I'm your host Retro Ralph. We got an exciting show for you today because there are some major news that rocked the pinball community. I'm going to kill the music because I'm so amped up and excited about this particular show because there's actually a lot of news. There's rumors. There's a whole bunch of stuff going on. So I figured let's just talk about all of it. So even though the main topic is on the thumbnail, there's so many more things that we have to talk about, but I'm going to try to keep it quick like I always do get you in. The following content is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is coincidental and unintentional.

So not only is it geared toward pinball content creators like myself or like Kerry Hardy or like Erica's Pinball Journey or like Don's Pinball Podcast or whoever, pick your person, Kaneda. There's content creator awards so your favorite content creators can win awards and you can vote for them starting here soon. I believe the voting opensup.com The voting will open up on January 3rd. So on January 3rd, I'll probably do a podcast just to announce that the TWiP-y voting is open. And I don't know, maybe I'll be in one of those categories. I don't know. But before I go through all the rest of the categories, I'm actually a host on the show. So I'm going to be co-hosting the show with several other people.

You've got Aaron Seiden, Erica from Erica's Pinball Journey, Rob Rath, you may know him from the Electric Playground, Aaron Davis from Fast Pinball, Ryan Gratzer from Pinballmap, and Will Oding, I think is how you say his name, from This Week in Pinball. So there's a lot of people involved in this. So there's a lot of work to try to put this event together. The event's going to be scheduled to be a live event at Wormhole Pinball in Texas. There are limited tickets available. I will have a link in the description to that so if you want to check that out and be a part of the show and be able to be there live, that's probably going to be the most fun way to enjoy it but it's going to be streamed on YouTube on the Wormhole YouTube channel. So there's a lot of logistics that have to happen here but hey, you got a crack team of people. We're going to make it happen. We're going to make it happen. But I'm very, very honored to be a part of this because there's a history, a rich history of some very big hosts and some very exciting people that you've known for a long time in pinball. Kari Hardy's hosted the show, Emoto's hosted the show, Jack Danger, I believe ToddTucky did at one point if I remember right. But yeah, ZachMini has hosted the show, so lots of people have hosted this show. So to be a part of this is a big deal for me especially because this is something that I've been so passionate about. And really my journey's been a shorter period of time than a lot of people and so to be even part of the show or even be considered to be a part of the show is pretty awesome. mis freshmannoirs insider攻点 �원이, respectfully TAGKE Barb KHar Rice hablarla Center for Trait meat

So this would be like the major manufacturers. Like who's the game of the year? Who had the most innovative game that year? There's a tribute to LymanSheets about the best rules in code. So really cool stuff, right? So I'll go through a couple more. They also recognize the homebrew. We're going to recognize the homebrew and custom game awards.

    Dont and guyz the toppers mods and accessories that's something i love i'm always modding my pinball machine so i'm a big fan of of that so i'm going to be very interested to see who wins that cuz i i've actually participated in and modded a lot of games last year with a lot of the more popular mods from like stumbler uh... electric playground and things like that so i think that's going to be an interesting category to see who wins that there's been so many of these just it's it's crazy to me that the amount of work The most of these people this isn't their full-time job You know they do it on the side or or they would like it to be their full-time job So they invest a lot of time of their own time into making these like amazing modifications for all these pinball machines that we like and It's not easy to do you know I mean they they the time and money and effort it takes to do it I have no idea what kind of return they make on that but Usually a lot of times stuff like that just is for the passion and and isn't necessarily a huge moneymaker But so that'll be interesting to see how that goes The end. And then there's some additional awards, and there will be several sponsors. I think Colin's working on some more sponsors for the show. So yeah, if you're watching this and you want to sponsor the show, definitely reach out to Colin at Kineticist, and he will, I'm sure he would love to hear from you. So yeah, that's the exciting news. The most exciting news to me right now is that the Twippies are back, we're going to be able to vote, and I think being able to even though it's not going to be at Texas Pinball Festival, this is a reboot, you know, give us some time. 22ied b I'm the first person to say goodbye...

