matter. And so when you use words like the most intense and you use words like ultra limited, when you use words like loaded and packed, like you start using these words. and people are saying stuff like, this is the most loaded game ever. And I'm like, okay, well, let me ask those people who are saying this game is packed. If this game is packed, then what is Twilight Zone? What is Theater of Magic? What is Godzilla? What is Wizard of Oz? What is dialed in? How are we just throwing words out that should mean something? And what's amazing to me as someone who's covered this hobby for 12 years and knows the products intimately of the last 30, 40 years, what's interesting to me. And again, the reason I use the word gaslit is again, it's because I just think sometimes when a new game comes out and it's not just this game. I think when a new game comes out, people look at it in a vacuum like nothing else has ever come out. Like, what are we even comparing stuff to anymore? And I just want to say on a broad stroke level, what I think has happened in pinball and these companies have been very successful changing the perspective of the buyer and changing the expectations of what we expect to see under that glass. They've changed it. See, in the 90s, these games were made to be so magical under the glass because in the 90s, they had to put so much physical world under glass to pull you away from arcade machines. Remember, they had to get people's attention away from stuff like Street Fighter and Donkey Kong and Punch-Out and Daytona USA and Mad Dog McCree and Dragon's Lair and Tron. You know, think about all the games that were in an arcade back in the 90s, Neo Geo, everything that was in there, they needed to get money. And so by doing that, they packed those machines with so much mechanical wow, that, you know, when you stood over it, you were like, OMG, like, I wonder what that does. OMG, look at that. And they didn't have an LCD screen. Now, times have changed. Where games are packed now is not under the glass. Where these games are packed now, and this is the shift that's happened in pinball. They're packed now in the software, in the code, right? 96 mini modes in this game. Yeah, 96. That is insane. And if you're a Harry Potter fan, that's awesome, right? You want to see all the scenes from the movie. You want to experience all those memorable moments. And this game has it all, right? So it is like an encyclopedia of all the moments of Harry Potter. So that's incredible. I'm just that alone. If you're a Potter fan and you hear 96 modes of all the moments I love, you're buying this game. You could turn this podcast off right now. It doesn't matter. And you should buy it. and you should enjoy it and nothing anybody says in this world should ever take away from your enjoyment of the thing you love and they're giving you 96 modes that's incredible there's not 96 modes in twilight zone or indiana jones or star trek the next generation right toad in like those games get old real fast because you can get through everything medieval madness you know attack from Mars 96. That's like every single Bally Williams game combined in one Jersey Jack game. So you're getting your money's worth in the software area. Somebody had to code those 96 modes. I mean, think about that. The team of people that had to do that, that had to make all the lights sync up with each sequence of that mode The ton of people that had to create the music David Thiel music He had to do something for every one of those modes That where the to is going to now And so I hope as you hear this podcast, people, you understand I'm just observing what I think has happened in this hobby. And I'm also not angry or mad. I'm not screaming about any of this. It doesn't bother me anymore. I just think what we have now as a product is so different than what it used to be, but we don't know how to change the verbiage. And that's the thing that I think is really interesting that nobody else really even wants to address. Like none of the other content creators like talk like this. They either say like nasty stuff about the game. Like I saw one of them was like, this is clown puke. Like, come on, like, are we really resorting to like juvenile ways to insult a product like this? I think we can all grow up a little bit and just talk about it in a much more mature way. So I just think that so much has changed, but we haven't changed the way we talk about games. And is this game packed? It's yes and no. Like this game is packed with software, but it's not packed mechanically. But when people say this game is packed and the way that phrase has typically been used is to say that it's got a lot of mechanical and physical wow in the game. It's got a lot of toys. And I just want to say, no, on that level, this game is pretty barren. And it's more of what people were telling me, that this game is more Godfather and Avatar than it is Pirates of the Caribbean. And that's the truth. If you think I'm wrong, then tell me. In this game, mechanically, the most impressive item in the game is a ball diverter. Okay, it spins, it diverts the ball, the staircase, it diverts it 13 different ways. What I love about Jersey Jack is they always like go overboard with numbers that almost make you feel more overwhelmed than excited. Like I don't really need 13 different ball paths. Like I get a lot of excitement out of the ramp in toad in that I think diverts the ball three different ways. But the three different ways it goes are very magical. 