What is that stuff? Well, let's see. That says something in Spanish. And that's a fly. Whoa! Spanish fly. This is Spanish fly. What's that? That's like a aster-desiac. It, like, makes people who drink it want to score. Yeah, but I already want to score. So do I, Beavis. But wouldn't it be a better world if everyone was like us? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, then everyone would be scoring all the time. Beavis, we could make the world a better place. Coming to you from beautiful upstate New York, this is the Slam Tilt Podcast, a show about all things pinball. I'm your host, Ron Hallett, here with the other host, Bruce Nightingale.

All right. If you're coming to stomp or not. That's right. The famous stomp tournament is upcoming. This is episode 256. Yes. This is the original stomp, which next year will be moved a little bit later. Oh, it will be? Yes, it will be. I'm glad I'm being informed. Yes. Well, you've got a year's knowledge. That's good. Oh, a year's knowledge. I don't think that's the right term, but yes. What does Zach say? Zach, we're changing stomp from June to September. Oh, your stomp. No, no, sorry. September. Sorry. Wrong. Okay. Stomp is going earlier. Uh-huh. It's going to be in April. Uh-huh. So it's cooler and we have, you know, kind of nice Carl Weathers. Uh-huh. And then Fall Brawl will be in September. Uh-huh. And then Stomp, the other one, will be in October. Okay. So it's going to be cooler in your house. Uh-huh. Right? All right. As long as it's, you know, obviously not Expo weekend, but. It's not going to be Expo weekend, I promise. Okay. Well, it can't be because you'll have to have it somewhere else. No, let's have Dad open the Halley's up. Oh, yes. We're opening the fucking place. Yes. How are we looking for that? Anyone drop out? We've had three people drop out. Two people have filled the spots already, and we're waiting on the third person to get back to us ASAP. Because I think the first person in the wait list was our former champion. And he is in. Oh, he is in now. Okay. Yes. He has to sign the fire hydrant. Yes, he does. I don't think he signed the fire hydrant. No one knows what we're talking about. So let's move on. This weekend, stomp! No, let's move on to the thing everyone wants to talk about. Stomp! No. Star Wars, I'm talking. At least you get shoot the Death Star. Yes, you do. Shoot the Death Star. Yes, shoot the Death Star. And it looks like the button is only meant to ball save, which is going to be awesome. Oh, the action button. Yeah, the action button. Okay. Thank God. Star Wars. The fucking multipliers and molded shoulder fucking shit. This was a weird reveal. It was real. I think they were clustered a little bit. I think they jumped a gun, and then I think they had licensing issues. Usually they have a teaser trailer. Yes. Which we did have one. We just had a blank Star Wars. Maybe a few days later, maybe a week later, we'll have the full trailer. And then there's the media day and all that. This time they had the teaser trailer. Well, they had the teaser trailer, which showed nothing other than the name. And then we had nothing. The day of the media day, we got notified. Well, nothing for weeks. For two weeks. Yeah, two and a half weeks. And then there was an email, which we got. Yep. We're thrilled to invite you to an exclusive pinball media showing at our office of our upcoming Cornerstone game, Star Wars, Fall of the Empire. No. No, we actually got the email. I got it right here. We got it on August 27th. Okay. Why didn't you tell me this stuff? It's in the ball bag. Do you ever look at the ball bag? I always look at my ball bag. Obviously, you didn't look at this ball bag. ah wrong ball bag uh so thanks for inviting us stern thank you i could not make it because i work and it would have been like 400 for plane ticket to go there for one day one day what day was it actually was it this past yes september 10th last week yeah could you have made it bruce would you have been there let me say hold on looking looking at these looks god no oh not on Wednesday. Wednesday is so bad. Here's the other thing, though. Usually, they'll show it like Monday or Tuesday, like the full trailer, and then the media comes in, whatever, the media day. This time, like kind of last second, they had the media, people all had to sign NDAs because they couldn't reveal it until the 12th on Friday. That was weird. They're obviously having fun with our favorite, you know, my favorite, Disney, because we all love Disney. Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down, the medicine go down. Is that from some Disney movie? Yes, it is. I don't know. I'm not good with the Disney movies. Believe it or not, I have not seen a lot of Disney. Now, if I was to guess. Now, hold on. It's not a cartoon movie. No, no, no, no, no, no. Well, it is partially a cartoon movie. Is it Mary Poppins? Yes. No, it's, yeah, Mary Poppins. Yes, yes, with Dick Van Dyke, who's still alive. Julie Andrews. Yes. Also. Who is, is she still alive? Yes, she is. Well, there you go. Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I can't say it. But, yeah. Yeah, Disney. I hate Disney, by the way. Did I mention that? I've never heard you say that. Uh-huh. Julie Andrews is 89. There you go. The same age that Robert Redford was, who just died. Yes, I know. And Dick Van Dyke is 99, if I remember correctly. Yeah, he's almost 100. 99. Yeah. His birthday is in December. Will he be dead before? Will he do the Betty White? No, he'll make it. He'll make it. He's going to make it? He's going to make it. Hopefully he doesn't do the Betty White on us. Robert Redford, I just watched some Natural. I watched the Natural. Yes, that's awesome. I love that fucking movie. Hat in the Sting. Both awesome movies. There you go. Roy Hopps. The greatest hitter ever lived, baby. Yep. It was nice that he actually played college ball so he could actually swing a bat and throw a ball. Actually swing a bat, yeah. And it looked correct. It didn't look like someone who'd never thrown a ball before. Do you know what the stadium was that they filmed that in? It was like a minor league stadium somewhere. It was a minor league stadium. Which one? It had lights, which it wouldn't have had in the late 30s because the first night game was in 1940 or something like that. Yeah. I don't know, Bruce. What was it? Rochester? Nope. Buffalo. Oh. The War Memorial. Oh. Yep. There you go. That's their minor league stadium. It looked like a great stadium, actually. It was like, wow. Is it still there? Nice big stadium. No, they tore it down for the new stadium. Oh. Yep. That's what always happens. You know, just tear down the old shit. tear everything down tear down the walls but you know this star wars thing yeah you know he's not getting star wars europe yes and the middle east and um who else uh africa they are not getting star wars what the fuck it uh we're not getting that fucking star oh yeah that's right italy's not getting it oh no what the fuck it uh hey this is fucking bullshit man now stern has said if you're like in europe and you really want one let your distributor know yes so they can try to get the licensing yeah oh yeah yeah it sounds something has to have that name well it's well the thing is mandalorian was available in europe yeah previous star wars was available in europe the whole edition is available in europe but i guess i heard disney they changed their licensing recently or something and now it's all like different uh zones different regions they're very good yeah zones what the hell is i thinking regions yes and i guess that's they don't want it there or they think they don't need it there they're probably like