    DP spotted, Musiska& 02 всегда kWhoe cTmy stp . L süència I can't see Z c Butler A cella R I'm not sure what's going on with that. So, um, yeah, it's, it's, it's odd because we've heard a lot of games be floated around lately. The one, the one rumor or the hottest rumor that keeps on coming up or the one that seems to have the most backing is Dungeons and Dragons by Stern. But then more recently, you know, and I don't have no idea the validity of this data or information is Canadian The Pinball Podcast said that he felt they were gonna flip the flip-flop those games we've all heard Kong as a rumor for a long time and that that would be a Keith Elwin game and Dungeons and Dragons would be Dwight and
    10:34
    Brian Eddy, so I don't know like that's an interesting one because the rumor is that those games are gonna flip in the timeline and That and just I don't even know you know, just so you know disclaimer I don't know if either one of those are actually happening This is all rumor stuff, but those are pretty strong rumors for Dungeons and Dragons. That's a pretty strong rumor and been one for a while. The Kong thing has floated in and out, so I believe that to be true too. But whether you whether you believe that the timelines are going to be flipped or not, I'm not sure. So the the current rumor is that they're going to accelerate Kong and then put Dungeons and Dragons after it. So if that is the case, if that's actually true, then how I believe this would happen is that CES, which happens in January, I believe CES is January. I used to go to CES every year. I don't really attend that show much anymore because it's more consumer electronics to me. Like, yes, Stern has a presence, but of course the years that I decide not to go, Stern's announcing games there. So anyways, you know, last year I think they... was it last year? I can't remember. Last year did they bring a game to CES as an announcement or was that... or am I getting that confused with Comic-Con? I think they brought Venom to ComicCon I can remember Maybe it was Jaws Did they bring Jaws to CES I can remember Maybe they did Maybe Jaws was I can Now I can remember I losing track of time I can remember what happened yesterday By the way speaking of yesterday before we continue with the rumors we at a work event I been traveling everywhere I been all over the place lately It been really hard for me to keep track of things but I been all over the map and I support most of the United States except for East Coast so I support Central and West in the United States for my job And so I went out to Denver Colorado and we did this like you know if you work for any like larger company they do like these team building events And I actually really liked that promised Time Scene dock desk bpREEjs subtit пока na derm Throw pingott hand somebody not a pipcc subscriptions participatory apache recept party de desperate PDA in the The following content is a work of fiction.

    the when you live done the East Coast Michael развит oceans and uri eighteen when I live on the west coast Ocean West on good otherwise I have no for through where I have so let's get back to the room rose so this whole idea that stern is gonna flip flop the titles would be interesting because if that does happen that means Kong is gonna be key poisoned came that comes out around the CSS timeline in i think they bring it yet the other rumor and some others So with Spike3 that that would be Stern's updated platform because currently we're on Spike2. I have no idea. I was really hoping when we went to Stern and did that factory tour that George Gomez would give us a hint as to what things would be involved in Spike3. So I don't know. All I can think about is I'm sure they're going to significantly update the lighting system. Closed **Captions were provided by Trrones�� **Captions were provided by as a classic stage for the beginning of theだけ I'm a fan of the old school cabinet design, so I hope they don't mess with it too much. George Gomez on a podcast somewhere did talk about how he's like, look, I want it to still look good in a lineup. So I don't think it's going to be a drastic change from an aesthetic standpoint, but I do think they're going to significantly upgrade probably the componentry so that we can accommodate more accessories and it can feel a little bit more modern. I'm assuming there's probably going to Matt &