13 to me isn't enjoyable because it's too many. It's like I kind of want to have somewhat of a sense of I'm going to know where the ball is going to go. OK, so 13 different ways the ball can go. Okay, after that mech, where is the next wow mechanism in the game? I'll wait. I'll wait for all those people on pin side that said this game is loaded. It's packed. There's so much in it. It's a home run. They knocked it out of the park. Okay, what's the next thing? I'll wait. Okay, tell me. What is the next thing? Is it the balls being locked on the wands? Is that a magical wow moment where it passes through the cauldron? it's just dropping a ball through the cauldron that's it the ball doesn't disappear in that cauldron it should have if this was made in the 90s there would have been like a disappearing magnet you're telling me that the balls couldn't go into a cauldron and then disappear for a little bit like you're mixing the different elements in the cauldron isn't that what a cauldron is you put the different items in you mix them together and then it creates a potion is that happening here? Is it going into a subway where the balls will appear somewhere else in the playfield? Is there even a subway in this game? No. Is there even a magnet in this game? I don't even think so. So is that the next wow mechanism? How about the high flying quidditch upper playfield? Okay. What's happening up there? Is that loaded? Is that magical? Is that a wow like the upper playfield in Pirates of the Caribbean? Are you feeling it there, people? I don't know, right? Is it the Death Eater pointing his wand at you, which isn't even a bash toy? You're hitting a drop target that just drops down and then you lock the ball. Ladies and gentlemen, and that's it. There's nothing else. So again, it's empty. There's more physical stuff in Avatar than this game. And everybody complained about that as being empty. And then they see Harry Potter and then they say it's one of the most loaded games they've ever seen. The problem when you're gaslit is that it's effective. They've effectively done it to the entire pinball community. Anyone who thinks otherwise is bullied out of the conversation. And that to me is the greatest marketing achievement in the history of all of pinball, is they got a community to believe that these mechs are indicative of a loaded pinball machine. This is Harry Potter, people. This is a game that's about wizards and magic and stuff happening in front of your eyes that makes the unbelievable believable, that creates moments of drama and tension. And look, there's stuff in this game I really like, But all of it is software driven. When you're fighting that Death Eater and it's making the flippers go haywire. I love stuff like that. Like that's a pinball moment. I bet this game is going to have interesting moments like that. But my fear is this. Because there's not that much in it mechanically, then there's only so much you can make happen via software. Everything else will happen up on the screen. And as I'm looking at the screen, people, I'm seeing like flashbacks to Wizard of Oz, though, like there's seven things happening at once on the screen. No, there's eight things. There's seven things happening around the video clips. And then there's the video clips in the middle. Eight things at once on a screen in a pinball machine. eight, when you played Lord of the Rings, there was one thing going on on the screen. One, it was showing you some dot matrix version of a scene in the movie. And that was it. It was like, that is what you were looking at and your score. And so then what you were absorbing when you played was the call outs, the music, the gameplay, the toys. And so for people saying like, this is better than Lord of the Rings? There is more in Lord of the Rings mechanically that is wow than is in Harry Potter. Is there any mech in Harry Potter that is more magical than the ring in Lord of the Rings? And Lord of the Rings is $5,500. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to tell you right now, I think all we're witnessing is just, this is modern pinball now. Again, it doesn't upset me. Like it really doesn't. Like it's just changed. Like the game has changed. It's gone from a physical, mechanical WoW game to a software WoW game. And it's just different. And again, the reason why that's happened is so obvious. Home buyers want more of the software because it gives you more replay value. Hello, 96 modes. Are you really going to ever be able to experience 96 modes in an arcade on location? I mean, imagine walking into Bally Williams in the mid-90s. and they've got Twilight Zone, and some dude walks in and is like, you know what would make this game better with all this mechanical stuff? If we put 96 modes into this game. I mean, seriously, imagine if someone said that. Like, they'd be like, dude, leave, leave, get out of here. We're doing two modes per area of the game, and that's it. You know, get out of here. So, like, it's just changed, and I think you could be two types of people. You could be the kind of person that just screams at the clouds and is mad that the world has changed. There's social media now. I don't like it, but if I woke up every day and complained about social media, it would put me in a bad mood. So my point is, I think everyone's been gaslit, but I also just think you have to make a decision now in pinball. You don't have to make a decision whether or not you need to buy this game right now because there's zero FOMO. We're going to talk about that in a second, but I think you just have to make a decision. This is modern pinball. Like the games are going to be super expensive. The stuff that's going to be packed in them is going to be the audio, the video, the software, the modes, 96 modes. I was like, this game needs a Dungeons and Dragons thing where you can save your progress. I'm a little bit worried that you're never going to get through this game. That's one of those Jersey Jack things they do is they make the game so damn deep and complex that you never see most of it. I'm a little bit worried about that. Like, is this a three ball game or a 36 ball game to see those 96 modes of gameplay? But hey, look, it's just changed. That's what makes a game packed. When I saw the featurette video and they started out with the artwork, remember, you always start with your most impressive thing So I knew right away I like here we go Here we go like the fact that they starting with art leads me to believe they know they don have a lot magically to talk about when it comes to the mechs right it was funny that Eric was like he wasn't even realizing how many ball paths it had he's like did he say 13 again guys it's like not like you got a 13 inch wee wee in your pants It's 13 different ball paths. Again, like how many ball paths does the magic trunk have in Theater of Magic? Not 13, but the three to four that it does have and the three to four things that it does do are way more magical than what's happening in that rotating staircase. All right. And look, you could cancel your subscription. I hope you don't. I'm not being negative. I'm just trying to call it like I see it. And when I read pin side, what I've noticed is you've got a lot of men who need this. Like they need this. They need to feel something. And even if the thing doesn't really deliver, they simply will convince themselves that it has because pinball is really meaningful to all of us. And we all have a relationship with it. And we walk into every new game release wanting to feel like a kid again. Now, if this game makes you feel like a kid again, then that's amazing. And that's really all it needs to do. Everybody needs to decide, do I need this for $10,000 to $15,000? Should I order one? Is it giving me enough value? And look, I'm just going to say this from a pure asset standpoint. Yeah, like, holy cow, they got Harry Potter. That's where the value is. You can actually play a Harry Potter pinball machine that's not homebrew, that is going to have so much in it that you are never going to get bored of the game. It looks like it shoots fine. It doesn't look like a clunk fest like GNR. You're going to have so much in it. You're absolutely going to get your value's worth. It looks beautiful. I love both art packages for different reasons. I do. Hearing Eric talk about that CE art package would just make me want that one. It's so clear how much meaning it has. And again, that's what you're buying. I've never heard of that artist. I've never read the books. But when I hear Eric talk about how much it meant to get that art on the game, how he wrote a letter and didn't know if he could even get them and they wrote back even just the letter part I love. I mean, was it an email or like a physical letter? Who knows? Right. Who cares? Right. But now that's the version I want. You know why? Because you know what I'm buying for $15,000? I'm buying that story. That's marketing. That's what it is. If you've ever wondered what Canada does and what marketing is all about and how marketing matters, that's marketing. Is there any story behind the King Kong artwork that makes you feel anything? Is there? Like, was there ever a story? like was Zombie Eddie like, yeah, you know, I wrote the Empire State Building a letter and I wasn't sure they were going to let me use their image. No, because they didn't even illustrate the Empire State Building because Stern was too cheap to get the license. And that's my thing about King Kong versus this. King Kong