hey didn't one of these just come out yeah but yeah um so it's star wars fall of the empire uh it's the original trilogy again we guess what we knew it well out of the eight star wars games i think six of them have been the original trilogy yes what's who aren't uh empire strikes back no that's the original trilogy. Oh, sorry. Episode one. And much more recent. You have it there at the beautiful Rochester Pinball Collective. Mandalorian. Yes, the Mandalorian. At 349 West Commercial Street, East Rochester, New York. Suite number 2965. You like that? With over 80 games on location. I remember when you guys were under 50 and that was the whole thing. I know. We pushed for 50. Now we have 80. Yes, you guys are insane. again i want to push again stop pushing push it out shove it out way out so it finally was revealed on friday yes yes there was one kind of slight leak i think one of the uh somebody or whatever i think they thought they were editing and they actually posted it yeah whoopsie yeah they might not be invited again now. No. But the thing, it was a partial shot of the side of the cabin. It didn't really show anything. So it showed an Ewok riding a speeder. And everyone was like, Ewok riding a speeder? It's like, have you seen the third movie? I know, the third movie. He literally gets on it and runs and distracts the short. Yeah. Hey, hey, where are you going? Hey! After him! So what's your opinion of Ewoks? Cash grab from George Lucas trying to sell merchandise. I know, but at the time, what was your opinion? Oh, I hated him. I hated him. Really? Okay. Well, you are older than me. Yes. I was nine years old. I thought they were fine. Nope. Fucking Willow. I didn't need no fucking Willow in that. I watched Willow. That's one of the Ewoks is Willow. No. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. I will bet you $100 right now. I will bet you $100. Yep. It's like Wicket or something. It's not Willow. It's the guy from Willow who was in the outfit. There's only one midget in the fucking Willow. So you won then? I won. Even though it wasn't the day. I won because he was in Willow. Warwick Davis. Warwick Davis. He's also Leprechaun, too. Yeah, that was his first role. Yes. Yeah, he was like a kid. Yes. He's the one who has the cool, like he filmed all this stuff while he was behind the scenes. So there's all these behind-the-scenes of the set with Darth Vader, David Prowse in costume, and you got Carrie Fisher in the slave girl outfit. Oh, yeah. Oh, my. Yes, yes. It's just pretty neat to see that. Yeah. But, yes, it was not Willow. It was the guy from Willow. It was the guy from Willow. Okay, that's close enough. I never seen Willow. Neither have I. So we're one for one on that one. We're one for one on that one. Finally. So before we get into the game, I just have to put this out here. It is not as good as the original My Book is Stard. Hey, you know who's getting the machine? Who? The Rochester Pimple Collective. Of course they are. You know where we're getting it from? Where, Bruce? Guess where. Come on, I said where are we getting it from? Is it Flip N Out Pinball? It is from Flip N Out Pinball. Zach is making it. We buy from Zach. Go, Zach. Yay. Are you getting a banner? We have a banner. We've had a banner for years. Yeah, but there's got to be a new Star Wars banner, right? Oh, well, we'll get one when we have the launch party. Uh-huh. Your Schwartz is as big as mine. Okay. So, yeah, I have to. What's your complaint? My complaint. I've listened to a lot of media on this game now I've listened to none so see this is good Bruce have you at least watched the damn videos? I have watched the videos I have not watched the gameplay video but I've watched the videos so when I watched the videos and they kept saying the AT-AT oh I know and I'm like what the fuck is that literally I was confused of what the hell that meant and then they showed it And it's like, oh, the AT-AT? Yeah. Have you ever heard the term AT-AT? Yes. From Star Wars people, that's how they call them in the books. Okay. Have you ever heard that term from anyone our age who actually watched the original trilogy? Yes. Yes. Really? But I've heard it both ways. The Walkers and then also AT-ATs because I've collected a lot of toys. Well, all right. Let's see. What does Kenner have to say about this? I don't know. Let's see. I feel like I'm freaking 12 years old now. Yeah. And here's the thing. I had that toy. Yeah, so did I. I had the AT-AT. Now, what's the other one? What's the smaller one? It's the AT something or other. Yeah, it's AT. Okay, but here's the thing. In the movie, they're called. Like STD. STD. In the movie, they're called Imperial Walkers. Imperial Walkers. The only reason they were called AT-ATs was to sell toys. Yes, of course. That's why, like the other... All-terrain armored transport. That's what AT-AT means. It's like, what's the name of the stupid Jabba's pet there that takes out C-3PO's eye? Oh, I... Is it a salacious crumb or something? Yeah, salacious claw. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, salacious claw. Nobody knew what it was. Yeah, that's not his name. In the movie, he doesn't have a name. No. But again, you've got to sell merchandise. You've got to sell the Kenner. You've got to give him a name. Yeah. You know Marvin the Martian from Warner Brothers? He wasn't called that until like the 60s. The originals, it was just The Martian. Martian. So, yeah. And The Monster. The Monster. Oh, yes, The Monster, which was later, what did they call it later? I forget. Gossamer. Gossamer, yes. But it was The Monster. But it was just Monster, yeah. So Imperial Walkers is technically the correct term. But for the purposes of 1981 toy commercials, for kids like me who bought the thing, It's a fucking AT-AT. Yes. All right. All-terrain armored transport. Yes. And there was a two-legged version. Yes, the AT-ST. It was in Empire for like a split second. Yes, it was. It was in the snow. And then in Return of the Jedi, it's actually in the air. They use a lot. Yeah, obviously. But don't forget the AT-AT was also in Return of the Jedi also. An AT-AT? Yes. Wait, where was the AT-AT? Well, was it parked? Nope. That's when Luke got captured and they brought in the Vader. Adat was walking up and went right to the base. Yes, the door opened on the side. Are you sure about that? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I got it right here. I could just bring it up. Go ahead. Let's see. So what do you think, folks? Is he going to be right on this one? I thought it was just kind of parked in the background. You're saying it was actually moving. Yes, it was actually. It moved right to the thing, and then the doors opened up, and that's when Luke came out, and Vader was waiting for him. That's when he was captured. Well, he let himself be captured. Yes, of course, but that's when he was, as I'm putting the air quotes up, captured. He only had this with him, and it was the lightsaber. Okay, this is exciting, folks. Yes, see how. Yes. I don't know. Can you hear that at all? You probably can't hear that. Good. Because that would be distracting. And let me mute it here. All right. Oh, God. I'd have to find this clip. It's close to the... It's like two-thirds in. Two-thirds, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. Yep, right there. I got the shot right there. Okay, hold on. It moves two steps. Oh, two steps. Okay, maybe that's why I thought it was like... And then it goes to the base, and he walks along the base, and then he meets Vader. There we go. Okay, there he is. Come on, man. I'm probably killing my connection here doing this somehow. I'm probably destroying like – yeah, like Vader's not even