    I've been having so much fun with that. Speaking, speaking of that before we close off on the rumor thing, I did, this is my, I'm on week three of my electric bat tournament. So you guys know I was like all hopped up because that first week I won first place. Well, it didn't, it's been going progressively worse since then. So of course I didn't think I'd come back for week two or week three and get first place. Like it was one of those weird days where I was locked in. I was playing really well. I don't know, like fundamentally I felt like I was doing all the right things. I also have this weird notion that maybe when I, um, I love going to pinball with my friend Rudy, like, he's a really good friend of mine. But I don't know if, like, I get in my own head when I have someone else with me, because I felt like that first, I don't usually go to pinball tournaments alone, and I felt like I had no pressure, no stress, and I don't, that, that first week I went, and I, I kind of want to say that I do truly feel like that's why I did well, because I, I didn't care. I, I don't know, like, when I'm with a friend, maybe I'm, like, Can we continue with the Subconscious mind I'm trying to impress him or make sure I play well in front of my friend and it makes it worse I don't know, but I'm not saying I don't want to go to play pinball with my friend I think I need to just get over this mental weird thing I do to myself Be at week three which we just did this week wasn't the best It was kind of like bottom of the barrel, but the week two I was but in the middle of the road So but anyways, I played some fun games a dromada. I had never played is really fun. It's very limited I think they only made 500 out and how many of those are left in the world now, but And I played was it Twilight zone No, I can't remember. There was one other game that I played that I did pretty. Oh, I did okay on Mandalorian So I don't know what whirlwind I sucked. I sucked wind on whirlwind. It was terrible I know whirlwind is a beloved game, but man, it's funny when you have a bad game on a game you like I hate this game The following is a work of fiction.

    The movie is a little long and I don't care about Harry Potter. I know that I'm gonna get beat up for that. I know a lot of you probably love Harry Potter. I just don't give a crap about Harry Potter. I rode the ride in Universal. That was great. The butterbeer of the hell it is cool. Awesome. Don't care. I mean, I'll play it when it comes out. I hope Jersey Jack makes it amazing. They need a win like Jersey Jack. You have all of the pieces and I love Ken Cromwell.

It's weird. It's just a weird theme. Like I don't have a hair on my microphone or something It's probably a dog hair. I just I don't know man the barbecue thing. I played it at Expo and I'm all okay The game was a very easy game to pick up and play. You could get multi-ball fairly easy. I didn't really deep dive into the ruleset, but it just didn't do anything for me. And when I'm looking at the back glass and it looks like I'm looking at someone's camcorder footage of them slicing meat, it just is so weird. I just don't understand who that speaks to. So I can't think that anybody at American, and I know the game was like in the mind of, I can't remember the, shoot, Barry O who had passed away. So I can appreciate the tribute to him and everything, but maybe they could have done it in a different way. Like maybe released a super limited version of it, like 50 games or 100 games, which I even think you'd have a hard time selling 100. But I don't know how many of those they sold. But anyways, it's just weird. The next one from American is Cuphead. Cuphead is a cool looking video game. I actually really liked Cuphead because Cuphead translated well to arcade controls so I have played Cuphead on an actual arcade cabinet. Again, that wouldn't be one I would pick to make a pinball machine of though. There's so many gaming franchises. On the last podcast I talked about it like Castlevania or Sonic the Hedgehog. There's so many. Mario obviously has been done before. All these are just a few of the many video game franchises that I would pick over Cuphead. I think from an artwork perspective Cuphead is probably going to look really cool. You know if you do the artwork on that I think it would look neat. But anyways I don't get that one. So let's pivot back to Spooky really quick. There's always been a rumor of Beetlejuice or The Goonies. I'm telling you right now, if Spooky's next game was The Goonies, I think that would be one I would... The Goonies, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, I know Ghostbusters has been done, but holy crap, in modern times, put Spike3 on a Ghostbusters, maybe weave in some of the newer movie stuff, and it's like, you got a hit right there. I just don't feel like they're picking movie franchises that speak to us. I will say, I know there's been a bunch of heat on John Wick, and I think when I talk about I'm not gonna talk about John Wick. People automatically think that I have some kind of stake in that or because they invited me, that's why I like it. I bought the game and I love John Wick. I will admit, the modes are still a mess. Like, they don't make any sense, really. It's just like, yeah, shoot a bunch of lit stuff. The mode's feeling complete. But the new Lights Out feature's cool. I am liking the game more as the code updates, so I'm encouraged that I think if they keep going down that road and Tim Sexton keeps kind of putting some spin and flare on the code, I think that game is gonna end up being best chairminures of a while by Mimosa, I do like Halo though. Halo was like when I that's probably when I started getting out of console gaming when the original Xbox came out I did have Halo and I that was like my first I want to say that would have been around the time where I had my first apartment so I remember like my buddy coming over and we would just do nothing but play Halo together so I'm cool I would like to see it I think you could do some cool things with Halo but I'm not sure that's going to be like an instant hit or not it might be I don't know the other thing is obviously Dutch I'm not sure if you're familiar with the title, but it's a title that was written by a guy named Frank Pinnball, who's been rumored to have Back to the Future all this time. And there was some conversations. I think it was, it was either, I think it was, I want to say if it was Nap or it was Colin, I can't remember. But they were talking about how, you know, Dutch might have some issues trying to, like, Back to the Future would be a big title. You'd have a lot of interest in Back to the Future. Borodắn aâtea xestraląagement zäti misuynik erkennen poly motorcycle i byksAut MelanieBegoon Ochút aks replies au cute User I'm not sure if this was a John Wick thing, I can't remember if it was then or maybe it could have been in someone else's podcast. If so, I apologize. But there was some talks that the team over there had the capability or had the chance to make a Back to the Future at one point and they passed on it. Which is so weird to me. But I guess one of the things that George said is he's like, look, if the design team is going to make a game, I want to make sure they're passionate about it. and he said at the time that no one seemed to have that passion for it, which is so weird to me because Back to the Future is like, I don't really know many people that don't have, at least that are in our age range, that don't have really good positive feelings about that movie, the series of movies, and just like from their childhood. It was like such an impactful movie for me. I don't know, like, it's weird. I don't know if kids these days have this same thing. I feel like when I watched movies like Space Camp growing up or, I can't remember there was another flight of the navigators at the one I can't remember there was a lot of movies that came out Goonies there's so many movies account that were like that sparked my curiosity like these fantasy lands like labyrinth that it was just I don't know it like piqued your curiosity and it you felt like you were when you watched it and maybe it's because I was a kid but it felt like you escaped to an alternate reality for that that that hour and a half or that two hours that you watched it and it seemed like magical and keep in mind that that The

