Texas Pinball Festival

"He says that the game is $11,500. $11,500 for this, which makes it the most expensive Wizard of Oz ever made."

"But the whole reason I came down to Texas pinball festival, first and foremost, was to see so many of you out there who I normally don't get to talk and hang out with. And so many of you guys out there who chat with me over the last few days, I just want to say, I think I love all you guys."

"The next game coming out from Jersey Jack pinball is Wizard of Oz. It's the Yellow brick road edition. We are most likely going to see that at Texas pinball Festival."

"I want to thank Greg and Zach and Jeff for putting on an incredible show. I mean, this year's TWIPYs blew last year's away. I mean, it was a lot of work."

"And I'm really, I'm going to talk a little bit about my feelings on the one individual who tried to spoil the evening when we got to the favorite pinball podcast category."

"The favorite festival was TPF."

"It's an amazing show. I think for those of you who have been here before you know what it's all about. And for those who haven't come to the Texas pinball Festival, I highly recommend it."

"I want to start out this sort of special edition by giving a quick thanks to Kim and Ed who put on this show. They do an amazing job."

"So at Texas pinball Festival in March, coin ticker is there with a finalized game. And there's nothing really new here. I mean, this looks good. ARA is on board. Here's the final game."

"First, there's just a lot of pinball here and it's great. I don't know how many machines are here. I don't even want to guess but if I did guess, gosh, I would have to say there's like 300 machines plus here."

"There were so many times in the day when you couldn't play where either the vendor room was closed where new pins were or the player was being taken over by the tournament. So this shows great because you can come in and you can just jump on pinball"

"And I'll say that the most amazing part of this show and I think this goes without saying but this is also the most amazing part of the hobby. It's the people."

"I love hearing people's stories of driving seven hours. One of the major highways is flooded and it doesn't matter people are coming from all over the world."

"And I asked him about the big Lebowski. And he said to me, he said, Chris, they're never going to make that game work. They're never going to make it work. And I was like, why? He's like, they're using a contract manufacturer. You can't contract manufacturer in pinball and staying business."

"I think it's going to be a really interesting TPF because there are there are just a lot of games coming out in this sort of small window you've got attack from Mars remake you've got alien you've got dialed in you've got Aerosmith all of them are vying for your money"

"so our launch events um and marches delay out the vision the plan okay and um and TPF just happens to be uh uh uh you know i seem on the cake that we get to go out and everyone just gets to just have fun and relax and and just uh just enjoy the events rather than creating uh you know a launch at the event and and being under that pressure right"

"i think when i've talked 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 um we i know you're gonna you're gonna laugh as most people were look"

"They show up at Texas pinball Festival 2017 and Yop is up there with this new plan. He's going to raise money by creating a new game, a bride of pinball, 25th anniversary game. He's calling it a super limited edition, 25th anniversary game where he's gonna make 150 bride of pinball 3.0s."

"And what's great about this show is you can jump on everything and play it. When I went to Expo last year, I was somewhat disappointed because the player wasn't big."

"when I look at that game I mean I do think it's a full featured pro I don't I don't even know like how much more you need to put on to make it in LA I actually think he put probably more than enough on that game"

"i played the Ghostbusters pro at texas pinball festival but as you guys who are there no there was always a long line and you got on it and you sort of more just mesmerized by the machine actually existing and being in front of you then really sort of paying attention to uh... the game itself"

"why would you not have it so that one handed mode is being experienced by everyone who steps up to the game... why don't we have like a Texas pinball Festival mode in which the game is just on that to give people a feel of how cool it is"

"when you look at alien pinball the standard game the game he brought to TPF looks great when I look at that game I mean I do think it's a full featured pro I don't I don't even know like how much more you need to put on to make it in LA I actually think he put probably more than enough on that game"

"But for the most part, they turned something that went from just being a Twitch stream into a live event that packed the room that had incredible quality video introducing each category and having all the different presenters from the industry come up there and present all the different awards. It really was an amazing night."

"I saw at the Texas pinball Festival this year. Greg Ferris and Dennis Nordman telling like every possible secret and looking cranny about making their all a viral game."

"They should not call it the Texas pinball festival. They should call it the Texas people festival because these shows, they're all about the people. You go to the show to hang out with your pinball friends that you haven't seen in a long time."

"I think this the show, the show organizers need to start having a little bit of a policy. We are not going to give you the mic and we are not going to let you ran out the room. If you are going to do absolutely nothing of interest of no of no news value whatsoever."

"Why reveal it at T. P. F. in which people are going to want to have the game here to play if the game is not ready. Reveal it on Tuesday. And then you have about a month to get the game ready."

"for those who haven't come to the Texas Pinball Festival, I highly recommend it"

Strong positive recommendation for Texas Pinball Festival as must-attend show

"All right. So M. G. C. It seems to be like the show now that's getting more of the big reveals maybe J. J. has got a lot more cloud in the industry with his cowboy hat."

"all right so what he's saying here and this is an important point is that Andrew Heighway is offering alien pinball for $6500 and when you look at alien pinball the standard game the game he brought to TPF looks great"

"Can you guys need to accept the fact that just hanging out with people having beers was more important than seeing your pinball machine. So you can't tell me if Stern was like, we're going to reveal Star Wars. Or we're going to show Ghostbusters for the first time that all the Pinside people would have got together and say, hey, let's go there instead."

"If people were really, really excited to see what you had to show at Texas pinball festival, they would have gone. They had a choice. I mean, they're going to go to the Pinside meeting greet, which was just a bunch of people at a bar having beers. Or I'm going to go see the reveal of Alien and see the toy in the video. And what did people decide to do? They skipped it."