moving here. What the hell? Come on. Yeah, this won't even play. Jesus Christ. Never mind. Okay, I'll take your word for it. Yep. I probably just ruined the whole recording. You may start your landing. Sure. Yeah, I feel kind of bad for the rebels at Hoth because they have these big guns that do nothing to any of the machinery. Oh, yeah, they have the big thing that looks like a radar, and they fire it, and it doesn't do anything. It just slams into it. Yeah, it's like, why the fuck did you even put this up? But yet little tow cables can take them out Yes Use your harpoon It not tow cable It a harpoon Yes Dak will take him out Yes Use your harpoon It not a toe cable It a harpoon Yes Dak will take him out I feel like I could take on the whole Empire by myself Oh, Dak has got this one. I'm sorry. I'm going into the family guy thing. Oh, Danny's dead. Go suck on some Dak. And they just blow up. Yes. Oh, God. I remember Return of the Jedi as a kid watching that thinking the very beginning, it's like, Death Star again? We're doing this again. Even as a nine-year-old, I'm thinking like, is Death Star back? But they blew it up. So they're just building another one. And they build another one later on. Oh, they do? Yeah, it's called the planet. Oh, the planet that destroys other planets. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. We won't talk about those movies. They don't exist. they don't exist so i i heard people complain like they didn't make it about something other than the original trilogy they need to make it something that will sell oh i would love to see andor i would love to see andor andor is fucking awesome i know everyone says andor is great but i no one would know any of the characters i know but it'll be so fucking good and have you seen andor nope i won't what how about your illegal way of getting movies would you see it then no really my illegal way i know how you do it uh i actually i can i can watch it in a perfectly legal way because my my dad has like disney whatever disney plus yes disney plus you need to sit down and watch it it is like the seat no it's the seedy backside of the empire of course it really is the seedy backside of the empire people please message in if you think I'm not saying it might not be good. Oh, it's fucking awesome. I have no interest anymore. I moved on. I don't need the Star Wars world. Awesome. It makes like Mandalorian look like fucking shit, kiddie shit. Kiddie shit. Except for Luke coming in. That's the only thing that was good in Mandalorian, Luke coming in. Which they had someone who did a better job with the CGI on that. Yes. And then they hired him. But, yeah, Star Wars. So Star Wars, three versions. We got the Pro, Premium, and Ellie. Same price. The price hasn't changed in like three years. I was very surprised with that. I'm going to give kudos to Stern. Oh, my God. Hold on. My recording might screw up. Hold on. I want to make sure I get that. Say that again. Kudos to Stern for not raising the price, even though you now put a bigger screen on there. You put a new system in. Very impressed. Kudos. Yes, they put a Raspberry Pi in there now. Yes. And how many coils do we have in this game? Oh, God. The coil count? The coil count. We need the coil count. I saw on Pinside someone actually wanted to make a list like, what games have the most coils? I'm like, hey, you're ripping off our thing. You're ripping off our fucking gimmick. So I have the feature matrix here, but I can't zoom in on it, so I can't read anything. Great. So it has three different art packages. It looks like the, what is it, the pro is, like the Endor, Yes. Ewoks and stuff. The premium is like the Empire. Mm-hmm. And Ellie is Hoth. That's Hoth. The Hoth looks pretty nice. I will say the Hoth looks nice, but yeah. Yeah, I ain't going to be able to do that one. Yeah, it's got larger monitor, upgraded speakers. Supposedly it sounds better. I'll have to play one of these in person. Well, probably at the RPC, because when I play the next ball, I won't be able to hear shit. Yeah, you won't. What are the other enhancements in the backbox? I'm trying to think. Other than Spike 3. Yeah, Spike 3, bigger screen, better speakers. Supposedly the next game will have the cabinet enhancements, whatever they may be. Yes, the different cabinet now. This is like. And think about it. This is a rare game. It's going to be the last one with the rare. it's also the second game stern is done where they have the expression lighting available on on the well it comes in the le yeah you can get it on the premium but not the pro i know just like Foo Fighters which is the only other one i think the other ones was it led zeppelin yeah rush um and what's the john wick yeah i believe you can get though the expression lighting on the pro you can't do it on this one yeah i don't know why it's i guarantee it's a cost thing plus the fact that they have the speaker lighting now and that is available on the pro that's kind of their cop out like hey you still can get that you know expression lighting but just for the speakers fooled you uh so i tell me what you think here the overhead shot when i saw the overhead shot of the playfield it reminded me of sega i was getting sega vibes from this That's good. That's what it should be. The big inserts everywhere. I thought this looked like a mid-'90s Sega game. Okay, and? I liked it. I thought it looked really good. Well, you hate the other Star Wars, so you're just going to like anything on this one. Yes, I will. Yeah, exactly. I knew it. Well, the only thing I don't like is the Sarlacc bowl. That's pretty cheesy. The Sarlacc, the ball sack? Yeah, the ball bowl. The ball sack bowl? Yeah, and the hyperspace looks a little cheesy also. The ball sack bowl, as I'm going to call it, at least put a decal on it. Yeah. To make it look like the pit, you know, with teeth or something. Yeah, like something coming out of it. I mean, it literally is just a stock Whirlpool part. It's probably the same one they used, like, on Mustang and shit. Come on. I know. Hey, hey, hey, got a chance to use this shit, man. Speaking of stock, the Millennium Falcon looks familiar. Yep. That looks like the same one that was on the other Star Wars game. and people are saying like the like the darth vader and stormtrooper heads that are on there are the same ones and it's yeah the type looks the same on the shooter the shooter rod yeah typewriter they made sure it wasn't on a spring nope no because everyone hated that so now it doesn't move at all i think the darth vader head looks so cheesy though it just doesn't need it i know it's a shot for darth vader but it's still like oh that's kind of cheesy looking yeah i remember back in the day when i got my when i got my um at at i also had the full empire strikes back action figure collection with the darth vader carrying case you get the c-3po one but who the fuck wants that come on you get darth vader come on you gotta get dark fader um what else let's talk about the game yeah the game so it's you get to shoot the death star you get to shoot the death star again which is in the same spot it was in the other game yes i fucking i was so happy i saw that i was like fucking finally we can shoot the death star yeah so just like in the 1992 data east star wars also designed by john borg yep you can hit the Death Star and it will open up and then you can lock balls in it. But it seems like there are a lot of spare parts from other games in this one. Like the ramp, the lighted ramp going to the Death Star. It looks like the Rush ramp. Well, speaking of Rush ramp, yeah, with the differences between the Pro and the Premium LE, the Pro doesn't have the center ramp is