  • Right?

    Episode 156, how many times can Seth say “right”? I actually had to stop listening to the episode because him saying right all the time became annoying!

  • Good stuff!

    I enjoy their dynamic and commentary, but they’re weirdly out of touch with what people connect with. Come for the facts and insight, shrug at the strange opinions.

  • Eh so many better shows

    Listened to a few of these and one guy rants and frankly seems a little unhinged in the episode about an award show.

  • Great pinball content

    Wonderful balance of info/ opinion/ and great interviews. The pinball content is great but the hosts themselves seem like the kind of people who bring a net positive to the world.

    My favourite of the multiple pinball podcasts I subscribe to!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stern Pinball's Transformers | Reveal Podcast
Q: Why did you choose Autobots versus Decepticons as the main play mode?
To keep the core player experience straightforward and fun, while still offering Decepticon features as flavor through specific modes; it balances accessibility with depth by avoiding an overly complex split from the start.
Stern Pinball's Transformers | Reveal Podcast
Q: Can you explain energon cubes and how they affect modes?
Energon cubes light up the spinner, enable easier versions of modes when activated, and influence scoring in wizard modes; players must decide whether to energize for a safer, lower-scoring variant or keep energon for higher potential scores, adding strategic depth.
Yukon Yeti by Turner Pinball
Q: What makes the Yukon Yeti different from previous games like White Water?
The Yukon Yeti introduces a large, non-moving Yeti topper for visual impact, a five-ball Avalanche multiball for fast gameplay, and a highly engineered electrical and mechanical system designed for reliability and easier manufacturing, while maintaining a unique Yukon-themed narrative.
Yukon Yeti by Turner Pinball
Q: How did Chris Granner come to do the audio for Yukon Yeti?
Chris Granner was approached after the team acknowledged the need to improve the audio; they reached out via LinkedIn, shared the project, and after discussions, he agreed to get involved, recognizing the fit with White Water and Dennis' legacy.
Yukon Yeti by Turner Pinball
Q: Is Yukon Yeti technically an unlicensed theme?
Yes, Yukon Yeti is described as an unlicensed theme, leveraging the Yukon gold rush story rather than a licensed IP, while still incorporating recognizable elements and a strong narrative.