is a way more mechanically impressive game than Harry Potter. King Kong will shoot better than Harry Potter. You know this. But what King Kong doesn't have is a story. It doesn't. It doesn't have anything interesting you want to hear about. So after like a few days, you're kind of over it. It's yesterday's news. But this game has a story. There's a story behind everything. There's a story behind how long it took to get the license. There's a story behind all the work David Thiel put into the music, the thousands of hours to get to the final product, the thousands of hours. So that's what you're buying, people. And I think sometimes it's easy to even indict the barren playfields and say it's crap it's not worth it come on someone's doing all that work in the music section someone's doing all that graphic work you know what I'm saying like there's still thousands of hours going into the product and that's not free labor it's just not thousands of hours going into designing a mechanism and that's the difference between 90s pinball and pinball today. And I think this is one of the most honest shows I've ever done. I think if we start to look at pinball this way, we can start to maybe just appreciate modern pinball a little bit differently than the old pinball. Now, look, for this money, you know me. I think we should get both. I do think we should get both. I just don't think we are. And again, you could wake up every day and complain about what's in the world, or you could just accept what's in the world and find a way to enjoy it. Now, don't worry, I'm not going to become a shill. Every other content creator is going to shill this machine to the cows come home. You know it. You know it. Okay. I just, I can't. I can't. It's just going to be nauseating listening to all the people just gush over what's not really physically in the game. I can't. I can't take it. I don't know what you're seeing. I ain't seeing lobster and steak, guys. I'm seeing just french fries here okay okay so the artwork i like both editions the topper on the game is not that great and you know what i know something internally that not everybody knows i know that they tried to get leor to do the topper they weren't in love with that topper they wanted leor to make it and it was just too late in the development to do that i was expecting more of a sculpt it looks a little plasticky and cheap. The topper on the LE gag is so cheap. And I was in Pinside and someone was like, it's really nice to see they're doing layer toppers. Guys, it's two pieces of plastic next to each other. Are you not grown men who have actually bought something of quality? Do you have no taste? This is my real worry about the pinball community. I'm just worried the community doesn't have style or taste like they don't. And I can tell because they all crapped on the CE artwork. It's beautiful. It really is. It is a work of art and everybody crapped on it. So that tells me that the cargo pants wearing community doesn't really get or even want to walk up to art. Guys, part of what makes art interesting is that it doesn't immediately telegraph what the art piece is about. Do you understand? Like that's what art's meant to do. It's meant to make you think and look at it and analyze it and then, you know, see things and discover things within the artistic piece. That's art. Okay. If it's just the characters and it's got the logo, that's a movie poster. Okay. And I get that movie poster is made up of art, but good art, right? Art that lasts the test of time are not movie posters. You don't go in a museum and see movie posters. You see stuff that makes you think, stuff that's a little bit more abstract, stuff that's a little bit deeper. And they did that. And I give them credit for doing it. And I love it. And if I was buying this game, I'd be buying a CE version of this game. But what I don't like is that Jersey Jack, all of this added up, right? The passion, the love, the conversation, the featurette, all of it. I love all of that passion. What I don't like and what I will never like is the sleazy sales tactic they are doing with the collector's edition. Because as I said before, words matter. They are right now taking non-refundable deposits on what is being billed as in ultra limited made to order version. Okay. Just think about what those words mean. Ultra limited. Okay. In the world of pinball right now, limited, limited edition in every game ever made by every company out there on the planet. Limited means a thousand or less. Okay. That is what we're at right now in the world of pinball. It used to be 500 was the limited version number. Then it was a thousand. So when you say you're ultra limited, that connotes to me much less than a thousand. Okay. So what is it? No, there is no number. So they're lying to us. That is a flat out lie and then made to order. Okay. So think about that. So they're saying, all right, what is it? Is it bespoke and custom? Because they could just say that. They could just say, our collector's