an up-down ramp, but on the Pro it's just always up, kind of like Rush. Do they all have the drop target the salacious crumb drop target i don't think so i think they do i think they do i don't have the and the pro has the spinners oh maybe that's why it doesn't have the expression lighting because they left the spinners in there i like metallic when they took them out so it's got the spinners but it doesn't have a lot of the other stuff it doesn't have any of this the sculpts it doesn't have the whole cool main like feature with the with the button the force save where you hit the button and it can it can throw the ball like literally into the shooter lane from the from the out lane or it can do the golden eye deal where it comes up between the flippers that's not in the pro nope that's why at our pc we get premiums oh so you're okay you're getting a premium yes of course you are of course we are uh yeah it looked like pretty bare bones the pro model yeah it does it probably it's a good player i'm assuming yes it's a fan fanny fan fan um it looked like it shot good i watched the gameplay they had a gameplay video yep like the second day and had a four player game that took 15 minutes yeah 15 20 minutes that was like okay i hope they always plays like that that would be cool as opposed to you know an hour oh i know i mean i think it'll be fast and fun oh i think so too i'm especially if you're if you're into star wars i mean i'm a jaded old-time fan here because i've just been so much fucking star wars but yeah i'll probably still like it it's way better than mandalorian already that's the way i look at it uh okay yeah i can't say that when i haven't played it but you're saying that already i'm saying it because of the metal ramps and all the other stuff it looks better than those plastic cheesy ramps that was on mandalorian pro for me it looks like it's already good it looks like though it's gonna suck when you hit the uh the ball sack bowl yeah i know it kind of just gonna sit there because it takes a while to go down that whirlpool so i i could see that kind of hurting the flow a bit yeah and it's got like the center shot the up ramp it actually goes airborne into the the backboard it comes around so that's pretty neat so he redid the uh the austin powers center shot there yep more lord of you know the lord of the rings with the ring yeah yeah but you know i i think it's going to be pretty cool i i like it let's see when we get to play it that's the that's gonna be the big thing i think it'll shine most on location even though on location will be the pro missing most of the cooler features i know because the pro i think the pro doesn't have the uh ad ad either it's just like a like it doesn't move it doesn't move it might just be a plastic too it's just fixed Yeah. Big inserts, as you said. Yep. I'm worried about those fucking green arrows, though. I really am worried about those arrows. They're going to throw something, and you're like, fuck you! Yeah, I don't think this will blind you, Bruce. Oh, I'm glad. I'm so fucking glad. Yeah, so you got this game by John Borg. The lead on software on this one is Ray Day. Raymond! Congratulations, guys. Waiting to see it. That's the big thing. trying to think is there anything and when you get c-3po uh call outs uh yes a c-3po impersonator who i guess is the guy that plays c-3po in other games they have chris barlett okay chris barlett that's c-3 he does sound better than the shoot the death star guy shoot the death star yes and he is and he was like the only voice i heard yes that's the only voice i don't mind that I've said that on the show before. I don't mind the games. Like World Cup soccer, literally, it's one guy. Well, there's a couple other costs. But for the most part, it's just Tim Kitts Rowe. Yeah, so LEs are 770 games. 770 games because the first movie came out in 1977. Get it? Yeah. So why would I buy this now when two years from now it's going to be 50 years? Yes. That was the other thing I had on my list. Yes. Why bother getting any of the games now when in two years they will certainly have a 50th anniversary edition that will have different art that will probably be better than any of these art packages? Yep. What I do like is there's a back glass for the premium. Oh, sorry. No, sorry. Sorry. Yeah. They mixed it up. Actually, it's weird how they did that in the descriptions. I'm in the premium one and it says, and the LE has, I'm like, why is the LE information on the premium page? Oh. Okay. Because if you're on the premium page, they figure you might get an LE. Yeah. If you're on the pro page, they figure, nah, you're going to get a pro. I think it's going to be pretty cool. The playfield art was eh. Yeah, it was okay. I wasn't wowed by it. When I hear things like four different artists, it's like, okay, so they had Disney-appointed artists that had to do it. So they probably had to be directed on what to do on a play field. Do you like the sword fight in the middle where they're swinging their swords at each other? Actually, yes. I like the action shot. Yep. With the emperor sitting below. The Yoda eyes, though. That's freaking me out. Yoda's eyes flash and it's, yeah. Instead of having the force, it's like he's possessed by the devil or something. Yeah. You ever think, like Yoda, did he have a bathroom in that hut? Or did he just go outside? I don't know. Did Luke ever, like, hey, I kind of need to take a number two. Where do I go? Out in the woods you must go. Out in the woods you must go. Put your butt over the swamp and shit away. Use the force to make your turds go in a different direction. In hyperspace. Instead of lifting stones, he's lifting turds with the Force. Feel it. Feel the turd. Oh, boy. Anything else about Star Wars? What did you think of the animation? The animation? Yeah. The gameplay video, when you saw it being played, I showed the animation. I mean, it just plays clips from the movies. Yeah. Well, people are complaining about that it's not the proper sizing when you do the scroll for each ball. The scroll for each. Well, I've heard people complain that it's not taking up the whole screen. Yeah, exactly. You start the game, you get the scroll for Star Wars. When you get the ball two, you get Empire. When you get ball three, you get Return of the Jedi. And it's like three-fourths of the scroll, the sides are cut off. What do you say about that, Star Wars boy? um if it's anything like bond was like remember bond licensing they couldn't show any graphics over the actual you know the movie you want to have guns and i'm sorry no well that's it no that's quick but yeah so it could be something as simple as that like the crawl can't have anything in front of it so it had to be shrunk a little bit to have the stuff on the border on the outside I don't know. Or they just not do it the right squaring. And they're afraid it's going to be too small to see when you're looking at it from pinball. I know when I'm playing pinball, I like to look up at the scrolling text. Yes, of course you do. I knew it. Nailed it, boys and girls. Yeah, yeah. So, Ron, being the Star Wars fan that you are, and it is the original trilogy. Yep, the only one that matters, yes. Will this be in if you like to play? You know, if I didn't already have the other one, I'd say maybe, but I already have the other one. Okay, so what if this has a better topper? What if this has, like, Luke? What if it has, like, you know, C-3PO with his hand on R2-D2? I don't think that's happening. Oh, come on. $3,000 toppers, here we come. You know, yeah. Zach Manny's doing it. I think Stern is going to repurpose the one they already did for the other one and just make it work in this one. That's what I think they're doing. What? Why would you? It took forever to get that thing approved. So since it's already approved, it's just why not reuse it? So what do you think of the two pop bumpers in front of the drains? I like at least they're in a different spot. So do I. I really do like that part. Is that Viking that's like that? I'm trying to remember. Yeah. What's the ballet that has the two pop-upers? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but I like that part of it. Let's see how it plays. Yeah. It's Star Wars, baby. It's Star Wars, baby. Now, will they have any more games this year? No. So no Walking Dead, which is the next rumor. January. and what's the other one? Pokemon is the other rumor Pokemon not man Pokemon gotta catch me all okay so Star Wars reveal I got that, no Star Wars for Europe yes, poor Europe although I know at least one guy in Europe I guarantee he's getting a Star Wars okay there were tournaments since we last recorded. Ooh. There were some tournaments. I'll do just a couple quickies here just because I have them up on the screen. And I'm just going by the Never Drains pages. So if there were some other tournaments that happened that aren't on these pages, I'm sorry. So they had Cleapin. That happened. And let's see. My Favorite Division Classics. The winner was Steven Bowden. Hello, Steve. Congratulations, Steve. uh and then a division the winner was jack slovacek i think that's how you say his name so congratulations winners f cleepin and let's see then we had pinball at the lab in california yep and the winner there was Zach McCarthy. God, how many tournaments is he playing in? Shouldn't he be in college? Oh, damn these kids. God damn it. They just keep on... They got no jobs. They're just living off the life. He got $69 billion on Johnny Mnemonic. That was two balls. Third ball he didn't even have to play. Then Operation Thunder You remember that game Oh yes I do You had it in your basement briefly It the only time I ever played it Yep million he had Holy crap That the one where you can run out of fuel Yes, you run out of fuel. And that happened to one of the players. I'm like, wow, that's actually in there. He ran out of fuel and his flippers went dead. Like, oh. Yep. That's brutal. Love it. Love it. Yes. But the major tournament that happened while we were away was Papa. Yes. Papa 22. electric boogaloo electric boogaloo and we had let's see uh let's see finals we had the women's finals i believe carrie wing won yes yes yes that correct and then we had did we have a classics yes we had classic standings there we go classics finals somewhere where the hell So Ron, if you do get Star Wars, what one would you get? Premium or Pro? Uh, I have to play them honestly, but man, it looks like you're missing a lot of cool shit if you just get the Pro this time. With the other one, it was easier because the cool feature, it was paying the ass to hit it. The damn Death Star and hit that shot and we reject half the time. Hit the Death Star! Shit. Classics finals Let's see the winner was Eric Stone So I guess he's not going to be retiring Anytime soon Nope He's not worthy like I am Yes you keep winning as you're retired I don't understand how that's possible It works The A finals were won by Wait a minute Zach McCarthy again Exactly Yeah and you know when they finished I know Around 2.30 in the morning Yeah, that's too fucking long Yeah, that's too long They played the Kong rounds Anything with Kong, the game would take an hour and a half For one game Yeah And I was thinking about this first As I do Comparing the non-sport Of pinball to other non-sports Like golf Or bowling And just how different it is than other non-sport sports. Let me explain, Bruce. Say I was going to have a golf tournament, right? Like a one-day golf tournament, local golf tournament. And for some reason, somehow, Scotty Scheffler, the number one player in the world, he's going to play in it. I don't know, he's visiting relatives. He's like, sure, I'll play in this thing. What would your reaction be as the organizer? You'd be like, holy shit. I got a big one. Awesome. I hooked the whale, baby. I'm so excited. This is great. Okay. So you're running a one-day bowling tournament, right? Yep. And I don't know. Parker Bone. No, Parker Bone is like 60. No, Jason Belmonte, I'll say because he's Australian. So he listens to the podcast, so he decides to show up and play in this bowling tournament. And you're running this tournament. How would you feel about that? Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah. Yeah. Okay. Let's say you're running a small tournament, a local tournament. Like, say, stop. And you see that, I don't know, maybe Jason Zahler's going to be playing in it. What would your reaction be? Cool. Got a big one. No. My reaction would be like, we're going to be here all night long. All night, all night, all night long. Now I'm thinking, how am I going to have to bastardize these games so they don't play forever? And that, in turn, will piss off everyone else in the tournament. Yes, I know. And pinball is really unique in this regard. Guess what? You know what you've got to do? Classics only? Play better. See, it doesn't matter how good you play. You can play great. The issue is going to be the rounds are going to take too long. It's just going to take too damn long. and that's the problem. I would be at Rock Fantasy and hoping I didn't get in the Final Four if Jason was there because I knew they were going to be going to one in the morning then because he was going to pick all new Sterns and it was going to take forever. And I was always right, and I was always happy to not make finals. Wow. If you feel this way, you can email us at slamtelpodcast at gmail.com. That's slamtelpodcast at gmail.com. But, Ron, don't you want to play the best players in the world to get better? I didn't say I was playing anyone. I'm organizing the tournament. So I'm just thinking, like, oh, God, I am fucked. This thing is going to take forever. Okay, how can we force them to play classics as much as possible? And even that might not work. Because the best players in the world, they don't care. They can play anything forever. I agree. Look at my poor stars. They got abused by... Zach McCarthy again. Yeah, Zach McCarthy. Well, to be fair, even that game was what? Probably under 10 minutes long. Yeah, exactly. Because it's stars, but you can't have stars as every game, of course. Oh, God. Although that would be awesome. All-stars tournament. All-stars all the time. Yes. But, yeah, that's kind of my issue with that. That, I think, is unique. Like, almost anything else, you would be excited. It could be darts. Like we have this dude from Robert Englunds is coming in. That's the best start players, right? I have no idea. And he's like, holy shit, this is awesome. Because it's going to go faster, if anything, with these players here. Pinball is going to take forever. Forever. Forever. Okay, I think that's all I had. I'm ready for the ball back. That's all. No. What about repairs? You've got to talk about how many games you've got ready for stomp. All of them. all of them they're all you're all ready they're all ready already and i i removed the table from the living room it's gone it's gone so that's where we'll set up acdc and what kind of things did i run into did you get spider-man up and running uh no i did not um i had get away that was interesting after i was done with it i'm play testing it and the left sling just stops working like what the fuck and i see that the switch the switch got all man like turned so i fix it play a few more games it does the same thing like what the fuck so i look in