    Future, I can't imagine kids being all that nostalgic for the kind of content that's created today because it feels like disposable content to me. has Mansha Kunar with interview plusragenhamlyn & fl 근� notre forum below. I'm a fan of pinball and I kind of yearn for that old day and I think that's why I always picked the name Retro Ralph because I felt like I really am nostalgic for all that old stuff and pinball being such a mechanical thing really does scratch that itch for me. It really does make me feel like I'm doing something that maybe is a little older. But anyways, we're over the half hour mark so what I'm going to do is we're going to do the voicemails as the last thing. So I've got three voicemails. Three voicemails. I'm going to start with Chad. I don't, again, I don't listen to these things prior, so hopefully none of them are dirty or have anything that I would have to bleep out because typically I don't really edit these. Actually, I don't. Like, just so you guys know, when I do these podcasts, this is one stream of consciousness. There's no editing in here. I do usually add video footage for the people that are watching it on YouTube, but I do not edit this. Like, I don't do quick cuts. I don't, I don't use any AI to take out empty space or anything like that. This is all one take. and that's how it goes. So I do that because I feel like I want it to feel like authentic to you. And yeah, it's just so whatever I say is what I say. You know what I mean? So yeah, anyways, hopefully you guys appreciate the fact that it's just the raw unfiltered version. I really, maybe in the beginning I started editing them and I really didn't like the way it was coming out to me. So the first few episodes I did do some editing but now all editing I do is for the people Soviethta astralㅠ brunch turbuluitar adopting, and the original movie, Gojira, was in black and white. It came out in 1954. So that's, it's a 70th anniversary edition to celebrate the history of the character. It needs to be in black and white because the movie was. I think that pinball machine looks really awesome. and fun fact because of post World War II kind of xenophobia there was an American version of the original Godzilla released in the States where they kind of recut it and made Raymond Burr who played Perry Mason they made him the main character because they didn't want to release a movie with Japanese people you know people were you know some racism after World War II with Japanese people so there's like this other version of the original Godzilla with Raymond Burr and now that the original Gojira was released in the United States, you know, that's considered canon. Like, people make fun of the Raymond Burr version. So as long as your pinball machine doesn't have Raymond Burr on it, the black and white is awesome. And if it does have Raymond Burr on it, smash it! Okay, I didn't actually know that. I gotta admit, it was interesting because I feel like Godzilla does fall in the category of a theme that people initially wouldn't be excited about. But then, because the game is so good, and the team did so well, Keith Elwin and the team did such an awesome job on that game. It has literally everything you'd want out of a pinball machine. But yeah, no, it is a representation of the and the original Japanese movies But yeah Chad I didn know that That awesome Actually fun fact I grew up with Chad I went to school with Chad in high school So he from the same hometown that I grew up in Lincoln Rhode Island And Chad and I reconnected through my podcast I used to do called Coffee On agreeing multiplying rare The Outcasts Stuff like that and I wasn't really part of like a popular group of people so it was kind of Like I think Chad was someone I really connected with because he was so creative and he was always writing these cool stories and I'm Gonna tell us really quick cuz we're getting we're getting up to 40 minutes and that's way longer than I usually do the podcast but um There was a principal in our school and ải S1 by extract web needing usually spring.

