Episode 165 - Everything is Weird

Note: Several recording difficulties this episode. We attempted to balance the audio ahead of time but in actual recording it seems we still haven’t optimized the mics to capture just the people closest to them so there is some reverb, particularly on Dennis. Also Windows decided it just had to update and given Easter activities we could not wait longer and had to record while the install was running. Several audio sections failed to record and so edits around some discussions had to happen. Apologies upfront for the quality issues!

Pinball: We talk some about Fathom Revisited and 2022 game releases, have an extended discussion about P3 versus traditional pinball, and FINALLY catch up on Rumor Corner.

Video Games: We prove updates on Wargaming, Lego and Epic partnering, Elden Ring having a new super-fast speedrun, Hello Games planning an ambitious new game, and a slew of Activision updates.

Episode 181 - Pro vs Prem

Pinball: We talk about Stern Pinball shipping Bond Pro models and soon ending their Home edition runs of Jurassic Park and Star Wars. We discuss CGC’s CCrLE finally shipping. We spend a brief about of time on the TWIPYs,and then we talk about the new third-party game Drained for the P3. We spend a lot of time answering a listener email on whether we’d pick the Pro or the Premium model of various in-production Stern games. We conclude with Rumor Corner.

Video Games: This segment covers some insider trading arrests tied to Square Enix, Blizzard partially reversing course on their SMS verification rules, Pokémon fallout, and impressive sales for
God of War Ragnarök.

Note: The virtual mixing board lost connection to Tony’s microphone during the TWIPY discussion and so he will be quiet during that part (as you can only hear what Dennis’s mic picked up from him). This issue was caught and fixed after that segment but left in as most of the discussion was from Dennis anyway.