there and the reason the switch is getting all screwed up is because there's like a little piece of plastic stuck in the hole like it must have busted off of something and fell in there oh my so i had to get that out, and that took way longer than it should have. And while I was doing that, I had lifted the play field up and forgot I had the balls in there. They all fell out, and I can't find one of them. It's gone. They landed on the floor. They rolled in different directions. I can't find the third one. It disappeared. It's gone. My balls are missing. Now I only have two balls left. Let's see. I played when I was playtesting. I've got to stop playtesting stuff. I'm playtesting Johnny Pneumonic, the glove would not move back. Great. But it moved back when I turned the game on. So I was like, it's got to be the switch. Yep, wire fell off. So I just soldered the wire back on. And we're back. Better than ever. Better than ever. See, anything else? I don't think so. Everything else I think was working. For now. For now. We know that will end. How about at the RPC? What have you been fixing? I've been working on the new project, which is Torpedo Alley. The displays were all screwed up. I knew they were screwed up when I got it, so I bought one of those new boards from Wolfpack, and I'm building that up right now. I brought Monopoly to my company picnic on Sunday, And I brought it back to the RPC Sunday night. Did they enjoy it at the picnic? Yes, the kids were all happy about it. They were playing it up and having a good old time. So that was kind of cool to see. Own it all. Own it all. Who doesn't like Monopoly? You know, that's the best thing about it, you know. It's awesomeness. Awesome. So that was it. Working on Torpedo Alley. Also, I'm going to need a new PPB board. the relay is sticking, and I've cleaned it already once. What does that stand for, Bruce? I don't know what the PPP is. A playfield power board. That's right, yes. But they used to call it a popcorn popper board because it would get so hot. Yeah, it gets so hot that you can burn anything on it. Yay. So I have to get a new PPP board. Once I get that, that will be all up and running, hopefully. Then I've got to get a rubber kit and do flippers and go through everything. What else do we have? We are working. Time Machine has one little issue with a couple of the switches for the targets. So Mark's going to get that ready, and then that will be able to go on the floor. We have like five games in storage ready to go on the floor when it's ready. When they get approved. No, they're already approved. Oh, they're already approved. So what do we got? What's approved? Well, some are going to be taken out, and they're just like cycling back in. So right now, Medieval Madness is in the back. The Troll carriage broke. Luckily, now that they're remaking them for Evil Dead, I have spare parts available again. So I ordered two of those up. Remaking them for Evil Dead. Oh, because Evil Dead is the same. Has Trolls. Dead Egg Trolls, yes. Yes, but it has Troll mech styles. And I was able to, because they were missing for a while. So I got two, just to have one extra. I got to replace that. What else is out there? Zach's working on a Doodle Bug, my favorite game. And Mark's going to be working on Avengers. And then eventually I have to work on a World Cup Soccer. One of our customers is giving us a World Cup Soccer. We're going to swap out the play field on it. Bad flipper wear. Oh, okay. So once I get the play field from him, I'm going to have somebody work on it, and then I'm going to have somebody clear it. And then we'll put it in and hopefully make it freshy, fresh, newy, new. Mm-hmm. Nice. Yes. So that's our fun stuff coming up at our PC. Plus, we have League Nights coming up soon. We have two weeks from now. We have the Western New York Pinball League. so we'll be having fun with that yay exciting exciting how about you ron you have your league coming up soon don't you uh it just ended and then it'll be starting and then it'll be starting again yeah that's what i'm saying it's starting up again yeah yeah eventually yeah yeah that's a ticket yeah there's lots of uh there's there's good turnover now at the location the games change a lot so unfortunately they removed tna which was kind of my go-to game so oh well let's see are you ready for the ball bag bruce i am always ready for my ball bag yes the patented copyrighted male ball bag yes i uh the lawyer the lawyers have been very confident with us lately we're going to be making 10 cents on the dollar uh-huh all right are you ready i'm ready this is from john it says subject uh aspen pinball machine don't buy don't buy this from last time yes yes um this posting has been deleted by its author we're never going to see this thing nope move that to the archived section uh let's see we have a this is from rich this says detraction are you ready for this one i am ready i'm gonna read this exactly the way it's it's written oh boy i have been an avid listener of your podcast for many years but ron really makes it difficult sometimes i know that everyone has their own personality but ron's frequent overly biased attitude towards some of the pinball manufacturers and his senseless vulgarness just weakens the show's legitimacy i had to stop halfway through the last episode as it was just too much i think some minor reflection needs to be done as related to the show's purpose and some professional restraint to help convey that purpose thanks so i don't like anyone taking pot shots at ron because you know ron is i think he got confused no no no no he nailed it right away he definitely you've been very negative lately you've been very negative oh i have huh or maybe he was listening to the wrong podcast maybe he was listening to uh final round final round yeah but uh guess what don't listen don't i i am questioning whether this is that some of the the misspellings and stuff yeah if you're looking at it it kind of makes me think this may not be legitimate yeah and i looked up the name and pinball and google and could not find any hits whatsoever but still i thought that was funny to read me mr mr good cop mr positive but i am the negative one you are the negative one i i hate i've been telling you this all along you know what's my overly biased attitude towards some of the manufacturers what what well you love star wars so he thinks you're a kiss ass so you know we just i i have to agree with him on that one I have to agree with him totally. You're a kiss-ass to Stern and to Disney. And I can't put up with it anymore, Ron. I'm done. I quit. I quit. All right. The next one we have. This is from Jay. Subject is thanks. Okay. Ron is being overly negative to thank. No, I'm just kidding. That's not what it says. It says, hello, Ron and Bruce. I just want to say thanks for putting out a podcast that does not spend every week with an Elwyn is the best game designer ever to exist segment. Who the fuck does that? Come on. He's great. He's great. He's great. I like me some Harry Williams, though. I like me some Mr. Kirk. Oh, and Steve Ritchie. Oh, and Steve Kirk. Yes, if your name is Steve, you're probably pretty good. You're Steve. You're rocking. Rocking into the night. Rocking into the night. Second, not proclaiming every game produced is a bye-bye-bye opportunity. And last, I am really appreciative of you two not referring to yourselves in the third person. Yeah, I never do that about myself. No, I never did that either. Ron would be pissed if I did that about me. Yeah, Bruce would love that. Yes. Stating that you are the best to do it while dressed like an emo teenager on YouTube that's over 30. Gee, I wonder what he's talking