    Call me fine but I was that's the only thing that's bummer about Stern there's no if you miss one day that's it resets back to zero I think there should be some lean leniency maybe there or or I think they need to adjust their milestone dates because like I go from I think it's yeah 90 days is a streak and then it goes from 90 to 120 like why isn't there a hundred one like it should almost be like ten day increments because some of us travel man but anyways let's go to the next voicemail this is from Jean Gonzalez The end of the show. And that's all we have for today. Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. And I'll see you next time. Bye. out sujetetepatient Esoan.juice-loooosuj- Simple lol верхpointy訪Campage Ohh it's like a suicide There you go for the frozen mother form CH The initial new machine phase, how do you decide on what you'll play? Just curious to know what someone else's gameplay strategy is. Yeah, that's it. And also hopefully we'll see an update on your pinball room on whatever new machines you have and I always find it interesting, your pinball room. But that's it for now, but keep up the great work, man. Thank you. Thanks, Gene. Appreciate you, man. So, that's a good question. So, Gene's saying, and I think a lot of us struggle with this, right? Especially if you end up with larger cut—oh my, I'm gonna burp. I'm so sorry. Okay. I think this is something we all kind of struggle with, because you'll have a collection, and as your collection ages, you'll tend to play the newer games a bit more. And then—so it's—I don't say I have a real strategy. I definitely go by, like, how I'm feeling that day, but I have a good variety of games, I think. the

    The Man, you know what? I really wish gene that I had a good like a good answer for you But it's kind of more of like when I walk into the room It's how I'm feeling and I have a good variety of games that shoot differently So I think that's important when you're picking a game and sometimes people pick games for different reasons, right? Some people are just very very heavy on theme and then they they're the way it plays is secondary. I think for me I'm probably the opposite Over time I've become the opposite where I'm really interested in how it plays and that it has interesting shots and that's what's important to me So having that variety in your collection is important and that's why when I had like venom when I had like venom and stranger things it kind of like Venom and stranger things you know even though they're not the same game, but they're The shots are it's like you know stranger things. It's it's left ramp right ramp

    Demogorgon you know and the drop target so the variety of that game is not really The Variety so that was one where I think I gravitated more toward it because I love stranger things So that's one where I you know I contradict myself because that one was more of a theme that I was really excited about because I love the series
    43:48
    And then venom, you know, those shots are all right in front of you So but but venom where venom gets me is the insider connected Features and how you walk through the progression of the game and then then then having those like boss battles Translation

    Tournament If a content creator and several content creators jump on a bandwagon, I think sometimes it has a negative influence on people's opinions of that game overall and might even shy away, it might shy some people away from ever even trying it. I know people are like, oh, I can make up my own mind, and most people do, but I do think sometimes like a bad juju about a game can propagate, and the game may actually be a good game, and most people might like it, but it would shy people away. Smash WAHH THAT IS Wские DE excerpt steel verdad agree r сер Municip estrepes A final I hope that some of you guys can join us there because it'd be really awesome to have some of you there on site.
