Texas Pinball Festival

"Everyone is looking forward to playing the game at TPF. How quickly do you expect to get production line up and running at the new facility After the announcement of game three and how soon after TPF do you expect it to be first sale for customers"

"But this is how you do it you do not show a game At mar you know March 25th 6th and 27th and then make people wait two months to get it. If you have the game at Texas and people are ordering the game and people like the game They want the game they don't want to see what you're working on and then wait six months"

"there's a reason why Chris the pin turn a guy who dressed like willy wanker he dressed like willy wanker at Texas pinball festival he's the biggest wanker fanatic he has an own one and if you ask him why he doesn't own one it's everything I've just said"

"And if you're playing at a pinball Festival in which hundreds, there's eight to 10,000 people who are strangers, who are using pinball Machines and not washing their hands, which is what happens at pinball shows. It is probably the last place you should find yourself is on a pinball Machine, if you're trying to prevent yourself from getting the coronavirus."

"If they rock up to Texas pinball festival and they don't have games on the line and games in boxes, they're going to be in big trouble."

"It's also, you know, it's laughing because the coronavirus and Texas pinball Festival don't go together. You look at how to keep yourself healthy during the coronavirus. It's like, don't come in contact where other people have been and wash your hands. And it's like, well, the pinball Machine is the worst toy possible."

"KELPS then just sort of, so that meant I was on an original theme. The business partner that I started with needed to step away from the business. So we originally had started with a different theme. So KELPS sort of came about very, very quickly, about eight weeks out from getting a white wood to Texas."

"And I just feel like everyone just like, you know, the cards just all went up in the air. And now it's all chaotic. And for you, the listeners of all these shows, it's been chaotic for you. For the people planning this show, it's now chaotic for them."

"I think we're going to win the third TWIPY. I think as results were coming in, it was quite clear. We're, we're the, the enthusiasm. And we're the audience lies."

"one of them being getting a white wood to TPF 2019, I had a very, very compressed timeline."

"And I'll explain why a lot of work goes into the show, a lot of planning goes into the show, a lot of energy goes into celebrating the best in pinball at Texas pinball festival. And I just feel like everyone just like, you know, the cards just all went up in the air."

"I think all of this reshuffling of all of the pinball media and all the pinball streamers and all of this stuff, I feel like it all could have weighed it until after the TWIPYs. And I'll explain why a lot of work goes into the show, a lot of planning goes into the show, a lot of energy goes into celebrating the best in pinball at Texas pinball festival."

"And it's sort of just like sucked the air out of the room and the enthusiasm to get down there, the enthusiasm to be a part of this event, it's just dissipated."

"And I would argue that the show was very much about them as well. You can't just extract the entertaining host from a show and still feel like the show is going to go on and be even more fun and exciting this year."

"but man you know again like I'd hate there's going to be pressure on all these games to deliver this kind of excitement"

"so here's here's I don't think slash is going to be at TPF I'll tell you why because Guns N' Roses is playing lala polusa like the 24th and 27th or something so I guess I missed those lala polusa dates so it's highly unlikely that slash will appear a tp have to unveil Guns N' Roses"

"I think slash is going to help Jersey Jack pinball reveal Guns N' Roses at TPF. I think the dates line up. And what's funny is this, if they don't have that lined up right now, that's not in the books. I hope they listen to this show and realize the dates are perfect for slash to reveal the game at TPF 2020 to sign translites."

"The lights go down. The opening chords to jungle slash comes out and then he unveils the machine with Eric and talks about the creation of it. That's what I would do."

"So what's happening between March 24th and April 3rd? Texas pinball Festival. Do you think that slash who loves festival, I mean, he loves conventions? Do you think slash who helped design this game with Eric?"

"I mean, the line for slash would be around the block. If Jack were smart, you'd have to order a collector's edition to get on the signature line to get slash to personally sign for you."

"And it's during these periods To Texas pinball Festival and deeproot And Ninja Turtles and all that stuff And it's during these periods In which I know I think people start to lose patience"

"But I still think nothing new from CGC will happen at Texas pinball Festival. So that is what I'm hearing from CGC."

"One news item I'm hearing is that Chicago Gaming Company will not be bringing cactus canyon to TPF. In fact, I'm hearing cactus canyon might even be delayed until end of the year if not next year."

"I'm also hearing, you know, it's going to be at TPS. But I don't know."