about there. I don't know what he's talking about. You've got to tell me that one because I don't know. That would be Chris I would assume he's talking about. Oh, yes. That's it. Mrs. Kaneda. That's it. I'm not kidding. I do appreciate it, Jay. Thank you, Jay. We appreciate you. We will keep doing our best. Yes, we'll keep being an asshole like I always. I'm surrounded by assholes. And still not on Patreon. Thank you. Yes. We're free for you. We're true free. All right. This is from. Oh, this is Eelco. Remember Eelco? Hi, Ron and Bruce. The article of our trip to the Rochester Pinball Collective is finally published in the Dutch Spinner Magazine. I will smuggle a copy to the U.S. in a few weeks and send it to you locally. That will save you a huge tariff bill. Yeah, don't I know it. Yeah. I have a couple Blu-rays from Germany that I can't get now. Like they won't ship them. I know. Because DHL will not ship to the U.S. I know. The past months I added World Cup soccer, hoops, Harlem Globetrotters, and taxi to my collection. How do you find a hoops? Damn it. That hoops could have been mine. It's in Europe, though, so probably not. It is so good to have more variation in my collection. Thanks for the great tips. okay i would always give out the tip uh i would still like to add a classic stern in my collection and that is all your fault fuck yeah finding one is not that easy in the eu what is your ranking of classic sterns which are worth to put in my collection and which ones are no fun at all um meteor i got four no i got four okay meteor stars i said those two because they're the most of them Yeah, exactly. Quicksilver and Stargazer. Yeah, they're going to be two of the most common and two of the least common. Exactly. Which ones are no fun at all? Stingray. Stingray. I don't think you'll have many Ted Nugent's over there, so I don't think that one you'll find. They're not too many. Galaxy. Galaxy's all right. It's just all right. It's just there. I know Zach hates Wildfire. I don't mind Wildfire. Zach hates a lot of things. Yes, he does. That's our Zach. But, yeah, I think Meteor and your Stars would be your best two go-tos to try to find. Let's see. And a second question. Oh, so many questions. So many questions, so many answers. I have room for two more games besides the Classic Stern. Okay. Which two machines are must-haves? What does he have? And no I don have Elton John budget or an Evil Dad is sold out Hmm I mean if you in Europe go for like WPC baby. Yeah, WPC is the way to go. Because they sold a ton of them. They sold the WPCs. So you can find those. System 11, and System 11. Yeah, just go for a little, you could do something like a getaway. Yep. World Cup. Getaway. He already has a World Cup soccer. So getaway. What's another one? Next Generation, you can probably find over there. Demoman. Demoman. Yeah. Go for like the classic 90s. It's hard to go wrong. They didn't make too many stinkers. No. They got like Popeye and Gilligan's Island, Party Zone. But for the most part, I mean, you can avoid the overly priced Lawlers and just get yourself some cheaper Richies. Yeah. Yeah, like T2 also. They're usually not bad price-wise. Yeah, I agree. Thanks a lot, and continue the good work. And if you do another Clusterfuck, I would be very happy to join in. There you go. Very, yeah. I love them, people. Greetings from the terror paradise of Holland. You'll come. Thank you, you'll come. Holland, we are worldwide. We are world famous in Holland. We're nationwide, bro.

When they spell pinball in any way other than one word with a capital P or a lowercase p. Yeah. Any other variation and red flags should come up. This one's spelled lowercase p-i-n, then capital B, then lowercase a-l-l. So pinball with the B capitalized for no apparent reason. Yeah. It says, Antique Aspen Pinball Machine, $3,800 in great condition, calls only, no emails. So, yes, do not buy this. Let's see, next email. Run, run away. Run away, run away. He's a little run away.

Hold on. So I have to go pull up the. You got to pull it, bro. Yes. I'm trying to remember where this truck is in the movie. Two-step. Here we go. I just. Yep, yep. I got you. Yep, I'm allowing. Wow. There you go. I just allowed you. Okay, waiting. Continue. Hey, I'm in. Yeah, I tried a couple days ago, and Ron ignored me. Yeah. Well, I didn't know who it was. I figured it was you, but... He ignored me, everyone. I take it all personally. I was just being secure. Name? Although it is, it does have headlights, working headlights on this. Okay, here we go, I see it. But I'm trying to think of, where is this truck in the movie or the book? Don't know. But do you see it? It's just a truck. I see it now. It's a truck with bananas in the back. Like maybe they're trying to convince King Kong to go a different way and then, you know. Yeah, maybe he's chasing after the truck with bananas in it. Yeah, because maybe. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. I can't really recommend that. Yeah, neither can I. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Security alert. Oh, no. Let me delete that. Yes. I saved this one for last. Oh, yeah, man. It's from Tom. It's Make It Pro. Make It Pro. Make It Pro, number one. The original version, not the rip-off. The original, not the ripped-off one from that final round, rip-off people. Yes. Yeah, they haven't had an episode in a while because they've had to think of new material. The lawsuit's working, baby. You got them so flustered they don't know what to do. They're thinking of their dollars walking out of their pockets. They have to think of original content, and they can't. Yes. Exactly. Good day, fine gentlemen. Good day, sir. Before we get to this episode to make it pro, I would like to request to be added to the lawsuit and placed towards the final round podcast. Fuck yeah! Go sewer. They also, without the express written consent of myself, Slam Tilt, or Major League Baseball, used the Make It Pro segment in the episode in question. This sort of behavior cannot go unpunished. I agree. I totally agree. The next time I'm in the area, I'll stop at the Rochester Pinball Collective, located at 349 West Commercial Street, Suite 2965. second floor in east rochester new york to sign any needed paperwork more money in our pockets baby now let's get down to business you ready to make it pro i'm ready to make it pro number one this is when we have to remove in this case three mechs or features from a game to make it pro Make it pro. The first one's going to be hard. Okay. Bond 60th, which is already a stripped-down game. The hat in the middle. No, no. You've got to leave at least the one main thing. I say you could save a lot of money. Remove the reels. Remove the reels. It doesn't need to have reels. Just regular scoring. Drop targets? Inline drop targets? Yeah, I like the inlines. Does it have other drop targets we can remove and just make stand-ups? We can do that. I think it does. And remove one of the spinners. It doesn't need four, right? It's got four spinners. It doesn't need four. We just need three. We can remove two of them. Yeah, we're really saving some money. We're saving some money. But we'll leave the hat because that's kind of the main gimmick. Mm-hmm. There you go. There you go. We made it pro. The Big Lebowski. Remove the lower play field. Lower and upper. Lower and upper. Holy shit. You're going to make this game suck hard. It's going to suck hard. Wow. Okay, we've removed the lower and upper play field. What else did we remove? And we get rid of the movie clips. Oh, Jesus Christ. We made it. What's the point? We made it Predator. No. We made it Predator. No, Predator has movie clips. No, but not all of them. Instead of making pro, you've made it suck. Hey, no, no. We get rid of the movie clips with the Big Lebowski. We just get rid of all the clips with the Big Lebowski. Oh, no. You get rid of all. No. You don't show Jeff Bridges' face. Yeah, you don't show Jeff Bridges at all, yes. Jeff Bridges, he just cut the top of his head off so you don't see it. Yeah, that's all you do. Yep. See? There you go. I like it. Yeah. I like it. All right. Wow, we're making these games suck really bad. We moved the upper and lower playfields. Yeah, baby. Okay, Apollo 13. 