edition is made to order. If they had said that, I would appreciate it. That is telling the truth. But that doesn't mean it's ultra limited. By combining those two phrases, Jersey Jack is once again lying to us. And I mean it. It's a lie because they don't know it's ultra limited but by saying it is is a lie if it was truly ultra limited they would put a number on it and they're not they don't even have a window we were all told there was going to be a window by which we were going to know we had a place in order and what they going to do now is they just going to like see what happens They going to move the goalposts in the middle of the game If the game is selling great, they're just going to keep the order banks open and they're not even going to mention it. And then what's going to happen is this like six months from now or a year from now when thousands have been ordered or whatever the number is, they're going to say, all right, final call, like final sale on the collector's editions. We're going to stop taking orders at this date, but that's not going to happen this week. It's not going to happen next week. And then the ultra limited thing is going to be a lie because when they reveal how many they finally made, it's not going to be limited. It's going to be everywhere. Okay. So that's my thing about buying this game right now. What's the point in buying a CE right now? If I were you, I would just buy the $10,000 version and see if you like the game. And then you'll be able to get an ultra limited version. If you really want the CE, they're going to be everywhere and they're going to be way cheaper than 15. I mean, none of these versions are going to hold much value. And here's the other part. Why would you order the game now? You don't know what you don't know about the game. And after I watch the featurette, you got to listen to their language, people. For those of you saying that there's not going to be muted clips in this game, you need to go back and watch how they talked about Avatar. They said they had everything. How they talked about Toy Story 4. They said they had everything. How they had everything in Willy Wonka. They're speaking in very similar tongues to the way they said stuff about those games. And I can just see, by the way, the clips are on the center of that screen. I also don't like the fact that you've got the movie clips. Put them on the full screen. It's so annoying that you've got all this other stuff. Just show the movie. Like what I love about Guns N' Roses assets is the way it takes up the whole screen. It just looks so good. Like framing this multi-billion dollar movie franchise clips with all this pinball stuff is just not how I would do it. But I'm still not sure how many clips, you know, because they talk about how we've got the individuals, you know, voice files. And then I get worried because I'm like, why would you need to think about this? Why would you need to separate all that? When you look at Jaws, it just plays you what the movie is. When you look at Star Wars, it plays you what the movie is. When you look at Batman, it just plays you the clips from the TV show. So the reason why Eric said that and the reason why I'm nervous is the reason why they're separating it is because they don't have it synced up to all those scenes because they're going to use the call outs. But you're not going to see the actors say those iconic lines in the scenes themselves. You might hear them, but they're not going to sync it up again. I don't know, but history has shown us that there will be much more muted stuff happening. What I want to see in this game is what we see in Jaws and in The Big Lebowski. When you get into those 96 moments of the movie and it's a sequence, right? Like Harry and his friends are doing something. I want them to be talking to each other like they do in the movie. And then I want them to be progressing through that moment in the movie. And I want to hear it. I want to see it. I want the voices to be synced up. And I want to feel like I just went through that moment from the story. I don't want it to be a repeated muted clip of the scene, which I think it's going to be. And I think all of David's music is when they start saying stuff like that gang, get ready for like a muted masterpiece, because when they say that David's orchestration is going to happen over all of those moments, that means they're not just going to play the movie. They're going to have the orchestration going because that's what happened with Avatar. Instead of hearing all those characters and when they're screaming in the battles, you don't hear their screams. It's all muted because you're hearing the orchestration. You're not hearing the movie. The movie has orchestration in every scene in the movie. There's music playing along with the dialogue. So I'm just telling you, if you ordered already and think you're getting 96 synced up video modes from the film. Prepare to be disappointed. Oh God, everybody, how you doing? Where's Predator? If