"And even though the games weren't finished code wise, we at least, we at least had like a good two to three days of people's first impressions of flipping the game before people had to order the game."

"Like I remember Alice Cooper was I think released at Texas pinball festival. Rob Zombie was revealed at a show and they would show the game and then people could jump on the game and play it immediately."

"it's a long ways away Texas pinball festival uh so you know the the lesson is this don't don't tell anybody what your next game is"

"one of them is not okay and whichever one is done first is the one they are going to bring to market and reveal at texas pinball festival"

"whichever one is done first is the one they are going to bring to market and reveal at texas pinball festival"

"Now that doesn't mean I won't reveal it before TPF because I probably will but right now I don't want to toss their theme into the mix with Rick and Morty and Stranger Things because I am part of me feels like it just can't compete at that level."

"I don't get a work bonus in December I get it like it's like an april it's like oh just in time for TPF just in time to see the march games um but that's where right that's where we're at"

"but I am I am looking forward to AP's next game now here's what I heard I heard they had two games in that they're making one is license one is not and they will bring the game out that is finished first at TPF"

"now here's what I heard I heard they had two games in that they're making one is license one is not and they will bring the game out that is finished first at TPF"

"they have officially announced that their next game will be revealed at Texas pinball festival now that's four months away so what's on the line over the next four months"

"I'm keeping Raza under wraps and I'm announcing our first release at TPF or wherever right and then I go ahead and I reveal Raza there along with another pin I do that at the same time I guarantee Raza sells out that day without even without even putting out any information on it"

"I think when I talk to Ed about TPF and unsure about whether we wanted to show up whether we wanted to launch around there it became more and more evident that we did not want to launch at TPF right."

"And and TPF just happens to be you know I seem on the cake that we get to go out and everyone just gets to just have fun and relax and just just enjoy the events rather than creating you know launch at the event and and being under that pressure."

"Right June 30th is the end of it but they you know I think they're gonna want to have games available to buy around TPF and March April this year"

"stern never waits for the shows they actually they usually time their stuff around the shows but never at the shows themselves I kind of think that's smart"

"the problem now is everyone sort of spaces out their reveals around these shows and so once expose over it's almost like well there's nothing else we can do we got a way to TPF but that's not true"

"but the problem now is everyone sort of spaces out their reveals around these shows and so once expose over it's almost like well there's nothing else we can do we got a way to TPF but that's not true"

"so we didn't see it yet so as I said I don't think you're gonna see American pinball's next title until TPF because I don't think they're gonna show it until it's ready to go on the line I don't think they're gonna make the same mistake again and do some like six month early reveal"

"But, um, yeah, the, the, Elvira in general, when the game came out, like I, I know Elvira's manager Scott, because we met two years ago at Texas pinball festival and he came up to me and said he really liked my work and hope we could work together some day and he ran up actually to her to Cassandas room and came down with a hardcover book that was personalized to me from her."

"I know Elvira's manager Scott, because we met two years ago at Texas pinball festival and he came up to me and said he really liked my work and hope we could work together some day and he ran up actually to her to Cassandas room and came down with a hardcover book that was personalized to me from her. I'm like, wow, that was nice."

"Which is silly because with the internet and facebook and media you don't need a pinball show to get people excited about your pinball game, but pinball is very analog you do want people to jump on it. Enjoy it and play it and give that kind of feedback and that you can't get that unless you have people physically jumping on a machine."

"So hope I think TPF is where we're gonna see the new game from American pinball. Right, it's like this weird thing in pinball like if you miss expo then it has to be TPF. It's like the other months don't count in the world of pinball reveals."

"now a game that I never thought I would see for sale again is the matrix pinball remember the matrix pinball like four or five of them were made super cool re skin of johnny new monic okay so I had a chance to buy one of those two years ago at TPF I hesitated I passed I should have bought it right"

"so I had a chance to buy one of those two years ago at TPF I hesitated I passed I should have bought it right you know me I want a rare game based on a cool thing that like is super exclusive I I could have bought it for twenty thousand dollars and I wavered and it seems like too much"

"you know me I want a rare game based on a cool thing that like is super exclusive I I could have bought it for twenty thousand dollars and I wavered and it seems like too much I heard that a matrix recently changed hands for mid thirty thousand dollar price point"

"Oh, yeah. So I was there the year they showed that. I remember it well. Right. And it was well, so you know, surprisingly priced at $12,500."