13-ball gimmick. Yeah, remove the 13-ball gimmick. You make it three. Which means you can remove the entire trough thing. yep you can remove the trough you can also remove the rocket because it needs to have the oh yeah you don't need the rockets go up and down and the countdown in the in the center you know the thing that countdowns the nine eight seven six you know you can get rid of that also because you don't have so we've gotten rid of all the main gimmick of the game okay yes yeah done see okay uh let's The end. Adding a twist to make it premium to make it a bit more interesting. Make it a better premium. What changes would you make to the following title to make it a better premium game? Okay. Star Wars. Which one? The old one. The Steve Ritchie one. Make it better? You can't. A better explosion effect for the Death Star than it just cracking open like an egg. Yeah, that would be one, definitely. uh second would be a hyper hyper drive that actually worked yeah so basically when it it comes in an area another magnet to help it yeah just like on um say and opening up and opening up the ramp a little wider so you can actually make the shot to get into hyperspace yeah yeah i'll go with that yeah yeah but like no yeah no fear had the Magnus to help it up. It basically needs something like that just to get it started. What else? Maybe a coil. Better rules. No, stop. Better rules. They're great. Bullshit. Bullshit. Better rules. 95% of people are going right now, fuck yeah, he's right. No. The TIE fighter, it's on a spring. It's on a stick. But put a coil there. Put a coil there. So it gives a little bop, boom, boom, boom, and it flops all over the place when you hit it. There you go. I need to see Princess Leia being pulled by the chain. No, no, you want to see Princess Leia choking Jabba with the chain. Yeah, exactly. First she's getting pulled, and then when you're doing better, she flips the thing. She turns around and she flips it around and pulls him. Do you think Jabba was getting excited there? Oh, yeah. I think he's getting choked. The tail was shaking. I think he was really turned on there. Wow. That's bad, but yes. I thought that forever. Okay. All right. That's it. The ball bag has been emptied. So we have an extra person to sue. I fucking love this. Right now we have two games to play in reserve. so we'll wait until I'm thinking maybe the next episode we can get our Zach on so he can complain about stop which he won't win because he never wins at my house or wins anything yep so he can complain about my game screwing him or how they didn't play right or whatever that he always does yeah can't and if he does win he has to wear the belt so it's a win-win for me he'll never wear the belt he has to wear it about that's the thing where's the rule there's no rule that says you There is a ruling. There's a ruling. Everything in the house rules. Oh, the house rules? Okay. The house rules. When you win, you must wear the belt when you win. And then you don't have to wear it ever again. I'm just thinking, if someone's listening to this, it's the first episode. They're like, what the fuck is Stomp? What are they talking about? Slam, tilt, oh my pinball tournament. Yes. Yes, it's our own local tournament. We have one at Ron's house, which is the original Stomp. And then we have one, which is Stomp West, which is at the Roger Pinball Collective. Which is much larger. Yes. But yes, it's going to be exciting. I can't wait. I can't wait to stream. Hopefully I don't have any issues. This will be the first stream with the new internet, the new improved internet. You get Fiverr? No, I just went to Spectrum and complained because they raised my price, and they took me from like 400 meg to a gig and lowered my price. So it's good to go and complain every once in a while. Yes, it is. And my upload speed is now almost 40 meg. That's it? Yeah. I mean, 10 is what you need for a high-def stream, and that's what I had before. Now I'm like four times that. I know. At the Rochester Pinball Collective, we have cable, and we have 400-400. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah, because you've got a business class, I bet. No. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. You've got a business class. But the building's so old, the coaxial cable in that place has got to be at least 90 years old. The cable can't even make it. The bytes just can't go through it. Maybe that's why we always have trouble streaming there. No, we know why, and we found out why. Remember that salon? Oh, the one store that keeps interfering with our cameras? Yes. We won't have any of that issues here at Level Zero. Ron, when do you want me to come out, Friday night or Saturday morning? What time is it? Well, here's the funny thing. right as we started. Yeah. I will just say this on the air. I got a message from old JT who was wondering if he can crash at my place Friday evening. Jesus Christ. I mean, he can, but we're running out of... We already got the... The bed is in use. And I have the couch. So he'll have to have the other couch. There are multiple couches. I'll have the downstairs couch because that one's more comfortable. Well, and it's also cooler down there so he'd probably like that. Yes, I would. okay sounds like a deal sounds like a deal i took friday off so i can do all my final prep work final prepping yes i'll probably leave my work at 2 30 and i'll probably be at your house around six cool so you're gonna take me out to dinner you're gonna wine me dime me uh sure we can go to a diner it'll be great i love your diner right down the road it's great oh we haven't got to that yet no we haven't gotten that yet fuck uh i think that's all i have did we miss anything about Star Wars? I keep thinking we didn't talk long enough about Star Wars. Seems like everyone else talked longer than we did. Well, I gotta play it and see it. That's the way I'm gonna look at it. Whoa, you gotta play it? You're not just gonna shit on it immediately like you have other games that you haven't played? No. I like the look of this game. I like it. I'm gonna go a little... I'm gonna be a little fanboy. I'm actually excited that Raze got his first lead programming, so I hope he He kicks it in the nuts and knocks it out of the park. You mean other than the Metallica he was the lead on? But he was working on somebody else's code and just improving on it. Okay, so this is the full original. Okay, this is the full, this is the quarterstone. Yes, this is the full Monty, baby. The full Monty, okay. Yes. I'm sure he's loving working with Disney licensing on this game. I hope he, whatever his next game is, I hope he has a more easier license to deal with. because I know when Steve Ritchie was dealing with them, when we had the factory tour, he was our guide. He's like, don't tell anyone, but we call them mucus film here instead of Lucasfilm. They're mucus film. Nice. Yeah. God, I hate Disney. They've ruined everything. So, Ron, you ready to have fun this weekend and have a great old time? I'm going to have a great old time because I won't be playing. It'll be great. Neither will I. We'll have a gay old time.