I were the Pinball Brothers, I'd drop Predator now because I'm just going to say this. I think Predator is going to have more mechanical wow in it than Harry Potter. It's just not going to have Arnold. Again, everything's a compromise now. Everything's a compromise. If I were you again, buy the $10,000 edition. I did not even mention everything's in the $10,000 edition. That really matters. Everything. It's the same game. And again, I knew it when it was all going to be the same game that there wasn't going to be a lot of mechanical wow in the game because there was not going to be anything to take out. Think about it. What could you actually take out of this game? If you don't take out the diverter, there's nothing else. Oh, we're going to take out a drop target? No. You're going to take out a pass through cauldron? No. You're going to take out just wire forms from the quidditch area? There was nothing to remove. Nothing, gang. Come on. Come on, this is modern pinball. It's empty. It's barren. It's barren. And then go on Pinside and count the amount of times people say this game is loaded and they're referring to the physical stuff in the game. It's crazy. It's crazy. Everybody look. Happy Friday. I love being your go-to pinball podcaster. I love talking to you about this. I think my private school education, if it taught me anything, it's how to think critically about stuff, but also deliver back in a hopefully well-articulated way. And I just wish there was a little bit more of this, a lot more of this maybe in pinball. I think everybody, again, just wants to feel more excited than they truly are. And there's that little honeymoon period when a game launches. And that used to be the window of FOMO. And then there was like a limited number of games you had to go get. I don't see any FOMO here. I encourage everybody to play the machine. This game is going to be everywhere. It's going to be at every show other than the Northwest Pinball Show. Poor guys out there. They were advertising they were going to have this, and now they don't. There's got to be a story why Ken is no longer at Jersey Jack. That's interesting. To me, that's the most interesting story. The whole time I was hearing these guys talk, I'm like, man, I really just want to know what happened to Ken. More so than Eric driving an hour to a bookstore, which I did appreciate. It looked like he was about to cry at the end. I will say, Eric, I love stories like that that make grown men want to cry. But also, I just got to say this. This is my final point. Like, most of this hobby are men. And I was just thinking, like, yeah, all this 20 minutes of grown men, you know, dressed in a way, something about the medieval background with this polished Harry Potter world and seeing these guys in like baseball caps just doesn't go together, right? It's just like weird. I would have made it so they just wore something a little bit more appropriate for the theme. Details matter. How you show up to the pitch matters. Like if I am trying to sell you a $15,000 item, I might not have the baseball cap on for that. Okay. It's Eric's style. It's like Slash top hat. I'm just saying, like, I'm just having fun, by the way. All this is just meant to entertain you. let Canada be the jester in the corner as this company makes millions of dollars off of this game and I have to beg people to give me five dollars a month everybody I love you thanks for the support I might make this a free show I do and the reason why is I just want everybody to hear my take everybody at Jersey Jack I put a lot of thought into this and I hope people if you're listening to this and you're not a member of Canada's Pinball Podcast I think you should be so thank you though for being a member and it means a lot to me everybody enjoy your one life and spend the money on stuff that makes you happy if this game makes you happy and you see the value and i think there is the value is in like i said all the software all the music that's where the money is in the ip in the artwork it's just not in the mechanical stuff that's modern pinball and i would stop doing this show if i woke up and seeing a game like this made me go crazy it doesn't that's it. That's it. You know, if this game doesn't blow me away, it doesn't make me angry, I think it's going to give a lot of fun to Harry Potter fans. And I think my assessment was pretty fair. Let me know what you think at canadapinball at gmail.com. And obviously join tomorrow or Sunday when we do the Spectacular and we could talk live a lot about Harry Potter. Can't wait to hear your thoughts. So make sure you hang out there. It'll probably be Sunday because I think tomorrow is going to be t-ball maybe i'll do it tonight i might do it tonight so look out for a canada friday evening harry potter discussion spectacular i needed a better name but it's six in the morning people and i want to get you some content to chew on later We're in trouble Something's come along And it's burst our bubble We're in trouble
